Peter Puzzle-all's New and Improved Riddle Book; or Amusing Companion. Containing some of the best Enigmas Charades Rebusses Anagrams Conundrums &c. ever printed

18191262421819. London: Dean and Munday 1819. 12mo 35 pp. Original printed wrappers. Covers and folding color frontispiece both detached frontispiece with large chip from top left corner some offsetting but generally clean. § A rare children's puzzle book; no copies on OCLC. The publisher's catalogue on lower wrapper lists "Puzzle-all's entertaining Riddle Book" which was published the previous year and is recorded on OCLC in just a single copy at the British Library. Dean and Munday was headed by two sisters Mary Ann and Anna Maria who were born into the Bailey dynasty of publisher's. Their mother Susanna Bailey printed under her own imprint after the death of her husband and after her death in 1810 willed the company solely to her two daughters. "For whatever reason Susan left her sons only a pittance. In her will 'The whole of my business and.everything thereunto belonging' was left to her daughters. By that time both girls had married apprentices from their parent's shop Mr. Thomas Dean Sr. and Mr. William Munday. Nevertheless Susan's will stipulated adamantly that the business was 'for their own sole use and benefit absolutely not to be subject of control of any present or future husband.my two daughters will share equally any profits arising from the printing business.for their own solo use and benefit absolutely independent of any present or future husbands.' Indeed records show that the company Dean & Munday had both sisters Mary Ann Dean and Anna Maria Munday listed as its principals between 1812 and 1840. Perhaps it was because of all the babies the sisters bore or the customs of the early nineteenth century that regardless of Mother Susan's attempts to ensure the female succession of the business it would become identified primarily with the husbands." From Dean & Son Publishers - A Short History: As published by vintagepopupbooks.com in the May 2013 edition of the Movable Book Society Newsletter "Movable Stationary". unknown

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS KINGDOM. Published July 1803 And sent to the officiating Minister of every Parish in England.

180327073London: Printed by Cox Son and Baylis No. 75 Great Queen-Street Lincoln-Inn Fields 1803. 1803. Good. - Octavo 6-3/4 inches high by 4-1/4 inches wide. Softcover unbound self-wraps laid into contemporary plain hand-made brown wraps titled in ink on the front cover. The hand-made covers are soiled and chipped with tiny pieces out from the corners and the head and tail of the spine. 16 pages with a woodcut vignette of the Royal arms illustrating the bottom of the title page. There is some occasional soiling. There are binding stab marks along the inner edge of the leaves and hand-made covers. Good. One of several variants of the first separate edition.Published during the Napoleonic Wars "This violent denunciation of the French was written by Cobbett after the Peace of Amiens which he violently opposed had been shattered by Napoleon's renewal of the war. The pamphlet appeared in the Political Register 30 July 1803 without any indication of its origin. In the same month it was issued by the Government headed with the Royal Arms and sent to the officiating minister of every English and Welsh parish for display and distribution in the churches. It was ascribed to many authors among them John Reeves whose Association republished it . but Cobbett did not disclose his authorship until nearly six years had passed." - M.L. Pearl "William Cobbett: A Bibliographical Account of His Life and Times" page 74 #59. With his ever colorful language Cobbett concludes that "They would besides introduce their own bloody laws with additional severities: they would divide us into separate classes: hem us up in districts; cut off all communication between friends and relations parents and children; which latter they would breed up in their own blasphemous principles; they would affix badges upon us; mark us in the cheek shave our heads split our ears or clothe us in the habit of slaves! . No; we are not so miserably fallen; we cannot in so short a space of time have become so detestably degenerate: we have the strength and the will to repel the hostility to chastise the insolence of the foe. Mighty indeed must be our efforts but mighty also the need. Singly engaged against the tyrants of the earth Britain now attracts the eyes and the hearts of mankind; groaning nations look to her for deliverance; justice liberty and religion are inscribed on her banners; her success will be hailed with the shouts of the universe while tears of admiration and gratitude will bedew the heads of her sons who fall in the glorious contest." Quoted from pages 15-16.The English pamphleteer farmer journalist and radical politician William Cobbett 1763-1835 believed in reforming Parliament and sought to end poverty for farm-laborers. Fleeing England following his attempts to expose corrupt military officers he taught English to Frenchmen in the United States and translated works from French into English. His anti-estiblishment sentiments drove him to write pamphlets which brought him into conflict with Dr. Benjamin Rush and thus forcing him to flee once again this time back to England. At first a supporter of the Tories he soon became a radical. He published the Parliamentary Debates and ran unsuccessfully for office. He was arrested and sentenced to Newgate prison for Treasonous Libel following his published objections to the public flogging of local militiamen which were printed in The Register in 1810. He returned to the newspaper business after his release. As the taxes on newspapers were now so high that few could afford them Cobbett began publishing his Political Register as a pamphlet for half the price. The popularity of his journal among the working class made him a dangerous man and following the passage of the Power of Imprisonment Bill in 1817 Cobbett learned that the government planned to arrest him for sedition. Fleeing yet again to the United States he lived on a farm in Long Island and wrote his "Grammar of the English Language". Returning to England in 1819 he continued publishing his politically controversial works. Once again charged with seditious libel Cobbett conducted his own defense so successfully that he swayed the jury which failed to convict him. He finally won a parliamentary seat that of Oldham in 1832 and was able to fight government corruption from within.

El Album de Mi Padrino Album of My Godfather manuscript cover title

12844Various locations in Cuba and Pennsylvania: contents ca 1973. 25 leaves totaling 40pp. illustrated with thirty black-and-white and sepia-toned photographs with detailed manuscript captions plus seven large clippings from school publications and six additional ephemeral items. Oblong folio. Black cloth with alligator-patterned cloth on front board with manuscript title below a drawn representation of a small pennant for Lehigh University. Covers worn frayed and chipped alligator-style cloth curling a bit along fore edge. A few items loose from adhesive and a few with small tears scattered spotting and soiling. Overall very good condition with fascinating materiality. A lovingly-compiled photograph album and memorial book created by a young woman named Magdalena Sofia Guitart in tribute to her godfather Rafael Genó a Cuban engineer who studied at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. Juan Rafael Genó Rizo was born in Santiago de Cuba in 1883. A doctoral thesis on Cuban architecture found online deems him one of the premiere Art Deco architects of Santiago and the only one to obtain a degree abroad. Genó graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering from Lehigh in 1909 and from the University of Havana in 1913. He died in Miami Florida in 1973. This doting scrapbook was compiled and heavily captioned in Spanish which we hereafter present in translation as a "Memorial which with love and pride I dedicate to my godfather and some of his works; a pale reflection of all the good he has done in his life" by Magdalena Sofia Guitart who was born in 1936 in Santiago and arrived in Miami in 1958. She includes photos of Genó as a baby and a boy of 11 "From a very young age as you can see here my godfather was a little gentleman" as well as in uniform alongside Mexican and Costa Rican comrades at Pennsylvania's Wayne Field. She lauds his "triumphs" and "genius" in "thousands of battles." Genó likely came to the United States following the Spanish-American War during the growth of Cuban immigration resulting from increased American attention of the island country. All of the content in the album is artfully presented within decorative rules or floral borders providing an unusual flair to the presentation. The book displays not only the hand-drawn Lehigh pennant on the cover but also large artistic renditions of the campus and an internal shot of its library clipped from school publications and comparing views from 1873 1909 and 1933 the relevance of Lehigh at the later date is unclear. Additional photographs and decorative designs share the story as "our engineer" returns to Cuba and "begins to demonstrate his knowledge" in the mines of Ponupo. Soon "his hard work integrity and honesty led him to be chosen" for other feats of engineering including "la Iglesia church Los Desamparados constructed by my godfather 1932" and a train terminal in Guantánamo. Images and a photographic clipping laud his renovations of "Colegio La Salle" in 1937. There are also six photos and a clipping showing Genó's work on the altar for the Eucharistic Congress held in Santiago in 1936 during which the original statue of Our Lady of Charity of El Cobre Patroness of Cuba was granted a canonical coronation by Pope Pius XI. The album also holds a clipping naming Genó as president of the Board of Directors of Santiago's Urban Property Center an inauguration ribbon and brochure for the Municipal Food Market in 1950 with which he was also involved and photos of the celebrated engineer later in life. A captivating and carefully-assembled homage created by a Cuban immigrant to the United States honoring a loved one who was educated in Pennsylvania and then returned to his home country to serve as a noted engineer during the first half of the 20th century. contents ca unknown

1867 Freedmen’s Bureau Receipt for $1000 to Build a School on Land Owned by Freedmen in Morganton North Carolina

1867List3419Morganton North Carolina 1867. Manuscript document measuring 5 Â¼ x 8 inches. Near Fine. An 1867 document confirming the receipt of $1000 for building a school for freed African Americans in Morganton North Carolina. The document reads: â€œ$1000 Morganton N.C. Decâ€™r 16th 1867 Received of Major Hannibal D. Norton Sub-assâ€™t Comâ€™r Bureau R.F. A.L. One Thousand dollars in full for erecting a School-building on land purchased by Freedmen in Morganton N.C. as per contract dated August 31 1867. Check No. 1135 on Raleigh Nat Bâ€™k for $1000.00 signed by Bt Lt Col J. A. Claywell / Jesse Strabo Nelson T. P. Johnson C.Q.M. D.O. S.N.C.â€ Brevet Lt. Col. Thomas P. Johnson appears in other North Carolinian Freedmenâ€™s Bureau documents; the abbreviation after his name likely stands for Chief Quartermaster and Disbursing Officer State of North Carolina. The two witnesses Claywell likely James Addison and Nelson were both active in the Methodist church; Claywell was superintendent of the Morganton Methodist Sunday School and Nelson a Methodist reverend. Neither manâ€™s obituary mentions any involvement with the Freedmenâ€™s Bureau. The school is not identified by any name but is mentioned in a March 1868 report by Hannibal Norton the Freedmenâ€™s Bureau agent. The building was located at Union and Water now Bouchelle Streets and hosted three schools day night and Sabbath; had one teacher an African American man named Joseph Nicholas; and was paid for by the studentsâ€™ parents. The report describes difficulty in raising money to pay for more buildings teachers and books and notes that â€œThe public sentiment is adverse to the education of Freedmen and Poor Whites.â€1 Given the areaâ€™s poverty indicated by Nortonâ€™s report the fundraising by formerly enslaved people to buy land for the school must have taken remarkable effort and sacrificeâ€”education was a critical cause for African Americans and significant progress was made during Reconstruction in spite of poverty and violent backlash. 1 â€œNorth Carolina United States recordsâ€ images FamilySearch https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9TC-6PJVview=explore image 104 of 567; United States National Archives and Records Administration.

[EDUCATION -- MINIATURE MUSEUM PHOTOGRAPH ARCHIVE].Biblio.com

A small archive of 52 photographs depicting agricultural and mining commodities originally intended as â€œMiniature Museumâ€ visual aids in conjunction with product sample trays for use in public schools and trade schools in Pennsylvania and surrounding States. Images from Asia Australia the Americas Middle East South Asia and Africa offer indispensable visual views of the growing impact and demands of international trade and colonialism at the beginning of the 20th Century.

192058739Philadelphia PA: The Philadelphia MuseumsCommercial Museum of Philadelphia Exhibits Bureau ca. 1920. Archive of 52 mounted silver gelatin photographs sized 7 x 9 in. mounted on 9.75 x 12 in. gray studio board mounts all imprinted w/ white lettering at lower right corners and captions below images a few have photographerâ€™s original imprints w/in the negative and printed explanatory text on light gray versos minor edgewear rubbing wear to some corners minor bowing to mounts as usual a few boards w/ edgewear wear at corners 1 photo w/ soiling still a VG group of photos w/all retaining bright strong contrast. This archive serves as an excellent surviving visual aid from the â€œMiniature Museumâ€ exhibits created by the Commercial Museum of Philadelphia before and after World War I in order to promote foreign trade and develop international commerce for U.S. products. Sponsored by manufacturers suppliers and many different companies who would supply products to the Commercial Museum these interactive exhibits were intended to illustrate not only useful products of other countries and the advantage for trade in the U.S. but also to underlie important facts of modern industry. Dispatched for free these sample exhibits contained a cupboard at the base in which an educator or lecturer could place photographs and additional exhibits which would revolve on loan for assorted subjects to be taught. The photographs preserved here include those used originally with such trays as the â€œBeverages; Brush Fiber; Carbon; Coconut; Cotton; Cow; Flax; Gums & Resins; Iron; Ores & Metals; Rice; Rope Fiber; Rubber; Silk; Spice; Sugar & Wheat.â€ For instance this unknown instructor ordered for the â€œBeverages Drawer Exhibitâ€ the photographs â€œPicking Teaâ€ in Japan â€œTea Factoryâ€ in Ceylon â€œTea Shipsâ€ in Formosa Taiwan or â€œPicking Coffeeâ€ in Brazil which would have then been used with a series of large folding or rolling maps to be displayed as part of a multi-media presentation. As the cases were heavy and fragile these were sent out in place and further education materials would be dispatched to enhance their use but unfortunately classroom usage resulted in frequent lost and damaged photographs. Also present here are photos for â€œCamels Carrying Charcoalâ€ into Constantinople Turkey; â€œCutting Bananasâ€ in Jamaica; â€œCocoanut Plantationâ€ & â€œMaking Cocoanut Oilâ€ in Ceylon; or the â€œIron Furnaceâ€ in Hankow China or â€œRope Factoryâ€ in Hong Kong. Two of the photos for Mexico include one still retaining the original caption for Charles Betts Waite of a smelter operation in Aguascalientes Mexico and another of the Sirena Mine in Guanajuato Mexico with the photographerâ€™s imprint scratched out in negative but appears to have been a Winfield Scott image. Other images show the bustling harvesting of spices in Ceylon Singapore Jamaica and German East Africa rubber plantations in the Amazon Valley of Brazil and panning gold in Vancouver B.C. and hydraulic gold mining in Otago New Zealand with image by Burton Bros. of Dunedin. The Rice and Silk sections both offer excellent views of both processes in late Meiji and Taisho-era Japan. The Commercial Museum which originally opened in 1897 was the foremost source of international trade knowledge for American manufacturers in the early 20th Century. Slowly other Trade Commissions and Exhibitions supplanted the Commercial Museum and by the 1950â€™s the Miniature Museum visual aid exhibits had become obsolete and many had been broken up or photographs and samples dispersed through use. Although the Museum continued to provide programming and display exhibits until 1994 it was then closed indefinitely. See: Charles R. Toothaker Curator Educational Work of the Commercial Museum of Philadelphia Bulletin 1920 No. 13 Dept. of the Interior Bureau of Education 1921 includes images of assorted variations of the original oak sample cases and even large display of possible photo choices; Katelyn Wolfrom Rise and Fall of the Philadelphia Commercial Museum: How a Forgotten Museum Forever Altered American Industry Independence Seaport Museum Spring 2010.
