Massachusetts, an old and prosperous democracy and a safe social order : an address

Address delivered at a dinner at Boston, Mar. 6, 1902, in answer to the toast "Massachusetts." Printed with permission of the author by Frederic and Bertha Goudy on watermarked paper. Bound in blue paper boards. In the letter of permission to Mr. Goudy, Eliot expressed his surprise that anybody would want to pay one dollar for a copy of such a small work. Edition of two hundred and fifty copies by Village Press in Hingham, Massachusetts. In 1903, Frederic Goudy, a former accountant, set up the Village Press in Illinois. Goudy's first press, Camelot Press, had lasted less than a year. The Village Press, however, was successful, and allowed Goudy to continue to design typefaces. By the end of his life, in 1947, Goudy had created one hundred and twenty-four type designs, executing most of them from drawing to casting.
