The introduction to the combined work compiled under the direction of Malcolm Fraser the WA Surveyor General has this to say: 'In compliance with your instructions and so far as the information and means at my command allowed I have collected in a general way such information about our timber Forests as was available to me and I have endeavoured to weave this together somewhat in a connected form. By including the valuable Report on the Forest Resources of Western Australia by Baron Ferd. von Mueller it will be brought more prominently before the public than it has hitherto been. the drawings give a very fair idea of the character of the Jarrah and Karri forests'.

[Western Baptist Theological Institute] [Education] [Religion]Biblio.com

First Annual Report of the Western Theological Institute of Covington Kentucky. May 1 1843

184333589Cincinnati: E. Morgan and Company Printers 1843. First Edition. Wraps. Good. Wraps. 22 pages. Yellow covers with printed title on the front wrap. Ex-institutional copy from the Western Reserve Historical Society with an embossed stamp on the title page. "Withdrawn" written in black over the stamp. Light soiling to the covers. Some margin marks in the text. A good copy. Scarce. 3 copies located in OCLC. Despite an excellent start the Western Baptist Theological Institute proved very fragile. The institute was established to serve western Baptist both those from the north and the south. The issue of slavery however divided the western Baptists from the very founding. Reverend Patterson the instituteâ€™s president also served on the National Board of Foreign Missions. This board published a number of articles indicating that slavery should not be tolerated in the Baptist faith. This association between Patterson and abolitionism caused much concern among the institutes southern trustees and students. On May 8 1845 Baptists delegates from the southern states met in Augusta Georgia and formally established the Southern Baptist Convention. This split would have grave consequences for the Western Baptist Theological Institute. Several southern members of the board of trustees asked Dr. Patterson to publicly state his opinions on abolitionism. He refused to do so. Instead Patterson left Covington and was replaced by Dr. S.W. Lynd. In 1848 a southern member of the board introduced a resolution that spoke of slavery as divinely inspired. The resolution was defeated. The four southern board members who voted for the resolution were undaunted. These members without consent of the rest of the board lobbied for the passage of a bill at the Kentucky General Assembly in Frankfort. The bill called for the appointment of 16 new members to the Board of the Western Baptist Theological Institute. In addition all future trustees were required to be Kentucky citizens. The bill became law. The northern members of the board were stunned by this obvious attempt to take control of the institute. They were particularly angry because most of the funds that had donated to the institute were donated by northerners and because most of the students were from the north. The northern members of the board fought to strike down the new law. Eventually the Kenton Court of Appeals declared the law null and void. The abolitionist controversy and the split between factions on the board took its toll on the institute. Donations plummeted along with the student enrollment. In 1855 the board decided to close the Western Baptist Theological Institute. Both factions agreed to a sale of all the property with the proceeds being divided equally. In August 1855 the Main building of the institute was sold to W. Scott. Mr. Scott operated a small female college and preparatory school in the building for several years. During the Civil War the hospital was utilized as a convalescent hospital for wounded Union soldiers. In 1867 the building was purchased by the Sisters of the Poor of St. Francis. The sisters relocated their St. Elizabeth Hospital to the site. St. Elizabeth Hospital occupied the building until 1914 when the current hospital was completed. In 1916 the main building of the Western Baptist Theological Institute was razed and Wadsworth Electric Company was built on the site.

Delightful Group Portrait of Young Women in a Charming Tableau Vivant

18957741Butte Montana: Genelli Studio N.D. Circa 1895. First Edition First Printing. Original Photograph on Mount. Original gelatin silver photograph measuring 13.25" x 10.5" mounted on its original heavy card-stock frame to an overall size of 13.75" x 10.75". An utterly charming and highly uncommon group portrait capturing ninteen young women dressed uniformly in flowing white gowns some adorned with sashes and bows. In contrast to the often rigid and sombre studio portraits typical of the period the image is remarkable for the subjects' relaxed candid and cheerful poses and expressions. Their choice of attire - resembling Victorian lingerie dresses - strongly suggests the group was gathered for a specific collective event such as a tableau vivant a theatrical production a society pageant or perhaps a graduation ceremony. Bears the stylized imprint of the prominent Western photography firm "Genelli" to the lower-left margin alongside a full studio stamp to the verso reading "Genelli 122 North Main St. Butte Montana." accompanied with a contemporary manuscript ink annotation also to the verso which suggests the era "about 1895" a location of provenance "Portage la Prairie" and a subject "Aunt Frank"'. Captured and produced by the American photography firm Genelli Studio a prestigious high-end franchise known for their artistic portraiture sophisticated lighting techniques and use of elaborate theatrical backdrops beautifully exemplified by the rich drapery and wainscoting apparent in the background of this lovely image. Exceptionally well-preserved retaining excellent clarity sharp focus and tonal range showing only but minor typical silvering to the darker areas and a few largely unobtrusive minor spots to the centre; Original mount remains sound showing some moderate edgewear slight rounding and minor delamination to the corners. Overall very good. Thoroughly lovely and charming. Rare. Genelli Studio unknown
