190017909<p>Springfield MA: Milton Bradley Co. n.d. ca. 1900-1910 Described in their 1907 catalog: "A new assortment of popular Kindergarten material. It contains colored sewing cards perforated cards two cards two Toy Knitters with needles colored worstels etc. All put up in an attractive box covered with red leather paper printed in gilt. This is one of the best assortments we have ever put up for the money." . 10 x 13 in. box with instructions printed under lid. . . Contains three color litho plates labeled A-1 through A-3 one "Toy Knitter" with needle five worstels six large perforated cards one sewn and six large sewing cards four sewn. Box with a variety of repairs from electrical tape to sewn corners. Lacking the second "Toy Knitter." Milton Bradley 1836-1911 published the first American book on the kindergarten Paradise of Childhood in 1869 and soon began producing toys teaching kits kindergarten manuals newsletters and children's books. He is largely responsible for popularizing Froebel Gifts a movement of teaching toys originating in Germany and board games in America. Numerous publishers followed Bradley's suit in the latter nineteenth century. These publications and products came in the wake of milestones like the first English-language kindergarten in the United States which was founded by Elizabeth Palmer Peabody 1804 – 1894 in Boston in 1860. Bradley's eponymous business enterprise would outlive him by some seven decades before eventually being bought by Hasbro in 1984.</p> Milton Bradley Co., hardcover

First Bradley frankly acknowledged that 'the extracts have been taken from Webster Wood Picket Alden Bingham Flint Murray Hubbard Fordyce Walker the American Gentleman's Pronouncing Dictionary Dr. Johnson Dr. Morse and Dr. Blair all authors of spellers.'

In the preface to Appearance and Reality he describes the work as a 'critical discussion of first principles' intended to provoke inquiry and doubt. While his followers had expected a defence of religious truths Bradley instead contended that although reality is spiritual a full demonstration of this concept is beyond human comprehension due to the abstract nature of thought. 'Instead of ideas which could not properly contain reality he recommended feeling the immediacy of which could embrace the harmonious nature of reality' Britannica.T.S. Eliot whose unpresented doctoral thesis at Harvard was concerned with Bradley it was eventually published in 1964 as Knowledge and Experience in the Philosophy of F.H. Bradley cites the philosopher in the notes to The Waste Land.Provenance: This copy belonged to Spenser Farquharson likely Arthur Spencer Loat Farquharson 1871-1942 the British classicist translator and Dean of University College Oxford. By around 1949 the volumes had passed into the library of John Sparrow 1906-1992 the British academic barrister book collector and Warden of All Souls College Oxford. hardcover

1803637M31London: Printed for R. Phillips 1803-1806. Leather. Very Good. 8.5" by 6". Various. Two very scarce copies of volume IX and XV of the fascinating 'Medical and Physical Journal'; reportedly used at a British Military Hospital in the village of So Pedro de Rio Seco during the Peninsular War of 1807 to 1814. 'The Medical and Physical Journal' was first published in 1799 and contained accounts of current events in medicine brief book reviews and numerous essays on surgery pharmacy chemistry and natural history. This two volume set contains Vol IX January to June 1803 and Vol XV January to June 1806; exploring such fascinating topics as yellow fever leprosy influenza Vol IX and inoculation hydrophobia and medical reform vol XV to name a few. Volume IX collated complete with four pages of plates one of which is coloured and folding. The plate of 'Dr. Clarke's newly-invented Surgical Instruments' has been rebound facing page 9. Volume XV is also collated complete with four pages of plates one of which is coloured. This work has been rebound by Colin Yorke of Weston-Super-Mare in 2016 in an attractive half polished calf binding with marbled paper boards. Volume XV features a tipped-in slip to the front free-endpaper by Yorke recalling his purchase of this work 'in a market stall in Almeida Portugal in 1999' and the original discovery of the volumes at a house clearance in the nearby village of So Pedro de Rio Seco on the Portuguese-Spanish Border. This slip goes on to detail Yorke's belief that the works were originally used at a British Military Hospital in the village during the Peninsular War and his theory that the work was accidentally left behind by a British medical officer when the hospital was abandoned in November 1812. This incredibly interesting theory is also reproduced on a loosely inserted booklet by York with accompanying photo-copied material that support his findings. Rebound in a half polished calf binding with marbled paper boards. Externally lovely with only very minor handling marks to spines. Tipped-in slip to front free-endpaper volume XV. Internally firmly bound. Pages age toned with the odd spot and handling mark to the occasional page. Small closed tear to fore edge of folding plate facing page 489 volume IX.
