Includes the Final Exercise envelope to be opened by the Course Monitor after the student has completed all the course components as well as a nearly complete pad of blank Cobol Programming worksheets. The slipcase is worn and has minor damage to some of the corners and edges. The spines of the booklets are sun faded. Internally sound and generally clean. The second edition first edition was the previous year. Trade Paperback. A group of modules for learning Cobol 74 Programming. The Monitor Handbook shows how the course monitor should teach the course and monitor student progress. The 4 volumes are for the students' use. The Handbook is more of a reference guide for the language. A complete educational package for both learning and monitoring students. These types of materials are becoming quite scarce and are an important part of our computing heritage often discarded as languages become obsolete and programmers learned the languages. COBOL was and is an important language for programming business applications. An acronym for "COmmon Business Oriented Language" COBOL was developed jointly by various industry competitors in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It has continued to evolve over time. Cobol 74 refers to compatibility with a particular ANSI standard for the language from 1974. See Sammet's "Programming Languages: History and Fundamentals" for a pre-1970's view of the history of computing languages including Cobol. NCR Corporation paperback books‎

"Dear Mr Sampson I have written and sent you separately by this mail that which I contribute to our book." He then discusses his wishes for the Preface and Introduction before adding "The Tinkers. This is quite unfinished. It needs a great deal from you. Please note that I have got some queer items as to the Tinkers of old times." In the next paragraph he mentions Shelta Shelta Thari being an esoteric language spoken by the tinkers which Leland had discovered in 1876. He goes on to ask "Can you send me an Old Irish alphabet' and later "I hope it will not take you long to put together what you and Professor Meyer will give" referring to Professor Kuno Meyer a German scholar distinguished in the field of Celtic philology and literature. Then an address in Hamburg Germany where he can be reached after June and "Sincerely Charle G. Leland". While I can find no book that these three men published together Sampson and Meyer did much work later to carry forward research and knowledge of the Shelta language and customs.

‎Campbell John. Indian Language‎

‎The Aymaras of Peru manuscript cover title‎

‎Montreal 1870. About very good. 17pp. Quarto. Original plain wrappers bound into contemporary buckram gilt spine label. Light foxing and wear to buckram. Front hinge cracking front endpaper detaching. Two chips at fore-edges of final two leaves not affecting text otherwise internally clean. Accomplished in a neat legible hand. A fascinating if somewhat eccentric manuscript essay on South American linguistic history and its supposed connections to Gaelic languages by a Scottish-Canadian professor at the Presbyterian College of Montreal. John Campbell was principally a professor of church history but was also a serious student of anthropology philology and linguistics and published numerous articles and monographs on a wide variety of subjects. Campbell was born in Edinburgh and immigrated to Montreal via London and Toronto in the 1870s where he was appointed to a professorship in 1873. His wide-ranging publications include scholarly and polemical essays in various academic journals a volume of children's story sermons and a novel set in the Muskoka region of Ontario. His most well-known work was a two volume ethnographic study entitled "The Hittites" in which he claimed that the people were descendants of the Japanese Basques and Peruvians among others. "Later critics with reason considered him an academic dilettante" - Canadian Dictionary of Biography. The present work continues such grandiose thinking and claims a linguistic and genealogical link between the Aymara peoples of Peru and Bolivia and the Celts. Through the comparison of selected words in Aymara Quechua Gaelic and Welsh complete with several tables and appendices Campbell argues that "The large number of words identical in form and meaning in the two languages suffice to establish the common origin of Celts and Aymaras." The essay continues to make additional comparisons with Quechua and cites the research of Hyde Clark as the inspiration for its line of inquiry. Campbell likely prepared this essay as one of his many contributions to Canadian academic journals. In an article he published in the journal of the Royal Society of Canada at the turn of the 20th century he states that 'Some years previous I pointed out a large Celtic element in the dialects of Peru and notably in that of the Aymaras." Hyde Clark references Campbell's theories in this area in his own book "The Khita and Khita-Peruvian Epoch" published in 1877. Nevertheless we are unable to locate a published version of this essay. A strange yet enthusiastic work asserting a tenuous theory of native Peruvian language. unknown books‎
