Oblong 8vo 67 leaves with pro-forma engraved forms on rectos without accomplishment; quarter old sheep hinges split and boards worn and nearly loose old non-original label mostly perished on front board final four leaves reappropriated as a scrapbook for local recipes the rest of the certificates generally fine. 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.
