18070001802ALLONBY ENGLAND. Fair. 1807. On offer is a superb early 19th Century mathematics and complex arithmetic ciphering book. There are over 320 pages of text and titles in a lovely calligraphic hand including a folding table all in pen and ink. Identified as having belonged to the Costin Family of Allonby England this is believed to be a school book from the highly noted Quaker School at Wigton dated by paper watermarked 1807.

Some of the 8 x 10 inch initial pages maybe missing there is old damp/water staining to some but not all of the pages but overall Fair. BACKGROUND NOTES: Wikipedia: Wigton School also called Brookfield School or Friends' School was a private boarding school on the outskirts of Wigton Cumbria. The school was opened on 4 September 1815 by the Society of Friends Quakers for Cumberland and Northumberland. The initial student intake was 9 boys and 8 girls in premises at Highmoor in existing buildings. These first buildings were leased at an annual rent of 27 guineas. In 1826 the main school site opened at Brookfield commissioned by the Society of Friends. A London architect designed the buildings in classic Georgian style. The school motto was "We seek the truth." The school badge comprised a shield with a green background and diagonal river to represent the school's rural location with a beck small brook running through the grounds. One one side of the diagonal was a lamp to represent knowledge. On the other side was a set of scales to represent fairness and tolerance key Quaker virtues. The school expanded over the years. Student numbers peaked in the mid-1970s at around 210. Following the peak student numbers declined and in 1984 the school closed. The school's historic main building was destroyed by fire in 1989.; Manuscript; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF BROOKFIELD SCHOOL FRIENDS' SCHOOL COSTIN FAMILY ALLONBY ENGLAND BRITISH EDUCATION QUAKER EDUCATION WIGTON SCHOOL GEOMETRY ALGEBRA CALCULUS STATISTICS SCIENTIFIC NOTATIONS MATHEMATICAL EQUATIONS CYPHERING TRIGONOMETRY CALLIGRAPHY MATHEMATICS HANDWRITING PENMANSHIP ARITHMETIC CIPHERING CYPHERING EDUCATION TEACHING MATHEMATICAL COMPLEX MATHEMATICS STATISTICS COMPLEX EQUATIONS SCIENTIFIC NOTATIONS 19TH CENTURY HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH DIARY JOURNAL LOG KEEPSAKE WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS DIARIES JOURNALS LOGS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL PERSONAL HISTORY ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . unknown

18230010195Bordeaux LE Bouscat. Good with no dust jacket. 1823. Ephemera. On offer is an outstanding example of a complete French legal agreement dating from the years immediately following the fall of Napoleon Bonaparte. It was drafted in Bordeaux for a family group that lived in the neighbouring village of Le Bouscat. Context indicates that the document lays out an agreement to distribute items from two parents to a group of siblings possibly a will. The document begins with a listing of the parties involved: Par devant Jean Dechamet son cet collegue notaries a Bordeaux soussignies Ont comparu Marie Raymond epouse assistee et autorisee de Guilbert Dupuis rouleur avec qui elle demeure commune de Bouscat pret Bordeaux d'un part; Anne Raymond fille majeure demeurant au meme lieu d'autre part; Pierre Raymond charpentier de haute futaie habitant egalement au Bouscat d'autre part; Pascal Raymond charpentier de haute futaie habitant au meme endrois d'autre part; et Bertrand Raymond aussi charpentier de haute futaie demeurent a Bordeaux place croix de Leguey No encore d'autre part.

18630002007Baltimore Maryland MD 1863. On offer is a fascinating historic original manuscript letter written by an unknown elderly Baltimore man and likely a member of the Adams family and related to Thomas Boylston Adams September 15 1772 - March 13 1832 the third and youngest son of John and Abigail Smith Adams in response to a request he write of his life and times in New York City. The letter was part of a greater group from the Thomas Boylston Adams papers. The writer relates what an active involved and intelligent teenager and young man experienced in the heady historic days of New York City from 1791 to the turn of the Century. The author gives a real person's view of the French Revolution from the American perspective the feeling of the 'street' to Jacobin views and much more of the politics of the era. The 87 year old man begins "You wish me to communicate for publication such facts and information in regard to Men and things in the City & State of New York as I may from my residence in that City have been connected with or acquired a knowledge of in the early period of my long life." It goes on in part: "Having an ardent desire to see General Washington I soon found my way to Cherry Steer and the Franklin House near Pearl Street where he resided." "It was I think in 1793 or certainly soon after that Francis who had been General Washington's Steward established on or near the Battery his celebrated Ice Cream & Cake house probably the first public house of its kind in the United States." "In his speech at the opening of Congress 1795 the President General Washington.said "Government founded upon the genuine principles of rational liberty and with mild and wholesome laws was it too much to say that our Country exhibited a spectacle of National Happiness never surpassed if ever before equalled."

1871List3241Rhode Island Massachusetts and New York 1871. Thirty-two letters two apparently missing final pages; with fifteen pages of incomplete letter material. Excellent to Near Fine. Letters from some of the young ladies of the Hazard family primarily Gertrude Minturn 1843–1877 Anna Peace 1845–1868 and Esther Robinson 1848–d. Hazard with some from other family and friends. The family was descended from Thomas Hazard one of the founding settlers of Newport Rhode Island.1<br /> <br /> The girls were educated and often write from school; Anna and Esther attend the ‘Friends School’ in Providence which is probably the Moses Brown School and Gertrude attends Dr. Dio Lewis’s School for Young Ladies in Lexington Massachusetts. Founded by Diocletian Lewis a temperance and physical culture advocate the school incorporated his exercise system developed to condition weaker individuals. Gertrude describes a regimen of thirty minutes of walking plus an hour and a half of exercise and discusses Dr. Lewis:<br /> <br /> “Dr Lewis gives familiar lectures on any subject which the scholars propose. He is a very pleasant genial man and takes part in the games & dancing with the greatest spirit. There are about 20 scholars. Some of them board in the village but are subject to the rules of the school. This building is very large and is mostly occupied by the patients of Dr Lewis’ ‘Movement Cures’ to whom most of his time is devoted. The scholars and patients associate together. Indeed we are under very little constraint the teachers leaving our actions to be regulated by our own sense of propriety; and they seldom find occasion to reprove the scholars for misdemeanors.†November 23 1864<br /> <br /> Meanwhile Anna and Esther’s education is more on the religious side; Esther writes:<br /> <br /> “We have not been to meeting very often since we returned from our lovely visit to Newport but the first Sunday morning I did think all the time of it as I said I was going to. We were edified this morning by a sermon from Elizabeth Meader or rather a torrent of noise so that I am nearly deafened now. I don’t think I ever heard a more horrible combination of sounds from the mouth of any human being.†January 8 1865<br /> <br /> Though speaking in tongues is most strongly associated with Pentecostalism it is not unheard of in Quakerism. In his book of genealogy and reflections the girls’ father Thomas Hazard 1797–1886 connects the family’s “strong religious tendencies†to his own interest in spiritualism.2 This interest in mediumship comes up several times in the letters first in 1864 when one of the girls reports that “Pa writes us that at a circle which he attended a few days ago a clairvoyant medium described our house at Vaucluse perfectly†February 24 1864 and later when one of the girls attends a circle with their father in Philadelphia:<br /> <br /> “Yesterday morning Pa & I had a sitting with a Mrs. Robinson a trance speaking medium. The communication from mother was the most beautiful I ever heard. She spoke to us just as she used to on earth using the same expressions. It seemed as if I could almost see her – we are going again on Monday.†February 8 1867<br /> <br /> That is the pair spoke to Frances Minturn Hazard who had died in 1854.<br /> <br /> Of interest to researchers of the Hazard family and Rhode Island Quakers.<br /> <br /> 1 Caroline Elizabeth Robinson The Hazard Family of Rhode Island 1635–1894 Printed for the Author 1896.<br /> 2 Thomas R.
