189110008Seneca Falls NY 1891. No Binding. Near Fine. 3-inch diameter globe anchored in magnifying glass as issued; 5 ½ inches total height. Color-printed wax-engraved gores; some fading of place names a few repair in extreme southern portion but overall remarkably little wear; overall excellent condition. An unrecorded delightful cartographic curiosity: a very good quality miniature globe with a magnifying paperweight as its base. Only two other globes by the American Globe and Supply Company are known: a six-inch terrestrial recorded by Rumsey dated 1892 and an eight-inch terrestrial cited in Rittenhouse dated 1891; see below. This Seneca Falls New York company was one of several for which Rand McNally supplied gores for the globes it produced. Rand McNally did not issue its first globe until 1887. Very nice condition for an object of this kind. Cf. Rumsey 5120; Rittenhouse Vol. 2 No. 1 p. 23. unknown books

Newton-Vicar of St. michael's Mission Schools Lant Street writes to a donor about the work of the Ragged schools.

This rare handbill is absent from OCLC Worldcat and considerably more interesting for the first-hand manuscript content regarding the coeducational activities of the school. unknown books
1943277008Kamnik district Slovenia: Tehnika RK VI 1943. 30pp. 8vo mimeographed text with images original tan wrappers with mimeographed cover.<br/><br/> This rare surviving pamphlet from World War II was produced by the Yugoslav Partisans the most accomplished armed resistance movement against the Axis occupation of Europe. Starting out as a guerilla group the Partisans soon created a complete underground society based on Communist principles including schools government and medical institutions financial systems and publishing presses. This pamphlet produced by one such press likely hidden in the mountains or forests of Slovenia addresses an emergent need in such a new clandestine society: that for maps. It proceeds in logical order: geographical vocabulary instructions for making field maps and later more sophisticated and symbolic drafting techniques. Within this technical know-how it also communicates tactical military advice that the Partisan guerillas employed in their battles with Axis armies. This tactical quality of the publication is most in evidence in the pamphlets many striking diagrams which demonstrate the importance of visual knowledge in situations of survival.<BR><BR>This pamphlet was one of many Partisan publications designed to educate protect and encourage members of the movement. It is particularly fascinating for its simple means of production since the secrecy of Partisan operations limited them to mechanical methods such as mimeographs--in witness here--as well as heliotypes linocuts and typewriting. Given its fragility the pamphlet is in excellent condition with clean text. Slight stains and some very small tears in margins. As one of the few Partisan publications on cartography this pamphlet is a rare and fascinating record of the World War II resistance.<br/><br/> Tehnika RK VI unknown books

196222074South Norwalk CT: T. O'Toole & Sons. Very Good. 1962. Hardcover. padded hard covers; no dust jacket as issued light external soiling minor annotations within no autographs or inscriptions. B&W photographs Typical high school yearbook of the period with individual portrait photos of faculty staff and senior class members -- in fact it very much is the SENIOR class yearbook with the lower classfolk not even rating a mention although many of them are presumably pictured in some of the many many group photos of clubs sports teams etc. There is no personalization in this particular copy not even an ownership signature although whoever owned it was keeping track of one thing for at least a few years after graduation: written next to about 15 or so of the senior class pictures is the single annotation "Married." Also not surprisingly integration had barely gotten a toehold in Norwalk: out of the 335 senior class members depicted there are four African-American students and one Asian guy. . T.

187029538Montgomery Alabama: John G. Stokes & Co. State Printers 1870. 7 1 blank pp. Stitched in original printed green wrappers. Light old folds wrappers lightly spotted Very Good. Contemporary inscription at head of front wrapper "Respects of G. Horton Mobile." A Bostonian who had moved to Mobile as a young man Horton was Mayor of Mobile at this time. Previously he had been an advocate of public education and had served on Mobile's school board. During the Civil War he was jailed for Unionist sympathies. During Reconstruction his advocacy of civil rights placed his life in constant danger.<br/><br/> The Report is a chapter in Alabama's bitter Reconstruction strife. It attacks Dr. N.B. Cloud State Superintendent of Public Instruction who was regarded by unreconstructed Alabamans as a Scalawag for his support of Reconstruction and the Republican Party. The Report also attacks G.L. Putnam whom Cloud had named Mobile's superintendent of education an appointment which other Mobile educators refused to recognize. Cloud brokered a compromise-- for which he lacked authority-- by making Putnam superintendent of Emerson College known as the 'Blue School' a Negro school run by the American Missionary Association. The Report accuses Cloud and Putnam of illegally diverting public funds to the support of the Blue School.<br/>Ellison 1597. OCLC locates five copies as of August 2014 under two accession numbers.
