"Presented to Joseph Allen Galbaith on the occasion of his marriage with Hannah Maria Bredin in the Collegiate Church of St Nicholas Galway on the sixteenth day of July 1850 fifty A.D. by his sincere friend Samuel Haughton". Galbraith Joseph Allen 29 November 1818 � 20 October 1890 professor of experimental philosophy and proponent of home rule was born November 1818 in Dublin the son of Richard Galbraith a merchant and Scottish presbyterian and his wife Rebecca. His father died in the 1820s after which he largely supported himself. Scientific researches into barometric pressure geology and the mathematics of pendulum-motion with respect of the rotation of the earth published in the RIA Proceedings succeeded his appointment as Erasmus Smith's professor of natural and experimental philosophy in May 1854. Together with his great friend Samuel Haughton qv he had previously initiated a hugely popular series of manuals on aspects of mathematics and physics to intermediate and undergraduate level. These were so concise and well structured as to be recommended as textbooks for English schools and colleges by the privy council. They did not go out of print until the 1900s and helped to end Galbraith's financial insecurity. During the Crimean war 1853�6 both friends also made a great reputation tutoring numerous students for the difficult army artillery and engineering exams. He became grand chaplain of the grand lodge of freemasons in the 1850s and worked as treasurer on the management committee of the masonic girls school in Donnybrook." - See Dictionary of Irish Biography.

Born in Dublin Galbraith was a forward with Dublin University Football Club and gained his solitary Ireland cap in the team's first ever international against England at The Oval in 1875." - See List of Ireland national rugby union players Richard Galbraith 6 Jun 1852 - 7 Dec 1888 - His son - He played for the Ireland national rugby union team.

Quadrille De Contredanses suivi d'une Valse pour le Piano Forte. Composé & Arrangé sur des motifs de l'Opéra de Bellini La Sonnambula

1837ref. List3613Philadelphia: Firth Meignen & Co. Publishers & Importers of Music and Musical Instruments No. 41 Chestnut Street 1837. Seven pages complete including dance figures. Folio sheet music. Very good with scattered foxing and light edge wear. A rare early American operatic dance arrangement by Francis Johnson 1792-1844 widely regarded as the first published Black composer in the United States. Issued circa 1837 this work adapts themes from Vincenzo Bellini's opera La Sonnambula 1831 into a set of quadrilles with concluding waltz arranged for piano forte and structured for social dancing. The internal headings "Pantalon" "Ladies Chain" etc. retain the formal quadrille sequence reflecting the popularity of European ballroom forms in Philadelphia during the period. Johnson a Philadelphia bandleader composer and virtuoso keyed bugle player published approximately seventy compositions over nearly three decades. Active in Philadelphia from at least the 1810s he became one of the city's most sought-after musicians leading ensembles for cotillions public balls military functions and civic celebrations. In 1818 became the first African-American composer known to have sheet music published in the United States. His band performed for elite social events and public commemorations including celebrations for the Marquis de Lafayette's visit to Philadelphia. In 1838 he toured Europe with his ensemble performing in England and reportedly receiving a silver trumpet from Queen Victoria. This piece was composed a year earlier per the Johnson page at Musicalgeography.com six years after Bellini's work. Operatic paraphrases and dance adaptations of fashionable European works were central to Johnson's output. Overall a quite scarce early title from an important composer. We find two copies in OCLC 692295106 at AAS and the William Clements Library. See "Francis Johnson's Compositions - With Sheet Music" https://musicalgeography.org/francis-johnsons-compositions/.

With Shakespeare its exact contemporary the Authorized Version has contributed countless quotations and expressions which have slipped hardly noticed into English language and idiom.The book was always printed according to a very precise formula. The lengthy wording of the title-page was unvarying. Every Bible opened with the standard preface to James I 'To the Most High and Mighty Prince James.' beginning 'Great and manifold were the blessings.' The text of the Bible was arranged in strict convention. It was generally laid out in two columns with separate numbered verses. Each chapter opened with a short summary of its content. There were no interpretative notes but there were brief references in the margins to parallel passages or variant readings. 246-249pp HAMEL Christopher De. The Book. A History of the Bible.

The first complete Bible to be produced entirely in shorthand engraved throughout by John Sturt and including the metrical psalms of Sternhold and Hopkins translated from the King James Authorised Version by English writing master and stenographer William Addy c.1618-c.1695. Addy's shorthand system was extensively outlined in his Stenographia or The art of short- writing compleated in a far more compendious method than any yet extant London 1684. As he himself acknowledged it owed a great debt to the system of Jeremiah Rich d. c. 1660. Darlow & Moule transcribe a note from the B.M. copy which explains the method of production: 'This Bible in Stenography my Brethren at sight and all others skill'd in ye Art of Sculpture know it's Engraven; but in a Peculiar Manner. It was written by Mr. Addy in ungum'd Ink burnished on the wax and then run through with the Engraver by John Sturt'. The old bookseller's description tipped into this copy refers to the work as the 'Pepys shorthand Bible' referencing J.W. Carlton's 1933 article "Samuel Pepys his Short-hand Books" Transactions of the Bibliographical Society. New Series Vol. XIV p.83 1933; however Pepys copy is described as featuring 'a rapturous dedication to William of Orange' which was not added until the 1689 reissue confusingly with the title continuing to display the 1687 date of this Bible. One of three slight variant editions published in 1687.
