19082638Point Barrow Nuvuk Alaska 1908. Archive of Pt. Barrow Nuvuk Alaska Glass Plate Negatives--217 Plates 4 x 5 inches 1899-1908<br /> <br /> Amazing and enlightening collection of mostly unrecorded original 4 x 5-inch glass plate negatives believed to have been photographed by Presbyterian missionary Reverand Samuel Spriggs. The Alaska State Library holds a collection of 63 Samuel Spriggs lantern slides of which we found 25 matches from our collection to the known Spriggs slides at the State Library. This collection represents original Spriggs photos. We find no other collections or archives of Spriggs plates or prints making this a remarkable first-person documentation of life of the Inupiat people at the turn of the 20th century.<br /> <br /> Samuel R. Spriggs along with his wife and young son served at the Pt. Barrow Presbyterian Mission from 1899-1908. When Rev. Spriggs first came to Barrow he taught school with M. Leander Stevenson the first missionary in Barrow. He learned Inupiat quickly and was soon preaching in their language. He is fondly remembered among the locals for his ability to squat on the floor eat and converse with Inupiaq men. The mission located at the juncture of the Beaufort and Chukchi Sea was an important one for the Presbyterian Church. During the time of Spriggs' tenure Inupiat Eskimos lived a subsistence lifestyle and reindeer had only recently been introduced.<br /> <br /> This collection reflects the unique subsistence lifestyle of the people of Barrow Utqiagvik and Pt. Barrow Nuvuk and the change introduced by Presbyterian mission activities. Many of the photographs relate to Inupiaq traditional activities such as whaling preparation for hunting butchering and celebration. Several views show the building of an umiaq or traditional boat.<br /> <br /> In addition to whale butchering we have photos of successful Polar Bear hunts and seal hunts along with drying racks for hides and meat. <br /> <br /> Some of the most striking images are portraits of families and students. The interior images reflect an ease or comfort between the Inupiat and Reverand Spriggs with several photographs showing smiles or hints of smiles from the subjects. The Inupiat were mostly wearing their native clothing in these portraits but several photos show young women wearing imported calico and stripped dresses.<br /> <br /> One particularly striking portrait shows 18 Inupiat standing or kneeling surrounding the seated and proud matriarch.<br /> <br /> Interestingly there are a couple photos of apparent aerial views of large groups of natives likely photographed from the mast of a ship. There are also images of masted ships offshore. United States Revenue Cutters made frequent visits to Barrow as did whaling vessels. <br /> <br /> The Presbyterian Mission at Point Barrow was founded in 1890 by Sheldon Jackson. One interior photo lists Jackson's name on a plaque. Jackson would play a major role in the early 1890's with the introduction of reindeer to the Northern Slope. There are two reindeer photos; one with a halter and a second of a native milking the reindeer.<br /> <br /> The introduction of domestic reindeer to Point Barrow was part of a broader effort to establish reindeer husbandry in Alaska. Dr. Sheldon Jackson played a significant role in this initiative promoting the importation of reindeer from Russia to help the Inupiaq people who were facing food shortages due to over-hunting. Jackson raised funds to purchase the first reindeer and established the Teller Reindeer Station where skilled reindeer herders were brought to teach the local population about reindeer herding. This program aimed to provide a sustainable food source and improve the livelihoods of the indigenous people in the region. U.S. Department of Education paper<br /> <br /> We see images of native dwellings and caches plus stick built missionary buildings along with a view of the Mission Church. Includes a striking image of three men and young child working on the frame of a boat enclosed within a structure with ice walls and canvas ceiling. <br /> <br /> The Spriggs family is well represented in images with their son featured in at least 10 images along with a few photographs of the Reverand and Mrs. Spriggs eating or relaxing in their home or posing outside a house. <br /> <br /> Collection of plates varies from fair to very good condition. One plate is cracked. Most have emulsion deterioration along edges but none have flaking or peeling emulsion. Some surface soiling and minor scratching. All are in modern sleeves. <br /> <br /> The photography is generally good. The indoor portraits are well composed of proper exposure. Some of the exterior images are remarkably sharp and detailed but as one would presume the harsh conditions limited quality. A small handful are unusable but they are the exception. We have scanned about 150 of the 217 images. Those not scanned were either similar portrait images although not duplicates but valuable to the collection while others were vastly overexposed or simply poor quality. See scans. A note on the scans. Plates were photographed on a light table and converted digitally into positives. This process on a number of scans shows reflections and unnatural lighting artifacts which are not on the actual plates. <br /> <br /> Much of the information above is from the Alaska State Library.<br /> <br /> Provenance: Acquired through a New England based auction house via a colleague in New York. We have no further information regarding provenance.<br /> <br /> Link to the photo collection: https://andy-nettell.smugmug.com/Gallery-42826-101-PM<br /> <br /> Due to fragile nature and weight of collection a $75 shipping surcharge will be added to the cost of collection.

17700012203England: 18th Century Religious Sermons Early Typography Manuscript Christian. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1770. Hardcover. On offer is a beautiful hard-bound collection of sermons written by many prominent religious scholars of the time dating from late 18th century England and curated by the Reverend Dr. John Trusler 1735-1820. The book is a collection of sermons and homilies. They include homilies with such titles as On domestic Happiness The notice of the World a motive to virtue The Advantage of Public or Private Calamities On partaking of other men's Sins and more. The collection belonged to William Armstrong whose name appears on the front flyleaf. However our informal research has not found any additional information about him. From some notes made in the book this volume was used in 1770-1771. Curated by Rev John Trusler the sermons are printed with beautiful early typography intended to mimic manuscript font. This was a part of Truslers lucrative scheme in which he proposed printing sermons in script type to imitate handwriting and then sell them to clergymen who did not want to write their own sermons. Each sermon is credited to their original author at the end. Included sermons are credited to Baptist minister James Foster 1697-1753 British Unitarian minister William Enfield 1741-1797 Anglican clergyman Laurence Sterne Archbisop of Canterbury William Wake 1657-1737 and Bishop of Chichester Thomas Manningham 1651 -1722. A few sermons are listed as compiled and some are not credited but include additional notes and annotations from the collections curator Rev John Trusler. Trusler has signed his name in ink at the end of many of the sermons. This book is an example of Dr. Truslers early attempts at establishing a printing and bookselling business. In 1769 Trusler sent circulars to every parish in England and Ireland proposing to print in script type in imitation of handwriting about a hundred and fifty sermons at the price of one shilling each to save the clergy both study and the trouble of transcribing Wikipedia. This collection of sermons therefore seems to be an example of Truslers sermon curation peppered with his own additions and notes some in the form of small attached pages others in the form of full pages of manuscript notes. Before becoming a printer and bookseller Trusler took his holy orders and became a priest in 1759 rising through the ranks of British clergy work. He also worked as a lecturer eventually establishing an academic academy only to give it up when it was not lucrative and move on to medical school at Leyden University. While his name does not appear in their catalogue of graduates he did assume the title of doctor. In the end his most lucrative undertaking was his sermon sales and publishing business in which he published many books including his own memoir. This absolutely remarkable unique relic of 18th century British Christian history and early typography would be a sensational asset to any library and the sermons contained within provide an excellent window into the religious/moral thinking of the day as preached in Christian congregations in England Interesting to note one single annotated page of a sermon contained in this book in the same typescript sold for 1500 British pounds through Forum Auctions in September of 2021. The volume measures approximately 8.5 inches by 5.5 inches and contains 100 pages. The hard covers although stained are in good condition. The pages are all in excellent condition save for one page with some rips and tears. Both the typography and handwriting is not only clear but beautifully done. The title Sermons M. S is stamped on the spine. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 100 pages; Signed by Author . 18th Century Religious Sermons Early Typography Manuscript Christian hardcover
184942915New York: John James Audubon 1849. First edition hand-colored lithograph by John T. Bowen of Philadelphia after John James Audubon. An iconic image of Western Americana from the folio first edition of Audubon's "Quadrupeds of North America" the greatest work of natural history illustration produced in America during the nineteenth century: "As long as our civilization lasts America will be in debt to this genius." Peterson<br/> <br/> This fine plate is from the folio edition of Audubon's The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America which was produced entirely in the United States. The work was Audubon's last and by 1846 he had to hand over the drawing of the final fifty plates to his sons John Woodhouse and Victor Audubon. The production of the Quadrupeds was begun by Audubon and his sons at about the same time as the commercially-successful octavo edition of The Birds of America. Unlike the double-elephant folio the Quadrupeds was produced entirely in the United States. Reese notes that "By 1843 the Audubon family business was a well-oiled machine involving John James his two sons and various in-laws and friends. The octavo Birds was still in production when Bowen began to produce the plates for the folio edition of the Quadrupeds the largest successful color-plate book project of 19th-century America. It took the family five years to publish 150 plates in thirty parts. The massive project was a commercial success thanks to the close management of Victor. There were about three hundred subscribers." Reese Like Birds of America the Viviparous Quadrupeds was intended to be a comprehensive visual catalog of North America animalia with Audubon's focus here shifting from birds to four-legged land mammals. Accompanying each image was correlating didactic text written primarily by Bachman that informed the reader of the animal's habits diet habitat and gestational period. Totaling 150 prints the project was rushed to completion as Audubon's health declined. Emerging in the shadow of its acclaimed predecessor Birds of America the Viviparous Quadrupeds has not received the adequate attention nor recognition it so richly deserves. This image is of a family of American buffalo the most iconic animal indigenous to North America whose presence was integral for Native American life and whose near-extinction spurred on the conservation movement in the US. The buffalo is today the state animal of Kansas Oklahoma and Wyoming.<br/> <br/> Bennett p.5. Peterson Birds of America passim. Reese Stamped with a National Character 36. Sabin 2367. Wood p.209.

48557Rome : F. Corbelletti 1627. Duodecimo early vellum lettered in manuscript on spine ex libris label of H. P. Kraus to from pastedown pp. 40 a fine copy. Antonio de Andrade Portuguese member of the Society of Jesus was dispatched to India in 1600 where he would spend over twenty years in sevice including as head of the Jesuit Mission in Agra. In 1624 along with brother Manuel Marques he disguised himself as a Hindu and joined a group of pilgrims to travel to Srinigar and cross the Mana Pass into Tibet. Andrade and Marques were the first Europeans to set foot in the Himalayan kingdom. Andrade returned to Tibet in 1625 to establish a Jesuit mission at Tsaparang in the kingdom of Guge. He succeeded in building a church but the mission was short-lived: a Ladakhi invasion toppled the Jesuit-friendly king and by 1640 the mission was abandoned. The first edition of Nvevo descvbrimiento was published in Portuguese in Lisbon in 1626; later the same year an edition in Spanish also appeared in Lisbon. The edition we offer here is the first Italian edition of Andrade's relation of his first journey into Tibet. Andrade's letter would go on to be translated into many European languages and become a lasting and influential work in the field of Tibetan studies. Provenance : H.P. Kraus New York acquired circa 1980s. The last copy recorded at auction was Sotheby's 1992 GBP 2000.  hardcover
19080001530CINCINNATI OHIO OH. Good. 1908. On offer is an interesting very detailed archive of 18 original manuscript diaries handwritten by Cincinnati Ohio Reverend Charles G. Reade a man who is consumed by his visits with the poor the grieving the orphaned and needy. Educated prolific and meticulous he rarely misses a day right up until the end of his life. The 18 volumes are dated between 1908 and 1940 with 1915-1918 conspicuously absent and perhaps due to chaplain service in the military. Very detailed there are accounts of visits to the homes of those who've died from influenza and scarlet fever every visit records names and addresses and every restaurant visited. There are also travels recorded including Toronto and Detroit. The Reverend also records weather for every day but most importantly we learn of this pious dedicated man's every good deed every sermon and collector's and historians of the Cincinnati area is a detailed picture of Depression era and pre-World War II Ohio. It is apparent right from the early years that this man is unbelievably tireless in his devotion to the church and community. After the first years there is scarcely a day that passes in which he does not record going out into the community to lead sermons and teachings attend or preside at funerals marriages births and baptisms. When he writes "in office" or "at desk" one almost gets the feeling that there's a lot of guilt in it. Here are some snippets: January 31 1910: "Read Morning Prayer at 9. Taught 4th & 5th grades. Gave help to __ __. He has a job. Unpacked 100p. books & 100 hymnals belonging to city Mission Society. After lunch had funeral of Mrs Clara Hall at Central & 7th & Wesleyan Cemetery. She was probably murdered. Called on Kountz a patient from City Hospital at 3563 Colerain Ave. Paralyzed. Has wife &2 children." Excerpt from Tuesday October 22 1929: "President Hoover's visit to city. At desk in a.m. Wrote several letters. had burial services for Augeust Miller aged 53 died Sunday oct 20. Had been in Longview Hospital a long time." Finally on December 23 1940 Reverend Reade wrote his last entry: "Went to Dr Stewart Hagan's in taxi with Mrs Schreiber. Mr Henry G Mather took me -- taxi $15. Mr & Mrs Gentry & Robert called on us. They are going to Atlanta Ga. Gave $1 to colored clergyman. Talked to Lewis at Marietta O." Then on December 24 1940 Christmas Eve there is a single entry noting Eternal Rest and signed by his son Lewis Reade. Each book is a standard dated yearbook and were in different formats by years; the smallest format is about 3.5 by 6 inches and the largest is about 4.25 by 7 inches. Overall G. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES: One learns from one annual: "Rev. Chas. G. Reade" he was born September 18 1865 and he "took charge" of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Cincinnati in 1921. His family originated from the UK he was married to a woman named Nora who returned to England in her last years and had at least two younger brothers who were also reverends in England. He lived to the ripe old age of 75 and kept his journals faithfully right up to the day he passed away.

Esteve preso acusado de ser um espião português mas acabou por conseguir a liberdade por influência do Rei de Cândia Vimaladharmasuriya II que apesar de budista se tornou seu amigo. Durante a epidemia de varÃola de 1697 realizou um excepcional trabalho de assistência aos enfermos e de melhoria das condições sanitárias. Aprendeu a falar cingalês e tamil que falava com muita elegância e energia. Como eram as lÃnguas dos dois grupos étnicos rivais da ilha essa capacidade tornou-o um sÃmbolo de tolerância. A sua obra de evangelização afirmou definitivamente o catolicismo no Sri Lanka e deixou marcas no panorama linguÃstico da ilha onde ainda hoje existem crioulos de origem portuguesa.</p>_x000d_<p>Foi beatificado pelo Papa João Paulo II em 21 de Janeiro de 1995 e canonizado pelo Papa Francisco em 14 de Janeiro de 2015.

He studied humanities philosophy and theology with the Jesuits in Goa. He was ordained a priest in 1676 and distinguished himself as a spiritual director becoming confessor to D. Rodrigo da Costa Governor of India. In 1681 he was appointed superior of the Canará Missions where he was very active restoring the church of Mangalor and building the churches of Barcelor Gangalim and Calianapor all in honour of the Virgin Mary. In 1686 he joined the Congregation of the Oratory of St Philip of Nery formed exclusively of native clerics.</p>_x000d_<p>In 1687 he travelled to the island of Ceylon where he landed in disguise in the city of Jaffna and began to provide spiritual assistance clandestinely to Catholics persecuted by the VOC <em>Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie / Dutch East India Company</em> which had expelled the Portuguese from the island in 1658. He was imprisoned on charges of being a Portuguese spy but was eventually released through the influence of the King of Candia Vimaladharmasuriya II who although a Buddhist became his friend. During the smallpox epidemic of 1697 he did an exceptional job of caring for the sick and improving sanitary conditions. He learnt to speak Sinhalese and Tamil which he spoke with great elegance and energy. As they were the languages of the two rival ethnic groups on the island this ability made him a symbol of tolerance. His work of evangelisation definitively affirmed Catholicism in Sri Lanka and left its mark on the linguistic landscape of the island where Creoles of Portuguese origin still exist today.</p>_x000d_<p>He was beatified by Pope John Paul II on 21 January 1995 and canonised by Pope Francis on 14 January 2015.

18240009038MANCHESTER UK ROTTERDAM HAGUE NETHERLANDS HOLLAND. Good. 1824. On offer is a short but fascinating travel book of one wealthy young Englishmans journey to Rotterdam and The Hague Holland in 1824. It is a unique and rare look at the travel of English aristocracy in the first half of the 19th century the last great age of the English landed gentry. The book is 30 pages in length of which writing is on every single page. Every page is filled with excursions observations and examples of lavish living for William Money his father and his cousin as they travel first to Rotterdam and then spend over a month in The Hague living at quite a fancy hotel exploring the city itself and taking day trips to landmarks around the country. The little book also includes descriptions of lavish dinners and days being waited on driven and doted on by servants and friends. It begins in the Summer 1824: June 25 1824. To commence my narrative I will give a short account of the two last days before our embarkation to Holland. I went to bed rather late on Sunday and was very tired. I had been running about Town the whole day had my teeth filed By the abominable dentist which is one of the Miserries of human life. My head was distracted in short I was a picture of misery.; June 26. The servants awoke me rather early this morning about five OClock however I was much refreshed and went to work like one who had done nothing but I forgot to state that I went to dine at a Gentlemans house on Friday and after all when I came home I had to prepare my things for Holland. Well to go on with my story we get off from No. 9 Manchester Street Manchester Square at 6 oclock this was Saturday morning June 26th 1824 our Party consisted of three my precious Father my cousin and myself. We had a gentleman's carriage to take us about town and a hackney coach to carry our luggage to the Tower that place which has executed French of the greatest and has been destroyed with Royal blood by the hoards of unnatural rebellion. The next day they are on a sailboat going from the East Coast of England and then landing in the Netherlands the next day: June 27th. Went on deck. I was expecting to see nothing but blue skies and the watery ocean but was pleasantly astonished at seeing land all around. This was lacey land I Know it by that name because the Dutch gobble so. We soon got into the river Maas after a fine voyage. We then eat our hearty breakfast.We here took up a pistol and tacked along at a fine rate saw plenty of Tony-legged bison which they called Storks. We got to Rotterdam at 12. From the instant of arrival Money is taken aback by how clean and orderly the Dutch cities are and how kind and lovely the Dutch people are as well. The layout of the cities with the canals and bridges also is commented on quite frequently. June 28th1824. We took Breakfast at Home. we went out with with and enjoyed the town. It is an elegant clean looking place. Trees shaded the walk from the burning sun and canals divide the Principal Streets. However we saw nothing no hous as they call it but came home to dinner at 4. Here we had a bottle of Mousel for dinner we went out again so that I was very tired we then came home and had tea at Mr. Mackplats where we had another Prayer and a delightful conversation. He accompanied us home where I soon got to bed and fast asleep.; After two days in Rotterdam it is off to the Hague where Money and his father and cousin will spend the rest of their time in Holland. Drove off to the Hague with which Place we are most highly delighted. I the beauty of it. It far surpassed my places that I have seen. We walked everywhere the People the PLace and all are so clean. We came to the Hotel de Belle where we have so very nice rooms that had attendance the man who drove us here cheated as that. We were not long here before . Of the gentleman who got these rooms for Papa he took us out to Table d`ote d`hotewhere we dined . This was 4 oclock and had an excellent dinner and a bottle of vin ordinaire called Bordeau.after dinner we went to Mr. Ls house to get him to show us the Place. He showed us everything in the wood.` The `wood` is most probably the Haagse Bos a rectangular neighbourhood and forest in the Haagse Hout district of The Hague Netherlands. This was simply called Die Hout The Woods Mr. L.made a capital bargain with the man only one Golden to go to that sweet Ducking Place the old man of the Place has fishing boats to go over to England for something or other. We came back after a good bathe.We then came home and prepared for dinner and went to Table Doht d`hote and after that we came back and then went to the Wood where we had tea.; After early June there are no entries until late July. July 23 1824. We got up at seven and had breakfast. We set off at 8 in a caravan with Mr. London and Mr. Tosc. We reached Leyden at 9 very much interested.We first went to the University where we saw all of plenty Indians what from all parts of the globe. We saw there a tree which was brought from Egypt in 1573 just about the time when Leyden was besieged. It was made a present by William the first and planted there We then went to the museum and saw curious specimens of all types. Mr. London went to the Anatomy Hall to gut us to see a Head. He came back saying we could only see one which was most beautiful all the views of the Head Neck and parts of the body it was very interesting.; Money also has a deep regard for the engineering works of the day and has a special fascination for the canals and waterways of Holland. We had dinner and then went to to see the sluis the most Beautiful work I ever saw. It was begun in 1784 and finished in 1787. The whole country was inundated by the overflowing of the Bacchus of the Nile. It was like a sea but now these are houses where there was formerly nothing but water. This formed so when the sea is very boisterous there's a good deal of sand connected to the side of the gate so that it is had to clear away as it is on the sea side. The way they do it is the precipe overflows then they lift the gates all of a sudden which goes with such force that it forces the sand away.`` This is accompanied by a page-length drawing of the canal with it`s locks and steps and houses on each sides. The drawing is amateur but well done. The book is in very good shape structurally. The writing is clear and concise script done in black ink. A few pages have some smudging and one page in particular has a good bit of ink fading but which impedes legibility but does not make it impossible. The front cover of the journal states: `Short account of a holiday spent in The Hague by William Money later Rev. William in the summer of 1824 when he was 22 years old.` This is not in Money`s handwriting and was added later by an unknown person.; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF REVEREND WILLIAM MONEY ENGLISH GENTLEMAN LANDED GENTRY 19TH CENTURY ROTTERDAM MANCHESTER ENGLAND UNITED KINGDOM THE HAGUE DEN HAAG DIE HOUT LEYDEN LEIDEN THE NETHERLANDS HOLLAND CANALS IN THE NETHERLANDS FLOOD CONTROL EXTRAVAGANT TRAVEL TABLE DHOTE SLUICE GATE AGE OF BRITISH NOBILITY COLONIAL ERA ENGLAND BRITANNICA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO DANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . unknown

17754402888London: F. Newberry 1775. Twelve duodecimo volumes with 117 engraved plates of 118 lacking plate XXVII 'Black tiger male panther and lynx'; preliminaries thumbed title of one volume perforated and another significantly browned one leaf of text ink-stained general foxing and offsetting; original sheep leather binding scuffed with split hinges; worn as is often the case with juvenile literature of this period but a charming set. <p><p>A comprehensive natural history encyclopaedia for young people based on Pennant's system of classification. Animals are arranged according to quadrupeds fish birds and insects and each of these classifications is separately indexed. Besides the more usual natural history descriptions of animals vegetables and minerals this work is the first to describe for children Australia's most famous marsupial -- the kangaroo. The entry under the Jerboa vol. III p. 172 reads "Mr. Banks brought home the skin of an animal which he calls the kanguroo sic which from its general outline and the most striking peculiarity of its figure greatly remembers the jerboa yet it entirely differs in size and in many of those minute distinctions which point out the general ranks of nature. The kanguroo is often known to weigh above fifty pounds."</p> <p>The kangaroo was first seen by both Banks and Cook on 24 June 1770 and the first description of it appeared in Hawkesworth's Account of the Voyages published in 1773: "I should have taken it for a wild dog if instead of running it had not leapt like a hare or a deer. Mr. Banks also had an imperfect view of this animal and was of opinion that its species was hitherto unknown." During the remainder of the exploration of the east coast of Australia Cook records that both he and Banks shot and ate kangaroo on several occasions. He records two in particular that weighed eighty pounds and fifty-four pounds the skins of which Joseph Banks took back to England with him.</p> <p>Illustrations of over four hundred animals finely engraved in copper complete this charming eighteenth-century work intended solely to be used by children.</p> </p> .

1900592001Savannah 1900. Softcover. Very Good/Near Fine. First edition. Frontispiece portrait of Craft. 16mo. 24pp. With five illustrations. Stapled in rose-colored printed wrappers. Loose chip from one rear corner laid in light wear at the edges including a few shallow chips and light creases. A pamphlet published by Rev. William L. Craft field secretary of The National Baptist Young Peoples Union Board used for recruitment efforts in the early 1910s. It provides a brief history of the church from its foundation as the Negro Baptist Church by George Leile in 1777 to the then present day under the leadership of Rev. Richard Henry Boyd; lists the organization's various presidents board members and officers; provides an overview of domestic and international missionary work; and prints a selection of various "don'ts" from spreading gossip and chewing tobacco to casting judgment and harming others. Also of interest is a small section on the importance of the number seven "a mystical and symbolic number in the Bible" likely to attract the attention of fellow African descendants who still retained spiritual belief in numerology.

17753730London: Printed for T.Lowndes 1775 1775. First edition. 4to. 265x210mm. pp. iv 764 10 index. Ten engraved plates frontispiece portrait of the author and a further nine. The verso of the second leaf of preliminaries is numbered vi. Some foxing in places but otherwise internally very good with the plates in excellent condition. Handsomely bound in slightly later red straight-grained morocco upper and lower covers decorated with two double fillet borders in gilt enclosing a continuous "drawer-handle" design in blind and framing a continuous swag and drop border in blind. Spine with five double raised bands decorated in gilt and blind and lettered in gilt to the second and fifth compartment. Edges of the boards decorated in gilt. Turn-ins decorated in gilt with a wavy dotted line and ears of wheat with a flower motif in the corners. All edges gilt. The binding is of a very high standard. It is unsigned but the tooling and overall design conforms to the work of the German emigré binders and we would tentatively attribute the binding to either Christian Kalthoeber or John Bohn and date it to the 1790s or the very early years of the 1800s. A previous owner has inscribed the verso of the front free endpaper "Bound by Edwards of Halifax ". This seems unlikely but it is possible given the subject matter of the book and the links between Edwards and the German emigré binders that this copy did pass through Edwards's hands. John Watson 1723-1783 was that perfect eighteenth-century combination of clergyman and antiquary. He was the curate of Halifax between 1750 and 1754 and retained links with the town throughout his life. Starting with Druidical remains and moving through Roman affairs Watson brings the reader up to the eighteenth century. He covers the history of Halifax and provides details of the main buildings in the town as well as exploring fascinating byways such as "Remarks on the Dialect of Halifax""Vocabulary of Uncommon Words used in Halifax" and "A Catalogue of Plants Growing in the Parish of Halifax".

18013865<p>A scarce book of country excursions taking in some of the most striking landscapes and great houses within a day's journey of Bath. Three excursions are presented in the course of four letters with each excursion illustrated with a small part-page engraved map. The author describes in detail the landscapes cities and great houses along the way with plentiful information about the history of the towns gardens and architecture visited. Of particular note are Longleat Stourhead Fonthill and Wardour Castle. 'I am now to introduce you to one of the most splendid mansions in the kingdom Fonthill the seat of Mr. Beckford; where expence has reached its utmost limits in furniture and ornaments; where every room is a gold mine and every apartment a picture-gallery' p. 119. The description of Beckford's library is alas rather brief: 'The library is a large room filled with choice and expensive books; and decorated with appropriate paintings on the ceiling' p. 126.</p><p>Warner also visits 'new' Wardour Castle - it was built in the 1770s - and gives a room by room commentary of the architecture furniture and paintings. Or particular interest is his description of the chapel: 'From this apartment we are carried into the western gallery of the <em>chapel</em>; a structure that displays superlative taste and magnificence. Crimson furniture and gilded ornaments produce an immediate striking <em>coup d' œil; </em>but when the decorations are examined individually the splendour and expence become more perceptible. Three immense pictures by Rubens cover the southern wall of the chapel; and one by this artist and another by Guido of the same majestic size are their opposite companions. The altar-piece is a Dead Christ by Cades. A large gallery is constructed at the western end superbly fitted up for Lord Arundel and his party; a second at the east end of the north side for the choir; and a third at the east end of the north side for the accommodation of visiters sic. Benches occupy the middle of the chapel for the reception of the domestics and such of the villagers as profess the Romish faith; for there is a Catholic seminary here the pupils of which punctually attend at morning and evening prayers. The eastern end of the chapel recedes into a semi-circular form through the windows of which light is admitted; but as these are placed high and consist of coloured glass the effect is extremely striking and solemn. The central window exhibits Angels and the awful Tetragrammaton from which is an emanation of glory. Brought forward from the eastern end sufficiently to allow the processions around it stands the Altar a most costly piece of workmanship fixed on a splendid sarcophagus of ebony; and constructed of porphyry agate and amber. A magnificent crucifix of silver surmounts the altar; and two censers of solid gold embossed with silver suspended over it pour through the chapel odiferous clouds of ever-burning frankincense. Every thing around indeed evinces that the Romish ritual is observed here with the utmost vigour and magnificence; and doubtless the celebration of its higher offices amid such seducing objects must act with infinite force upon the imagination. The effect produced by the <em>externals</em> of worship every man experiences who attends our Cathedral service which has not been stripped of so much of its <em>lace</em> as the common parochial ritual; how much then must this be increased when aided by exquisite examples of sculpture and painting; amid the strains of angelical music the glare of unnumbered lights and the Hallelujahs of numerous multitudes! The tamest fancy must be roused by such a scene and the coldest heart warmed into transport … It is but proper to add that the attendance of strangers at the service in Wardour chapel is considered as a compliment and every convenience provided for their accommodation' pp. 137-141.</p><p>Richard Warner was an antiquary and an Anglican clergyman originally from the coastal town of Lymington in Hampshire. He became curate to Wililam Gilpin whose influence can be clearly seen in the present work dedicated to walking and the natural beauties of the west country. Warner obtained his first position in Bath in 1794 and remained there for some years writing a number of topographical works and a gothic novel <em>Netley Abbey</em> 1795 inspired by local ruins. He was a friend of Wordsworth who collected Warner's picturesque writings alongside those of Gilpin and who is known to have dined with him in Bath. In his lifetime Warner was mostly known for his controversial pacifist sermons and writings: it is thought that Blake was referring to Warner in the lines 'ask him if he is Bath or if he is Canterbury' in Jerusalem as claimed by David Erdman.</p><p>Although this copy is in a later nineteenth century binding and was bound without the half-title a previous owner - possibly from the 1840s or 1850s perhaps contemporaneous with the binding and the newspaper cutting - has added an engraved portrait a Latin celebration of Bath an engraving of Farleigh Castle and a newspaper cutting referring to Paul Methuen of Corsham.</p><p>OCLC lists BL University of Edinburgh the Natural History Museum and the Rubenianum in Antwerp only.</p> Crutwell & G.G. and J.

19290001398CHAMBERSBURG PENNSYLVANIA PENN PA. Good. 1929. On offer is an original grouping of four 4 manuscript diaries dated 1929 through 1931 handwritten by Reverend John C Stuff and Isabelle Gish later Stuff written during a period when John was in seminary and Isabelle was working in Chambersburg PA. Historians and researchers interested in the development and growth of a young man seeking a life in Christian outreach with all the passions doubts and difficulties that occur with youth and young love will find a unique treasure trove having a pair of diaries from both sides of the relationship. With great charm we initially read a card at the front of one diary: "Each time you record life's happenings here will you think of someone else who is recording her events Let us strive to make each day better. Your devoted fiancee Isabelle". John has written that they were engaged on April 6 1928 formally announced the engagement at Thanksgiving and spent their first Christmas together in spirit and truth as an engaged couple. While the diaries are interesting on a number of levels the story of their increasing love and subsequent marriage are really the stars here. John writes: "I took Isabelle to the Chb'g train this PM. It is hard to watch the train pull out but thro the lingering last smile and the sparkle of the eye is the hope that cannot be lost but lives til the train brings her again to me. I resolve to read more and take Sem. life more conscientiously. I resolve to stand on my own feet self confident and courage equal to all others. To try to be more helpful and make my dearest happier." John's diary is fascinating reading as he considers his religious training in light of the real world around him and expresses his interest in some of the new religious developments such as the writings of Rutherford and Russel Jehovah's Witnesses and "this interesting age and life of Industrialism and Science." John's diaries unlike many more mundane diaries of clerical types are a study of real humanity as he struggles with the balance between his calling and his culture and the difficulties of life in modern times. Here is a snippet: "Mother William and I left for State College this AM at 7:00. Car wasn't working. Arrived 11:00 AM Will was registered and boarding at Criterion Club. I'm sure he will like it and get much from it. We came back thru Dry Run stopped at Esther's for 6:30 dinner. I was hungry and tired. Home about 10 pm. Esther and Jacob seem to be very happy. Probably a good thing that she was tired of teaching before marriage. That valley surely has its moral problems." "Tried to sleep this AM but couldn't. Got an interesting reaction from Isabelle. Today I don't see why she read the meaning into it that she did. We are both too sensitive and too easily upset by things which don't apply to us. Saw "Hallelujah" this pm I was a bit disappointed with the picture of negro life. Worked tonight again. Good radioing but getting very cold." "Left at 8:30 for Sem again. Arrived here. Went to 11:00 am class. Many boys not back yet. Several sick. Hill not back yet. I wish M Tozer were here this year. I think he would be a good companion. Miller and I saw "Gold Diggers" tonight. Very good show. Thank the Lord Isabelle isn't a gold digger; for ministers don't have - gold." "Rev Honch asked me to assist him in communion service this AM. I read scripture. Mk 10:12-26 and administered sacrament of wine. Little nervous at first but very good experience." "Cold coming up from Hotel. Slept from 10-1 pm today. Dinner with waiters. Slept this PM. Worked at hotel tonight. didn't eat till about 10 pm. Read NT and Listing to Dr Smith of Illinois. Preacher. My dear called from Ardmore tonight. I am so glad she called for it made me feel so much better in every way. Put new life into my work and thinking. Perfect understanding is a much desired thing." "Letter from Sem today. I'm ready to go back and wasn't to room alone. Began fixing the bed springs. Helped JN to refill silo this pm. Hard work and hot. Went to Mill. Has been reading Judge Rutherford - Russelism -he thinks more than the average man." Judge Rutherford was a leader of the Jehovah's Witness movement and Russelism was an early name for the tenets of the Watchtower Society. "Read H Spirit book went downtown and bought 3 bottles of ginger ale. The idea of bringing them up to Sem. was amusing." "Tonight we played cards til 8:30 then I read HS book and went to bed at 10:30 pm. Just a week ago I was relaxing with ease and comfort in Isabelles room and we were having a splendid visit. I wish I were there this weekend for I surely enjoy going down to see her and be with her if only the cost wasn't so great." "Wrote Isabelle felt like quitting and going down to her. Heartache for her. Studied Greek felt better after Chapel worked late." Here are snippets from Isabelle's diaries: Jan 1: "My first diary. Had the last vacation date with John tonight. It seems hard to part but time will pass and soon we will be together always. Dad sick in bed with the flu. Came back to Ardmore. What a thrill after such a nice vacation. John took me to Chambersburg for the train. 4:22 was almost starred and nothing in the apartment to eat. Chatted a while and went to bed. First day teaching. Taught three music classes for Miss Metzger. Unpacked fruit that came from home. Guess I'll do no more tonight. Too much talking. How glad I am its Friday. Made out some final tests today and wrote 3 letters. Sort of have the blues reaction setting in from vacation. Must iron some hankies then retire for a much needed sleep.Got weighed lost 3 lbs weigh 137. Henrietta gained 1 lb. Taught 2 B Art for Miss Rodgers. Held one of the pupils on my lap coming in on the bus route. Mrs Arterburn looked at me and said they had bugs. Makes me feel itchy. Mr Goos told Henrietta to take Ep. Salts for cold. Washed my hair. Taught two art classes today again. Was put on hall duty today. Another new job. Adeline Crouse invited me to a bridge party Feb 8th. Have a boil on my face. Kelly called Helen again. Gave Frank Cappella a taste of the ruler. Another boil on my face. Went up to Metzgers to see Henrietta's sister and Ismine. Insurance agent came. Helen met her at the door Judge jumped behind screen and I leaped to the bedroom. No time for such folks. Ma said we should take our paper downstairs everyday. She is afraid of fire. Judge shed some tears. Washed and ironed as usual. Carrie Miller was out in the afternoon. Rest went to Chambersburg. John and I practiced some music then went to see Will Rogers in "Lightning" Good light comedy. Had a long epistle from Henrietta. Made out marks. Had a letter from John. He made an appointment for vocal on Friday night. Someone took his hat on Sunday night. Went up to have Pauline Hege give me some q's on vocal but she wasn't home." Here is a specific breakdown of each book: Diary 1 is a Wanamaker diary for 1929 red binding used by Isabelle. The pages are firmly attached but the front cover and spine are starting to separate from the binding. However the book is in very good condition for its age and is solid.

Diary 3 is a personalized Day by Day diary used by John with a lock on the strap that holds the diary closed. It is very full and is in excellent condition. John's name is embossed on the cover.
