1888101161<p>Wolverhampton May 17 1888. 1888. Fine. - Over 360 words penned on three-and-a-quarter sides of folded 7-7/8 inch high by 5 inch wide "Queen Street Congregational Chapel Wolverhampton" stationery. The English nonconformist divine Charles Albert Berry congratulates the American Impressario Major James B. Pond on his marriage "Do I know the happy bride I have a sort of dim notion that I both saw & spoke to her. Am I dreaming or have I had the pleasure" He goes on to say that he's "made a place for her in my invisible circle of memoried friends." Explaining that though he and his wife will be visiting America soon he has no intention of lecturing "I am being pretty much worked to death & my holiday when I take it must be a time of real rest." He mentions hearing the Dr. Abbott may be permanently staying in Plymouth and goes on to write his impressions of the state of affairs in Britain: "Over here things are getting hopelessly mixed theologically politically and socially. Spurgeon is urging the Churches to get back to pre-scientific beliefs: Chamberlain is struggling to hold the country to pre-humanitarian views upon Ireland: and a little band of men in London are shouting pre-Civilized crudities about socialism & the like." Signed "Charles. A. Berry". Folded for mailing else near fine.</p><p>The English nonconformist divine Charles Albert Berry 1852-1899 was influenced by the New York Dutch Reformed Church minister Dr. J. M. Macaulay when the latter resided in England for a few years. After attending Airedale College in Bradford to study for the ministry he became pastor of the St. George's Road Congregational church in Bolton. He became pastor of the Curch at Queen Street in Woverhampton where his broad views and eloquence made an impact. Having promised Henry Ward Beecher that he would visit America he did so but refused the invitation to succeed Beecher. Following an 1892 conference at Grindelwald he Hugh Price Hughes and Alexander Mackennal introduced the ideas and principles of a Free Church federation throughout England. He served as the first president of the Free Church congress and also served as president of the Congregational Union of England and Wales. He effectively campaigned for peace between England and America over the Venezualan boundery dispute.</p> Wolverhampton, May 17, 1888.

During my usual afternoon to volunteer I found this book. It was so interesting that I had to write about it. The book's title is "Freaks of Fashion" with illustrations of the changes in corsets and crinolines from remote periods to the present time. It was printed in London by Ward Lock and Tyler Warwick House Paternoster Row. Looking in the last chapter "the present time" was around 1868. <br /> <br /> The first example of a corset was a description of a primitive man making himself a wide belt to hold his knife quiver and other hunting gear. For security he used laces to tighten the belt so it would stay in place. The last illustration in the book is of two ladies wearing the 1868 fashion of a glove-tight-fitted corset along with a cage undergarment called the Zephyrina jupon. <br /> <br /> As I read through the book and enjoyed the illustrations I realized that women and girls had only a few fashions that didn't have them strapped into some kind of contraption so tightly that some would faint. The corset was made from many types of material. Some were made with heavy cloth such as sailcloth and were laced in the front. Others were made of cloth with bone or metal called stays. Those corsets usually hooked in the front and laced in the back. During the reign of the first Queen Elizabeth corsets were made of metal. One description by a French writer is: "This formidable corset was hardened and stiffened in every imaginable way; it descended in a long hard point and rose stiff and tight to the throat making the wearers look as if they were imprisoned in a close-fitting fortress." <br /> <br /> Crinolines are another undergarment that came in and out of fashion. One style was a round hoop of crinoline that extended out from the waist for over 18 inches and draped downward. This style did not go to the floor. Women could show her ankles! There were crinolines that had hoops spaced down the skirt. Each hoop was larger than the one before. This style helped with the illusion of a very small waist. Other fashions had women and men wearing up to three or four ruffs around their necks which restricted turning their head. There were big ruffs made like a large fan that was worn behind the lady's head. <br /> <br /> This book also has information on jewelry shoes stockings and makeup worn with each fashion. Since "Freaks of Fashion" was written before the bustle was designed I wonder what the authors would have said about it." from The Tribune Star Terra Houte IN. Ward, Lock, and Tyler hardcover

18712240144Boston: Alfred Mudge & Son 1871. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fair. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover green cloth beveled boards with gilt text on front and spine. Exterior shows scuffing and soiling along with edge and corner bumps/wear. The top and bottom edges of the spine are missing sections of the cloth. The main reason for the very low condition grade of fair is because the first end page has been torn out presumably to take out the signature of the original owner. There is only one blank and page and the front still present. The only handwriting that was found in the book is opposite the title page no other markings noted. Pages are toned due to age and there is some pulling and spots and the rear hinge is cracking. This book is in early temperance publication on the evils of liquor and is uncommon to find the original publication - even in this condition. <br/> <br/> Alfred Mudge & Son hardcover
