[African-American Nursing]: CITY OF NEW YORK HARLEM HOSPI- TAL H.H.S.N. 1959 [cover title]. [New York. 1959]. 64pp. Quarto. Red textured cloth over padded boards, front cover decoratively stamped in gilt. Minor edge wear. Occasional ink notations by original owner, else internally clean. Very good. Yearbook commemorating the graduation year for the Harlem Hospital School of Nursing’s Class of 1959. This copy was owned by graduating nursing student Joan A. Ryan, with her name stamped in gilt on the front cover. The initials in the cover title stand for Harlem Hospital School of Nursing. The annual is pro- fusely illustrated with photographs and photo-collages of the nurses-in-training, including separate group shots of classes, instructors, supervisors, the yearbook committee, the head nurses, the Glee Club, and more. The main section of indi- vidual senior class photographs is arranged in alphabetical order. There are also sections commensurate with yearbooks, such as remembrances, sorority photos, the Bible Club, cartoons drawn by the students, prophecies of future success for each student, and more. The last section, about sixteen pages, is devoted to well- wishes from friends and local advertisements, providing information on businesses for the area around Harlem Hospital during this time Some of the earlier sections of the yearbook are annotated in blue ink by the original owner, Joan Ryan, identifying staff members and fellow students. In the section of graduation photographs, she comments on the marital and parental status of her fellow graduates. For instance, under Ida M. Jackman’s name Ryan writes: “Engaged Married 1 Child.” She evidently kept track of her fellow gradu- ates over the course of time. She does not write anything below her own picture, which has a printed quote from Shakespeare beneath it. A wonderful memento of the medical education of African-American women in Harlem in the early years of the Civil Rights movement, owned and annotated by one of the graduates. $350. Fundraising Pamphlet Printed by African-American and Native-American Students 2. [African-American Education]: [Frissell, Hollis B.]: THE HAMPTON NORMAL AND AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTE AND ITS WORK FOR NEGRO AND INDIAN YOUTH....HAMPTON’S APPEAL TO THE CHRIS- TIAN ENDEAVOR SOCIETY [wrapper title and inside front cover text]. [Hampton, Va.: Printed by students of the Institute, n.d., but 1894]. 8pp. Small octavo. Original pictorial self-wrappers. Minor soiling, light wear. Very good plus. A rare fundraising appeal from the illustrious Hampton Normal Institute aimed specifically at the members of the Christian Endeavor Society in 1894. The pamphlet was written by Principal Hollis B. Frissell and printed by the African- American and Native-American students at the institute. The pamphlet includes several photographs of the campus and the classroom, along with a group shot of the “Class of ‘94.” The purpose of the pamphlet is stated in the second paragraph of text: “This leaflet is prepared especially for the Christian Endeavor Society, in hopes that, with the information it gives of Hampton Institute and its needs, it will arouse interest among young Christians in our work and bring our cause before you as an object worthy of your Christian charity.” Frissell then expounds upon the training of the “head,” “hand,” and “heart” of the Hampton students before enumerating his institution’s funding needs. Donations may be contributed to the institute’s general fund or earmarked for the establishment of one-time or endowed scholarships, or given to the missionary fund, the “apparatus fund,” the housekeeping fund, or as a subscription to The Southern Workman. Hampton Institute apparently issued similar pamphlets under the same title on a regular (if not an annual) basis in the 1890s, though whether they issued more than one per year is not known, and any differences are likely only found in the text. OCLC records just seven copies of an 8pp. pamphlet from 1894 with this wrapper title, which we assume is the same as the present copy, though we can- not be sure. It appears that the present copy differs from at least the copies at Duke and Wisconsin, which are dated in print by Frissell, “September 1894.” It is possible, even likely, that the Hampton Institute issued this appeal targeted at the Christian Endeavor Society, as well as other, more general fundraising pamphlets in the same year. In any case, it is a rare appeal from a significant African-American and Native-American educational institution. OCLC 6876159. $850. With Voluminous Illustrations 3.

Four volumes. vii,[1],214; 228; 188; 68; 132; 159,[1]pp., plus six engraved titlepages (one for each volume and two extra engraved titlepages for the two parts of volume III) and 229 plates (some folding, many of them in “red chalk style,” eight handcolored). Uniformly bound in contemporary marbled boards with antique-style calf backstrips, morocco labels. Boards a bit rubbed, corners somewhat worn. One folding plate expertly repaired, a few plates with old dampstains in upper portion, else internally clean and fresh. A near fine set. An important and beautifully produced periodical on art instruction and apprecia- tion. Edited by Francis Fitzgerald, The Artist’s Repository and Drawing Magazine... was published by Charles Taylor, and many of the illustrations are by the famed engraver, Francesco Bartolozzi. The text takes the form of lectures and covers a wide variety of subjects of interest to the students and consumers of art, including human and animal physiognomy, human figures and character, architecture, land- scape, perspective, and the uses of color. Much of the work, therefore, amounts to a prolonged course in art criticism, and this periodical played a significant role in educating the British populace to what constitutes fine art. It thereby served to instruct those who wanted to become artists, and to cultivate the eye of art consumers in an era when art was accessible to a wider populace than just the royal court. Also included are biographies and assessments of several artists, and analyses of various paintings, sculptures, and buildings that would have been accessible to readers. There are also portraits of significant painters, sculptors, architects, and engravers including Nicholas Poussin, Michael Rysbrack, Wenc- eslaus Hollar, Peter Paul Rubens, Van Dyck, Inigo Jones, Mrs. Grace, and more. Many of the plates are the work of the great Italian engraver, Francesco Bartolozzi (1727-1815). He was born and studied art in Italy, before coming to England in 1764 and being made “engraver to the King.” He produced thousands of plates in England, refining and perfecting the “red chalk style,” a form of stipple engraving that had been recently invented by the French. Many of the plates in The Artist’s Repository... are in the “red chalk” style, especially those showing the human form, a specialty of Bartolozzi’s. A handsome set of this important art journal. $3500. Given by a Massachusetts Teacher to His Young Female Student 4. Barbauld, [Anna Letitia], Mrs.: HYMNS IN PROSE FOR CHILDREN. Boston: S. Hall, 1803. 35pp. 12mo. Contemporary marbled wrappers, sewn. Minor soiling and edge wear, lower third of spine perished. Contemporary gift inscription on front free endpaper. Light foxing. Very good. A later edition of Barbauld’s influential collection of hymns, first published in London in 1781 and in America (Philadelphia) in 1795. Anna Letitia Barbauld was a prolific author, teacher, and early abolitionist whose work influenced William Wilberforce, William Blake, and William Wordsworth. Her two most notable books for children are Lessons for Children and the present work, both of which provided guidance to generations of teachers and young students. Barbauld also insisted that her works were printed in slightly larger type sizes so that children could more easily read them. The present copy has a contemporary gift inscrip- tion from a teacher to a student in Chemsford, Massachusetts reading: “Lois Humphreys This little book is presented to her as a mark of approbation from her Instructor, as a small reward for laudable ambition & distinguished proficiency in learning. By Mr. Wilkes Allen afterwards Minister at Chemsford.” Shaw & Shoemaker locate only one copy of this Boston edition (at Columbia University Teachers College Library), one of three editions printed in 1803 (the others in New York and Wilmington). A scarce work, with an indeterminate number of copies in OCLC (no physical copies reported separately but certainly some cop- ies catalogued under microform or digital records). Early American children’s books were often used to pieces – this is an exceptionally nice example, in wholly original condition and with a significant provenance of a young female student.

His first recorded drawings were of Wolvercote church, north of Oxford; one of his drawings was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1798, and he exhibited there every year until 1849. In 1797, with the encouragement of Martin Routh, president of Magdalen, whom he later described as his ‘early and constant friend’ (Buckler, 50), he published two aquatint engravings of the college, and two years later, in 1799, again with Routh’s support, he made an engraving of Lincoln Cathedral, the first of a series of engraved views which by 1814 had grown to include all the English cathedrals and many of the major collegiate and parish churches...

The Architecture of Joseph Michael Gandy (1771-1843) and Sir John Soane (1753-1837): An Exploration Into the Masonic and Occult Imagination of the Late Enlightenment Abstract In examining select works of English architects Joseph Michael Gandy and Sir John Soane, this dissertation is intended to bring to light several important parallels between architectural theory and freemasonry during the late Enlightenment. Both architects developed architectural theories regarding the universal origins of architecture in an attempt to establish order as well as transcend the emerging historicism of the early nineteenth century. There are strong parallels between Soane's use of architectural narrative and his discussion of architectural 'model' in relation to Gandy's understanding of 'trans-historical' architecture. The primary textual sources discussed in this thesis include Soane's Lectures on Architecture, delivered at the Royal Academy from 1809 to 1836, and Gandy's unpublished treatise entitled the Art, Philosophy, and Science of Architecture, circa 1826.

E. MILLARD, D.D. f J ïntrotmctíom THE Family of Buckler is of Norman origin, from Rouen and its vicinity, where the name is preserved in Ecclesiastical Records of early date. The surname was one easily Anglicised, and variously spelt Bucler, Boclar, Bokeler, Bukeler, Boucler, Buckler, and in English signifies a shield. The Bucklers appear to have settled in Hampshire soon after the Norman Conquest, and subsequently in Dorsetshire, where they were located at the time of the Heralds' Visitations in 1565 and 1623, about which period a younger branch was firmly established at Warminster in the county of Wilts. In a beautiful valley on the banks of the Beaulieu river or Boldre Water is Buckler's hard, a populous village, principally inhabited by workmen employed in shipbuilding. Many frigates and men-of-war have been built there, the situation being very convenient for the purpose, and the tide forming a fine bay at high water. The word hard signifies a causeway made upon the mud for the purpose of landing. ('Beauties of England and Wales.')

    BRIDWELL-BRINER, KATHRYN EILEEN, D.M.A. The Horn in America from Colonial Society to 1842: Performers, Instruments, and Repertoire. (2014) Directed by Dr. Randy Kohlenberg. 294 pp. The purpose of this study was to address an aspect of the history of the horn neglected in traditional horn scholarship—that of the horn in America from the development of colonial society (ca. 1700) to the early days of the antebellum era (ca. 1840). This choice of time period avoided the massive influx of foreign musicians and exponential growth of American musical activities after 1840, as well as that of the general population, as this information would become too unwieldy for anything but studies of individual cities, regions, or specific musical groups. This time frame also paralleled the popularity of the horn virtuoso in Europe given so much attention by horn scholars. Additionally, all information gathered through examination of sources has been compiled in tables and included in the appendices with the intention of providing a point of reference for others interested in the horn in early America. This survey includes a brief introduction, review of literature, the ways in which the horn was utilized in early America, the individuals and businesses that made or sold horns and horn-related accoutrements such as music, tutors, crooks, and mouthpieces as well as an examination of the body of repertoire gleaned from performances of hornists in early America.

  • Biographical Notices of Graduates of Yale College

    BIOGRAPHICAL N OTICES OF GRADUATES OF Y ALE COLLEGE INCLUDING T HOSE GRADUATED IN CLASSES LATER THAN 1815, WHO ARE NOT COMMEMORATED IN THE ANNUAL OBITUARY RECORDS BY FRANKLIN B OWDITCH DEXTER, LITT.D. SAISSUED A SUPPLEMENT TO THE OBITUARY RECORD NEW HAVEN— 1913 PREFACE Biographical S ketches of the graduates of Yale College to 1815 have already been published, in six octavo volumes ; and when it became necessary to bring this series of Sketches to a close, the author was requested by the Cor poration of the University to compile a supplementary volume, of those deceased graduates of the College, of Classes later than 1815, who have not been included in the Obituary Records, published annually since 1860. fMany o the notices in the volume thus compiled have a certain sameness, as commemorating those who died too soon to have achieved much; while another considerable group consists of those who were early lost sight of, or whose distant residence has obscured their later history. The time which could be given to the task of compilation has limited the amount of research, but it is hoped that the results justify the design. BIOGRAPHICAL N OTICES GRADUATES OF YALE COLLEGE CLASSF O l8l6 REUBEN B OOTH, son of Reuben H. and Sarah Booth, was born in Newtown, Connecticut, on November 26, 1794. The family removed to Kent in his boyhood, and he entered Yale at the opening of Sophomore year. In 1814 his father, who was a wool-carder, was drowned in the Housatonic River, leaving him dependent on his own exertions.
