The introductory excerpt taken from an official protocol suggests that this volume of bylaws was issued in response to significantly changes at the printing shop of the Imperial Academy of Sciences which was originally founded in 1729. An increasingly complex infrastructure faster presses and greater demand required careful training of new employees and greater standardization of processes. By 1841 the Academy was able to print books and periodicals in 120 languages while also issuing various internal bulletins and publications. The year 1841 also saw the transformation of the Russian Academy into the Imperial Academy of Sciences further necessitating greater codification.<br /> <br /> The first section contains the printing shop's statutes describing its tasks main tools and methods duties of employees rules for keeping accounts dispensing materials security measures the processing of printing orders and proper storage of type among many others. Supplements include charts with information such as a personnel directory ranks and dresscode for workers as well as detailed prices for typesetting and printing orders. This is followed by a separate section of bylaws for the Foundry itself followed by charts containing information such as the required number of type characters for Russian French and German sorted by letter number and weight. Further included are various blank forms for use in keeping accounts personnel records tracking orders and creating reports. A fine-grained glimpse into the workings of an important Russian publisher and foundry in the first half of the nineteenth century as well as a window into bureaucratic and administrative habits at the time.<br /> <br /> Among the works published by the printing house of the Academy were such milestones in Russian scholarship as Mikhail Lomonosov's "Rossiiskaia grammatika" 1755 Aleksandr Sumarokov's "Trudoliubivaia pchela" the "Sankt-Peterburgskie vedomosti" and various dictionaries and scientific journals.

Also accompanied by a 1939 letter from an owner of the ticket to Alabama collector Peter Brannom in whose collection it wound up informing him of its existence. All folded as for mailing but a very good lot of three items. Founded in 1851 the Southern Military Academy operated in Fredonia Chambers County Alabama until "closed by the civil strife of the 1860s." By special act of the Alabama legislature a bill was passed in 1854 providing for a lottery to be held to raise funds for the school. It was a rousing success as all of the tickets were sold and $60000 in prize money was distributed leaving $25000 for the school. The broadsheet is apparently not recorded on OCLC. 1597. <br/><br/> Office of the Southern Military Academy Lottery unknown books

(4), 232, 363pp, demi-basane marbrée à coins, dos à nerfs orné, tranches rouges (reliure de l'époque), L'Académie des sciences de Paris fut créée en 1666 par Colbert, qui réunit un petit groupe de savants deux fois par semaine, dans la bibliothèque du roi. L'Académie reçut ses statuts en 1699, avec le titre d'Académie royale, et fut installée au Louvre. Elle contribua au mouvement scientifique de son temps par ses publications et joua un rôle de conseil auprès du pouvoir. La série des volumes annuels "Histoire de l'Académie royale des sciences", tirés des registres de l'Académie, a été créée par le règlement de 1699. Les années 1666 à 1698 furent compilées plus tardivement, à la fin du 18° siècle. Ces précieux volumes de table, composés par l'abbé Rozier (1734-93), permettent d'effectuer des recherches dans les publications de 1666 à 1770. Qqs restaurations Couverture rigide

17744067Paris: Imprimerie Royale 1774. 8vo 163 x 91 mm. 18 3 3 528 30 3 3 pages. Partly double column. Woodcut and type-ornament head- and tailpieces. Faint marginal discoloration. Contemporary red morocco sides with triple thick and thin ruled border spine in six gold-tooled compartments title lettered in second compartment gilt medallion with monogram of the Ecole Royale Militaire in lower compartment gilt edges Brokatpapier endleaves with semis of gold stars and dots corners bumped. Provenance: modern etched bookplate with initials AK. Only Edition of a complete course of religious instruction for the pupils of the Ecole Royale Militaire founded in 1751 by Louis XV as a military academy for the sons of noble families including those who had sunk into poverty. The book of which only one other copy is recorded was printed and bound for the school. At first two hundred and eventually five hundred teenagers from all over France were admitted on the basis of an exam taken at the end of primary school. The huge expenses entailed by the construction of a magnificent palace to house the school designed by the architext Ange-Jacques Gabriel were covered by a national lottery and by taxes on playing cards. A single cohort graduated before the project ran out of money and although the buildings had been completed in 1787 the academy closed its doors. Pillaged during the Revolution it would not open again for the same purpose for another century. The first part of the book which was approved by and possibly written by Christophe de Beaumont the Archbishop of Paris consists of a primer of the Christian religion. It opens with the Archbishop's rules for the administration of religion in the school. From 6 am masses to near-daily catechisms and energetic prayer sessions to prepare for confession the young future officers were reminded regularly that their duties to God were as important as those to the King. The meticulous scheduling of each day and other casual details testify to the complete control of their lives by the authorities of the academy whose premises they seem never to have left not even on Christmas. An allusion to visits by the religious Directors to students in prison and in the infirmary are further reminders to the modern reader of the harsh conditions of young people's lives when children were viewed as small-sized adults. Including a table of moveable feasts from 1775 to 1793 and a calendar of Saints' days this section provides the basics of religion from the Ten Commandments to instructions on communion on how to conduct oneself at Mass and the ritual itself on examining one's conscience and preparing for confession and so on. While most could apply equally to any student including the repeated exhortations to contemplate one's sins clearly a central concern to these teachers of adolescents a few paragraphs address the special circumstances of soldiers. These include prayers to be recited before battle or after victory instructions on providing absolution to the dying in the absence of an available priest requiring memorization of a rather long passage and finally a prayer for a good death. The second and longer part printed in two columns contains the Offices for Sundays and feast days throughout the year partly in Latin. OCLC locates a single copy at the BnF.
