[Music - 19th Century - New England - Family Bands - Shepard Family Band]Biblio.com

A Collection of Thirteen Cabinet Cards of the Shepard Family Band. V.p. ca. 1880s-1890s

1890List1620Mostly New England: Various Photographers 1890. Cabinet cards measuring 6 Â½ x 4 Â¼ inches. Various settings showing the band members posed with their instruments including banjos violins trumpets drum and tubas. Varying wear but generally very good with some normal age-related fading. Very Good. Originally from Lawrenceville New York the Shepard Family Band toured throughout the Northeast in the 1880s and 1890s eventually settling in South Royalton Vermont. All members of the family were apparently musically inclined: â€œIn addition to Minnie mother and matriarch Mary â€œMinnieâ€ Shepard and her husband patriarch James Monroe Shepard all of the children were pressed into service. Daughter Laura Belle the â€˜violinisteâ€™ was getting better all the time under the instruction of a â€˜competent master.â€™ Her fans â€œwill be astonished at the improvement in style tone and expression.â€ It was said of little Lessie that â€˜Among lady cornetists she has no equal.â€™ The darling little son of the family Master Burtie could not help but please for he was well-known to be â€˜The youngest Tuba soloist in the world; only nine years of age; scarcely larger than the instrument he plays.â€™ He was also a â€˜clever comedian singer and character artist.â€ The baby little Flossie â€œa sweet little miss of four summersâ€™ was said to be a â€œwonderful mimic and impersonatorâ€¦a veritable little fairy.â€™ Daughters Kittie and Georgia were also part of the troupe.â€ - Henry Sheldon Museum. A very nice collection. Various Photographers unknown

A very handsome set some hinges starting the textblocks clean fresh crisp and unpressed. RARE FIRST EDITION COMPLETE OF THIS IMPORTANT HISTORY OF ENGLAND FROM THE FIRST INVASION OF THE ROMANS PRESENTED IN HANDSOME CONTEMPORARY BINDINGS. John Lingard 5 February 1771 – 17 July 1851 was an English Roman Catholic priest and historian the author of The History of England From the First Invasion by the Romans to the Accession of Henry VIII an eight-volume work published in 1819. Lingard was a teacher at the English College at Douai and at the seminary at Crook Hall and later St. Cuthbert's College. In 1811 he retired to Hornby in Lancashire to continue work on his writing. The principal object of his major work The History of England is to emphasise the disastrous effects of the Reformation. The book was later expanded by the author and the title changed to reflect the period covered. As each additional volume appeared the History's reputation increased while Lingard continued to revise and improve the whole work. Lingard himself argued that one of his chief duties as an historian was: "to weigh with care the value of the authorities on which I rely and to watch with jealousy the secret workings of my own personal feelings and prepossessions. Such vigilance is a matter of necessity to every writer of history . Otherwise he will be continually tempted to make an unfair use of the privilege of the historian; he will sacrifice the interests of truth to the interests of party national or religious or political." J. Lingard "History of England" vol 1 6th edition London: Charles Dolman 1854 p. 6. Lingard adopted a non-controversial and sober approach to history with the emphasis on incontrovertible fact and using primary rather than secondary sources. Lingard's History is also an apt demonstration of the advantages a Catholic historian of the time may have had in terms of impartiality. Lingard's religion had to a large extent isolated him from the mainstream nationalism which surrounded Protestant historians as well as from the growing "providentialist" concept of history. Lingard's strength of argument however continued to be popular and the influence of Protestant animosity for Catholic apologetic also led him to develop a keen critical judgment. He was devoted to absolute accuracy and detail and the History was a groundbreaking work in its use of primary sources. Lingard made extensive use of Vatican archives and French Italian Spanish and English dispatches document collections and state papers – the first British historian to do so. The peripheral nature of English Catholicism put him in a position of "outside observer" to much of English intellectual culture and this is reflected in his historical works. Despite this distancing effect however Lingard maintained an active interest in politics all his life and was a noted pamphleteer. History of England is a substantial scholarly work which gave full treatment to the history of England. From 1811 until his death in 1851 Lingard spent most of his life in the village of Hornby near Lancaster where he devoted himself to his study and writing. A quiet gentle man he was well liked by the residents. Lingard's popularity as an historian had its day but his contribution to historical method came at a critical point in British intellectual history. Printed for J. Mawman in Ludgate Street; Printed for Baldwin and Cradock, Paternoster-Row and Joseph Booker, New Bond Street hardcover
