1839WRCAM31975Washington Ms 1839. Broadside 15 1/2 x 13 inches. Separated at vertical center fold. Slight chipping at edges. Light tanning and dampstaining. Good. A prospectus for Jefferson College providing course information and names of professors most notably Jacob Ammen who was a West Pointer teacher of military engineering and eventually lieutenant colonel in the 12th Ohio Volunteers under McClellan. A key point is the argument that the local boys must be kept close to home and away from the evil influence of the abolitionists of the North. Wales writes: <br> <br> "At this very moment a formidable contest has commenced between North and South from the possible results of which the eye of the patriot instinctively revolts.it surely becomes us to preserve our children from any influence that might mislead their judgement or weaken their patriotism. To do this effectively WE MUST KEEP THEM AT HOME!" <br> <br> Good evidence of defending regional education in the antebellum South.

14750'Bangor Wales Decr. 1886.'. The lecture which is unpublished is an interesting personal statement by a neglected Victorian painter who died tragically young. A rather impressive example of his work in Turneresque style titled 'The Heart of the Hills' is in the Maidstone Museum. The lecture is 30pp. 8vo in a ruled notebook with embossed black wraps. In good condition on aged paper with some wear and discoloration. Ownership inscription of 'W. G. Shrubsole Bangor Decr. 1886' inside the front wrap. The first page is headed 'The Ideal in Art. by W. G. Shrubsole Dec. 1886.' Following the lecture is a later note by Shrubsole stating 'This lecture was delivered at Bangor N. Wales in Dec. 1886 in connection with the Menai Society of Science and Literature. W.G.S.' The text carries a number of deletions and emendations. Shrubsole begins by asking his audience to make allowance for the 'difficulties besetting this treatment' of his 'vast subject' 'owing to the complexity of the various considerations involved which renders brevity the greatest difficulty to be encountered in such an undertaking'. His aim has been 'to direct attention and to induce reflection rather than to be didactic but if I have failed to imbue this discourse with that character - if I appear somewhat dogmatic here and there my apology must be that my dogmatism is the result of earnest conviction that the subject of Art is one on which I feel deeply - one which I have more practical knowledge of than of any other and one to which I have from childhood given the most earnest and unremitting attention endeavoured to grasp the principles of and the relation of those principles to the other emerging streams of knowledge and thought which commingling form and feed the fount of higher life. The vital importance of Art as a tributary to the higher-life is yet to be recognized in this country; the few spasmodic attempts made hitherto have failed to pierce the adamantine husk of ignorance and indifference which enshrouds the subject in the minds of those towards whom we turn in vain'. Loosely inserted in the notebook is a pen drawing on 17.5 x 12.5cm paper titled 'W. E. Bacon Sept 10th. 1880' and signed 'W. G. Shrubsole'. It shows the head and shoulders of a bearded man smoking a pipe in artist's broad-brimmed hat buttoned coat and muffler. On the reverse is a pencil sketch of a street of Tudor buildings. Another loosely-inserted item is a 'Synopsis' 1p. 12mo in Shrubsole's hand under the headings 'Colour faculty comparatively modern' and 'Colour as a physical Science'. A third loosely inserted item is a cutting of a magazine article by Shrubsole under his initials 'W. G. S.' titled 'KITTLES' and concerning his pet cat. 'Bangor [Wales] Decr. 1886.' paperback
