1891Best.-Nr. 2686De Smet Id: De Smet Mission 1891. Very good plus. 210pp. Gathered signatures never bound into the original printed wrappers. Minor edge wear. Untrimmed. A rare prayerbook printed in the Siouan language of Crow with headings printed in Latin. The work was published by the missionaries of the Society of Jesus at their De Smet Mission Press in Idaho. The present copy begins with the title page which reads "Preces Lingua Absavuki seu Corvorum Indorum." This copy lacks wrappers most likely because according to Schoenberg "Though published separately this work often appears bound with other imprints from the same press particularly with Cataldo's Catechism and the Selecta ex Historia Sacra." As such this copy was very likely reserved by the missionaries in De Smet for inclusion in a sammelband and thus lacks the wrappers. "It is probable that the greatest portion of the work was done by Prando recognized by the Jesuits as their greatest authority on the Crow language" - Schoenberg.

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

Sir Thomas Francis Wade 1818-1895 a British soldier turned diplomat and Sinologist was the first professor of Chinese at Cambridge University. He developed a system of romanizing the Chinese language based on pronunciation conventions of the Beijing dialect. The system was later modified by Herbert Giles another diplomat and scholar who had succeeded him as professor of Chinese at Cambridge and became known as the Wade-Giles system. It was widely used throughout much of the twentieth century to represent the sounds of Mandarin in Western publications and is still used to represent some personal and place names. This work was prepared with the express purpose of preparing individuals destined to join Her Majesty's Consular Service in China with the written language of government as it appeared in books and in official correspondence.
