1779ref. BK0134Philadelphia: Joseph Crukshank 1779. 8vo contemporary calf 256 pp. With the ownership signatures of Jonah Woolman and Burr Woolman. Front board and preliminary page detached else good fair condition. A strong association copy of the first edition owned by Jonah Woolman 1733-1799 younger brother of the Quaker minister and abolitionist John Woolman and subsequently by Jonah's son Burr Woolman 1787-1844. Churchman and John Woolman were fellow ministers and worked together directly in the campaign against slaveholding among Friends. In his Journal Churchman records that in 1759 he and Woolman were engaged in "visiting some active members of our Society who held slaves" in Philadelphia and New Jersey; Woolman's own journal likewise records meeting Churchman by agreement in Philadelphia and spending much of a week visiting Friends who held enslaved people. The provenance connects Churchman's account to the immediate family of one of his collaborators in this work. Jonah Woolman was John Woolman's younger brother and Burr Woolman whose ownership signature also appears was Jonah's son. . Joseph Crukshank unknown books

1910ref. List2847Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania; and others 1910. Eleven photographs approximately 7 x 9 ½ inch and smaller. With stamps for Brown Brothers Illustrations Bureau and E.J. Reily verso; most with captions verso. Most with chipping and wear at edges; overall good. Open-air schools became popular in the United States in the early 20th century in response to public health crises including tuberculosis.1 Conducting lessons in open-air classrooms reduced the transmission of diseases which allowed many children to attend school despite their often chronic illnesses. Offered here are eleven photographs of open-air schools three of which are identified as the Phebe Anna Thorne Model School at Bryn Mawr. The Phebe Anna Thorne Model School opened in 1913 under the direction of the College’s president Carey Thomas using funds donated by Samuel Thorne in memory of his sister Phebe Anna.2 The Thornes were an affluent New York Quaker family; Phebe Anna 1828–1909 was the only daughter to survive to adulthood and was a philanthropist and supporter of progressive social causes.3 The school was part of Bryn Mawr’s Department of Education which trained its students in teaching younger pupils rather than those of highschool or college age – the students in most of these photos are probably in about 4th or 5th grade.3 It also allowed testing of more cutting-edge pedagogical practices: the structure of the school was quite experimental including open-air classrooms outdoor naptime a flexible curriculum and less formal assessment. Of interest to scholars of the history of education especially experimental pedagogy. 1 Sherman C. Kingsley & F.B.
