Her coronation was held at Westminster Abbey a year later on June 28 1838; this panorama illustrates her procession to Westminster. The coronation was a huge occasion for celebration and four hundred thousand visitors descended upon London to see the new Queen being crowned. In her diary the nineteen-year-old Victoria set down an account of this the greatest day in her young life: "I was awoke at four o'clock by the guns in the Park and could not get much sleep afterwards on account of the noise of the people bands etc. etc. Got up at seven feeling strong and well; the Park presented a curious spectacle crowds of people up to Constitution Hill soldiers bands etc. I dressed having taken a little breakfast before I dressed and a little after. At half-past nine I went into the next room dressed exactly in my House of Lords costume." "At 10 I got into the State Coach with the Duchess of Sutherland and Lord Albemarle and we began our progress. It was a fine day and the crowds of people exceeded what I have ever seen; Their good humour and excessive loyalty was beyond everything and I really cannot say how proud I feel to be the Queen of such a nation. ". After the ceremony At about half-past four I re-entered my carriage the Crown on my head and the Sceptre and Orb in my hands and we proceeded the same way as we came-the crowds if possible having increased. The enthusiasm affection and loyalty were really touching and I shall ever remember this day as the PROUDEST of my life! I came home a little after six really not feeling tired. At eight we dined." "On the day of Queen Victoria's coronation four hundred thousand visitors descended on London to see the new queen. Fores publishing house had been established in the 1780s by Samuel William Fore 1761-1838 with his shop in Piccadilly London. It specialized in caricature and memorabilia and was at one time reputed to have the largest collection of caricatures." Bobins. Abbey Life 539; Bobins IV 1303. London: Messrs.

Liverpool EnglandABAA

Victorian British Urban History Henry Sampson Stereoviews of Liverpool circa 1860s

rif. 20870Sampson Henry. Two stereoviews of Liverpool circa 1860s document the civic architecture commemorative landscape and street activity of a major Victorian port city. One view records St. George's Hall Liverpool's monumental neoclassical complex of law courts and concert spaces while the second shows the equestrian monument to King George III on London Road. Together the images capture public buildings and monuments as active parts of the urban environment providing visual evidence for the study of Victorian Liverpool architectural photography civic commemoration transportation and the nineteenth-century stereograph trade. National Museums Liverpool dates Sampson's view of the London Road monument to approximately the 1860s and identifies him as a photographer working from Southport. Two sepia-toned albumen stereographs mounted on cards each measuring approximately 6 by 3 inches. The St. George's Hall view presents the building's long classical façade and columned portico beyond a broad street occupied by pedestrians and horse-drawn vehicles. The second card titled "The Monument London-road" depicts the fenced equestrian statue of King George III on its elevated stone pedestal with surrounding buildings establishing its original urban setting. The paired exposures on each card were intended to produce a three-dimensional image when examined through a stereoscope. Sampson's surviving Liverpool stereographs include views dated approximately 1865 to 1870 supporting a mid-nineteenth-century attribution for the group. These views preserve Liverpool's built environment during a period of commercial expansion and civic investment using stereoscopic photography to make the city's architectural landmarks available to viewers beyond Liverpool itself. Both cards retain clear photographic detail and even sepia tonality; no tears significant fading or losses are reported. Near fine condition. A complementary pair of early urban views joining monumental architecture public sculpture and observable Victorian street life. unknown books

"The woodcut border on the title-page which depicts the story of C. Mucius Scaevola and King Porsenna McKerrow & Ferguson 8 was adapted from a design by Hans Holbein for the De immortalitate animae by Aeneas Gazaeus printed by Froben in Basel in 1516." Sotheby's.

Boards double ruled in gilt and with gilt bees as corner devices. All edges gilt. Leaves very clean. Binding with staining and repairs to corners. Old ink manuscript on front board. Final blank leaf professionally repaired. Overall a very good copy. It was perhaps as early as 1516 that Cardinal Wolsey anxious to distract him from more worldly preoccupations first encouraged Henry VIlI to embark on a serious rejoinder to Luther 49. In so doing Wolsey wrought his own downfall and this was perhaps the least of the consequences of 'The Assertion of the Seven Sacraments' one of the most fateful books in the history of western civilisation. Despite his unfeigned zeal to extirpate heresy it was not until Henry began to take a serious interest in foreign affairs that he realised the practical value which such a work might have if dedicated to the Pope. It is difficult to estimate the spiritual influence of the papacy at a time when the vast majority of Christendom saw It as a not specially powerful temporal state; but it was none the less felt. How much Henry's anxiety to complete the book between May and July 1521 was activated real if romantic desire to become the champion of the papacy it is hard to say. This point of view may be supported by Henry's statement to a startled and incredulous Thomas More 47 that 'from that See we received our crown imperial. More could see the dangers of so firm commitment to the temporal if not to the spiritual power of the papacy and his misgivings were soon to be justified a hundredfold. Henry gained the recognition he sought from Leo X the title of Fidei Defensor. But had he not made so absolute an admission of papal authority it is unlikely that he would have felt so personally slighted by the Pope's refusal to give him his way in his 'great matter' the divorce from Catherine of Aragon; unlikely that he would have turned with such vehemence on almost all the advisers. More among them who had made his reign so successful hitherto; unlikely that he would have claimed the royal supremacy in the Church; unlikely- but there speculation must stop. Suffice it to say that the publication of the Assertio must be considered to mark a critical moment in the history of the English Reformation." PMM 50. ESTC S123359. PMM 50. STC 13078.

Third Annual Report of the Board of Managers of the New England Anti Slavery Society 1835 an early institutional document of organized abolitionism that records the structure leadership and expanding influence of the New England Anti Slavery Society during a formative stage of the movement. Issued four years after the Society's founding in 1831 under the leadership of William Lloyd Garrison editor of The Liberator the report documents the transition from localized reform efforts to a coordinated national campaign through affiliated societies. The text situates abolition as a moral and political imperative asserting the rapid growth of antislavery sentiment and anticipating legislative abolition. Garrison and Knapp. Third Annual Report of the Board of Managers of the New England Anti Slavery Society. Boston: Garrison and Knapp 1835. First edition. Pamphlet. The report includes the Society's constitution lists of officers detailed subscription and donation records and a treasurer's report alongside rosters of life and honorary members. Named figures include William Lloyd Garrison Moses Brown Thomas Clarkson Josiah Wedgwood and William Wilberforce linking American abolitionist organizing to transatlantic reform networks. The closing statement declares "Thousands and tens of thousands of conscientious persons are already beginning to look upon slaveholding in its true light as an atrocious crime. it will have been abolished by the State legislatures" expressing confidence in the accelerating spread of antislavery conviction.

Women's Education; England School For GirlsABAA

Women's Education Public Secondary Schools for Girls in Britain 1903 and 1905

1903rif. 180101903. Association of Head Mistresses. List of Public Secondary Schools for Girls 1903 and 1905 records the geographic extent of secondary schooling available to girls in Britain during the early twentieth-century expansion of women's education. Founded in 1874 by Frances Mary Buss and other headmistresses of endowed and proprietary schools the Association developed from efforts to improve the standards and institutional position of girls' secondary education. These two successive lists arrange schools by county providing contemporary evidence of where public secondary education for girls was available and allowing comparison across localities and between the two publication years. Their dates follow three decades in which girls gained broader access to academically oriented schools and universities although educational equality remained contested; in 1897 Cambridge rejected a proposal granting women the titles of degrees followed by riotous celebrations by male undergraduates. Women were not admitted to full membership of Cambridge until 1948. Two pamphlets issued by the Association of Head Mistresses dated 1903 and 1905 each measuring 8.5 x 5.5 inches. Soft blue covers are printed "One Shilling Published by the Educational Supply Association 42 Holborn Viaduct E.C." Entries within each pamphlet are organized by county and identify public secondary schools open to girls at the time of publication. The format turns the changing institutional landscape of girls' education into a contemporary directory recording individual schools by place rather than describing educational reform retrospectively. Both front covers bear stamps reading "Board of Education Library" and "Supplied Public Service" each incorporating the royal crown; the back covers retain red "Board of Education Reference Library" stickers. These official library markings document their presence within a government educational reference collection. 1 Association of Head Mistresses. List of Public Secondary Schools for Girls. London: Educational Supply Association 1903. Arranged geographically by county the pamphlet enumerates secondary schools then available to girls and provides a contemporary reference point for the distribution of female secondary education at the beginning of the Edwardian period. Its Board of Education Library markings also preserve evidence of institutional reference use. 2 Association of Head Mistresses. List of Public Secondary Schools for Girls. London: Educational Supply Association 1905. Issued two years after the first pamphlet this updated county-by-county listing permits direct comparison of the provision of girls' secondary schools between 1903 and 1905. The directory appeared during the continuing expansion of educational opportunities that connected secondary schooling with women's increasing access to higher education; the University of London had begun awarding degrees to women on equal terms with men in 1878 while access elsewhere remained uneven. Textblocks tight bright and clean. Both pamphlets overall very good condition. The consecutive editions preserve a measurable record of girls' secondary education by county at a time when women educators and school leaders were establishing institutions capable of preparing girls for examinations professional training and higher education. unknown books
