S. 1912" stamped in gilt on upper board. Top edge gilt. Blue marbled endpapers. Affectionate contemporary gift inscription to first blank in brown ink: "Nesta Inglis. With much love. F.M.W. & H.J.W." some pencil scoring to Preface and 'Of Kings Treasuries'. Else clean and tidy. Very good A charming copy of Ruskin's essays affectionately inscribed to Nesta Inglis the pioneering headmistress of the independent girls' school Tudor Hall Banbury; seemingly donated to the school library when she was still a pupil 1912. Ernestine "Nesta" Inglis 1895–1990 was an educator and headmistress "who played a pivotal role in the history of Tudor Hall: attending as a pupil rescuing the School from closure as Headmistress and overseeing the eventual purchase of Wykham Park in 1944. Her vision secured the future of the School". According to a former pupil "Nesta's influence at Tudor was to make it a more progressive school following The Dalton Plan – an educational model that aimed to tailor each student's study to their interests and abilities and to promote independent learning." More recently her talent as a musician was recalled on Desert Island Discs by another former pupil the barrister Nemone Lethbridge. George Allen and Sons hardcover

1811blb02987New York: Bradford & Inskeep and Inskeep & Bradford 1811. 1st. Hardcover. Good. Bound but missing front and rear boards. Spine leather intact and book suprisingly tight.

Most of the plates are only moderately foxed but almost all of the text pages are totally clear of markings or flaws. Despite the lack of boards and a missing plate I believe not sure this is a great copy of an early and important piece of Americana.

St. Leon Frederick Ward Saunders Sue M. Scott Maurice Silingsby Frederick Stanhope Horace B. Staniford John Thornberry Winnie Woodfern and Joseph Wolf. <br /> <br /> The accompanying text added below for context. <br /> <br /> Mr. Stebbings June and Mr. Nutter of Boston who undertook the voyage to Ceylon for the purpose of procuring elephants for Mr. Barnum's Traveling Menagerie have furnished us with some curious descriptions of their adventures in the interior of the island. On their arrival at Point de Galle early in October last they were disappointed in their expectations of procuring tame elephants either from the government authorities or from the temples which own large numbers of them. They then proceeded to Columbo the maritime capital of Ceylon on the western coast and afterwards to the city of Kany in the interior but without succeeding in their object. Very heavy rains had fallen just before their arrival and the elephants were required to assist in mending the roads. In this dilemma the elephant seekers determined to go into the jungles among the wild herds and endeavor to capture a ship load of the animals. This was considered a dangerous undertaking as the rainy season had just set in and the country necessary to be traversed was a dense tropical wilderness with no other roads than the foot-paths from one native village to another. Ceylon is divided nearly into two equal parts by a range of mountains running north and south which divide the periodical rains so that the rainy season changes from one side of the island to the other and the elephants follow it. Mr. June captured the greatest number of his elephants in the northern part of the island near the town of Anarajahpoora. The first process toward capturing the elephants is accurately represented in the engraving below. The natives having ascertained the spots most frequented by the herds construct in the neighborhood a kraal or pen. This is shaped like three sides of a square having an aperture on the fourth side for the entrance of the elephants from each side of which extends a long palisade slanting outwards like the mouth of a funnel. The kraal is made of heavy upright posts planted at a short distance from each other and lashed together by withes. To make them more secure they are stayed by slanting posts set against them on the outside. When the kraal is finished the natives surround a heard and by shouts and the firing of muskets alarm the animals who are urged forward toward the entrance and at last are all secured within the enclosure. In capturing these animals the natives evince much skill and tact. Our artist had thrown much life and spirit into this scene. Another way of taking elephants is sometimes practised. The animals during the heat of the day will sometimes rest himself against a tree and take an hour's doze with great satisfaction. Some of the natives are daring enough at this time to creep through the jungle till they reach his very feet. Provided with a rope the other end of which is made fast to a tree the hind leg of the animal is touched gently and being very sensitive he lifts his foot to shake off the supposed fly and a noose is instantly slipped under. This is repeated with the other foot and the elephant waking up finds himself caught. -Gleason's Pictorial Drawing Room Companion June 21 & 28 1851. Frederick Gleason unknown
