About this Item

32pp. Original printed green wrappers, stitched. Wrappers slightly soiled. Lightly tanned. Very good. An interesting early argument for a major municipal project. Purkitt forcefully argues for the construction of a ten-foot wide by fifteen-foot high bulkhead along the waterfront of San Francisco Bay. He maintains that such a resource is necessary in order to bring San Francisco's port facilities to world-class standards. Scarce. COWAN, p.504. GREENWOOD 725. ROCQ 11060.
