Thou Jacques Auguste de
Historiarum sui Temporis. Partis Primae.Libri VI
Ambrosium & Hieronymum Drouart 1604. Second Edition. Hardcover Full Leather. Very Good Condition. 5 volumes bound in 9 in contemporary calf. Worn at the edges and corners spines a little dry but intact and attractive overall. Volume 1 with a single title page some copies were apparently bound with a second title page noting Estienne the publisher of the Folio edition. Old bookplates inside covers ownership marks and stamps to titles and first pages occasionally trimmed a little close on the top edge just touching the running title scattered minor pencil marks light dampstain to the corners of a section of vol vii but otherwise clean and a very good set overall. This is the second edition of Thou's history published 1604-1608 and the first octavo edition. It was published just after the Folio edition a few months after for the first volumes and almost simultaneously thereafter. The first two octavo volumes corresponding to the first folio volume and printed in 1604 identified here as Pars I and Partis Primae Tomus II is bound in four volumes as is the second volume published in two octavo volumes in 1606 and corresponding to the Folio volume also published in 1606. They are identified as Tomus Secundi Pars Prima and Tomi Secundi Pars altera. The final volume identified as Libri VI is bound in one and published in 1608 the Folio edition was published in 1607-8. Because Thou was editing and changing his systems of identification as he published the books the naming system is a little odd - this final volume follows the third and fourth octavo volumes and not the first two in how it is numbered. 1005pp index; 1013 index; 958 index; 886 index; 501 privilege index. Kinser pages 10-20. Graesse VII 147. Thou's history is one of the great monuments of Renaissance history and in its scientific factual take on events was much more a work of the enlightenment than the counter-reformation. As a result and despite some minor changes from the first edition all of the later books dealing with the wars of religion and other topics ended up on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum in 1609. A 1620 edition collected all of the history and added Thou's Mémoires. Size: Octavo 8vo. 9-volume set complete. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Over 3 kilos.

EDUCATION. GEORGE N. SHEPARD

<p>"<i>.neither have the right to inflict punishment or impose restrictions that will maim or injure the health of the children. As to the particular case under consideration I cannot believe that you are unduly severe or that your restrictions and exactions will hurt a robust stubborn pupil.</i>"</p> <b>EDUCATION. GEORGE N. SHEPARD.</b>Autograph Letter Signed as Chairman of the School Board to Mary D. Webster October 5 1891 West Epping New Hampshire. 2 pp. and envelope.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Complete Transcript</b></p><p> <i>West Epping N.H.</i></p><p> <i>Oct. 5 1891</i></p><p><i>Dear Miss Webster</i></p><p> <i>Yours of the 3d inst. is at hand.</i></p><p> <i>Your school supplies as ordered are sent by mail this morning. We have no Swinton's Second Readers now on hand therefore I put in for you a McGuffy's Second Reader which I hope will serve your purpose.</i></p><p> <i>In relation to authority of teachers you perhaps already understand that they have the same as parents while the children are under their care and that neither have the right to inflict punishment or impose restrictions that will maim or injure the health of the children.</i></p><p> <i>As to the particular case under consideration I cannot believe that you are unduly severe or that your restrictions and exactions will hurt a robust stubborn pupil.</i> <2> <i>Of course you will be expected to discriminate so as to properly modify your discipline to suit each particular case and be especially tender with such as are weak and frail physically or mentally. Try to place yourself in the same relation to the children under your care and instruction as that of a faithful conscientious mother possessed of good sound common sense who while she loves her children with a true and motherly love is profoundly impressed with the importance and necessity of restraining them and of training them in habits of studiousness and industry as well as all the other useful activities and you will have a guiding principle that will never lead you very far in wrong methods.</i></p><p> <i>My decision then is this you have a right in general to deprive a pupil of part of the regular noonday intermission and mid-session recesses to make up delinquencies provided that you substitute a sufficient number of recesses by himself alone. This is indeed a most fitting discipline to apply to a pupil who stubbornly and persistently wastes in idleness the time regularly assigned for study.</i></p><p> <i>Yours truly</i></p><p> <i>G. N. Shepard</i></p><p> <i>Ch. Sch. Bd. of Epping.</i></p><p><b>George N. Shepard</b> 1824-1903 was born in Epping New Hampshire and educated in the public schools and at Hampton Academy. He married Rowena Lawrence Thyng 1823-1911 in 1845. He taught school was a land surveyor and served as a justice of the peace. By 1860 he was listed as a farmer living with his wife and four children. He represented West Epping in the state legislature from 1860 to 1862. During the Civil War he rose to the rank of captain in Company I of the 11th New Hampshire Infantry from 1862 to 1865. He was wounded at both the Battle of Fredericksburg and the Battle of Cold Harbor. Afterwards he returned to farming then engaged in the mercantile and lumber business. He was postmaster of West Epping from 1876 to at least 1895 and chairman of the school board from 1886 to at least 1895.</p><p><b>Mary D. Webster</b> 1854-1935 was born in New Hampshire. By 1870 both she and her older sister Sarah 1848-1929 were school teachers still living with their parents in West Epping Chester township southeastern New Hampshire. By 1910 the two unmarried sisters still lived together in Chester township but Mary listed her occupation as farming at home.</p> books
