[LESOTHO] [SESOTHO LANGUAGE] JANKIE, HE H E
Mahlasinyane. Typed by Victor Moloi
Mazenod Basutoland Lesotho: Catholic Centre N.d. ca. 1950s. No statement of edition or printing. Quarto; stapled sheets with cloth tape spine 46pp. Slight dusting to covers else Fine. Text entirely in Sesotho. <br /> <br /> A fictional text for juvenile readers likely written with pedagogic intent. From our admittedly amateur attempts at translation the tale revolves around the adventures of Mahlasinyane the son of a farmer who one day in a fit of adolescent pique runs away from home so that he may "do as he pleases." We have not read further but given the source of publication one may infer that a series of Christian moral allegories follow. OCLC notes three copies in North America and one other in South Africa; UCLA cataloguing gives the dates as "1970" almost certainly in error as Basutoland was officially renamed Lesotho in 1966. Catholic Centre unknown

(NATIVE AMERICANS; DAKOTA LANGUAGE) GARVIE, Rev James
Abraham Lincoln Toni Kin Qa Aesop Tawoyake Kin. Life of Abraham Lincoln and Aesop's Fables.
Santee Agency: A. L. Riggs 1893. First edition. Twelvemo 4 3/8 x 5 5/8 inches. 17 1; 10 pp. Respectively; Life of Lincoln and Aesop. Publisher's plain stiff wrappers lettered on the front. Some minor foxing to top edge of front wrapper else and exceptionally clean copy."The Reverend Alfred L. Riggs a Congregational missionary founded the Santee Normal Training School in 1870. The primary purpose of the school was to provide training and education to members of the Santee Sioux Tribe who had been exiled from their ancestral home in Minnesota following the Sioux uprising of 1862. The Tribe was first placed on a reservation at Crow Creek Dakota Territory. When this location proved poor for farming purposes with little available timber it was determined to relocate the Santee on the Niobrara River in northern Knox County Nebraska. In the summer of 1866 the Santee were moved to Nebraska accompanied by the missions of the Episcopal Church and the American Board of Foreign Missions. Under the direction of the Reverend Riggs the Santee Normal Training School became a leader in educational work among the Indians. Its graduates included ministers missionaries teachers nurses and engineers as well as farmers and blacksmiths. Many students came to Santee from other reservations throughout the Great Plains area. At one time the institution boasted 18 buildings and 480 acres of land and enrollment exceeded 200. Courses offered included history literature physics chemistry mineralogy zoology botany mathematics music and art. Instruction was also offered in vocational fields such as agriculture carpentry and home economics" Nebraska Historical Society.Riggs believed wholeheartedly that the Native Americans should assimilate and to this end he required them to be in Western garb speak English and have their hair cut in an acceptable manner. But he also and oddly believed in the retention of the Dakota language. Thus numerous items were printed in that language at the Santee Press. This was important as it gave the students something of their own even within the establishment. It is reported that translating from English to Dakota was an onerous task not undertaken lightly. The translator of the Lincoln part. James W. Garvie was just one such graduate of the Santee Normal School. He later joined the faculty at the Santee Normal Training School as the printing instructor. There he encourage his students to translate and publish in the Dakota language. Later along with Charles and John Eastman He fought for the restoration of their people’s annuity payments following the Dakota War of 1862. In the following years Garvie traveled to Washington D.C. thirteen times to represent his tribe in front of Congress before finally securing the payments in 1924. A. L. Riggs unknown

Babbage later stated that: "Without the aid of this language I could not have invented the Analytical Engine; nor do I belive that any machinery of equal complexity can ever be contrived without the assistance of that or of some other equivalent language. The Difference Engine No.2.is entirely described by its aid." .Babbage considered his mechanical notation system to be one of his finest inventions and thought it should be widely implemented. It was a source of frustartion to him that no other machine designerr adopted it probably because no ther engineer during Babbage's time attermpted to build machines as logically and mechanically complex as Babbage's. More than one hundred years later in the 1930s when development in logic were applied to switching systems in the earliest efforts to devwelop electromechanical calculators. Ckaude Shannon demonstrated that Boolean algebra could be applied to the same types of problems for which Babbage had designed his mechanical notation system."Hook & Norman No. 37.Together with Babbage's paper comes a paper by J.F.W.

Breslau: S. Schottlaender 1878. First Edition 1st Printing. 1/4 Leather. Very Good. 88 Pp; 170 Pp. Watered Endpapers. Very Scarce Early Book By German Science Fiction/Utopian Literature Pioneer Kurd Lasswitz 1848-1910. "As The First Major Sf Writer In German He Holds The Same Place In Germany As Do H. G. Wells In England And Jules Verne In France. He Taught Philosophy For Many Years At The Gymnasium Ernestinium In Gotha And It Is Symptomatic Of 19Th-Century Gerrman Intellectual Culture That He Irradiated His Fiction With Theoretical Speculation; There Is Not Kl Fiction Without A Lesson. William N. Fischer Claims On Kl's Behalf That Many Of His Ideas Directly Prefigure Later Critics' Use Of Terms Like 'Extrrapolation' And 'Analogue'.The Seriousness Of His Didactic Impulse Can Be Seen In The Strong Emphasis He Places In His Fiction On Establishing A Plausible Imaginary World Whose Hypothetical Nature Will Be Governed And Given Verisimilitude By Resemblance To Scientific Method Evident In Its Realization. Unsurprisingly The Stories That Embody These Overriding Concerns Tend To Be More Effective As Broad Technological And Scientific Canvases Than As Studies In Character; The Tales Collected In Bilder Aus Der Zukunft Read Consequently Almost Like Illustrated Tours Of Various 'Superior Terrestrial Cultures Located In The Future." John Clute In The Science Fiction Encyclopedia. "Many Inferences About The Future Can Be Drawn From The Historical Course Of Civilization And The Present State Of Science; And Analogy Offers Itself To Fantasy As An Ally". William B. Fischer In Science Fiction Studies 1978. A Well-Worn Copy Spine Leather Entirely Perished Recently Re-Backed To Style Preserving Original Marbled Endpapers Publisher's Internal Cloth Hinges Still Holding. Very Scarce With Only A Few Examples Shown In Institutional Holdings Indexed In Worldcat. From The Collection Of Sf Collector/Dealer/Publisher Forrest Ackerman. <br/> <br/> S. Schottlaender hardcover
