1849ref. 36814Philadelphia 1849. Folio large sheet folded to 14" x 22". 4 pp. Partly printed document completed in neat elegant manuscript. Printed on blue paper using decorative and standard typesettings. First page engraved with a beautiful illustration of the Fairmount Waterworks as seen from the west bank of the Schuylkill River; depicting the engine house millhouse mound dam and men fishing from shore.

A rubberstamped receipt of return deposit which has been signed by George W. Quein as executor of Geo. Quein deceased. Old folds several splits partly repaired. Else Very Good. The Fire Association of Philadelphia was founded in September 1817 by a group of eleven volunteer engine companies and five volunteer hose companies. The Association distributed a percentage of its profits to local volunteer companies. Insurance policy holders were required to affix fire marks outside of their building to inform fire brigades that the building was insured and by which company. The F.A. fire mark was extremely popular and an estimated 40000 fire marks were issued during the company's history. The Fire Association operated until 1958 when it merged with the Reliance Insurance Company of Philadelphia. George Quein 1818-1882 owned a grocery business on the corner of 13th and Vine for many years. George W. Tryon 1791-1878 president of the Fire Association of Philadelphia from 1837-1872 had been a maker and seller of firearms was a trustee of the Philadelphia City Savings Institution and vice president of the Philadelphia Association for the Relief of Disabled firemen. William J. Butler 1820-1879 became Secretary to the Company in 1846. unknown books
1877ref. 35307Philadelphia: Published by Wm. Smith. Looking Glass Portrait & Picture Frames of every description 1877. Folio broadside 14" x 17". Printed in three columns: the first an 'Address of Hon. R.T. Conrad'; second 'Fireman's Address. Written at the request of the Association for the Relief of Disabled Firemen' by 'Hon. Robert T. Conrad'; third 'Address of Philip S. White Esq.' Very Good. The ceremony seeks to make amends for Philadelphia's long history of antipathy to Irish Catholics. Conrad had been elected Mayor of Philadelphia on a Know-Nothing platform that capitalized on anti-Irish sentiment. But he says here "Whatever prejudices may have existed in regard to fireman sic have disappeared before the favorable evidence of the past and present conduct and character." Also a poet and writer Conrad composed a poem for the occasion printed in the second column. Praising the Company in column three was a leading temperance advocate Philip S. White. The Hibernia Company was responsible for an area of great "importance": "all the Exchange Post Office and Custom House brokers-- all the printing offices-- all the newspapers of the city. all the steamboat landings-- all the banks save two and nearly all the insurance offices."

1835ref. 30636Boston: David Hooton.Printer.Merchants' Hall 1835. 12pp stitched in contemporary plain yellow wrappers. Title page vignette of the Department dousing a house fire. Very Good plus. This rare Charter of an early mutual aid society evidently located only at the Boston Public Library was established to assist injured Boston firemen who "are liable in the discharge of their duty to many casualties to which citizens generally are not exposed." The pamphlet prints the 1830 Act of the Legislature incorporating the Association; Edward Prescott George Dearborn and Jonathan A. Davis are the named incorporators. The Articles render every Boston fireman eligible for membership. Annual dues are fifty cents. Injured members are barred from negotiating directly with the City Government for financial assistance: that's the job of the Association the names of whose officers are printed at page 12. Thomas C. Amory was President of the Board of Trustees. OCLC 33064696 1- Boston Public 1038097739 also Boston Public as of October 2019. AI 30581 1- Boston Public. Not in Sabin or on AAS's online web site.

1871ref. 38735Chicago 1871. Broadside newspaper extra printed recto only approx. 12 3/4 x 7 1/2 inches. With a matted period hand colored map of Chicago by Rufus Blanchard showing the burnt district. Incredible broadside newspaper extra printed during the Chicago fire. This very rare newspaper extra -- believed to be the only newspaper published in Chicago on that day -- was printed sometime during the afternoon or early evening of Monday October 9. The fire had begun the night prior at approximately 9pm which was according to the paper "caused by a cow kicking over a lamp in a stable in which a woman i.e. Mrs. O'Leary was milking." This unsubstantiated myth blaming a poor Irish Catholic immigrant would persist for decades. The newspaper gives an account of the areas under flame detailing many of the buildings already destroyed including the City Water Works the Armory Gas Works Post Offices newspaper offices court houses breweries churches and more: "The scene of ruin and devastation is beyond power of words to describe. Never in the history of the world has such a scene extended terrible and complete destruction by conflagration been recorded; and never has a more frightful scene of panic distress and horror been witnessed among a helpless sorrowing suffering population." The damage to the city would prove extraordinary: the fire killed approximately 300 people burned roughly 3.3 square miles of the central portion of the city destroyed over 17000 buildings and left more than 100000 residents homeless about one third of the population. The final paragraph of the extra notes the exigencies caused by the fire of printing the paper on a borrowed press: "We are under great obligation to the Interior Printing Company 15 and 18 Canal street for accomodations by which are are enabled to issue this extra." OCLC cites but three extant examples Newberry Library i.e. the Graff copy Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Knox College; an additional example is located at the Chicago History Museum.

1715ref. WRCAM39781London 1715. Broadside 11 1/2 x 7 3/4 inches. Dbd. Early folds and early stab holes in left margin. Some foxing. Very good. A rare leaflet lobbying Parliament on behalf of British merchants who had recently lost £22500 worth of sugar ginger oil and sarsaparilla in a great fire. The merchants had just recently imported the goods paying approximately £3000 in customs. In the present document the merchants petition the House of Commons to allow them to import goods duty-free up to the value of the customs of the goods destroyed.
