1739réf. 98089London: Sold by C. Corbett Bookseller and Publisher against St. Dunstan's-Church in Fleet-Street 1739. 1739. Good. - Octavo 8-1/2 inches high by 5-1/2 inches wide. Printed self-wrappers with "Price Six-pence" in square brackets at the foot of the title page. Remnants of later plain green wraps are present along the spine. The front edges of the cover page and last page are slightly chipped. 2 & 38 deckle-edged pages decorated with a title device a formal head & tail piece and woodcut initial. There is scattered dampstaining particularly to the first and last pages. Good. First and only edition. RARE. The significance of a large part of the content of this pamphlet is described in a scholarly article by the American theologian and leading authority on John Wesley Dr. Randy L. Maddox. His article John Wesleys Earliest Published Defense of the Emerging Revival in Bristol 2014 can be found at The Divinity Archive a project of The Duke Divinity School Library. Part 1 "A Compleat Account of the Conduct &tc. of that Eminent Enthusiast Mr. Whitefield &tc." pages 1-16 is a scathing denunciation of Whitefield and John Wesley pieced together by the publisher Charles Corbett. Corbett who was responsible for other anti-Methodist tracts cites an account in the high church Anglican-supported Weekly Miscellany as his source. Corbett mocks Whitefield: "There is something so extravagantly ridiculous in the Behavior of this young Man it is very difficult for a person of any Humour to keep his Countenance.". He later goes on to include Wesley in his insults: "I defy all Mankind to justify such Conduct upon any Principles whatsoever; and Mr. John Wesley is less justifiable or rather more guilty than Mr. Whitefield because he is a Man of more Learning better Judgement and a cooler Head.". Following this Corbett publishes "A Copy of a private Conversation of Mr. Whitefield's taken down in Writing after his leaving the Room and brought to him by the Rev. Mr. Tucker Minister of All-Saints in Bristol and at his Request sign'd by Mr. Whitefield himself." It is the text of a conversation Whitefield had on March 30 1739 in which he attributes his understanding of "true Christianity" to a book by Henry Scougal "The Life of God in the Soul of Man". The text was originally published by Josiah Tucker in a broadsheet dated "Bristol March 30 1739". Part II "A Method of Confession drawn up for the Use of the Women Methodists. Taken from the Original." pages 18-20. Among the questions proposed are the following: "Are you in Love / Do you take more Pleasure in any Body than in God / Whom do you love just now better than any other Person in the World / Is not the Person an Idol Does he not especially in Publick Prayer steal in between God and your Soul / Does any Court you / Is there any one whom you suspect to have any such Design / Is there anyone who shews you more Respect than to other Women / Are not you pleased with That / How do you like him / How do you feel yourself when he comes when he stays when he goes away The last ten Questions may be ask'd as often as Occasion offers." Josiah Tucker described this as "shocking scheme for confessing the women". Dr. Maddox makes a cogent argument in his essay that while differing from Wesley's original December 1738 "Rules of the Band Societies" the author of the rules published here may have been Wesley not Whitefield. Part III "Queries to Mr. Whitefield" pages 20-22 were written by Josiah Tucker and appeared around mid-april 1739. According to Dr. Maddox the queries were "highlighting his discomfort with Whitefields emphasis on extraordinary operations of the Spirit". Part IV "An Answer to the Queries sent to Mr. Whitefield from the Rev. Mr. Tucker Minister of All-Saints Bristol; in a Letter to the Querist" 22-25 is attributed to John Wesley by both the publisher Charles Corbett and Dr. Maddox in his essay. The tone of the reply is quite disdainful. The writer opens: "Had not the Bristol Queries been said to be written by the Rev. Mr. Tucker I should have imagin'd they come from one who had no manner of Notion of Divine Revelation; but as you are a Reverend Minister I must suppose you to be a Christian though you have given great room to think that you believe nothing of the Operations of the Holy Spirit by owning that you do not perceive them in yourself and are hitherto unacquainted with any extraordinary and supernatural Light". He concludes: "If I have mistaken you please to let me know it and tell me both what you mean by the Expressions in which you oppose Mr. W's Notions of supernatural Light and Assistance and what your own Notions are of these Things." Part V of the pamphlet pages 26-31 is Corbett's response to the "Answer to the Queries" followed by his negative assessment of Whitefield. "This Answer is a sophistical Evasion and a false Charge upon the Querist. It turns all upon the Ambiguity of the Words extraordinary and supernatural and feeling or experiencing. Neither the Querist nor any other sober Christian denies the Operation of the Spirit upon our Minds and Hearts; and as this Influence is added to the natural Powers of the Soul it may be called extraordinary or supernatural." Corbett's argument is followed by his contemptuous remarks regarding Whitefield. "Mr. W. in the Character signed by himself has thoroughly satisfied the World of his great natural Abilities and the following Extracts from his last Journal are as strong a Proof of his supernatural Powers and Endowments. Tho' in many of them his Humility be so extraordinary as to put him upon a level with the Prophets and Apostles only yet in others he seems to put himself upon a Foot with Jesus Christ: and the Carnal Letter-learned Established Clergy are rank'd with the false Prophets whom he very candidly threatens with Damnation for opposing him." These statements are followed by nearly three pages of extracts from Whitefield's journal. Part VI is Josiah Tucker's reply to Wesley's answer pages 31-38. It is headed: "The following Reply of Mr. Tucker's not coming to hand 'till all the preceding Part of this Pamphlet was printed off and being willing to make this Collection as complete as I could I have here inserted it". Tucker's reply is dated "OxonJune 14 1739" and includes numerous footnotes by the author. It is especially interesting in that it includes Tucker's attack on the Catechism for female Methodists. He is responding to "Rev. Mr. Hutchins" i.e.John Hutchings b. 1716 who worked closely with Whitefield in Bristol in 1739. "Agreeable to this his Friend and Assistant at Bristol the Rev.Mr. Hutchins put out some Remarks on my Queries wherein with the usual Christian Spirit and Meekness of the Sect he affirms That I had cast a slur upon my gown . . . That I ought to quit the Ministry -- And that I got it by downright Falsehood and Equivocation..His next Attack is on my Phrase and Diction: Here he says I ought not to have asked After what Manner they come into the Mind but after what Manner we are enabled to discern believe and embrace them.But before I take my leave of him I would desire him to consider that if I really was a Deist as he represents me I should not have been such a strenuous Opposer of Mr. Whitefield: No The Deists seem strongly inclin'd to favour his Cause and foment the Division. They in particular are highly delighted with his Shocking scheme for confessing the Women; the graver Part with the Abuse and miserable Perversion of Scripture Sentences and the more dissolute with his indecent and loose Interrogations. This is a Scheme so evidently calculated to promote Vice and Lewdness that many People still persist in thinking 'tis only a waggish Sneer put upon him. But the Gentleman need not be told the contrary; as he appears to be Mr. Whitefields Friend he must know that 'tis a genuine and real Piece approved and recommended by the Heads of the Sect and actually put in Practice both in London and Bristol. Since therefore he has taken upon him to vindicate Mr. Whitefields Principles and Conduct he is hereby called upon publickly to defend it." London: Sold by C. Corbett, Bookseller and Publisher, against St. Dunstan's-Church in Fleet-Street, 1739. paperback

réf. 024201Oyster Bay NY. 1915: Nelson Doubleday/Outing Publishing Co. Octavo. Wallace Stegner's copy with his signature on the front free endpaper and with a note laid in. 320 pp. A daily report of Powell's adventurous exploration of the Colorado River in 1869-70 an expedition that unveiled the breathtaking yet treacherous landscapes of the Grand Canyon. Powell a one-armed Civil War veteran alongside his crew embarked on a daring journey that traversed through uncharted territories revealing not only natural wonders but also the challenges of navigation and survival. The note that was laid in states "Pp. 198-250 could be cut but would be better intact. And we would use the original report for our text. I send this because it's lighter and has Moran's woodcuts. W." We can only surmise that Stegner was referencing his book "Beyond the Hundredth Meridian" and this was sent to his publisher or editor.

1911réf. 169931911. Photo album compiled by a female student at Wellesley College between 1911 and 1919 documents women's higher education collegiate ritual and professional transition into teaching during the Progressive Era. The album traces the compiler's path from secondary schooling through her collegiate years and into her early career as an educator offering sustained visual evidence of female academic community at a time when women's access to advanced scientific and liberal education was expanding but remained institutionally distinct. Founded in 1870 Wellesley College had by the early twentieth century established itself as a leading center for women's study particularly in the sciences employing more female scientists than any other American institution of higher education. The photographs record campus architecture traditions intellectual life and female peer networks situating the album within the broader history of women's collegiate culture and professionalization in the years immediately preceding and during the First World War. Album contains 143 original silver gelatin print photographs dating from 1911 to 1919 mounted on approximately 100 pages within original black cloth boards measuring 9 x 12 inches; photographs range in size from approximately 2 x 3 inches to 4 x 9.5 inches. Numerous images depict Wellesley College campus scenes including Lake Waban and the chapel student residences labeled "Wellesley 1911-1912" and groups of students identified as "Students." Candid captions document daily academic life: six women bundled in hats and coats captioned "Off for math exam" students reading outdoors communal meals and informal portraits labeled with nicknames such as "Chub" "Selina" "Honey" and "Marion." Five photographs record the May Day 1912 "Senior Hoop Rolling" tradition. Additional academic images include interiors labeled "Drawing Room" "Mr. Wilson's Room" "Assembly Room" "Physics Lab" and "Library" at "M.H.S." as well as a group of sixteen boys wearing "M" shirts with three coaches and a trophy banner reading "OCIAA Relay Race 1912." Other collegiate references include "Harmony Hall" with caption "Inmates of H.H. 1913" and two large group photographs of women in white dresses before a banner reading "ETA Clionian" one dated 1914 associated with the teachers' college at New Paltz. Geographic excursions are documented through images labeled Frontenac Point Minnewaska Mohonk Yankee Lake in upstate New York and Digby Nova Scotia. Later photographs depict the compiler's transition into teaching with groups of children labeled "Primary" and "Intermediates" a staged school production featuring children in Pilgrim costumes and a building identified as "Quassaick Hall." Spanning the years 1911 to 1919 the album bridges the final prewar era of Progressive reform and the wartime transformation of American educational institutions. The visual record emphasizes female intellectual labor in mathematics and science campus ritual sororal association and the socially sanctioned pathway from collegiate training to professional teaching. Wellesley's prominence in scientific instruction for women situates the album within broader developments in women's access to laboratory education and academic employment. The inclusion of regional travel and teacher-training imagery further contextualizes the educational mobility of middle-class women in the northeastern United States. One page detached but present; minor handling wear to boards; photographs generally clear with strong contrast; overall very good condition. A cohesive and expansive visual archive documenting women's higher education peer culture and professional formation in the early twentieth century. unknown
