Title: Villages of Abington, Brant Rock and Green Harbor, Town of Marshfield, Plymouth Co. Mass
Creator: Howland, Charles W.
Seller: James Arsenault & Company (United States)
Description: Marshfield, Mass., Sept. 25th, 1879. Manuscript map in black ink with watercolor wash, 19.125" x 12.5" plus margins. A skillfully drawn manuscript map, which appears to have been compiled for an official purpose, but does not appear to have been published. This map focuses on the waterfront villages of Marshfield, Massachusetts, a town perhaps best known as the home of Daniel Webster, whose house in Green Harbor Village is identified. While the exact purpose of the map is unstated, it would seem to relate to improvements and proposed improvements to the system of roads. Green Harbor Avenue, which extends across Green Harbor River connecting the village with Ocean Avenue and the Massachusetts Bay waterfront, bears a note indicating that it was built in 1879-the year this map was drawn. Perhaps more notably, the map shows a proposed bridge road extending from the oceanfront below Brant Rock Village, across the peninsula and Green Harbor to Webster's Dock, in Green Harbor Village. This proposal, which came to naught, seems to have been the raison d'être for the map, which was likely used by those who had it drafted in their attempt to build support for the scheme. Other features of the map include the numerous public and private buildings in each village-as well as some in more peripheral zones-many of which are identified. Among these are the aforementioned Daniel Webster house, as well as numerous hotels, and life-saving station No. 26 of the Massachusetts Humane Society, located near Blue Fish Rock. The extensive salt marshes for which Marshfield is named are carefully drawn and highlighted in green wash. OCLC records just one map by Charles W. Howland, his Map of the Town of Abington Plymouth County, Mass., Boston, J. Mayer & Co., 1873 (as well as an 1874 issue), a town located to the west of the region depicted in the present map, and not to be confused with the Village of Abington. An apparently unique map reflecting Marshfield's state of development in the late nineteenth century. CONDITION: Very good, old fold marks, a bit of light damp-staining and soiling.

Title: Our Economic Sickness : A Series of Pulpit Editorials
Author: Kirk, Albert Emmanuel
Seller: Underground Books, ABAA (United States)
Condition: Very good
Description: Boston: The Christopher Publishing House, 1934. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/very good. First Edition. Hardcover. 8.25" x 5.5". First edition, presentation copy,signed and inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper: "To R.G. Anderson, compliments, Albert E. Kirk." A remarkable work of Depression-era Social Gospel radicalism. Kirk, a Methodist Episcopal minister in Sterling, Kansas, delivered these fifteen essays as successive Sunday evening pulpit editorials, each followed by a sermon. The result is one of the more intellectually adventurous works of American religious political economy from the period. Kirk diagnoses the Depression not as a business failure but as a financial and structural one, marshaling heterodox authorities - Kropotkin on the economics of abundance, Henry George on the wedge of concentrated wealth, Thomas Carlyle on the passage from class competition to human brotherhood - in service of a thoroughgoing critique of laissez-faire capitalism delivered from a prairie pulpit. Part One (Diagnosis) identifies nine systemic factors: surplus production paradoxically coexisting with mass want; unprecedented concentration of wealth; structural unemployment; chaos in the money-credit system; unjust business manipulations including tax-free securities and wage suppression; enslaving debt at every level from tenant farming to federal government; governmental confusion; a tragic conflict between Christian ideals of cooperation and the competitive economic order; and the consequent deterioration of human welfare. Part Two (Remedial Suggestions) calls for clarifying government's role, stopping unjust manipulations, stabilizing the credit system, nationally planning industry, and - most strikingly - democratizing industry itself, giving workers a voice, a share of burdens, and participation in rewards. Kirk cites Kropotkin's Mutual Aid-era argument that scarcity is no longer nature's condition but a manufactured one, uses Henry George's imagery of a wedge driving humanity into deeper poverty, quotes Carlyle's vision of passing from class competition to human brotherhood, and endorses Roosevelt's New Deal as an "epochal" if incomplete recognition of what planning requires. His concluding word frames America's failure to close the gap between Christian brotherhood and competitive capitalism as the defining moral crisis of the age. Dedicated to the congregation of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Sterling, Kansas. Dark tan dust jacket with light chipping and edgewear. Red cloth boards with gilt lettering to upper board. Contents overall bright and clean, with substantial offsetting to pages 24-25 where some prior sheet must have been left. Very good book in very good jacket. Limited number of institutional holdings recorded in OCLC; scarce in the trade.
