1860182fdNew York: Negro Universities Press 1968. Reprint of the 1860 edition. Octavo brown cloth hardcover gilt letters 526 pp. Fine. From Preface: As most of the Letters embraced in this volume were written for the Editor of the late American Courier and appeared therein from time to time the writer therof has not seen fit to alter the local allusions the style of address in the Letters or the appellation of Needles by which they were originally designated. As these Letters were commenced and many of them published before Mrs. Stowe’s Uncle Tom was written its pictures of South-western life have no reference to that work nor were influenced by it. These epistles are not replies to any attacks on the South but a simple representation of Southern life as viewed by an intelligent Northerner whose opinions are frankly and fearlessly given. The object of this work is to do justice to the Southern planter and at the same time afford information in an agreeable form to the Northerner; and if these objects are obtained in any degree the writer inc consenting to its publication as a volume will be fully rewarded. One important fact ought not to be overlooked which is that ninety-nine out of every hundred of the governesses tutors professional men and others who flock to the South ten thousand a year for the improvement of their fortunes remain the young ladies if they can obtain Southern husbands and identify themselves fully with the Southern Institutions.

19957226000001Jackson MS: University Press of Mississippi 1995. Softbound. VG. Illustrated wraps. 80 pp. 16 color 19 bw plates. Text written by Rene Paul Barilleaux and Victoria J. Beck. An excellent examination of this turn-of-the-century artist who painted impressionist Barbizon style pictures on East Hampton Long Island. An appreciative retrospective of the art of a noted turn-of-the century painter. A leading practitioner of the Barbizon and Impressionist styles dominating the progressive American art scene at the turn of the century Gaines Ruger Donoho 1857-1916 has attracted little scholarly attention since his death. His work was exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon during the 1880s and attracted the critical admiration of noted artists such as James McNeill Whistler and Pierre C. Puvis de Chavannes. In 1889 he was awarded a silver medal at the University Exposition in Paris one of the most important exhibitions of the period. Returning to New York in 1887 Donoho was associated with a group that included Childe Hassam John Twachtman Frank Benson and Edmund Tarbell among others of the most advanced artists working in America at that time. Donoho's works were shown in numerous exhibitions at art galleries academies and museums and he became recognized as one of America's most promising artists. Among the first of the early modern American artists to move to Long Island a significant venue for the evolution of American landscape painting Donoho continued to develop his art in a way that suggests the reciprocal influences of Childe Hassam J. Alden Weir John Twachtman and William Merritt Chase.<br/>SUBJECTS. University Press of Mississippi unknown books

The bond executed under seal by Mississippi's Governor and Treasurer had been issued in accordance with a statute pledging the State's credit to secure loans to the Mississippi Union Bank. But Mississippi refused to pay claiming that the bond had been issued irregularly and that the governing Act had been passed unconstitutionally. The Court rejects these defenses after examining the statute and its purposes the State Constitution and the business of the Bank.<br/>Sabin 49545.
