Chaux also played an important role in the barbaric act of sending 132 Nantais to Paris under cruel conditions. On September 3 1794 Carrier was put on trial before the Revolutionary Tribunal. He was found guilty and was executed in December. Pierre Chaux was arrested in July of 1794 for the role he played in the drownings. He appeared before the Tribunal in October 1794 and was convicted. He was the beneficiary of the amnesty of October 26 1795 decided by the Thermidorian Convention. The two pamphlets at hand were published in order to present his case to the convention. The first is signed in print by Chaux at Angers and dated September 19 1795. The second is dated September 26 1795. The pamphlets includes numerous statements by participants in the French revolution including Carrier General Lamberty Foucher and Villers Herault-Sechelles etc. At the head of No. 5 is the statement "L'habitude des bonnes actions exclut l'idee du crime."

THE LONDON VOCABULARY ENGLISH AND LATIN: PUT INTO A NEW METHOD PROPER TO ACQUAINT THE LEARNER WITH THINGS AS WELL AS PURE LATIN WORDS. ADORNED WITH TWENTY-SIX PICTURES. FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS

1797ST15599London: Printed for T. Longman B. Law F. & C. Rivington R. Baldwin G. & T. Wilkie and J. Walker 1797. 21st Edition. 150 x 93 mm. 5 7/8 x 3 5/8". viii 123 1 ads pp. Contemporary brown burlap flat spine. With allegorical vignette on title page and 25 half-page woodcuts illustrating items from the vocabulary lists. Pastedowns with traces of book label removal. ◆Spine slightly cocked short split to cloth on rear joint a little fraying at ends of spine but the insubstantial binding surprisingly solid. Two small stains to each pastedown where labels removed title page lightly browned leaves a shade less than bright due to paper quality other minor imperfections but an excellent copy internally clean and fresh with comfortable margins. All in all remarkably well preserved. First issued around 1711 this is the best-selling work of James Greenwood 1683-1737 an influential grammarian and a proponent of women's education. Arranged into 33 chapters the book divides vocabulary lists by topic beginning with "things" and proceeding through minerals plants animals humans and diseases to everyday items affairs of church and state the law the military and finally to the various parts of speech from verbs to conjunctions. Widely used the work was revised and reprinted until at least 1828. At about the time this work was originally issued Greenwood had founded a school in Essex where he accepted girls as well as boys as pupils; he was later recruited to serve as assistant headmaster at St. Paul's School in London. This volume is of particular interest because of its rarely seen utilitarian period binding. We would have expected it to have been worn to shreds long ago but against the odds it has withstood hard use by young pupils remarkably well and it gives us a glimpse of an important element of the English schoolroom at the turn of the 19th century.

"Jane Collier's An Essay on the Art of Ingeniously Tormenting 1753 a conduct book was her first work. The Essay operates as a satirical advice book on how to nag and it was modeled after Jonathan Swift's satirical essays. The work is intended to "teach" a reader the various methods for "teasing and mortifying" one's acquaintances. It is divided into two sections that are organized for "advice" to specific groups and it is followed by "General Rules" for all people to follow. / The Essay is modeled on Jonathan Swift's satire Instructions to Servants 1746 and even mentions Swift directly. However Collier reverses the roles in Swift's satire and instead writes from a servant's perspective in the first book. / To the master and mistresses the narrator claims that "you are no true lover of the noble game of Tormenting if a good dinner or any other convenience or enjoyment can give you half the pleasure as the teasing and mortifying a good industrious servant who has done her very best to please you." / To wives she tells them to "Be out of humour when your husband brings company home: be angry if he goes abroad without you; and troublesome if he takes you with him." When speaking to friends she argues that "injuries go nearest to us that we neither deserve nor expect." Added to the work are "General Rules for plaguing all your acquaintance; with the description of a party of pleasure" along with a "Conclusion" and "A Fable". As a general rule the narrator says "By all means avoid an evenness of behaviour. Be sometimes extremely glad to see people; and at other times let your behaviour be hardly within the rules of good breeding." / Betty Rizzo described the work as the "best-known generic satire written in the eighteenth century by a woman." The Battesins stated that Collier was "an author of wit and spirit". Some critics find it interesting that Collier would "yoke" Richardson with those that he "felt especial antipathy" with: Swift and Fielding. Katherine Craik claims the work as "a courageous social satire published at a time when satires were usually written by and for men.""3214045. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Good. Printed for A.

William Camden 1551-1623 was an English antiquary and historian who during the reign of Queen Elizabeth travelled throughout England collecting material for 'Britannia' which was first published in 1586. Initially written in Latin it is a survey of the British islands; its archaeology geography institutions monetary system and inhabitants 'chiefly intended for the instruction of foreigners' or so Gibson states in his Preface to this edition. It was first translated into English in 1610 probably under Camden's direction see Ency. Brit. 11th vol. V p. 101. Gibson's revision was first published in 1695. Our set is the undated 'Second Edition' but by comparing particulars with available bibliographical resources we believe it was published in 1722. Printing and the Mind of Man 101.

[GALILEIANA / JESUIT EDUCATION] / MARCHELLI, GiovanniBiblio.com

Trattato del Compasso di Proporzione.

17595386Milan: Giuseppe Galeazzi 1759. Hardcover. Near Fine. 8vo 20.2 x 14.4 cm. XXII pp. 352 pp. 8 ff. with 1 large 40 x 50 cm folding plate containing 5 illustrations; title-page printed in red and black engraved device on title. Bound in contemporary publisher's binding title in ink on spine. Minor edge wear minor staining to lower cover. Quires C and E loosening internally very fresh and clean retaining deckle at fore-edge and bottom edge toning to plate marginal paper flaw and rear reinforcement of crease to plate otherwise an excellent copy. Rare first and sole edition of this treatise on the proportional compass written by the Jesuit Giovanni Marchelli. The work was expressly written for the use of Marchelli's mathematics pupils in the Jesuit College of Milan and thus provides interesting evidence for the use of scientific instruments in Jesuit education. The text offers an advanced understanding of Galileo's landmark instrument and coming from a Jesuit it is perhaps notable that Galileo's "invention" of the instrument is so candidly celebrated. The proportional compass or 'sector' in fact combines two separate instruments one for making observations by adding a quadrant to its arms the other to calculate various measures like proportion trigonometry and squares and cube roots. Its several scales permit easy and direct solutions for problems in surveying gunnery and navigation. Conceived as a universal instrument the device was adapted for a variety of pedagogical purposes far more diverse than Galileo's sector ranging from pure geometry to such practical operations as taking measurements for the architectural orders p. 11 converting currency and calculating interest p. 42 performing various 'rule-of-three' operations such as the dissolution of business partnerships p. 53 surveying passim and the construction of Napier tables p. 73. The compass scales are well illustrated and the text includes tables giving the positions of the various markings. The large folding plate provides diagrams "for constructing Galileo's quadrant" that show with great refinement exactly where the markings on the quadrant's arm and tangent are to be engraved. The final chapter deals with military problems such as the determination of the caliber of cannon balls. OCLC locates copies at Adler Planetarium Michigan Oklahoma Woodstock Theological.

To the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania the Petition of . blank . That your Petitioners have seen the bills published respecting the Erection of Schools where the Children of the poor may be instructed gratis . we humbly pray that our Schools . may be endowed with a full share and portion of the monies raised by a Tax

1797372917Philadelphia 1797. 1p. plus integral blank. Bifolium. Unbound. Old folds minor separations at fold repaired. Provenance: General Theological Seminary unmarked. 1p. plus integral blank. Bifolium. In 1797 the Pennsylvania Senate passed a bill related to establishing schools throughout the Commonwealth for public education. This petition here un-accomplished but designed for use by various denominational groups to collect signatures notes the passage of the legislation and argues that various religious group have already established schools that provide both secular and religious education: "We are convinced that Schools ought to be established but we are fully persuaded that their establishment should be conducted and regulated in such a manner that they may not become an injury nuisance or detriment to those good citizens of this State who as members of certain religious societies conscientiously think it their duty not only to confer useful knowledge upon their children but also to instruct them in the religious principles peculiar to themselves." The petition continues arguing that public funds earmarked for education should be provided for their denominational schools: "Should your Honourable House institute Schools according to the design expressed in the bills above mentioned then we humbly pray that our schools which are already erected or may hereafter be erected in and by any of the Congregations of our profession in this State may be endowed with a full share and portion of the monies to be raised by a Tax and of the funds to be appropriated to any of the Schools contemplated by the said bills and with this provision that such our Schools shall remain under the sold inspection and direction of persons appointed by our respective Congregations for that purpose." The petition concludes: "As the object of our petition is proper and just and founded on the principles of religious Liberty guaranteed by the Constitution of this State we have every right and reason to expect that our request will be granted: And we shall ever pray." This is the only example of this petition recorded by ESTC and we cannot locate an earlier example of a petition by a denominational group for public funding of religious education in the United States.
