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.

185020700Paris 1850. Pencil pen and wash drawing with numerous sub-titles in ink signed "J. Litoux" A fascinating and beautiful architectural drawing - or 'rendu' of basic elements of house construction in cluding walls floors doorways roofs and ceilings.<br/> <br/> A fine drawing from an architectural student at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris the most influential architectural school in existence during much of the 18th century the whole of the 19th century and the first part of the 20th century. 'Students were eligible for the Ecole if they were at least fifteen years old or under thirty. They began with the seconde classe in which they competed in the concours d'émulation. These alternated between an esquisse - a rough sketch for which up to twelve hours was allowed - and a rendu - the large-scale finished drawing for which one to three months were allowed. Two to four years were usually required for a student to accumulate enough credits to enter the première classe. The same system was followed again usually for two to three years after which the student should have accumulated enough credits to compete for the Grand Prix de Rome. The winner of the Grand Prix was entitled to five years study under the auspices of the French Academy in Rome. For each of his first three years he was required to submit an analytical study of an ancient monument. For his fourth year he had to submit a complete reconstruction of a major classical work. For his fifth year he was required to submit an original work designed to a program of his own invention. In the seconde classe the student was required to attend a variety of lectures in theory history and construction and learned to prepare construction drawings. Work was done at ateliers located outside the precincts of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. These were rented and organized by the students themselves and the students had the right to invite a teacher of their own choice to serve as their maître. The teacher himself did not have to be a member of the faculty of the Ecole nor - at least in principle - did he have to be a practicing architect.' Arthur Drexler.

1868160851868. Early Women Education. Autograph Letter Signed on verso of a Handbill regarding Ragged Schools April 13 1868. Rev. H. Newton-Vicar of St. michael's Mission Schools Lant Street writes to a donor about the work of the Ragged schools. Verso is a broadside for "The Lant Street Ragged Schools for Boys and Girls Borough Southwark." Reading in part "These Ragged Schools are placed in the midst of the poorest populationin Southwark in are the largest with about 850 attendances daily and the most important in South London." Attendance shows girls far outnumbered boys in the school "Boys in the Lower School Room.167 Girls in the Upper School Room.243.Afternoon Boys.162 Girls.233. The attendants at the Evening School in which more grown persons of both sexes are taught to read and write number about.65." He has made notes in his hand on the broadside portion in part "Ragged Schools male & female." At the time that this description is being written no copies are recorded in American institutions. OCLC search results are at best an estimate and can vary over time. This rare handbook is considerably more interesting for the first-hand manuscript content regarding the coeducational activities of the school. unknown
