Department for redress.<br /> <br /> The P.W.

Apart from issues for the whole of India many princely states provinces and other states also had or still have their own revenue stamp issues. <br /> <br /> Before independence Indian revenue stamps were closely modeled on similar designs from Great Britain as is the case with this carriage motif stamp from Jaipur. The stamps were issued to denote various denominations including rupees and annas. An anna or Änna was a currency unit formerly used in British India equal to 1â„16 of a rupee. It was subdivided into four old Paisa or twelve pies thus there were 192 pies in a rupee. When the rupee was decimalized and subdivided into 100 new paise one anna was therefore equivalent to 6.25 paise. This particular stamp was used as evidence of court taxes remitted for property dealings. unknown

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.

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>
18453220094<p><em>4to printed bifolio sheet 24 x 19.5 cm some marks and folds. Addressed to Joseph Hume M.P and signed by Richard Burchet R.W. Herman and W.D. Telfer. </em></p><p>In 1845 Richard Burchett became the ringleader of students protesting to the Board of Trade about the teaching methods at the Government School of Design: this was the first attempt to improve the instruction in the principles and practice of ornamental design. The complaint became so serious that eventually a Parliamentary Committee of Enquiry was instituted in 1846 at which he and others gave evidence. Oddly by that time Burchett had already become a master at the school and so was giving evidence against his own employees to the committee.</p><p>This copy was addressed to the radical Joseph Hume M.P who was a close friend of William Williams another radical M.P. who led the charge of incompetence by the School of Design in the House of Commons. After eight committee meetings it was agreed that the School was not in good shape 'the principles of Ornaments and the practice of original design as applicable to manufactures are not efficiently taught' and 'That a knowledge of manufacturing processes so as to enable the students to unite fitness and practicability in Ornament is not communicated.' Reforms were instituted but not in time for some woefully bad designs to appear at the Great Exhibition of 1851 for all the world to see.</p> [London], 17 Bond Street, Commercial Road. 10th July

183310261833. Black chalk and graphite on lightweight cream wove paper 16 1/8 x 11 1/4 inches 410 x 286 mm the full sheet. Signed titled and dated in sepia ink in the lower-center sheet area. With horizontal folds approximately 1-inch from the sheet edge at each of the four sheets. The drawing appears to have been folded at the sheet edges to fit into a frame. "Inscribed Guillaume hameau del. 29 Janvier 1883." Finn mac Cumail or mac Umaill often anglicized Finn McCool or MacCool is a hero in Irish mythology as well as in later Scottish and Manx folklore. He is the leader of the Fianna bands of young roving hunter-warriors as well as being a seer and poet. He is said to have a magic thumb that bestows him with great wisdom. He is often depicted hunting with his hounds Bran and Sceólang and fighting with his spear and sword. Fionn MacCumhail was transformed into the character "Fingal" in James Macpherson's poem cycle Ossian 1760 which Macpherson claimed was translated out of discovered Ossianic poetry written in the Scottish Gaelic language. <br /> <br /> Fionn MacCumhail features heavily in modern Irish literature. Most notably he makes several appearances in James Joyce's Finnegans Wake 1939 and some have posited that the title taken from the street ballad "Finnegan's Wake" may also be a blend of "Finn again is awake" referring to his eventual awakening to defend Ireland. unknown
