Anna Scull 1832 - the principal of the Hunter Girls' Grammar School in Philadelphia was accused by several parents of criticizing Catholicism and promoting the Lutheran Reformation during lessons she taught. The present work contains testimonies by parents and students alleging that Scull had "attacked vilified and abused the faith religion and belief" of Catholic students p. 52. She was also accused of vocally favoring Lutheranism in class by discussing Luther's opposition to the sale of indulgences by Pope Leo X p. 59. The Board of the Department of Education ultimately dismissed the case against Scull stating that they could not "recommend such deference to the religious zeal of any denomination or denominations as would prevent the impartial teaching in our public schools of the prominent facts of history" p. 159.</p>

Although issued separately the work was also designed to be included as part of Wallis's 'Bookcase of Knowledge' which comprised ten works on a variety of subjects such as Arithmetic Astronomy Botany Geography History Mythology and Natural History all housed in a custom made miniature wooden bookcase to form a juvenile library.</p><p>'During the 1790s Ellenor Fenn was a force to be reckoned with in the promotion of what might be called home-reading-without-tears. A number of her books from this period mention or advertise boxes of letters and other equipment which were designed to help children learn through play. These experiments culminated in a series of brilliantly conceived "miniature libraries" initiated by her publisher John Marshall. They were sets of tiny books planned around themes and housed in wooden boxes whose lids were made to resemble the front of a bookcase. The first of these was actually the largest gThe Juvenile or Child's Libraryg 1799-1800 but it was quickly followed by the smaller gInfant's Libraryg 1800-1 - sixteen little books in a box - which proved to be the most popular of a whole succession of imitations . Once John Marshall had shown the way other publishers were quick to market alternatives to his Juvenile and Infant's libraries. As might be expected John Wallis with his involvement in maps games puzzles and so on was one of the foremost competitors.'

Small children should have their own and henceforth gThe Infant's Libraryg was conceived designed and produced: John Wallis immediately copied his idea although he chose to issue the books in 1801 apparently without a wooden cabinet at first which was only supplied modelled on Marshall's in 1803.</p> London: Printed for J.

1775JC11027France c. 1775. Hardcover. Very Good. Manuscript on paper in French. Written in brown ink in a neat script with a calligraphic title and headings in clear majuscules. Title page inscribed: Catalogue alphabétique dun grand nombre de mot homonyme de la Langue française; cest-à-dire des mots qui se prononcent ou sécriven de la meme manière ou à-pereprès mais don la signification est differente. Extrait de Dictionnaire de mots homonymes. France: c. 1775. 4to 205 x 170mm. 230pp. recto and verso. Original mottled sheep spine gilt with red morocco label marbled endpapers edges stained red; cover slightly warped spine lightly rubbed with small hole near head otherwise good. Once part of the dictionary collection of Thomas Malin Rodgers Jr. <br/><br/>Descriptions of homonyms were published in books on French grammar since the 17th-century. The issue of disambiguation in the field of semantics or the so-called qualified ambivalences were appointed within this body of knowledge and refined over several years of lexicology study. The first dictionary of homonyms of the French language was the Dictionnaire des mots homonymes de la langue françoise 1775 by Pierre Thomas Nicolas Hurtaut and published in Paris. By the title of this manuscript we can surmise that this manuscript quotes a number of key examples from his publication. This handwritten exercise and the resulting grammar book would have been destined for students in secondary education who at the time were learning the semantics of speech in their native tongue and learning how to write them correctly as homonyms can be quite confusing. Some common French homonyms with the largest variance of meaning are and eau au aux haut os ô pp. 65-67 and ver verre vers vert vair pp. 224-225. The ambiguity of such words was tackled by classifying them into word collections and alphabetical lists all echoed in this careful undertaking. This manuscript dates to a time when there was a distinct emergence of European linguistic terminology and great interest in collecting such recorded knowledge. hardcover
