About this Item

116pp, in original publisher's cloth [stamped in blind, with gilt spine title, chipped at spine ends]. Text lightly toned. Except as noted, Very Good. This was one of the most dramatic of New York City's many fires, explosions, riots, and other disasters. February 4, 1850 in New York was marked "by the explosion of a steam boiler in the building known as Nos. 3 and 5 Hague street, whereby the building was instantaneously and wholly demolished; sixty-seven persons at work at the time therein were killed, and fifty others either severely or slightly injured." This document prints the ceremonies for the dead, including the "funeral of the unrecognized," and the City's efforts to relieve the suffering of widows, orphans, and injured victims. Names of killed and survivors are posted, along with contributors to welfare funds. FIRST EDITION. Sabin 54648. Seller Inventory # 37785
