Engraved frontis, headpiece, and initial. Top margins very occasionally a trace dusty, oth- erwise a very good, crisp copy. First edition of this collection of translations into Anglo-Saxon of selections from the Old Testament and Apocrypha, edited by Edward Thwaites. The translations of the Heptateuch and Job are ascribed to Aelfric. The fine frontispiece and headpiece are the work of M. Bur- ghers. “Thwaites’s most important contribution to Anglo-Saxon studies was his 1698 edition of hitherto unedited parts of the Old Testament in Old English, including Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, and the book of Job, together with the apocryphal Judith and the Gospel of Nicodemus. ... Although some of his contemporaries criticized Thwaites’s edition — partly because it included apocryphal material, partly for its lack of a Latin translation and notes — it was for its time a ground-breaking enterprise and one that was not repeated until 1922, when S. J. Crawford edited the Heptateuch afresh, using a different base manuscript. Thwaites’s edition had been based on Bodleian MS Laud misc. 509, and his text was reprinted, with some emendations, by C. W. M. Grein in 1872. Thwaites dedicated his edition to George Hickes, at that time still proscribed as a nonjuror, and this caused some political embarrassment to the vice-chancellor, who threatened to suppress the edition unless Thwaites cut out the dedication. He bluntly refused — and prevailed” – DNB. ESTC R4371. WING B2198. DARLOW & MOULE 1606. $1750. 4.

DESCRIPTORS *Cultural Context; *Educational History; Elementary Secondary Education; Higher Education; *Rhetoric; Student Centered Curriculum; *Writing Instruction; Writing Strategies IDENTIFIERS *Nineteenth Century; Nineteenth Century Rhetoric; Pestalozzi (Johann Heinrich) ABSTRACT This book, the first full-length history of school-based writing instruction, demonstrates that writing instruction in 19th-century American schools was more important than has previously been assumed in the overall history of writing instruction. Drawing on primary materials that have not been considered in previous histories of writing instruction (little-known textbooks and student writing that includes prize-winning essays, journal entries, letters, and articles written for school newspapers), the book shows that in 19th-century American schools the voices of the British rhetoricians that dominated college writing instruction were attenuated by the voice of the Swiss education reformer Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi. It was partly through the influence of Pestalozzi's thought that writing instruction for children in schools became child-centered, not just a replica or imitation of writing instruction in the colleges. These 19th-century schools prefigured some contemporary composition practices: free writing, peer editing, and the use of illustrations as writing prompts.

  • ALH Online Review, Series XIX 1 Christopher N. Phillips, the Hymnal
    ALH Online Review, Series XIX 1 Christopher N. Phillips, The Hymnal: A Reading History (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2018), 252 pp. Reviewed by Paul C. Gutjahr, Indiana University For anyone familiar with the original novel, watching Michael Mann’s popular 1992 motion picture adaptation of James Fenimore Cooper’s The Last of the Mohicans starring Daniel Day-Lewis becomes an exercise in absence, for Mann deletes from his movie the sometimes comic, sometimes heroic figure of the psalm-singing David Gamut. Thinking of David Gamut in relation to Christopher Phillips’s new book, The Hymnal: A Reading History, is instructive for two reasons. It underscores Phillips’s point that the singing of psalms and hymns was ubiquitous in early American culture, and it also points to the fact that attention to the importance and ubiquity of such singing (and printing) has been as absent from scholarly discussions of the era as the figure of David Gamut is in Mann’s film. Phillips has done a great service to those interested in the areas of American poetry, book history, and lived religion in his meticulously researched, broad-reaching study. Following in the footsteps of book historians like Michael Cohen and Anthony Grafton, Phillips is interested in the “social lives” of hymnbooks. He studies them not only as carrier of texts and traditions but as an important “part of the everyday social practices of hundreds of thousands of English-speakers across two centuries” (ix). More importantly, through a systematic study of the use, first, of psalms and then the more elastically biblical poetic musical form of Scripture and scriptural truths commonly known as hymns, Phillips goes a great distance in showing just how pervasive and important hymns, and their books, were in the development of early American print culture more generally.

  • Proposal from Robert Bolts to Catherine II, Empress of Russia, for an Expedition to the Northwest Coast of America
    Proposal from Robert Bolts to Catherine II, Empress of Russia, for an Expedition to the Northwest Coast of America To Her Imperial Majesty, Empress of All the Russias Madam, The Undersigned, currently Lieutenant Colonel in the Armies of His Majesty the Emperor, encouraged by the great wisdom which Your Majesty has always employed to increase the glory of your Monarchy as much as this glory can accord with the true happiness of your subjects, takes the respectful liberty of offering at your feet a Plan directly aimed at these sublime ends, through the following means: 1. By adding to your Empire a most extensive part of the northwest coast of North America not yet claimed or occupied by Europeans. 2. By opening an immense channel of commerce most advantageous to your subjects, to be carried out between the peninsula of Kamchatka and Japan, China, India, eastern Africa, America and all the islands lying between these vast continents. The magnanimity with which Your Majesty enraptures all the civilized nations of the terrestrial Globe prevents me from asserting the merit of this Plan in terms of the modest means required for its execution. I beg only that Your Majesty deign to weigh the consequences in your enlightened and far- seeing judgment; and give me the grace of conveying to me your Imperial determination in sufficient time that I shall not suffer the loss of the next sailing season should your Majesty not find it agreeable to approve my Plan. I have the honour to make my homage at your feet, and to be with the utmost reverence for your Majesty, Madam, your most humble and obedient servant, William Bolts at Vienna November 27, 1782 Proposals humbly submitted to the consideration of Her Imperial Majesty, Empress of All the Russias on an Expedition to the northwest coast of North America by way of Cape Horn.

  • Hymnody of Eastern Pennsylvania German Mennonite Communities: Notenbüchlein (Manuscript Songbooks) from 1780 to 1835
    HYMNODY OF EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN MENNONITE COMMUNITIES: NOTENBÜCHLEIN (MANUSCRIPT SONGBOOKS) FROM 1780 TO 1835 by Suzanne E. Gross Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Maryland in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1994 Advisory Committee: Professor Howard Serwer, Chairman/Advisor Professor Carol Robertson Professor Richard Wexler Professor Laura Youens Professor Hasia Diner ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: HYMNODY OF EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN MENNONITE COMMUNITIES: NOTENBÜCHLEIN (MANUSCRIPT SONGBOOKS) FROM 1780 TO 1835 Suzanne E. Gross, Doctor of Philosophy, 1994 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Howard Serwer, Professor of Music, Musicology Department, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland As part of an effort to maintain their German culture, the late eighteenth-century Mennonites of Eastern Pennsylvania instituted hymn-singing instruction in the elementary community schoolhouse curriculum. Beginning in 1780 (or perhaps earlier), much of the hymn-tune repertoire, previously an oral tradition, was recorded in musical notation in manuscript songbooks (Notenbüchlein) compiled by local schoolmasters in Mennonite communities north of Philadelphia. The practice of giving manuscript songbooks to diligent singing students continued until 1835 or later. These manuscript songbooks are the only extant clue to the hymn repertoire and performance practice of these Mennonite communities at the turn of the nineteenth century. By identifying the tunes that recur most frequently, one can determine the core repertoire of the Franconia Mennonites at this time, a repertoire that, on balance, is strongly pietistic in nature. Musically, the Notenbüchlein document the shift that occured when these Mennonite communities incorporated written transmission into their oral tradition.

  • Square Pegges and Round Robins: Some Mid-Eighteenth Century Numismatic Disputes
    SQUARE PEGGES AND ROUND ROBINS: SOME MID-EIGHTEENTH CENTURY NUMISMATIC DISPUTES H.E. MANVILLE BRITISH Numismatics as a science may fairly be said to have come of age in the mid-eighteenth century with early discussions among antiquarians groping toward solu- tions to some of the more vexatious questions: Who struck the ancient British coins dug up throughout southern England and what was the meaning of the brief inscriptions on some of them? Did the Anglo-Saxons coin any gold? Where were the coins of Richard I and King John? How could one differentiate the coins of William I and II; Henry II and III; Edwards I to III; and Henry IV to the early issue of Henry VII? The debates over these and other problems ranged well into the next century but gradually the path toward historical solutions grew clearer - although not without false turns and dead ends. We shall take a brief look at two of these questions and another that sprang full-blown from a flan split on a single coin and the over-fertile imagination of several mid-century antiquaries. Numismatic studies in the first quarter of the eighteenth century attempted to sort out some of the earliest English issues, as in the Numismata Anglo-Saxonica et Anglo-Danica illustrata of Sir Andrew Fountaine, printed in the Thesaurus of Dr George Hickes in 1705;1 and in Notae in Anglo-Saxonum nummos, published anonymously by Edward Thwaites in 1708.2 A chapter in Ducatus Leodiensis by Ralph Thoresby, first published in 1715, discussed coins in his private collection and was frequently referred to by other writers.3 With the Historical Account of English Money by Stephen Martin Leake, first published anonymously in 1726, a handbook solely on the coins from the Conquest became available.4 Although its original eight octavo plates illustrate fewer than seventy coins to the Restoration, Leake's work lasted through the century - later editions of 1745 and 1793 bringing it up-to-date and including additional plates.
