1891réf. 2638Various locations in Missouri: May to June 1891. Very good. 54pp. rectos only. Small quarto. Contemporary limp dark brown leather thin gilt borders and gilt lining on spine. Minor wear spine head a bit tender. Clean internally. An interesting collection of observations on American business politics and more from the standpoint of a Scottish lawyer and businessman working in the American Midwest in 1891. According to an 1891 Scottish directory George D. Ballingall was one of three partners in Fraser Stodart and Ballingall of 16 Castle Street in Edinburgh which matches the address he records on the front free endpaper of the present diary. Ballingall and his partners were managing secretaries for a few companies including the Missouri Land and Live Stock Company Limited which provides easy justification for why he was visiting Missouri here. Ballingall himself is listed in the same directory as a member of the Society of Writers to Her Majesty's Signet a private society of notable Scottish solicitors. The present diary covers Ballingall's time in various locations in Missouri in May and June 1891. He discusses politics real estate farming mining prospects and most intensely the law. He records his experiences in St. Louis Joplin Pierce City and other locations visiting mines taking meetings and providing consultations gathering his own legal advice and more. Ballingall devotes the last several pages of the diary to various legal acts in the Missouri legislature and ponders how they will affect his business interests in the state the affairs of corporations foreign reporting requirements and so forth. He also discusses the evergreen topic involving the struggle between federal and state powers. He concludes by discussing how Missouri farmers organized as did the farmers in Kansas and how this new faction of the "people's party" controls the legislature now. May to June unknown

réf. 000785Soft cover. Good. Duneidin: Clodh-Bhuailte le Iain Collie 1826 that is Edinburgh Ian Collie 1826. The title translates as "The Second Book for Gaelic Schools Maintained by the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland". 24mo 980 x 138mm pp72 including Introduction signed I M'D; sewn into blue sugar-paper covered thin card boards the back one creased; binding a little scuffed and worn internally clean and firm although clearly used. . . . Although churches are not part of the establishment in Scotland unlike in England the Church of Scotland is considered the national church of the country. It's presbyterian in form governed by the individual local congregations through Kirk Sessions of Elders in conjunction with the annual General Assembly and dates in form and approach largely from the Scottish Reformation of 1560 led primarily by John Knox and when the former Papal jurisdiction was repudiated by Parliament though not endorsed by the continuing Catholic Mary Queen of Scots. However its antecedents date much further back. Widened education of children and the public was a major aim of the reformers and schools began to be established funded by the Kirk by local councils and to some extent by parents where possible. Reform and extension of the then four universities also occurred these widening the curricula introducing specialist teaching and allowing the challenging of received wisdom bringing the teaching to the equal of anywhere in Europe at the time. . . . NOTE that as the book is very light in weight and small it will be sent post free on any order. paperback
