1914rif. 206801914. Daniels John. In Freedom's Birthplace: A Study of the Boston Negroes 1914 presents an early twentieth century sociological examination of African American life in Boston grounded in extended field research and community engagement. Written by a social reformer affiliated with settlement work and urban social service institutions the study compiles nearly a decade of observation and consultation with Black Bostonians to document demographic patterns labor conditions class structure and institutional affiliations. The work situates Boston's Black population within a longer historical trajectory beginning with emancipation in Massachusetts in 1781 and continuing through the development of a free Black community closely tied to abolitionist activity in the nineteenth century providing a substantial empirical record for the study of race urban life and reform era social science. Daniels John. In Freedom's Birthplace: A Study of the Boston Negroes. Boston and New York: Houghton Mifflin Company 1914. First edition. One volume. The text is organized in part through historical and analytical chapters with early sections addressing the formation of racial attitudes and subsequent chapters presenting data on employment property ownership and social organization including religious and political institutions. Daniels draws upon interviews local records and collaboration with numerous members of Boston's African American community whom he acknowledges collectively in the preface. Produced during the Progressive Era the study reflects contemporaneous efforts to apply social scientific methods to questions of race inequality and urban reform. Its detailed statistical and descriptive approach contributes to the broader development of American sociology and provides a foundation for examining the relationship between Black community formation and northern urban environments in the decades before the Great Migration. Minor edge wear to covers and spine ends; pencil inscription on front endpaper dated 1917; overall very good condition. unknown

1881rif. 2301150003Civil Service Reform Association Boston Mass. 1881. First Edition. Art Prints & Posters. Very Good. American Civil Service Reform : Massachusetts : Good Governance in the Gilded Age Original Broadside. Sheet in excellent condition. Printed on blue paper. Two folds. Dimensions: 14 1/2 x 21 inches. Small ink stamp on bottom left corner dated 1881. The broadside lays out the principles of good government. It offers quotes from President Grant and Gen. Garfield about the importance of civil service reform; the example of success in England; explains the core reason for the Civil Service Reform Association; a brief view of the Association's constitution; and a list of the principal officers. The Association's President Moorfield Storey and other "Mugwumps" were strongly in favor of anti-corruption / good government reforms advocated by Grover Cleveland and other reformers. "The principles' of the Association were as follows: "That while certain officers of the Government should be in sympathy with the policy of the Administration the routine business should be conducted on business principles; that officers should be appointed on account of fitness for the work to be done and should be continued in office as long as they do that work well' that offices should not be used for partisan purposes; that Representatives are chosen to legislate and their time should not be given to the distribution of patronage; that the adoption of the well-devised system carrying out these principles will insure better administration and better legislation." Also includes a reprinted article on the Association from the New York Times February 19 1881. Civil Service Reform Association (Boston, Mass.) unknown

The "Official catalog musical program list of exhibitors" for this fourth congress of members of the Boston Retail Grocers Association. The association was founded in 1881 and held its first food fair that year.

One of the very rare precursors to the famous Old Mr. Boston Bartender's Guide 1935. Following Repeal Ben-Burk Distillers published the Guide which was to become one of the iconic cocktail recipe books. Originally published as a promotional item for the Ben-Burk line of spirits distilled in Boston the Guide became a staple of professional and home bars around the country.

1935rif. 233291935. Public TransitMassachusetts Trolley and railway car photograph archive documenting electric transit circulation across Boston and the Greater Boston Area including Lynn Haverhill Lawrence Saugus Marblehead Watertown in the 1930s. The archive records cars trolley routes terminals and yards on the streets of Boston and surrounding cities during the long transition from privately run trolley networks to publicly managed metropolitan transit. Most images show the Boston Elevated Railway and Eastern Massachusetts Street Railway orbit with additional views tied to Springfield Providence and Connecticut operations placing the photographs within the broader interurban rail network that linked Boston to surrounding towns before the official creation of the MBTA. Boston's subway system is the oldest in the United States created in the 1890s by the Rapid Transit Commission in response to severe streetcar congestion on Tremont Street. The system created by the Boston Elevated Railway Company at the turn of the century helped define the infrastructure of modern Boston transit. These photographs preserve the street-level operating environment in the early years of expanding public transport in the city: destination boards transfer points yard scenes terminal loops and rolling stock moving through dense commercial districts snowbound streets and residential outskirts prior to the establishment of the MBTA in 1947. Photo archive of 41 silver gelatin photographs approximately 3 x 5.5 inches greater Boston and nearby cities in New England circa 1934-1946. The archive includes single-car and articulated streetcars coupled cars work or service equipment and yard scenes photographed in active street settings. Visible destination and route identifiers include Main Myrtle Lakeside Watertown Boston Tunnel Beach Bluff Saugus Branch Essex St Lawrence Main St line Haverhill Oak Park line and Marblehead Depot with captions on verso marking dates and locations. Several photographs show cars in dense commercial blocks with visible storefronts and wall advertising including American Loan & Savings Association Whitworth's Rubber Sporting Goods M. Casey & Co. Cigars & Tobacco Coca-Cola Pillsbury's Best Flour Harms School of Business and Rem for coughs; others show cars at depots loops and yards including Hooker St Yards. Repeated fare and service slogans are also visible on the cars especially "Save money with weekly pass" and "Ride all day for $1 20 cities 51 towns" makes the archive particularly strong as evidence of regional transit marketing and network integration. Other images capture scenes of the train cars in the snow at crossings switching tracks and running beside early automobiles an active record of the trolley system functioning within everyday urban traffic. This archive preserves the operating network that fed a larger system of public transit across city neighborhoods and outlying towns serviced by America's oldest subway system. The photographs show the routes terminal circulation yard storage and municipal reach of this system especially in the Eastern Massachusetts territory where one fare structure and one rolling-stock family served dozens of communities. Light handling wear and some discoloration on verso images clean and complete. Overall very good condition. A large visual record of the Greater Boston street railway service moving through city streets suburbs and terminals. unknown

1918Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original pictorial wrappers. Demy 8vo. (22 x 15 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 59 p., 23 unnumbered b/w plates. Occasionally fading on pages. Otherwise a very good copy. First edition of this extremely rare first science fiction book discusses the biological probability of the possibility of life on planets in the Solar System, with semi-fictional texts, in the light of scientific knowledge at the time of publication. Osman Nuri Eralp was a Turkish veterinarian and microbiologist. Eralp was born in Istanbul in the Ottoman Empire. He completed his university education at "Mekteb-i Tibbiye-i Mülkiye" which was the medical school of Darülfünun [i.e. House of Multiple Sciences, name of Istanbul University in Ottoman era]. To continue studying for a post-graduate qualification, he attended Sorbonne and Pasteur Institute. After graduation, he worked as a veterinarian while continuing his research studies. After the declaration of the Constitutional Regime in 1908, he worked as a full-time academic at Istanbul University and Ankara University. He lectured on histology and embryology. Eralp contributed notably to the field of bacteriology via his research on microorganisms (tuberculosis, anthrax, cholera, syphilis, gonorrhea), and the field of virology by his research on rinderpest. He wrote the first science fiction book in Turkey titled "Baska dünyalarda canli mahlûkât var midir" [i.e. Are there alive creatures in other worlds?]. (Wikipedia).
