Walker Professor Emeritus, Indiana State University This collection of textbooks was initiated because of my interest in exploring the heritage of our public schools. This interest was heightened as my research led to a variety of primary sources, especially the school textbooks of the past. Prior to the twentieth century, instructional materials and equipment were very limited. Strong community tradition, school system inflexibility, and inadequate teacher training resulted in a narrow school curriculum, usually centered on the textbook. Thus the study of old textbooks helps reveal the basic curriculum of the early school. Students, colleagues, friends, and family have all shared in my interest and motivation for the Walker Collection. I hope that the collection provides enjoyment in the nostalgic sense and, at the same time, develops curriculum perspective. As I have told thousands of my students and my own family, "As you handle these precious bits of our heritage, please hold them carefully in your hands, 'lest a loose page flutter and be lost to posterity, especially from the New England primers (the little blue-backed books that taught millions to read and not to sin.'). "Reflect back over two hundred years or so, and remember the little chubby hands that held the same books that you are privileged to hold today. To me it is always a kind of reverent moment. Seize the moment, but do handle the books carefully." It is most appropriate that special thanks be given to my family as they provided both inspiration and support during the many years I spent in building this collection. My wife, Marie (bless her heart!), spent parts of our vacations in musty bookshops with me. Our daughter, Anita, and son-in-law, Steve, used birthdays and Christmas times to add many special items to the collection. Our son, Ken, was always ready and willing to transport me to numerous places to search for and return with treasures. Our grandchildren, Alan, Clint, Megan, and Brian accompanied me many times to auctions, flea markets, garage sales, antique malls, and other places in search of just the right old books. Without their inspiration and assistance, this collection would not exist. November 8, 2001 - vi - Introduction By David Vancil Rare Books Librarian & Curator of Collections In 1980 Dr. Benjamin Walker made a donation of 300 early American textbooks, many of them from New England, thus establishing the collection bearing his name. The core of the collection, containing primarily nineteenth-century textbooks, provides examples of seminal school textbooks which influenced the direction both of textbook writing and of teaching in the United States for scores of years. In 1987 the Department of Rare Books and Special Collections began to acquire primarily pre-1900 imprints of textbooks for addition to the Walker Collection. Meanwhile, in 1992 and 1994, Dr. Walker generously donated additional books. While many of them were destined for the collection bearing his name, others used in Indiana were added to the Floyd Family Collection. The Walker Collection now contains over 1,000 titles. Readers comprise the largest portion of the collection, although after over two decades of existence, it has grown to include at least several examples from nearly every part of the school curriculum as well as a few books on the art, or science, of teaching. Particularly impressive are several editions of New England primers, which were intended not only to teach students to read but virtues as well. Relatively few copies of early American textbooks remain extant because of the hard use they received and because schools themselves discarded many textbooks when they were deemed no longer useful. Therefore, Dr. Walker's gift, painstakingly amassed over several generations, serves an especially useful purpose as important examples to students and researchers. A Web catalog completed in December 2000 was source for the records used in this catalog. They have been extensively revised for consistency and accuracy. In turn this catalog will be used to revise online records. This catalog has been published in a limited edition of 10 numbered copies, but additional copies will be made available on demand, so inquiries are welcome. December 2001 - vii - Use of the Catalog The catalog contains records of all titles received through December 2000. A header of the fullest form of personal names found in author statements and name authority sources precede the entries of books arranged under an author or authors. An author is understood to be the individual credited with the book, which in some cases may be the same as an editor or compiler. Such individuals as editors, translators, and compilers, when differentiated from the author, have been noted in the appropriate category in the entry. Title entries are also represented by a brief header. Entries are arranged under headers by a complete title and date of publication. In rare instances, place of publication and even the editor statement may have been used to establish entry order. Contained in each record, when present, are the following parts: author statement; title; editor or other participant statement; edition statement; series statement or relevant at-head-of title statement; publication statement (place, publisher, and date); pagination (Arabic numerals only)

    — OLIVER PEEBLES JENKINS Bantam, Ohio. Palo Alto, California. November 3, 1850. January 9, 1935. Perhaps few of us recall Dr. Jenkins—what a splendid teacher he was! An active mind—original, enthusiastic, and inspirational and a fund of humor were out- standing characteristics. Who could not profit from his instruction? To those of us who were much with J him he was a delightful companion and a lovable friend, in addition to his being a great naturalist. He was born at Bantam, Ohio, November 3, 1850, and died at Stanford University January 9, 1935 in his eighty-fifth year. He was buried at Palo Alto, California. He married Elizabeth R. Hester, formerly of Brookville, Indiana, where the writer and his wife, Mary Reynolds, attended Brookville College with her. His widow and two sons survive. He graduated from Moores OLIVER PEEBLES JENKINS Hill (now Evansville) College in 1869 and, after serving as teacher, high school principal, and superintendent in the public schools of Indiana, Wisconsin, and California, he returned, in 1876, to Moores Hill College as professor, where he remained for twelve years. That institution con- ferred upon him advanced and honorary degrees; he was also honored with a degree from Indiana University. He became a member of the faculty of the Indiana State Normal School, at Terre Haute in 1883, and left there to become Professor of Biology at DePauw University in 1886. He remained at DePauw until 1891, when he became a member of the faculty of Leland Stanford Jr. University at the time of its founding. He remained in this position until he retired as Professor Emeritus of Physiology in 1916.

None but a man of grand proportions could have emerged into prominence to stand with them. Webster, Choate, Story, Benjamin R. Curtis, Jeremiah Mason, the Hoars, Dana, Otis, and Caleb Cushing were among them. Of the lives and careers of all of these, full and adequate records have been written. But of him who was first their associate, and later their judge, the greatest legal figure of them all, only meagre accounts survive. It is in the hope of sup plying this deficiency, to some extent, that the following pages are presented. It may be thought that too great space has been given to a description of Shaw's forbears and early surroundings; but it is suggested that much in his character and later life is thus explained.

  • The British Surrender Their Armies to General Washington After Their Defeat at Your Town in Virginia, Octorber 1781
    Library of Congress Figure 1: The British surrender their Armies to General Washington after their defeat at Your Town in Virginia, Octorber 1781. 48 ARLINGTON 1-IISTORICA L MAGAZINE The Arlington House Engravings of the British Surrender at Yorktown: Too Often Overlooked? BY DEAN A. DEROSA In the morning room and in the second-floor hall ofArlington House, The Robert E. Lee Memorial (the US National Park Service historical site on the grounds ofArlington National Cemetery), hang two framed engravings, entitled "The British Surrendering their Arms to Gen. Washington after their Defeat at Yorktown in Virginia, October 1781." The two art pieces, first published in 1819, are drawn by John Francis Renault and engraved by Tanner, Vallance, Kearny & Co. The morning room engraving is in color, while the second floor engraving is inscribed in black ink (Figure 1). The caption at the base of the two engravings reads, "To the defenders of American independence, this print is most respectfully inscribed by their fellow citizen, Jn. Fcis. Renault, assistant secretary to the Count de Grass, and engineer to the French Army, at the siege of York." Thus, the twin engravings are drawn by a participant in the Siege of Yorktown, if not also a witness to the historic British surrender and subsequent surrender ceremony, which for all intents and purposes ended major hostilities during the American Revolution. The allegorical background of the engravings depicts not only the field upon which the British, Continental, and French armies stood during the sur­ render ceremony, but also a number of classical images and symbols of human discord, victory, and liberty, described in an 1804 prospectus apparently in reference to an early, circa 1810-1815 version of the Renault drawing (Figure 2) upon which the published engraving would eventually be based, that are largely lost upon us today.

As wars go, this war was fairly short and had relatively few casualties1, but it had enormous impact on the future of the countries and inhabitants of the Northern Hemisphere. At the conclusion of this conflict, the geography, destiny and social structure of the newly-formed United States of America and Canada were forever and irrevocably altered.
