réf. 57805Original illuminated document on parchment; hand-lettered in italic with gilt illuminations at upper left and right margins; signed beneath work by the calligrapher "E. von E." unidentified. With original signatures of 71 board members and staff of the Henry Street Settlement. Mild soil at margins; Near Fine. A handsome hand-lettered tribute to outgoing President of the Board of the Henry Street Settlement Newbold Morris. Morris 1902-1966 was an important figure in Henry Street history assuming the board presidency soon after the reorganization of the Settlement under Director Helen Hall in 1944. Morris also played a prominent role in New York City planning and politics during the Robert Moses era; he was among the more prominent members of the New York Planning Commission; was President of the City Council from 1938 to 1945 and an unsuccessful candidate for Mayor in 1945 and 1949. Later in 1961 Morris achieved some notoriety as the City Parks Commissioner when he rejected the permits of hundreds of folk musicians who had been performing in Washington Square Park sparking the so-called "Beatnik Riot" one of the opening salvos of Sixties countercultural activism. The document is undated but expresses appeciation for Morris's "completion of a decade of service" placing it in the vicinity of 1954-5. Beneath the calligraphic portion the document has been signed by seventy-one individuals including fellow board-members staff and residents. These include a host of prominent mid-century New York figures beginning with Hall herself and including the prominent civic leader Nicholas Kelley; choreographer Alwin Nikolais; economist Mary Keyserling; painter Jack Levine; long-time Henry Street youth worker Ralph Tefferteller and many others. A unique and visually attractive artifact marking the mid-century apex of one of the most successful and long-lived social welfare projects in New York. unknown
1859réf. 88899New York: Chas. W. Baker 1859. First Edition. Sewn pamphlet. Octavo; printed paper wrappers 8pp. Text printed in double columns. Old stains to covers and bottom margin throughout else Good and sound. A pamphlet issued by authority of the American Industrial Association of which Hoxie a District judge and reform-minded philanthropist was Vice-President. Hoxie's rather toothless report regarding the "alarming increase of the necessitous poor" within the New York city limits distilled to its essence is that "something must be done." Of far greater interest is a brief postscript relating a meeting of New York's "sewing women" under the auspices of the Association where a plan was presented to supply a clean well-lit workroom supplied with new sewing machines at no.10 Fourth Avenue in Manhattan for the use of seamstresses in distress. The presentation was made by John Cooke a Methodist minister who in the best tradition of paternalistic condescension remarked addressing a room-full of seamstresses: "The greatest sufferers are the needle women. Unfortunately they have themselves invited the evil by preferring this mode of living to other avocations sic within their reach thus crowding the city labor market and by an unavoidable consequence cheapening labor." Cooke goes on to propose a solution whereby young working women would be transported out of the city and put into situations in "the country." The proposal for free sewing machines and a clean place to work was met with favor by the women's representatives. No mention is made of their reaction to the idea of voluntary exile to parts unknown. Chas. W. Baker unknown

1860réf. 46405258s. l. n. d., (vers 1860) ; 2 volumes in-8, demi-chagrin à coins, doubles filets dorés, dos à nerfs orné de fleurons dorés et filets dorés et à froid. (Relié vers 1880) titre, 1 f. bl., XIV pp., 1 f. bl., 503 pp. - 1 f., 147 pp.Traductions de textes allemands sur la vie des papes. Elles sont l’œuvre d’un même traducteur qui n’a pas signé son travail. Texte soigneusement calligraphié.1 - VOIGT (J.) Histoire de Grégoire VII. C’est une traduction résumée de la seconde édition allemande du Hildebrand als Papst Gregorius der Siebente und sein Zeitalter de J. Voigt parue en 1845. La première édition avait paru en 1815, une autre édition a paru à Vienne en 1819, une traductions française par M. Jager a paru en 1838 avec une préface de ce dernier. Il semble que cette préface posait quelques problèmes au pouvoir autrichien qui fit interdire cette édition. Une traduction italienne avec la même préface de Jager a paru à Milan (alors occupée par l’Autriche) sans y être interdite alors qu’elle l’était en Autriche. Johannes Voigt (1786-1863) était un historien et théologien prussien qui enseignait à Königsberg.“Plusieurs histoires de Grégoire VII ont été publiées depuis celle de Voigt (...) celle que j’ai écrite n’est, comme je l’ai déjà dit, qu’un résumé de la seconde édition de l’ouvrage de Voigt, résumé fait, d’ailleurs avant la publication de ces deux derniers ouvrages et destiné à demeurer toujours en manuscrit. Il m’a semblé néanmoins qu’elle pouvait encore, par son exactitude générale et sa brièveté, ne pas manquer complètement d’intérêt pour ceux qui la liraient.” Dit le traducteur dans sa préface.2 - THEINER (A.) - GESTIN (P. de). Histoire du pontificat de Clément XIV. Dans un court texte introductif, l’auteur de la traduction déclare que ce texte est “tiré de l’Histoire du pontificat de Clément XIV, écrite d’après les documents inédits des archives secrètes du Vatican, par le Père Augustin Theiner, prêtre de l’Oratoire, et traduite de l’allemand sous les yeux de l’auteur par Mr. Paul de Geslin, missionnaire apostolique. Cette traduction a été éditée à Paris en trois volumes...” Il s’agit donc, ici aussi, d’un résumé de la traduction.
First edition, 12mo (168 x 105 mm), [9], 10-103, [1], [4, publishers ads]pp., some light spotting, orig. pink boards, rebacked with new spine label, uncut.
