Item description from seller

Apparently an ad hoc commemorative piece, softcover, approximately 6 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches, consisting of the 3 separate works mentioned in the title, with a tipped-in photo of a statue of Mullen by Albert E Harnisch, with a handwritten notation mentoning that it was shown at the Centennial Exhibition in 1876 (made to appear a bit kitschy by the addition of the ubiquitous cherubs from Raphael's "Assumption" and a few other details from paintings superimposed in the foreground) , a tipped-in engraving by Sartain with just the statue of Mullen, a full page drawing of the House of Industry founded by the Philadelphia Society for the Employment and Instruction of the Poor, an in-text drawing of Mullen, and another of the Church of the Evangelists, all bound into gray paper covers. Very good. Covers are lightly age tanned, 1 inch chip off upper corner of rear cover, several lesser nicks and chips, text lightly age yellowed, with "ghost" of the engraving on the page facing, but otherwise tight, clean, paper crisp and unmarked. William J Mullen was one of the great prison and social reformers of the 19th century, securing the release of thousands who were being held without trial, and a founder and director of the abovementioned Society and poor house. Scarce. Biography; prison reform; sociology; jurisprudence; Victorian; history; Americana.

Description de la boutique

Nestled in a valley in the Endless Mountains, where the temperature can dip below freezing even in mid-June, sits Frost Pocket Farm. While our harvest of organic produce may be subject to the whims of nature, the crop of books is always a good one. The selection is as varied as the interests of its proprietor. A native of NYC, who dissipated his youth and more mature years in used bookstores and reading, as well as earning degrees in history, biology, banking and counseling plus studying 2 years at the University of Paris, he is constantly acquiring quaint and curious volumes, as well as the more mundane, on every imaginable subject. Low overhead means low prices geared towards the trade and the savvy retail client. To the extent possible, we use recycled packaging material (economy and ecology are both dervied from the same Greek root), and all books are shipped in corrugated cardboard. Every attempt is made to accurately describe the books, including their faults, and everything is completely guaranteed! (Sorry, we are strictly mail order, and due to insurance and other concerns cannot accomodate visitors.) On-line booksellers since 1996; ancient for this business!
