Wheildon, Wm. W. SEMI-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION OF THE OPENING OF FANEUIL HALL 
MARKET AUGUST 26, 1876, WITH A HISTORY OF THE MARKET.

Boston; L.F. Lawrence & Co.: 1877.

The 50th Anniversary festivities of Faneuil Hall Market. Opened in 1826 as 
a marketplace for "general traffic in the products of the farm, the cattle 
yard, the dairy and the orchard", it is still going strong today, even if 
it is now more of a tourist attraction than it was in 1876. This book 
describes the festivities, speeches, menu, proceedings and such, as well as 
giving a history of the building and early development of the marketplace. 
OCLC locates 12 copies.

Hardcover. 6.75"x8.5", 102 pages, albumen print frontispiece; nicely 
printed, with decorative red frames around the text on each page, and 
several black initial letters and tailpieces. Rebound in red buckram, new 
endpapers; apparently ex-institutional with a paper label on the cover, but 
no other markings; light internal soil, light wear. [06454] $85.00
