Very good.</p><p>Second edition published in the same year as the first.</p><p>From the library of Captain Colin Campbell of Kilberry with his armorial bookplate with the motto "Ne Oublie Pas" signed "R.M." R. Mountaine on the front pastedown and the ownership names of "Kilberry" and "Minard" handwritten at the head of the title page.</p><p>"CAMPBELL COLIN d. 1782 of Kilberry major of 100th foot obtained an unenviable notoriety in consequence of a fatal assault committed by him on Captain John McKaarg or Macharg a brother officer while stationed at the island of Martinico in 1762. The cause of difference is said to have originated at Jersey where Campbell at that time major-commandant of the 100th foot was obliged to take the payment of McKaarg's company out of his hands owing to the latter's pecuniary difficulties. On the arrival of the regiment at Martinico McKaarg took every opportunity of vilifying Campbell who demanded in writing an explanation. McKaarg replied in a curt letter. Campbell immediately proceeded to McKaarg's tent armed with a bayonet and a small-sword and demanded satisfaction. McKaarg having a broad sword only endeavoured to evade a meeting. Thereupon Campbell struck him several times with his sword. McKaarg was compelled by his antagonist to beg for his life and immediately expired. He had received eleven wounds two of which were mortal. Campbell was arrested and on 6 April 1762 was tried for murder by a general court-martial held at Fort Royal. He endeavoured to prove that McKaarg had fallen in a fair duel. On 14 April the court adjudged Campbell to be cashiered and declared him incapable of serving his majesty in any military employment whatsoever. Pending the king's consideration of the sentence Campbell escaped from the island. Owing to some informalities the proceedings were not confirmed but he was immediately dismissed from the army. . The relatives of Captain McKaarg subsequently brought an action of assythment against Campbell and ultimately damages. were awarded to them. Campbell chiefly resided in Edinburgh where he attracted notice by his foppery and was well known as an antiquated old beau. In the summer he visited Buxton and the other fashionable watering-places of the day. He died unmarried at Edinburgh in 1782 and his estate at Kilberry in Argyllshire descended to his nephew." Quoted from the Dictionary of National Biography volume 8 page 349. The Oxford Dictionary of Biography gives Campbell's death date as 1798.</p><p>"The action of assythment is now no more than a legal antiquity but in 1767 we find its scope and character were the subject of much discussion in the Court. It appears that while the 100th Regiment of Foot had been fighting the French in Martinique Captain Colin Campbell of Kilberry had killed Captain Macharg a brother officer in a quarrel. For this offence he was cashiered by sentence of court-martial. Captain Macharg's relatives brought an action of assythment in the Court of Session. In the defence of Captain Campbell it was pled that assythment was a proceeding for infliction of a fine and not for payment of damages and that Captain Campbell having already been tried and punished could be liable to no further legal proceedings for the same offence. Assythment was said apparently with reason to have been instituted to take the place of the right of private vengeance which early law allowed to the relatives of a murdered man and to have been regarded more as a criminal penalty than as a civil reparation. His counsel quoted Balfour's Practicks to the effect that assythment was paid 'to the kin bairins and freindis in contentation of their damnage and for pacifying of their rancor' and Bankton who had laid it down that assythment was given to the wife and nearest. of-kin 'that they might be reconciled to the manslayer.' Captain Macharg's relatives however were successful in maintaining on the other hand that assythment was an action for payment of reparation and not of a fine and the Court remitted to the Lord Ordinary to fix the amount."

In 1917 the Smith-Hughes Act of authorized federal funding for vocational schools in the United States. These institutions usually a replacement for traditional high school were established to divert children from low-income families into labor roles often in factories while wealthier children went on to universities. The vocational education movement was prompted in large part by rapid industrialization resulting in a shortage of skilled labor in factories at the same time that more immigrant families were moving into cities and sending their children to public schools. In addition just a year after the passing of the Smith-Hughes Act Mississippi became last state to enact a compulsory education law which caused an additional influx of students to public schools.

190012717Pipestone Mn 1900. Sepia-toned photograph 4.75 x 6.75 inches mounted on a gray sheet of paper manuscript caption reading "Indian school at Pipestone Minn 1900." Removed from an album. Photograph in excellent shape. Very good. A striking group photograph picturing a young teacher and fifty-five of his male Native American students posed in front of the imposing Boy's Residential Building at the Pipestone Indian Training School in 1900. The students appear to range from around five years of age to their mid-teens all dressed in similar pants white shirts and dark jackets. According to Minnesota's Carleton College: "In the 1890s the U.S. built the Pipestone Indian Training School on reserved quarry land and legal conflict soon followed. The Pipestone Indian Training School was one of many boarding schools that separated Native children from kin and land in order to assimilate them into American economy and society. These schools came about as attitudes towards the 'correct' treatment of Native people turned towards assimilation with the passage of the Dawes Severalty Act of 1887. Many Native people resisted boarding schools but the Pipestone Indian School inspired particularly active resistance for two reasons. First it was built illegally on Yankton Sioux reservation land. Second during the school's tenure management of the quarries fell largely to the white superintendent of the school instead of the Yankton people. unknown

From the preface by the translator William Cobbett: "To the Citizens of the United States: What is called common report is always contradictory and of course produces a conflict of opinions; the reader acquires no solid information he becomes the dupe of a faction or finds himself in total uncertainty. The fall of the celebrated man who is the subject of these sheets has spread has spread universal astonishment; the causes of it have been greedily enquired into and fame with her double tongue has sported with the credulity of her hearers. You the citizens of America have been excited to this enquiry by something more than mere curiosity and for that reason have been more exposed to deception. To do justice to La Fayette as well as to those who have persecuted him in the minds of a people who feel such a lively interest in every thing that concerns the honor and welfare of the French nation. I present the public with the following pieces which contain all that can be said upon the subject. In the notes I have been obliged to subjoin I have cautiously avoided hinting an opinion; I have every where observed the most scrupulous impartiality and if the reader would arrive at truth he must do the same. The speeches of Mr. Brissot and Mr. Vaublanc considered as orations merely are perhaps equal if not superior to any ever delivered in the National Assembly. As to the translation if it have any merit it is in rendering faithfully the sense of the original." 3214006. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Good. Printed by John Parker; Philadelphia; 1793. paperback

Apart from a copy in the Duke University Library bound without the titled front covers we have been unable to locate any other existing copy either bound or in the original parts.<p>The sixth part ends with the Anglo-Saxons and the Battle of Hastings.<p>Printed by T.C. Savill at 4 Chandos Street for David Bogue.<p>"There has long been an outcty amongst the graver class of critics that historical novels are a great evil inasmuch as they misrepresent admitted facts: yet in spite of this denouncement they are still written and read while history itself is comparatively neglected. Nor is the reason at all difficult to comprehend; the dry hard matter-of-fact style which the generality of historical writers consider it necessary to adopt has to young and imaginative minds somewhat of a forbidding appearance. This evil can only be remedied by bringing the light and popular style in which these works are composed to bear upon history-- to describe its important truths in a more picturesque and familiar manner-- to bring out the actors and the scenery more boldly before the eye of the reader-- to throw more of a poetical spirit into the narrative-- and to give it all the fascination of fiction without altering a single recorded truth." Quoted from the "Advertisement" printed on the rear cover of each part.<p>Critics appear to have differed in their opinion of Thomas Miller's stated aim. The Church of England Quarterly Review Vol. 21 for the year 1847 states that "We may add that the author appears to have selected the safest authorities for his facts and has thrown over the dryness of history the grace without the exaggeration of poetry. This work is liberally embellished--two engravings to the number-- and the whole affair as regards typography and arrangement worthy of the originality of the undertaking."<p>Commenting on the author's "Advertisement" the June 5th 1847 edition of "The Spectator" proclaims "If this were done sparingly and with original knowledge under the guidance of a severe taste life and variety might be given to a work without losing sight of its nature; which is recorded history not imaginary description of fluent rethoric. Indeed when they thought the case required it Sanest Livy Arnold and other historians have fulfilled Mr. Miller's theory as a matter of course. In his own development of it he seems to us more likely to substitute fanciful additions and a dreamy sort of reverie consisting half of imagined facts and half of mere opinions than to rise to the height he rums at."<p>An advertisement in the January 1 1847 "Publishers' circular and booksellers' record" states that the finished work will "form three handsome volumes". Nonetheless it may well be that these first six parts were all that were published. London: David Bogue, 1847. paperback
