First Edition in English. 194 x 151 mm. 6 5/8 x 6". 6 p.l. last blank 193 pp. 2 leaves final blank. <br/> Very nice late 19th century dark maroon morocco by Lloyd of London stamp-signed on front turn-in covers framed by gilt and blind rules blind ruling at corners raised bands spine panels with blind-stamped quatrefoil gilt lettering gilt-ruled turn-ins quatrefoil cornerpieces all edges gilt. Lacking the folding "Table of Discipline" called for in ESTC. Front pastedown with armorial bookplate of Albert Ehrman; rear pastedown with Ehrman's faded ink stamp bookplate of "Bibliotheca Broxbourniana / J. P. W. E. / 17 March 1949 / ex dono A. & R. E." STC 24184; ESTC S118505; USTC 507892. Text washed and pressed but except for the first and last few leaves without the typical resultant darkening and fading otherwise an extremely attractive copy still fresh the margins especially wide and the binding lustrous and scarcely worn.<br/> <br/> First issued in Latin in the same year as our edition this is the major work of English puritan Walter Travers 1548 - 1625 applying the Calvinist presbyterian system of ecclesiastical government to the episcopal Church of England. According to DNB for Calvin and Travers alike "the duty of the theologian was merely to identify the church's structure and apply it to contemporary circumstances. It was in this last respect that Travers's originality lay for he subtly adapted Calvin's biblical model to an English context. In order to undermine the diocesan episcopate of the English church Travers started off with an examination of the role of bishops in the New Testament showing that they were not part of a separate hierarchy with authority over other clergy but merely ministers of local congregations. He also differed from Calvin in identifying elders as a type of deacon rather than a separate kind of minister." Our book was written during Travers' 1570-76 sojourn in Geneva where he became a friend of Calvin's successor Theodore Beza. Afterwards he ministered to English merchant marines in Antwerp where he refused to use the Book of Common Prayer for worship. Despite this when Travers returned to England he became chaplain to Elizabeth's chief minister William Cecil and tutor to his son. As DNB notes "his close ties to influential courtiers of a Calvinist inclination" would be key to Travers' career keeping him out of serious trouble despite his strongly presbyterian views. Our volume has a distinguished provenance coming from the celebrated Broxbourne library of Albert Ehrman 1890-1969 a diamond merchant who gathered a fine collection of books at his home at Broxbourne in Hertfordshire. He spent half a century collecting books specializing in incunabula and early bindings as well as early type specimens and bibliographies. Feather says that "his collecting was intelligent and scholarly for he sought to illustrate the history of printing and the book trade and the early development of trade binding." Ehrman also authored learned articles on fine bindings and the history of printing. The present work is uncommon: we could trace just five copies at auction since 1979; only the 1979 copy contained the folding "Table" and that one was noted as "slightly defective and mounted on linen.".

Light chipping and soiling to wrappers. Contemporary notation to header of title else internally clean. Very good plus. An account of the second year of the activities of the New England Freedmen's Aid Society NEFAS an activist group formed to assist emancipated Black Americans in may aspects of life especially with gaining academic and practical educations following the Civil War. The present work is especially important for the long section titled "Condition of the Freedmen" which occupies pages 11 to 51 about half of the total work. This section details the population state of education labor and industry opportunities general condition and more of free African Americans in several regions of the country namely the Military Department of the South Key West and the Tortugas Military Department of Virginia and North Carolina the District of Columbia the Mississippi Valley Middle Tennessee Western Arkansas and Louisiana. Interestingly a substantial subsection of the section on the Department of the South is devoted to a discussion of arable lands available to freed slaves around Beaufort and Port Royal known to modern audiences as "Forty Acres and a Mule." Regarding the land in this area the report states that "It was a matter of course that the lands should all be taken for those blacks who did not wish to turn cultivators were perfectly aware that they could sell their 40 acres for many times the government price."<br /> <br /> The organization was also notable for its mission specifically aimed at education and for the critical role women played in its work. "The New England Freedmen's Aid Society was founded in Boston in 1862 in response to an appeal.on behalf of 8000 formerly enslaved people at Port Royal SC. Originally named the Educational Commission its mission was to provide teachers and other aid for 'the industrial social intellectual moral and religious' advantage of freedmen" Massachusetts Historical Society. As was the case with many abolition and aid groups women were in the vanguard of the NEFAS. They recruited trained and even served as educators in the program. For much of the twentieth century if historians wrote about the first teachers among freed people at all they characterized them as foolish even dangerous women.who bore a heavy responsibility for the racial tension after the Civil War and whose work caused Southern educators to avoid Black education" The Freedmen's Teacher Project. Yet scholars in the 1960s and after -- particularly women and Black researchers -- have returned to the documents of the Society to uncover the serious and often intersectional work being done by both white and Black activists in Port Royal reframing "the freedmen's education movement as not primarily a gift of northern largess.but as autonomous actions of hundreds of Black communities across the South demanding access to literacy and numeracy" The Freedmen's Teacher Project. In this sense those "dangerous" women were troubling because they heard the call of Black peoples took their needs seriously and reacted accordingly. The movement was thus "largely Black-inspired abetted by female missionary teachers" whose shared goals were to prepare "former slaves for lives of freedom in a democratic America" The Freedmen's Teacher Project.<br /> <br /> The present Annual Report shows the early efforts of this Society including fundraising allocation of funds educational programs and educational gains and future goals. Included in the list of Officers are eleven white women in leadership roles; indeed women were the majority in the Committee on Teachers and the Committee on Clothing and Supplies. Among them are more well-known activists who appear in American Abolitionists and Antislavery Activists i.e. Ednah Cheney and Sarah Barrett Cabot who had raised her daughter to become a leader in the movement. Most however are lesser or unknown denoted largely by their husbands' names rather than their own. Even less visible but even more important were the unlisted Black women who were members of the group and contributors to the grassroots work. "Nearly one-fifth of the Northern teachers were Black.Black teachers were fifteen times more likely to give a few years of their lives to Southern Black education.the rest of the recruited teachers were native to the South; many had been enslaved while others were Southern free Black women and other men of color" The Freedmen's Teacher Project. The accomplishments in the report -- fundraising equipment educational gains -- can largely be attributed to their efforts.<br /> <br /> The report for the first year of the organization is exceedingly rare with only one example listed in OCLC; twelve copies of the present report appear in OCLC though no copies have appeared in modern auction records and no other copies are currently in trade. An important and scarce historical document preserving the accomplishments of a fairly short-lived intersectional activist group with vital reports on the activities of freed slaves throughout the southern part of the country.

A few of the churches have multiple photos. Most photos are shot from a similar three quarters frontal view though some are frontal.

The photographer travelled throughout New England with the breakdown of churches as follows: 206 in Massachusetts forty-six in Connecticut forty-eight in Maine eighty-six in New Hampshire sixteen in Rhode Island and six in other states. <br /> <br /> A fine collection impeccably preserved in the original albums which read “Memories†on the front. unknown
1778ABC_455321778. Sewn with two small chords in the left upper and bottom corner. Folio. First draft of an autograph manuscript in French with erasures and corrections probably written by a diplomat or strategist concerning the causes of Britains defeat of France in India during the Seven Years War 1756-1763 and analysing different ways to restore France to power on Indian soil by an alliance with the sultan Haider Ali Khan 1722-1782 who ruled Mysore and a large part of southern India and was one of the greatest enemies of the British East India Company. According to the unidentified diplomat who wrote this text Haider Ali Khan was the only one who was able to defeat the British or challenge their supremacy in India. In this manuscript he describes the best strategy not only to join Haider Ali Khan but also to negotiate with the British people on profitable Indian trade for both parties.Slightly worn and frayed around the edges first page slightly dust-soiled but still an interesting autograph manuscript in good condition. unknown

Very occasional early manuscript annotations. A mid-eighteenth-century reissue of the rules and orders for the good government of the Bank of England; including the charter of incorporation issued by King William III and Queen Mary II on July 27th 1694. One wonders whether the republication of the charter in 1758 may have been occasioned by the execution of Stafford linen draper Richard Vaughan following his conviction for the forgery of a Bank of England note; the first conviction of its kind.
