‎Manuscript Eulogy for George Washington written by a Military Man Delivered to his Fellow Soldiers in Arms circa February 22 1800‎

‎<p>N.p. Anonymous 1800 small quarto 22 manuscript pages on laid paper no watermark tied with ribbon not original through two of three slits front wrapper detached but present entitled: "In Eulogy on the life of General George Washington" Text somewhat worn upper right hand corners somewhat dogeared front wrapper worn and chipped rear wrap missing otherwise very good.</p><p>Apparently Unpublished Eulogy on Washington by a Military Man to his Fellow Soldiers.</p><p>This eulogy or oration written by an anonymous militia commander and likely read to his fellow "soldiers in arms" it extols the virtues of their fallen "Chieftain" on what would have been Washington's 68th birthday:</p><p>Sample of the Text:</p><p>"Countrymen & Fellow Citizens. Permit me by request your humble Eulogist to address you on this no less solemn than afflicting occasion.</p><p>The Parent of our rights the Guardian of our liberties the Saviour of our Country is no more. The illustrious Washington the accomplished Statesman the intrepid Veteran has discharged the demands of nature and rests in dust. This day sixty eight years past ushered the deceased into being.</p><p>How are the mighty fallen – Not as Saul and Jonathan in the field of Battle – but expired like Moses on Pisgah's Mount in the full vigour of age. …</p><p>The Hero of Monongahela witnessed to the world the same magnanimity of mind through the whole course of his life as he did at the moment when he saved a shattered army from impending ruin. And millions this day mourn the loss of their mighty Chieftain dead. … He conquered not like Alexander to enslave millions but to disseminate among them the rights and privileges of men. Like Cincinnatus he took the field but to silence the enemies of his Country & like him again retired to rural repose.</p><p>He was biased by no sinister motives but was entreated by the purest principles of friendship for his distressed Countrymen. And by his Patriotic exertions liberated thousands from impending thralldom… He never took to his hallowed lips the sacred name of Deity; but with the greatest reverence and awe – He united the characters of Moses and Joshua in leading and counseling the Armies of America. Like Moses he took us when to all external appearance human aid could not avail. Although he resigned not his breath on Vernon's top until like Joshua he led us into the promised land of freedom… In war he was our palladium in peace our oracle. … The moment when that the immortal sage was named to command our armies; Europe stood astonished and Great Britain trembled to the center. The knew the worth of our Chief – to them his name was a host – this they were made sensible of even to a demonstration. … With what perfect composure did he command himself at that precarious moment when flying through the Jerseys with an handful of undisciplined Militia and they upon the point of deserting him giving up their Country for loss With a voice more than human he rallied their remains - Spoke and they obeyed – and set his Country free – It was here the Illustrious Chief turned the current of the American war and rolled the tide of its baneful effects upon an exulting foe glutted with success. …</p><p><em> Soldiers in arms </em></p><p><em> Permit me to consider with you on this trying occasion and with you to lament the loss of your guide in war and friend in peace. The honorable name of Soldier ought to involve in it every thing that is great and good. The deceased War worn General whose death you are now lamenting gloried in the epithet of Soldier. Although the ages of many of you put it out of your power to be acquainted with his noble exertions yet you are reaping the advantages which his noble soul aspired to. He in his life set you an example worthy the imitation of an Hannibal. By his intrepidity he has taught you to defy death – and when your Country calls his noble pattern has declared that your lives are not your own. When his demanded his attention he was the first to appear in the midst of danger and could not bear that a soiled tongue should couple with name of coward an American Veteran. If there are any in this assembly who were present when he unfurled the banners of Independence they will declare what a torrent of anxiety swelled his benevolent soul at that initial moment. The fate of your Country the lives of you Parents and your own existences depended on that momentous event. With diffidence and a reserved dignity which characterized him above his comrades in war he took the command of our forces. He organized into a regular army a raw although virtuous yeomanry He led them on to victory. He subdued the enemies of our Country and gave peace to our American climes. Whilst the tear of sensibility steals from your cheeks in commemoration of your departed Hero; Let this conflating plea sooth the pangs of grief that his happiness is now compleat. Let his virtue stimulate you like him when called upon to tread in the paths of glory and then you will receive the plaudits of your Countrymen and rest like him in eternal Bliss." </em></p><p>This eulogy or commemorative address is apparently unpublished. The author's allusion to New Jersey which he refers to as "here" within the text may offer a hint to its origin.</p>‎

A very good or better copy.</p> <p>With contemporary manuscript annotations on two pages. First English edition of this American Revolution era political satire and bibliographical hoax.</p> <p>Anonymously written by Richard Tickell the text purports to publish the letters of Benjamin Franklin the “trading Ambassador†with de Sartine among others and various secret state papers.

‎'Perspective'. Portfolio de manuscrits architecturaux français.‎

‎France: n/a 1900. Wonderful French architectural manuscript portfolio on 'Perspective'. This appears to be a student's own manuscript and sketches from an architectural or art course. All of the contents are dealing with perspective in different forms. Some are purely mathematical such as the design and sketches of cones and other shapes. Others are examples of sketches drawn in proper perspective. The portfolio contains a large number of loose leaves. Each aspect text in French has one or more illustrations following. Many but not all of the pages have pencilled numbers to the top edge. In total there are 48 pages of text and 64 pages of illustrations / diagrams. In fact there are a few more but we have only counted "significant" pages. The paper is a little darkened and there are a few very minor closed tears to the page edge. The folder has cracking to the spine edge and is darkened and at least one of the ties is still functioning. The front has a tipped on printed illustration with the title. An attractive and fascinating piece. 330 x 255 mm 13 x 10 inches. Magnifique portfolio de manuscrits architecturaux français sur 'Perspective'. Cela semble être le manuscrit d'un étudiant et des croquis d'un cours d'architecture ou d'art. Tous les contenus traitent de la perspective sous différentes formes. Certains sont purement mathématiques comme la conception et les croquis de cônes et d'autres formes. D'autres sont des exemples de croquis dessinés dans une perspective appropriée. Le portefeuille contient un grand nombre de feuilles volantes. Chaque aspect texte en français est suivi d'une ou plusieurs illustrations. De nombreuses pages mais pas toutes ont des numéros au crayon sur le bord supérieur. Au total il y a 48 pages de texte et 64 pages d'illustrations/schémas. En fait il y en a quelques autres mais nous n'avons compté que les pages "significatives". Le papier est un peu noirci et il y a quelques petites déchirures fermées sur le bord de la page. Le dossier présente des fissures sur le bord de la colonne vertébrale et est assombri et au moins une des attaches fonctionne toujours. L'avant a une pointe sur l'illustration imprimée avec le titre. Une pièce attrayante et fascinante. 330 x 255 mm 13 x 10 pouces. n/a unknown‎

‎?????? Who lost the ball?‎

‎Shanghai Shanghai Education Publishing House 1987 Un joli lot de ces affiches pédagogiques, racontant l'histoire de « Qui a perdu la balle ? ». Il s'agit d'un lot complet de neuf affiches, de différentes tailles. (Lot complet). Il existe une dixième affiche il semble s'agir d'un « avant-goût » d'un autre ensemble d'affiches. Elles sont destinées aux enfants de maternelle. La série portait le titre accrocheur de « Affiches pédagogiques pour la narration d'histoires illustrées en maternelle (Classe moyenne, série 2, n° 9-1) ». La plupart des affiches sont en parfait état, n'ayant jamais été utilisées. Deux d'entre elles ont été accrochées dans une salle de classe ; elles présentent donc de légères traces d'usure sur les bords et des résidus de ruban adhésif au dos. Un bel ensemble d'affiches. Leurs dimensions varient légèrement, mais elles mesurent généralement 530 × 780 mm (20Ÿ × 30Ÿ pouces).‎

‎A lovely set of these educational posters, telling the story of "Who lost the ball." This is a complete set of nine posters, or various sizes. (A complete set). There is a tenth poster - this seems to be "teaser" for another set of posters. They are aimed at kindergarten children. The series came under the snappy title of "Educational Wall Charts for Picture-Based Storytelling in Kindergartens (Middle Class, Series 2, No. 9-1)." Most of the posters are in perfect, unused condition. Two of them have been used to put up in a classroom, so has some light edge wear, and backing tape to them. A nice set of the posters. They all vary slightly by size, but typically 530 by 780mm (20Ÿ by 30Ÿ inches). .‎
