164520454London: Pr. for John Wright 1645. Small 4to. 1 f. 6 pp. <br><br>A parliamentary action on ordination: The ordinance sparked some controversy immediately and there was at least one immediate publication that examined its import.<br>Â Â Â Â => Bibliographically interesting. Wing records four different issues of this ordinance the telling points being on the title-page: the spelling of "classical" or "classicall" and the form of the date whether "12 Novemb. 1645" or just "1645" and combinations thereof.

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.

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.
