1853réf. 010796Philadelphia 1853. Envelope or Cover. Very good. This stampless folded letter is written on bifold stationery that measures 15.5" x 10" unfolded. It is datelined "Philadelphia 4th Nove. 1853" and was sent by Sunrow Paey sp to the Reverend Patrick Reilly the founder and headmaster of St. Mary's College in Wilmington Delaware. It bears a bold Philadelphia 5 postmark in blue and features a large letterhead illustration of the school. In nice shape. Paey was perhaps a patron or the father of attending students. His letter reads in part: "My brother has arrived today and . . . wants to spend 2 or 3 more days hear . . . so you see I can not visit on Monday. I send you with this the two papers that my father sent for you and a letter . . . you will please give the other paper to the boys. . ." . In 1834 the relatively recently ordained parish priest in Wilmington Patrick Reilly established a boarding school for boys in his residence in part to cover the expenses he incurred to care for his aging mother. It included only elementary subjects and operated on a very small scale until 1839 when many parishioners familiar with the Sisters of Charity's St. Peter's Female Academy petitioned him to expand his school which he did accepting 19 "scholars" in that first year and 28 the next. Demand increased especially following the arrival of Potato Famine immigrants and Reilly enlarged his school several times and by 1845 he was accepting boys from Baltimore Philadelphia and New York. He also expanded his curriculum to accommodate demand and began offering preparatory and college courses. With support and funding from the non-Catholic DuPont family he was able to acquire a college charter in 1847 and St. Mary's became one of the premier Catholic colleges of the east. It thrived enrolling students from Delaware Georgia Maryland Mississippi New Jersey New York Pennsylvania South Carolina Virginia Costa Rica and Cuba. The loss of Southern students with the outbreak of the Civil War was a major blow to the school and after the Bishop of Philadelphia ordered Reilly to devote his effort to build and pastor a new St. Mary's Church in Wilmington the college foundered closing its doors in 1866. For more information see Peterman's "History of St. Mary's College Wilmington Delaware 1847-1867" in the September 1966 edition of Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia. A nice illustrated lettersheet featuring one of the earliest and most important Catholic colleges in the United States. . unknown

1843réf. 0001770Baltimore Maryland MD - at Sea Aboard the Charles 1843. On offer are two 2 super original manuscript relics of Christian outreach and missionary work handwritten by Reverend Walter Gunn one of the first missionaries to India addressed to Frederick Schott of Waterloo New York. Bio notes follow. The first is a one 1 page letter written by Gunn dated 1843 while in Baltimore. The second letter is written by Rev. Gunn while on the boat "The Charles" heading to India in 1844. He has been at sea for 138 days. This is a 3¼ page letter. Here are snippets: 1 "Baltimore May 24 1843 Dear Brother in the Lord I should like to write a long letter to you and enter into many particulars but I have but only a few moments to spare as Bro Selmser is soon to leave B. and I have a press of business on hand. Well how do you do. How is your family and how do your souls prosper. Is Christ precious are you actively engaged in his service. O my brother watch your heart your words and your actions and strive to live so that the flame of love may burn brightly in your heart to God. How pleasant it would be for me to enjoy the hospitalities of your table again to bow with you again around the family altar to walk to the house of God in company but instead of walking the street of Waterloo I shall soon be walking the deck of the vessel that bears me to the heathen land. But shall I ever forget you and the beloved brethren of W. No. Even now while going from house to house among the brethren in imagination the tears fall upon the paper and bedew these lines I write .Your brother in Christ Walter Gunn." 2 "Ship Charles Indian Ocean March 25th 1844 Dear Brother Shutt While penning these lines I am sailing up the Indian Ocean towards the shores of Hindustan. I have crossed the equator twice doubled the Cape of Good Hope and shall in a few weeks I trust reach my field of labor. But though I am separated from you by a distance of so many thousand miles I have not forgotten you no in imagination I often walk the streets of Waterloo visit the houses of the brethren and join in your acts of worship in the congregation. The different articles of apparel that I wear at this moment remind me of you and many others in W. While contemplating the interesting scenes that transpire in your place one year ago my eyes often fill with tears. Were not those precious and heavenly seasons when you and so many of your associates and friends took a stand on the Lord's side. Though I am now denied the privilege of witnessing such glorious displays of the power and grace of God in the conviction and conversion of sinners I do not on that account conclude that I am out of the path of duty. True it would be a pleasing task for the minister of Christ to be engaged daily in the work of directing the inquiring to the Savior and strengthening those who had just commenced running the Christian course. But that privilege at present is denied me. From no one for the last few months have I heard the inquiry "What must I do to be saved." Except the missionaries who are going with me to the heathen. I am surrounded by those who seem to think but little of their undying souls .You will undoubtedly wish to know how I feel now that I am so far away from kindred friends and natives land with but little prospect of ever seeing them again. To answer for the most part I feel cheerful contented and happy. Often have I seen the ocean all lashed into commotion the vessel at one moment raised upon the top of a mighty billow and the next plunged into the fearful chasm below; at such a moment it seemed as though we must all be engulfed beneath the troubled ocean but even then my mind has been calm and unruffled .Tell your sister Mrs. Bean that the pantaloons she made me became very spotted by the damp weather around the Cape of Good Hope but that the spots did not make them any the less comfortable. Tell Jackson that I hope and pray that he may become a minister. Tell Mrs. Mayer that my wife often speaks of her and the pleasant time that they spent together in Johnstown and Whitesboro. Tomorrow or next day we expect that our vessel will anchor in the harbor of Amherst in Burmah. One hundred and thirty eight days I have been tossed upon the billows of the ocean without setting my feet on land and many more anxious days will pass before I reach Guntur the field of my labor. Pray for me and my companion that we may be preserved from the temptations to which we are exposed and that we may be the faithful servants of Christ among the heathen. Yours in the bonds of Christian love Walter Gunn. Near the shores of Burmah April 3rd 1844." BIO NOTES: "The Rev. W. Gunn. The Missionary was a graduate of Union College N.Y. in 1841; studied theology at Gettysburg; was ordained by the Hartwick Synod in 1843 at Johnstown; appointed missionary to India in the same year; arrived at Guntur on June 18th 1844 and was a faithful and an indefatigable colleague of the Rev. Mr. Heyer until 1851 when after a period of seven years service in the cause of Jesus he departed this life at Guntur esteemed and loved by all who knew him. He is spoken of as a good man full of zeal for the Lord so much so that on one occasion in the Guntur bazaar he became so indignant at some idolatrous performances of the heathen that he lifted up his voice in great earnest against the idolaters who became exasperated at him and consequently proceeded to pelt him with stones. But he prudently withdrew from the enraged rabble only to return on subsequent occasions to continue publishing the message of salvation to them. His remains rest in the Guntur Cemetery until the day of the resurrection. He died while in Guntur in 1851 from Tuberculosis." "Reverend Adam Long went to India almost immediately after being ordained. The Lutheran mission to India was still in its early phases when Long arrived it have been started in the Andhra region by Rev. John Christian Frederick Heyer in 1842 who at 48 and widowed was an anomaly compared to other missionaries. He was joined by the Rev. and Mrs. Water Gunn another Gettysburg College and Seminary graduate in 1844 and by Rev. George Martz in 1849. There these men and Gunn's wife Lorena began the task of educating and converting Indians. In a country that is dominated by the polytheistic Hinduism and Mohammedanism this was not an easy task. Traveling from village to village these men and women counted their accomplishments by the individuals that they could convert and the schools and churches that they built. .

1824réf. 0009038MANCHESTER UK ROTTERDAM HAGUE NETHERLANDS HOLLAND. Good. 1824. On offer is a short but fascinating travel book of one wealthy young Englishmans journey to Rotterdam and The Hague Holland in 1824. It is a unique and rare look at the travel of English aristocracy in the first half of the 19th century the last great age of the English landed gentry. The book is 30 pages in length of which writing is on every single page. Every page is filled with excursions observations and examples of lavish living for William Money his father and his cousin as they travel first to Rotterdam and then spend over a month in The Hague living at quite a fancy hotel exploring the city itself and taking day trips to landmarks around the country. The little book also includes descriptions of lavish dinners and days being waited on driven and doted on by servants and friends. It begins in the Summer 1824: June 25 1824. To commence my narrative I will give a short account of the two last days before our embarkation to Holland. I went to bed rather late on Sunday and was very tired. I had been running about Town the whole day had my teeth filed By the abominable dentist which is one of the Miserries of human life. My head was distracted in short I was a picture of misery.; June 26. The servants awoke me rather early this morning about five OClock however I was much refreshed and went to work like one who had done nothing but I forgot to state that I went to dine at a Gentlemans house on Friday and after all when I came home I had to prepare my things for Holland. Well to go on with my story we get off from No. 9 Manchester Street Manchester Square at 6 oclock this was Saturday morning June 26th 1824 our Party consisted of three my precious Father my cousin and myself. We had a gentleman's carriage to take us about town and a hackney coach to carry our luggage to the Tower that place which has executed French of the greatest and has been destroyed with Royal blood by the hoards of unnatural rebellion. The next day they are on a sailboat going from the East Coast of England and then landing in the Netherlands the next day: June 27th. Went on deck. I was expecting to see nothing but blue skies and the watery ocean but was pleasantly astonished at seeing land all around. This was lacey land I Know it by that name because the Dutch gobble so. We soon got into the river Maas after a fine voyage. We then eat our hearty breakfast.We here took up a pistol and tacked along at a fine rate saw plenty of Tony-legged bison which they called Storks. We got to Rotterdam at 12. From the instant of arrival Money is taken aback by how clean and orderly the Dutch cities are and how kind and lovely the Dutch people are as well. The layout of the cities with the canals and bridges also is commented on quite frequently. June 28th1824. We took Breakfast at Home. we went out with with and enjoyed the town. It is an elegant clean looking place. Trees shaded the walk from the burning sun and canals divide the Principal Streets. However we saw nothing no hous as they call it but came home to dinner at 4. Here we had a bottle of Mousel for dinner we went out again so that I was very tired we then came home and had tea at Mr. Mackplats where we had another Prayer and a delightful conversation. He accompanied us home where I soon got to bed and fast asleep.; After two days in Rotterdam it is off to the Hague where Money and his father and cousin will spend the rest of their time in Holland. Drove off to the Hague with which Place we are most highly delighted. I the beauty of it. It far surpassed my places that I have seen. We walked everywhere the People the PLace and all are so clean. We came to the Hotel de Belle where we have so very nice rooms that had attendance the man who drove us here cheated as that. We were not long here before . Of the gentleman who got these rooms for Papa he took us out to Table d`ote d`hotewhere we dined . This was 4 oclock and had an excellent dinner and a bottle of vin ordinaire called Bordeau.after dinner we went to Mr. Ls house to get him to show us the Place. He showed us everything in the wood.` The `wood` is most probably the Haagse Bos a rectangular neighbourhood and forest in the Haagse Hout district of The Hague Netherlands. This was simply called Die Hout The Woods Mr. L.made a capital bargain with the man only one Golden to go to that sweet Ducking Place the old man of the Place has fishing boats to go over to England for something or other. We came back after a good bathe.We then came home and prepared for dinner and went to Table Doht d`hote and after that we came back and then went to the Wood where we had tea.; After early June there are no entries until late July. July 23 1824. We got up at seven and had breakfast. We set off at 8 in a caravan with Mr. London and Mr. Tosc. We reached Leyden at 9 very much interested.We first went to the University where we saw all of plenty Indians what from all parts of the globe. We saw there a tree which was brought from Egypt in 1573 just about the time when Leyden was besieged. It was made a present by William the first and planted there We then went to the museum and saw curious specimens of all types. Mr. London went to the Anatomy Hall to gut us to see a Head. He came back saying we could only see one which was most beautiful all the views of the Head Neck and parts of the body it was very interesting.; Money also has a deep regard for the engineering works of the day and has a special fascination for the canals and waterways of Holland. We had dinner and then went to to see the sluis the most Beautiful work I ever saw. It was begun in 1784 and finished in 1787. The whole country was inundated by the overflowing of the Bacchus of the Nile. It was like a sea but now these are houses where there was formerly nothing but water. This formed so when the sea is very boisterous there's a good deal of sand connected to the side of the gate so that it is had to clear away as it is on the sea side. The way they do it is the precipe overflows then they lift the gates all of a sudden which goes with such force that it forces the sand away.`` This is accompanied by a page-length drawing of the canal with it`s locks and steps and houses on each sides. The drawing is amateur but well done. The book is in very good shape structurally. The writing is clear and concise script done in black ink. A few pages have some smudging and one page in particular has a good bit of ink fading but which impedes legibility but does not make it impossible. The front cover of the journal states: `Short account of a holiday spent in The Hague by William Money later Rev. William in the summer of 1824 when he was 22 years old.` This is not in Money`s handwriting and was added later by an unknown person.; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF REVEREND WILLIAM MONEY ENGLISH GENTLEMAN LANDED GENTRY 19TH CENTURY ROTTERDAM MANCHESTER ENGLAND UNITED KINGDOM THE HAGUE DEN HAAG DIE HOUT LEYDEN LEIDEN THE NETHERLANDS HOLLAND CANALS IN THE NETHERLANDS FLOOD CONTROL EXTRAVAGANT TRAVEL TABLE DHOTE SLUICE GATE AGE OF BRITISH NOBILITY COLONIAL ERA ENGLAND BRITANNICA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO DANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . unknown
1850réf. 0010080France. Good with no dust jacket. 1850. Ephemera. On offer is an outstanding example of the Catholic Churchs teachings at a grass-roots level in 19th century France. This beautiful handwritten sermon is titled Sermon de III Dimanche de Careme Sermon for the 3rd Sunday of Lent and notes that it is given by Monsieur le Cure the Parish Priest. The handwriting is small and clear and an excellent example of the penmanship of the time. The source of the sermon is unknown. There is no specific reference to a parish community or author. We do know from its title that it was written to be given at a mass on the 3rd Sunday of Lent. The Easter Season of Lent and Easter Sunday is the most important in the Catholic church more so than Christmas. An excerpt from the sermon: Les miracles que Dieu fait en notre faveire sont toujours des marques de la bonte et de la misericordie et les infirmites que JC aurit sont la figures des differentes maladies de notre ame .Translation: The miracles that God does in our favor are always marks of goodness and mercy and the infirmities that JC would have are the images of the different diseases of our soul.Throughout his text you can see where he has crossed out words and edited expressions. This was very much a living manuscript in his hands. For a social historian this is an excellent look into the world of the average French person and into the thought processes of the clergy who so dominated life in the small towns and villages of France in the 19th century. This manuscript measures 6.0 inches by 6.25 inches and contains 34 carefully handwritten pages. It is 100% complete. The manuscript is simply folded along a centre line.

1770réf. 0012203England: 18th Century Religious Sermons Early Typography Manuscript Christian. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1770. Hardcover. On offer is a beautiful hard-bound collection of sermons written by many prominent religious scholars of the time dating from late 18th century England and curated by the Reverend Dr. John Trusler 1735-1820. The book is a collection of sermons and homilies. They include homilies with such titles as On domestic Happiness The notice of the World a motive to virtue The Advantage of Public or Private Calamities On partaking of other men's Sins and more. The collection belonged to William Armstrong whose name appears on the front flyleaf. However our informal research has not found any additional information about him. From some notes made in the book this volume was used in 1770-1771. Curated by Rev John Trusler the sermons are printed with beautiful early typography intended to mimic manuscript font. This was a part of Truslers lucrative scheme in which he proposed printing sermons in script type to imitate handwriting and then sell them to clergymen who did not want to write their own sermons. Each sermon is credited to their original author at the end. Included sermons are credited to Baptist minister James Foster 1697-1753 British Unitarian minister William Enfield 1741-1797 Anglican clergyman Laurence Sterne Archbisop of Canterbury William Wake 1657-1737 and Bishop of Chichester Thomas Manningham 1651 -1722. A few sermons are listed as compiled and some are not credited but include additional notes and annotations from the collections curator Rev John Trusler. Trusler has signed his name in ink at the end of many of the sermons. This book is an example of Dr. Truslers early attempts at establishing a printing and bookselling business. In 1769 Trusler sent circulars to every parish in England and Ireland proposing to print in script type in imitation of handwriting about a hundred and fifty sermons at the price of one shilling each to save the clergy both study and the trouble of transcribing Wikipedia. This collection of sermons therefore seems to be an example of Truslers sermon curation peppered with his own additions and notes some in the form of small attached pages others in the form of full pages of manuscript notes. Before becoming a printer and bookseller Trusler took his holy orders and became a priest in 1759 rising through the ranks of British clergy work. He also worked as a lecturer eventually establishing an academic academy only to give it up when it was not lucrative and move on to medical school at Leyden University. While his name does not appear in their catalogue of graduates he did assume the title of doctor. In the end his most lucrative undertaking was his sermon sales and publishing business in which he published many books including his own memoir. This absolutely remarkable unique relic of 18th century British Christian history and early typography would be a sensational asset to any library and the sermons contained within provide an excellent window into the religious/moral thinking of the day as preached in Christian congregations in England Interesting to note one single annotated page of a sermon contained in this book in the same typescript sold for 1500 British pounds through Forum Auctions in September of 2021. The volume measures approximately 8.5 inches by 5.5 inches and contains 100 pages. The hard covers although stained are in good condition. The pages are all in excellent condition save for one page with some rips and tears. Both the typography and handwriting is not only clear but beautifully done. The title Sermons M.

2017ill., br. Che cosa significa nutrire un bambino? Perché, dallo svezzamento in poi, molti genitori entrano in un circuito d'ansia e preoccupazione? La buona alimentazione dei piccoli, fondamentale per il loro corretto sviluppo psicofisico, è una sfida quotidiana che richiede tempo, sensibilità e pazienza. Ed è un mattone fondamentale per costruire un rapporto positivo con il cibo, fondato sul piacere e sulla formazione del gusto personale. Questo libro parte proprio da qui. Risponde a dubbi, perplessità e timori e si fa bussola preziosa per affrontare nel modo giusto i molti compiti e responsabilità che investono quanti si occupano della crescita e dell'educazione di un bambino. È un manuale che offre spiegazioni, proposte nutrizionali, consigli comportamentali e approfondimenti sui temi dell'alimentazione infantile. È anche un ricettario ricco, vario e appetitoso, per preparare ogni giorno un menù sempre bilanciato, con il giusto apporto calorico, e per educare i bambini a conoscere e apprezzare i più diversi sapori.

2018br. Diventare autonomi significa percorrere un cammino nel corso dell'infanzia e dell'adolescenza. Per certi aspetti ciò può spaventare i genitori, perché richiede di lasciar andare i propri "piccoli" e di non tenerli sotto la propria ala. L'autonomia è una questione di educazione, amore e fiducia. Scopo di questo libro è di aiutare i genitori a prendere le decisioni giuste dando loro riferimenti chiari e insegnando a: spronare i figli a crescere ma senza forzarli; non avere paura di incoraggiare, fidarsi e lasciar fare; "mollare le redini" in sicurezza, aprendo a poco a poco prima le braccia e poi... la porta di casa. Perché l'autonomia è qualcosa di più del semplice mangiare o giocare da soli: è una questione di vita. Favorire l'autonomia, sia emotiva sia materiale, dare l'esempio e poi lasciar andare è il vero obiettivo dell'educazione. Un atto d'amore.
