188116923<p>Philadelphia: 1881 First edition. The petition was presented to the Department of Education of the City of Philadelphia on March 8 1881. . Original buff paper wrappers with printed title. . Octavo. Wrappers worn away at spine though binding holds firm. Dust soiling to wrappers. Contemporary color pencil signature at top margin of front cover. Small open tear to corner of first leaf at gutter. A very good copy of a scarce item concerning impartial education in schools. Anna Scull 1832 - the principal of the Hunter Girls' Grammar School in Philadelphia was accused by several parents of criticizing Catholicism and promoting the Lutheran Reformation during lessons she taught. The present work contains testimonies by parents and students alleging that Scull had "attacked vilified and abused the faith religion and belief" of Catholic students p. 52. She was also accused of vocally favoring Lutheranism in class by discussing Luther's opposition to the sale of indulgences by Pope Leo X p. 59. The Board of the Department of Education ultimately dismissed the case against Scull stating that they could not "recommend such deference to the religious zeal of any denomination or denominations as would prevent the impartial teaching in our public schools of the prominent facts of history" p. 159.</p>

Produced and proven before me as "Stock scrip book" "F" on hearing June 24 1846" The Buffalo High School Association later the Buffalo Literary and Scientific Academy was established in 1827 with ambitious plans for providing a "scientifick literary and military academy." It offered courses in "topography construction of maps navigation fencing ethicks natural theology evidences of Christianity and metaphysicks." Rates for attendance were high and the level of matriculation could not sustain the school. In 1863 Oliver G. Steele wrote "It was the great pet of the city. It was however too expensive for the time failing to reach the great body of our people; and changes of teachers and policy soon brought its career to a close." An act to dissolve the corporation and to provide for the just disposition of the property was passed in 1846.

Nelligan would later become the most celebrated French Canadian poet of his generation and early printed appearances of his work are increasingly sought after by collectors and institutions alike. Beyond Nelligan the volume documents a defining moment in Quebec literary history capturing the emergence of a modern poetic voice at the turn of the 20th century. Copies surviving in contemporary fine bindings such as the present example are becoming notably scarce on the market.</p> Montréal, Eusèbe Sénécal & Cie, Imprimeurs-Éditeurs, 1900.
