18792934Butler County Democrat Print; Hamilton Ohio; 1879. 1879 Second edition "revised and enlarged". Inscribed and signed on the front free endpaper by the author's grandson Dr. J. S. H. Potter dated Apr 17 1895. A rare Ohio/American medical imprint five OCLC library holdings for this second edition; none for the first edition. Full leather gilt spine lettering 8 3/4 x 6 inches 500 pp. index two small illustrations. Good plus or very good minus. Dr. Potter assisted the escape of a fugitive slave to Canada: "Perhaps the most notable incident in the extended and eventful life of Dr. POTTER was the rescue of a fugitive slave named Jerry in Syracuse New York about 1852. It occurred soon after the fugitive slave law was passed and on the occasion of holding a national anti-slavery convention at that place. Daniel WEBSTER had recently delivered a speech to an immense concourse there threatening that "when this convention thronged the city a noted fugitive would be arrested and taken back to slavery. The United States Government would teach the people that there was potency in law." Four United States marshals had been detailed from as many adjacent cities and the whole police force of Syracuse were ready. Jerry was arrested and placed in chains. About thirty thousand people were waiting to witness the scene. The man with blue eyes red cheeks and brown curly hair with no other semblance of a negro was taken away from the officers by the mob and finally placed by Dr. POTTER in the grounds of a residence inhabited by a stiff pro-slavery man where the most active search failed to find him. After the lapse of a week and search having been made from house to house when detection was imminent the doctor arranged with Jerry's host to drive in with a meat wagon got Jerry in and covered with blankets he drove before the door of the Syracuse House hitched went in with the doctor took cigars and drove out through the city about 4 P.M. in beautiful sunshine no one suspecting the presence of Jerry. After reaching Brewerton seventeen miles; Dr. POTTER took Jerry in his carriage sending the team back and conveyed the fugitive to Mexicoville and by the underground railroad to a small harbor on Lake Ontario whence he obtained a passage on a small sailing vessel to Canada. No more noted fugitive slave case ever occurred in the United States and in it the doctor was the principal agent of success." 3214027. Signed by Authors. 2nd Edition. Hardcover. Good.

1804167591804. This January 1804 session laws volume preserves the enacted statutes of the Massachusetts General Court including the original incorporation of Bradford Academy an institution that became one of the earliest centers of advanced education in the Commonwealth and a foundational site in the history of women's education in New England. Printed under legislative authority the volume opens with the formal constitutional language "BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled" situating the text within the statutory framework established by the 1780 Massachusetts Constitution. Among its enactments is the charter establishing Bradford Academy later recognized as the third oldest post-secondary institution in Massachusetts after Harvard University and Williams College. Initially admitting both male and female students at a time when advanced instruction for women remained severely restricted Bradford evolved by 1836 into the first all-female academy in Massachusetts marking a significant development in the institutionalization of women's academic training in the early republic.<br /> <br /> Acts and Laws. January 12 1804 Session. Boston 1804. Pamphlet volume identified as Vol. 14 of 17 for the legislative session. The title page bears the Commonwealth device and the heading "IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 1804" followed by Chapter I "An act in addition to an act entitled 'An act to incorporate John Codman and others into a company by the name of The Suffolk Insurance Company.'" The volume includes commercial financial and educational incorporation statutes enacted during the session. Pamphlet format.<br /> <br /> Beyond its educational significance the volume documents the expanding legal infrastructure of early American corporate and civic development. Incorporation acts for insurance companies academies and other enterprises reflect Massachusetts' position as a commercial and maritime center in the Federalist era when legislative charters served as the primary mechanism for authorizing financial institutions educational foundations and public improvements. The Bradford Academy act is particularly notable for embedding coeducational authorization within state law at a formative moment in the republic's institutional growth. Early session law pamphlets preserve statutory language prior to later codification and revision offering direct evidence of legislative intent and institutional formation. Edge wear; scattered foxing; small tears along fore-edge; text complete and legible; overall good plus condition. A significant early republic legal printing linking state incorporation practice to the emergence of formalized educational access for women in Massachusetts. unknown

19505036Washington DC: Cortez W. Peters Business School 1950. About very good. 60pp. Original purple wrappers printed in silver. Some soiling and staining to covers minor chipping and rubbing. Small unobtrusive stain to fore-edge of text overall even toning. A seemingly-unrecorded yearbook from the Washington D.C. branch of the Cortez W. Peters Business School the first African-American-owned business school in the United States. The co-educational school was founded in 1834 in the Nation's Capital followed in the next few years by branches in Chicago and Baltimore. The founder Cortez W. Peters taught himself to type as a child and went on to become the first African-American champion of the World's Amateur Typing Contest. Peters' school was one of the first to teach typing to Black students while also offering instruction in shorthand and other clerical skills. The present yearbook begins with a message from Peters which strikes a conciliatory tone in the wake of racial tensions that followed the conclusion of the Second World War: "We naturally resent discrimination lack of opportunities oppression.But on the other hand there are many other values to be considered which should make us tolerant and willing to work out these traditional handicaps generally." This is followed by messages from the dean and class president Eva Itene Brown then portraits of students and faculty a class history a class prophecy class will class poem and twelve pages of group photographs including shots of the men's and women's basketball teams the coronation ball and images featuring students in the classroom. Many of the students both men and women have included words of advice or stated their personal goals which are printed beside their portraits "To be a good typist" "To be a stenographer" and so forth.<br /> <br /> OCLC lists a single copy of three similar yearbooks all under different titles from other years and branches of the school Washington D.C. and Chicago in 1948 and an undated yearbook from Baltimore but not this particular year at the school's home base.

They played a large role in the absurd stories surrounding the Popish Plot and many of Ware's creations continued to pollute reformation history into the 19th 20th and even 21st centuries. Ware was the son of a prominent historian and used his father John's name to legitimize the documents that he "found" - one of the most long lived forgeries was a Cranmer letter at the beginning of part two which entered into Cranmer's works and was preserved for centuries through misattributions by historians such as John Strype and wishful thinking.
