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.

164237985London: Printed for John Wright 1642. 4to 19 cm 7.5". 8 pp. <br><br>First edition. This ordinance made provision for privateers to hinder aid reaching the Irish during the Rebellion of 1641 although the rebellion wasn't entirely quelled until Cromwell's New Model Army reconquered Ireland in 1653. The war was almost certainly the most destructive in Irish history and its abiding legacy was the wholesale transfer of land ownership and political power from the old Catholic elite to a Protestant one in part newly installed and in part pre-existing the war. The publisher of this wartime proclamation was an official printer for the Parliament of England and published several early newspapers and ballads. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â ESTC R19001; Wing rev. ed.

180925207London: Published as the Act directs by Thos. Daniell Howland Street Fitzroy Square 1809. Aquatint by Thomas Daniell after James Wales coloured by hand on 'Whatman' wove paper. Do Tali' the remarkable two storied cave complex from Plans of Hindoo Excavations in the Mountain of Ellora.<br/> <br/>This plate was engraved by Thomas Daniell after a drawing by James Wales in 1803 and is from the part of Oriental Scenery known as "Hindoo Excavations in the Mountain of Ellora near Aurangabad". The huge complex of cave temples was actually begun by Buddhists in the 6th century eventually including Hindo and Jain temples as well. The Daniells' Oriental Scenery is considered one of the finest illustrated works on India. Thomas Daniell and his nephew William spent nine years in India making studies sketches and drawings of the scenery architecture and antiquities that graced the countryside. They then devoted a further thirteen years to publishing their remarkably accurate aquatints. In Britain the impact was explosive. A cult of Indian architecture landscaping and interior decoration arose with the Royal Pavilion at Brighton as its centerpiece. The Daniells gave the English public their first accurate look at the exotic sub-continent. Their great achievement still lies in their ability to blend the picturesque with the real resulting in images that capture the European taste for the sublime landscape while still remaining faithful to their subjects. The Daniells brought the romance of the English landscape to the antiquities of India and provided England with an accurate vision of this wondrous country. The sixth part of Oriental Scenery is twenty-four plates based on drawings by James Wales primarily of the excavations at Ellora. The title of this section was Hindoo Excavations in the Mountain of Ellora near Aurungabad in Decan. The mountain contains 34 "caves" that were created to serve as monasteries and temples for Buddhists Hindus and Jains each religion having several spaces. Do Tal here called Dotali was one of the Buddhist "caves". It is three stories high and was built in the 8th century.<br/> <br/>Abbey Travel II.420 no. 122; Martinelli and Michell India: Yesterday and Today p. 210 no. 143; cf. Lowndes I p.588; cf.
