Inscribed on the front pastedown: "In Chancery 8th Circuit. In the matter of the Dissolution of the Buffalo Literary and Scientific Academy. 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.

Calvary Baptist Church emerged during the American Civil War establishing itself in the center of Washington in 1862. It was the locus of the forge for the Northern Baptist Convention in 1907 and calls itself still "the founding church of the American Baptist Convention." Education has been chief among its missions. The origin of the Gardez Class name is not explained but its membership - the 1924 roster appears on page 3 - was exclusively female. It is hard to resist speculation that the name derives from a famous nineteenth-century parable chronicling the life and moral temptations of a young working woman called The Factory Girl or Gardez la Coeur. The fate of the novel's author a surgeon with the 42nd Massachusetts Regiment who had perished at his post in 1863 would surely have resonated with a church whose founding had been so entwined with the Civil War and the Proclamation on 1 January of that year. Bound in gray wrappers splatter stained with blue lettering and images of three steaming soup bowls; bottom corner of front panel chipped; front hinge started. Edges stained chip at fore-corner otherwise pages clean and unmarked. Scarce. OCLC reports one copy; Brown 451; not in Cagle. Press of Judd & Detweiler, Inc unknown books

182765175Charlestown MA 1827. Single sheet folded to 30.5 x 19 cm. 4 pp. including a one page manuscript petition signed by 14 citizens two blank pages and addressed on last. An appeal to the school trustees to make available a suitable building for the instruction of 50 or 60 students composed "of youth of both sexes from the different religious societies in Town" to learn sacred music under the guidance of Col. D. R. Newhall of Boston "a gentleman of acknowledged ability." The petition acknowledges that "sacred music being considered a very important part of public worship when well conducted it would seem that every facility should be granted to those who undertake to obtain a knowledge of the science." Donald Nitz' article "The Norfolk Musical Society 1814-1820: An Episode in the History of Choral Music in New England" Journal of Research in Music Education Vol. 16 No. 4 Winter 1968 pp.319-28 discusses the transformation in American musical culture in the first few decades of the 19th century: "A group of reformers composed of clergymen immigrant European musicians and educated laymen made great efforts to bring about this change" to homophonic orthodox English idiom and away from the more "crudely-wrought but highly original and expressive fuguing tunes of William Billings Daniel Read Jacob French and many others." This transformation of the "sacred musical culture" was brought about through the propagation of musical societies and singing schools in small towns throughout New England <br/><br/> unknown books
