1831Best.-Nr. BK0169Philadelphia: William F. Geddes 1831. 2 12 2 pp. Stitched pamphlet measuring 4 ¼ x 7 inches. Good plus with scattered foxing and soiling some wear to edges. An early appeal for organized missionary work among Philadelphia's urban poor issued upon the establishment of the Philadelphia City Mission in March 1831. The organization brought together Christians from several evangelical denominations to reach residents who rarely or never attended church. Its organizers acknowledged that poverty itself could prevent participation in religious life citing "the want of suitable apparel or the want of provision for the poor in our places of worship-into this last reason every Church may do well to inquire." The pamphlet begins by describing the large numbers of people living in Philadelphia and its surrounding districts who remained outside the ordinary reach of the churches: "The most inattentive christian observer must have remarked that there are many persons in the City and Liberties who live in the habitual neglect of the public worship of God and are as destitute of spiritual life as if they were a thousand miles removed from the sound of the Gospel." The Mission proposed to carry religious instruction directly into poorer neighborhoods through home visits prayer meetings the distribution of Bibles and tracts and efforts to increase attendance at Sabbath and infant schools. Its members were to be drawn from different evangelical denominations and required to demonstrate personal piety before undertaking missionary work. An interesting document of Philadelphia's early urban missionary movement particularly for its recognition of the economic and social barriers separating the city's poorer inhabitants from established religious institutions. .

In-12, plein veau marbré de l'époque, dos à nerfs fleuronnés et cloisonnés, pièce de titre de veau havane, roulette sur les coupes, tranches jaspées, 251, (21) p. dont un faux-titre et deux titres. Edition originale de cette réfutation des 'Pensées philosophiques' de Diderot dans laquelle l'auteur dispose le texte intégral de Diderot et sa propre réfutation en regard, page à page. Le faux-titre: "Pensées philosophiques et pensées chrétiennes, mises en parallèle ou en opposition" est suivi de deux pages de titre: celle des 'Pensées philosophiques', à l'adresse et à la date de l'édition originale (« La Haye, aux dépens de la Compagnie, 1746 »), face à celle des Pensées chrétiennes. Cette réfutation est l'oeuvre du pasteur lausannois Georges P.G. Polier de Bottens (1675-1759). Issu d'une famille renommée de Lausanne, il était docteur en théologie morale et devint professeur et recteur de l'Académie de sa ville. Adversaire résolu des Lumières, il avait pourtant pour neveu Antoine Noé Polier de Bottens, ami et correspondant de Voltaire et auteur de plusieurs articles pour l’Encyclopédie. (Adams, PD16, II, p.286. Tchemerzine-Scheler, II, p. 918-919). Un dernier feuillet de catalogue annoncé par une réclame (« CA ») n'est pas présent. Ce catalogue manque également à l'exemplaire de la BnF, à celui décrit par Tchemerzine, ainsi qu'à l'ensemble des exemplaires recensés par WorldCat. Il n'a probablement jamais été inséré. Bon exemplaire, très frais, bien relié à l'époque.

1859Best.-Nr. 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 books
