réf. 4086London: Published for the Proprietors by George Virtue 26 Ivy Lane 1839. 4to original half green morocco with ribbed green cloth over boards spine in five compartments gilt title and raised bands; light purple watered silk endpapers with leaf and tendril pattern. Engraved frontis. port. engraved half-title iv 164 pp. 78 steel-engraved views and 1 full-page engraved map with inset. An intimate and rich observation of life in Constantinople in 1836 by Miss Julia Pardoe 1806-1862 in collaboration with popular topographical artist W. H. Bartlett depicting the Ottoman empire during an era of growing European influence and illustrated throughout with delightful engravings after Bartlett. Miss Pardoe traveled to Constantinople with her father in 1836-7 inspiring first the work "City of the Sultan" in 1836 and then the collaborative "Beauties of the Bosphorus" in 1838. In the tradition of travel writer Lady Mary Wortley Montegu Pardoe focuses her attention on the Turkish culture. According to Pardoe "The work Beauties of Bosphorus is purely a descriptive one and I have followed this talented artist Bartlett wheresoever he has led me and found him no inefficient guide. Together we have visited mosques wandered in burial places climbed mountains and glided over the sun-lighted Bosphorus." Indeed illustrated with graceful words and exquisite drawings are: panoramic views camels kiosques Turkish baths slave markets harems aqueducts markets homes the Valley of Sweet Waters and more. Pardoe delighted in the "varying character of the native population constituted as it is by such anomalous materials -- the truthful Turk the wily Greek the stately Armenian and the timid Jew." Also "I was able to penetrate the very center of Turkish society and to domesticate myself with both princes and peasants." The work is dedicated to Mustafa Rechid Pasha a government official who embraced modern reform and was an architect of the Tanzimat constitutional reform. The map entitled "Environs of Constantinople with the Thracian Bosphorus" was drawn and engraved by W. Hughes and depicts Istanbul from the Black Sea in the north to the Sea of Marmara in the south with the Bosphorus separating the "Part of Turkey in Europe" and the "Part of Turkey in Asia." Also included is an inset map entitled "Continuation of the Coast with the Princes Islands."

réf. 31064Small folio two pages plus integral address leaf in very good clean and legible condition. 1819 Grandson of a Signer of the Declaration of Independence supports "Toleration" School for religious liberty. The grandson of Josiah Bartlett the fist Governor of New Hampshire and second signer after John Hancock of the Declaration of Independence was not as active in national politics as his brother Josiah Jr. who served in the New Hampshire State Senate and in the US Congress but Levi took a strong interest in political affairs in his hometown of Kingston as reflected in this letter to a Methodist clergyman who was also a pioneer educator heading three schools he helped found: An Academy in his own hometown of New Market August College in Kentucky and Allegheny College in Pennsylvania a distant forerunner of Wesleyan University. Which is why Bartlett informed Ruter about a controversy over the founding of a new Academy in Kingston. But first he gave Ruter an account of proceedings at the town's Annual Meeting. Bartlett was apparently a Democratic-Republican in his politics and details the votes at the meeting between his party's candidates and their Federalist opponents for local offices for the state legislature and US Congress and for Governor and US Senator. But the main subject of the letter was the establishment of a Kingston Academy and where it should be located: "I am confident if the place of setting it can be removed from the obligation to which we all agreed to be bound can be altered the only place must be on Mr. Loverens to be generally satisfactory. North or South of these two places will produce such a collision as can be remedied only by fixing a spot and opening a new subscription for that place. Mr. Sanborn has dealt with the subscribers in such a way that his land now on any terms will be quite out of the question; notwithstanding the good opinion we may formerly have had of it. Justice will lead to Union selfish policy may prove fatal to the best of causes. I shall ever disclaim the honor of being on the list of benefactors where justice and impartiality are thrown into background. I am conscious of the rectitude of my motives for the public good in the part I have taken in this business. But Calumny hath already attributed to my generosity unworthy motives never conceived by me. I have and still wish for the Public Good in this institution; if it can be had on righteous terms; under this view any place between the two corners that will promote the public good will suit me; But placed as I am no consideration would induce me to consent to injustice. I say to you this that I may not be considered as a mere automaton as easily moulded to selfish motives as to the cause of Truth and Justice." If the highfalutin rhetoric about choosing a school site seems curious it can be understood with some background about the history of the proposed school. While it was incorporated by Methodists at Bartlett's urging they had specified that it should be a "Toleration Academy" open to all faiths - which appealed to Bartlett who was himself a Universalist "apostate" from his family's Congregationalist leanings and was instrumental in having the Methodist founders accede to these "toleration" principles: "That this Academy shall never come into the hands of any one Religious sect or Denomination whatever but shall be known by the name of Kingston Toleration Academy….That no sectarian principle of Religion shall be taught in said Academy; only General principles of Doctrine and Rules of Morality Piety Benevolence & strict Virtue be taught enforced & form a basis of Practical Religion. No one sect shall have greater liberties or privileges than another all tolerated & all put upon an equality." This may be seen in the context of the larger "toleration" movement about to be embraced by the entire state of New Hampshire which at that very moment after a long and heated debate was about to pass a "Toleration Act" which provided "That no person shall be compelled to join or support any congregation church or religious society without his express consent first had and obtained . And any person may be leaving a written notice with the clerk of the society be exempt from any future expenses." Specifically no citizen could be required to help pay funds for a school or any other religious-oriented institution which differed from his own religious faith. It was poetic justice that the grandson of a "Founding Father" should be instrumental in supporting this cause of civil liberty within his own community. books
