Previous owners name and date on the fep. One glassine illustration protector separated by present. Esther Wood born 1866 died 1952/3 was a British art critic. Born Esther Walker Wood trained as a journalist. She was an early member of both the Fabian Society and the Independent Labour Party and also joined the Pharos Club. She married J. W. Wood in 1893 and then followed him in joining the Social Democratic Federation. In 1902/03 she served on the executive of the Fabian Society. In Dante Rossetti and the Pre-Raphaelite Movement 1894 Wood argues that the Pre-Raphaelites reinvented a mediaeval tradition. She also edited the works of George Eliot and wrote numerous articles for magazines principally on subjects relating to art. She shared a house in Witley Surrey with a fellow writer and Fabian Gertrude Dix. She divorced J. W. Wood in 1897. Gabriel Charles Dante Rossetti 12 May 1828 – 9 April 1882 generally known as Dante Gabriel Rossetti was an English poet illustrator painter translator and member of the Rossetti family. He founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1848 with William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais. Rossetti inspired the next generation of artists and writers William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones in particular. His work also influenced the European Symbolists and was a major precursor of the Aesthetic movement. Rossetti's art was characterized by its sensuality and its medieval revivalism. His early poetry was influenced by John Keats and William Blake. His later poetry was characterized by the complex interlinking of thought and feeling especially in his sonnet sequence The House of Life. Poetry and image are closely entwined in Rossetti's work. He frequently wrote sonnets to accompany his pictures spanning from The Girlhood of Mary Virgin 1849 and Astarte Syriaca 1877 while also creating art to illustrate poems such as Goblin Market by the poet Christina Rossetti his sister. Rossetti's personal life was closely linked to his work especially his relationships with his models and muses Elizabeth Siddal whom he married Fanny Cornforth and Jane Morris.

They must take this on faith and you are to be the faith-builder for the little ones." <br /> <br />The name of the notebook's author and owner appears in a list of 1900 Normal School graduates in Suffolk County issued as part of the annual New York State Superintendent's Report: Esther Alice Andrews of Patten's Mills successfully completed the English Course.

18141160Middletown CT. 1814. <p>Folio. 320 x 200 mm. 12 ½ x 8 inches. 424 leaves. Textblock sewn with original drab paper wrappers. Wrappers with a few tears and folds at the edges some staining and a few ink marks; otherwise a remarkably well preserved manuscript work book.</p> <br /> <p>Fine example of an early American arithmetic work book filled with examples applicable to the mercantile or dry goods trade. Includes exercises in simple addition addition of Federal Money simple subtraction subtraction of Federal Money simple multiplication and the application and use of multiplication in making out bills determining quantity and finding the value of goods. This part includes examples of establishing the cost of paper pairs of men’s shoes bushels of oats and other grains and food commodities. This is followed by exercises in division compound addition Sterling money weights and measures Troy weight Avoirdupois apothecaries cloth wine and the measurement of land.</p> <br /> <p>Of the examples we especially note math problems concerning distances on the East Coast including New York to Philadelphia; a wine merchant’s dwindling quantity of ‘pipe wine’; and a tailor’s bill for materials and making of a silk coat vest and buttons.â€Â   A final question to be solved reads as follows: “The war between England and America commenced April 19 1775 and a general peace took place January 20th 1783 how long did the war continueâ€Â Miss Taggart’s calculations break down the problem into years months and days to arrive at the correct answer. </p> <br /> <p>The contents of the manuscript suggest that Ms. Taggart may have been training to work in a commercial setting selling goods such as the one listed in the fictional Bill of Parcels. Although it is well known that women especially wives of the owners of general stores managed the business side of a mercantile enterprise it is very rare to have an exercise book penned by a woman that documents the method of learning complex mathematics and business practices.</p> <br /> <p>In this case Esther Taggart was very proud of the work she was doing and she signed the book four different time; once on the inside cover; once on p. 9 “Esther Taggart’s Manuscriptâ€; once on p. 45 again signing it “Esther Taggart’s Manuscript†and finally on the inside rear wrapper. </p> <br /> <p>Although we are not sure which New England town named Middletown was Esther’s home we think it was Connecticut. On the sample “Bill of Parcel†that appears on the verso of leaf 11 the example cites New London as the origin of the invoice. </p> . unknown

187174060Philadelphia: W.S. Turner 1871. Rare first <span class="glossaryQtip qTip">edition</span> of the first Jewish cookbook published in America with extensive instructions on keeping a kosher household in addition to recipes.<i> </i>Octavo original cloth. In very good condition rebacked. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. First editions are exceptionally scarce of this milestone in American Jewish history. The introductory sections provide an overview of kosher dining household economy and table-setting. Later sections include household tips "to cement broken china" "to revive the color of black silk" lists of seasonable foods by month and a two-page summary of the Jewish calendar. A longer section titled "Hints for Housekeepers" suggests a weekly routine in detail. For Sunday dinner Levy points out that "this is the day the husbands are at home then something good must be prepared in honor of the lords of the household." Most of the book consists of recipes as expected including some classics from Jewish cuisine. Macaroons matzo cleis soup German kouglauff kugel grimslechs chremslachs and "potato souffle for Passover." Some recipes have apparently been adapted from American neighbors such as macaroni hominy fritters and "ochre soup or gumbo" which is reported to be "much used in the South." Throughout Levy's recipes are more impressionistic than scientific pepper pot soup: "in a pint and a half of water put such vegetables as you wish . . . cut them very small and stew them with a couple of pounds of mutton and a piece of nice beef" and the requirements of kashrut are strongly emphasized. "This book offers us a vivid look into the daily lives of the American Jewish community just before the period of its most rapid growth. In the recipes you can see the dynamic between the requirements of keeping kosher the cultural traditions brought over from Europe and the American ingredients at hand but it's also rich in detail on the day-to-day management of a 19th-century Jewish household. It's an interesting and important cultural document" Rick Stattler The New York Jewish Week. Only one copy listed in OCLC. W.S. Turner hardcover books
