21177. Racine, Frank M., NOTES ON THE MEDALS AND AWARDS OF THE MASSACHUSETTS HUMANE SOCIETY. nd. c.1977. 70p. Spiral bound. The Massachusetts Humane Society was organized in 1787 and is generally considered to be the predecessor to the U. S. Life-Saving Service. Many of the society’s manuscript records were destroyed in the Boston Fire of 1872, making any information quite scarce and desirable. In addition, information on awards and medals awarded by the Society is extremely scarce. This manuscript written some years ago by Mr. Racine touches this subject as none before have done. Medals in various designs have been issued by the Society since 1789 but numerous questions persist as to the various designs and variations, the reasons for certain medals such as the Trustee Medals, and more. Included are the Dissertation Medals, Trustees’ Medals, the Centennial Cup, Gols Handmade Award Medals, Silver Handmade Medals, , Silverplate awards, Wyon shipwreck medals, and more. This is a most interesting look at the subject and a must for anyone interested in life-saving awards. $19.
