"The facts presented in the following pages may perhaps not be accepted without surprise and wonder as to their authenticity. The world at large has not yet quite appreciated the full extent of the secret intrigues which were carried on in the former German Empire before and during WWI that was to break its might and destroy it. And yet the whole fabric of German politics was built on these intrigues. From the time that Bismarck instituted his famous Bureau of Espionage these machinations were steadily going on throught the whole of Europe and in America as well and it seems desirable that the activity of this bureau in its nefarious work in Russia be exposed." - page 1. 8 293 pp. Frontispiece photo of Trotzky and Lenine marshalling their forces for revolt plus eight additional black and white plates.

"The revolutionary unrest which to-day afflicts the entire world goes far deeper than is generally supposed. Its root-cause is not Russian Bolshevik propaganda nor the late war nor the French Revolution but a process of racial impoverishment which destroyed the great civilizations of the past and which threatens to destroy our own. In light of recent biological discoveries confirmed and amplified by investigations in other fields of science especially psychology all political and social problems need to be re-examined. Such a re-examination of one of these problems - the problem of social revolution - has been attempted in the present book." - Preface. "Lothrop Stoddard 1883-1950 was an American historian journalist and political scientist. He wrote several books advocating eugenics white supremacy Nordicism and scientific racism. His books were once widely read both inside and outside the United States. This book introduced the term Untermensch the German translation of 'Under-man' into Nazi conceptions of race.

Worn at the edges and corners spines a little dry but intact and attractive overall. Volume 1 with a single title page some copies were apparently bound with a second title page noting Estienne the publisher of the Folio edition. Old bookplates inside covers ownership marks and stamps to titles and first pages occasionally trimmed a little close on the top edge just touching the running title scattered minor pencil marks light dampstain to the corners of a section of vol vii but otherwise clean and a very good set overall. This is the second edition of Thou's history published 1604-1608 and the first octavo edition. It was published just after the Folio edition a few months after for the first volumes and almost simultaneously thereafter. The first two octavo volumes corresponding to the first folio volume and printed in 1604 identified here as Pars I and Partis Primae Tomus II is bound in four volumes as is the second volume published in two octavo volumes in 1606 and corresponding to the Folio volume also published in 1606. They are identified as Tomus Secundi Pars Prima and Tomi Secundi Pars altera. The final volume identified as Libri VI is bound in one and published in 1608 the Folio edition was published in 1607-8. Because Thou was editing and changing his systems of identification as he published the books the naming system is a little odd - this final volume follows the third and fourth octavo volumes and not the first two in how it is numbered. 1005pp index; 1013 index; 958 index; 886 index; 501 privilege index.

1849réf. List3731Albany New York 1849. Notebook measuring 7 ¾ x 10 ½ inches. 124pp filled out totaling appx. 49000 words. With two loose essays 7pp. Front cover detached with wear especially to edges and spine; good. Contents excellent. Overall very good. A notebook containing transcriptions of lectures by Profs. William F. Phelps Silas Bown and William W. Clark of the New York State Normal School now SUNY Albany. The three professors were graduates of the school's first class in 1846 and became professors there upon graduating. The notebook is highlighted by ten pages of notes documenting Phelps' extensive and detailed lecture on schoolteaching. The lecture dates to early in Phelps' career shortly after his own graduation; the educational pioneer would go on to preside over a number of normal schools and the American Normal School Association found the National Education Association serve as vice-president of the first International Conference of Educators and author textbooks and manuals for teaching. The lecture is titled "Organization of the school" and is divided into sixteen sections covering different aspects of teaching. He opens: "The organization of the school is the most important step in the teacher's duties and the most important and critical time in his life as a teacher; this is especially with the young teacher. He enters the school as it were an apprentice and is to work upon the most delicate material without having first learned his trade . the material upon which the teacher acts is immortal and an injury done to it will last forever." Teaching for Phelps had to involve more than just "taking up a reading book and calling out a class and hearing them read around then commanding them to take their seats" and repeating the same process with every subject-especially for a new teacher on his first day. He lays out his preferred first-day procedure-an introduction by the trustees then a short speech followed by a "little song" or "amusing or instructive anecdote"-but emphasizes that "The spirit of kindness should be breathed forth in every sentence; nor should he forget to speak kindly to those he meets in the streets." He then turns to the classification of students with short exams on the various subjects along with careful attention to the students so "that you may learn their habits" again emphasizing the teacher's attitude towards his pupils: "He should learn the names of the scholars as soon as possible; for it is very disagreeable not to be able to call the name of a scholar when you wish to speak to him. Never call a boy Mr. or a girl Miss; for you miss it every time you Miss your school-girls it will make them grow too fast." Next Phelps makes suggestions for getting one's preferred textbooks adopted. One can appeal to the trustees and then to the parents and then if this fails the teacher can follow Phelps' scheme of purchasing the preferred books himself lending them out for free and "exciting a deep interest in their lessons": "The parents will soon begin to wonder at the change that has taken place in their children once they could not persuade them to look at their books but now they do nothing but study. You will thus wake up the parents to a sense of the utility of the books". Parents according to Phelps also need to be convinced that a longer lesson is not necessarily a better one: "If the teacher gives them long lessons and thus runs them through . they call him a smart man." However a short lesson is easier to learn and well-learned lessons "will soon cause the objections of parents to give way". His other advice concerns seating arrangements-"according to size if you are a lover of symmetry"-how to dismiss students for recess and tracking and managing absences and tardies which he states should mainly be managed by making the lessons interesting and the classroom pleasant. He closes by describing how the teacher ought to enact "a missionary spirit": "Let the first two or three weeks of your school be spent in visiting the parents in the district and becoming acquainted with them and giving them an opportunity of becoming acquainted with you. . Do not forget to talk to them about their children. Show them that you are laboring for the good of those children - that you love them and wish to do them all the good in your power. If you have the teacher's spirit they will soon find it out . If you possess the art of being agreeable in private conversation and in addition to this exercise true politeness in all occations sic you will never have any trouble in finding a pleasant boarding place. And when you do go there you will find as good a living as you want and the pies and sweet cake will be on hand. You will also be able to teach the parents many things . and then you may consider your school as 'Thoroughly Organized'." One imagines that Phelps' meticulous lecture with its emphases on kindness and making schooling enjoyable for students and parents was quite inspiring to the soon-to-be teacher; the practices he outlines set the foundation for his future career. Bowen's lectures cover rhetoric and composition-especially focusing on good taste defined as "the power of receiving pleasure from the beautiful of nature or art"-and Clark's cover chemistry natural philosophy and electricity. Throughout there are interesting comments that expose the professors' underlying philosophies and thus approaches to teaching: for instance Bowen comments that "Persons by nature are differently constituted some naturally possessing a more refined taste than others" and Clark states that "All knowledge is acquired through the senses" and that "Natural History is not a science" but mere classification. The notebook also includes a short lecture on music a transcription of a chapter of Charles Babbage's Ninth Bridgewater Treatise and two short apparently original essays one on technological progress and the other on wisdom. Of interest to historians of education and of the early days of SUNY Albany. books
1719réf. 5206Madrid: M R de Murga 1719. First Edition second state - plates numbered. Contemporary limp vellum. Good; old ink stain to p. 74 has resulted in the loss of a few letters; some margins close but complete; binding worn; text block beginning to split. 4to. There is an engraved title frontis. with four saints engraved portrait and 39 engraved plates. A sought after book in which the author departs from usual forms of calligraphic art and presents it as a geometrical science. It is the first Spanish writing manual listed in the Hofer catalog. Harvard has two copies both defective. The copy offered here is according to Palau Hofer and others complete with the maximum number of plates. Palau suggests that early issues of the book may have fewer plates. The author was an orphan born in 1663 raised by the schoolmaster of his native town Mostoles. He was to become famous as a creative and inventive and favored member of the court as well as a didactic writer on art a mathematician architect and instructor of fencing. An impressive work with plates illustrating the laying out of dials and the mathematical basis for various letter forms. This resulted in a lengthy and detailed text that is most uncommon for this kind of book. The engraving throughout is elaborate and elegant. Only one plate is signed by the engraver Juan Bernabe Palomino; Cotarelo assigns all the engraving to him. The state results from the fact that the plates are numbered consecutively - Harvard has a defective copy without the numbering. What is of special interest is the crucial significance see Corbeto of such books and especially Aznar de Polanco on the early development of punchcutting in Spain during the formative mid-eighteenth century. The in depth analysis of the ' letra grifa ' - a cursive type - is directly attributed to Aznar de Polanco.

1890réf. 5955Kutztown PA 1890. Quarter roan over marbled boards measuring 8 x 6.25 inches and comprised of 73 pages of manuscript text including a mixture of notes passed between friends on the verso of the final leaf and on the rear pastedown. Spine largely perished with boards and textblock held together by cords. Several leaves neatly excised towards rear. Containing notes from Fannie Hottenstein's courses in teacher training the present volumes offer researchers a range of study topics including the history of pedagogy and women's increasingly visible place in American education; the book also is a valuable resource for examining how educated young women were thinking through their own lives and roles -- as individuals and as a generation. Trained in one of the most educationally progressive states at the time Fannie Hottenstein was one of a generation of women who could more widely dream about and pursue more independent lives than their matriarchs. Historically Pennsylvania had been a vanguard for public and progressive education. "In his 1830 address to the state legislature Governor George Wold championed the cause of universal public education" as a scaffold for "the security and stability of the individual privileges we have inherited from our ancestors" Explore History. Before the decade was over "more than 1000 local school districts under a single statewide system of instruction" had been founded working to regularize "educational standards curriculum and instructional credentials" in tandem with the 1857 Normal School Act which founded "a network of ten state academies to prepare public school teachers" Explore History. Fannie attended one of these preparing for a career in education that would give her a new level of social and economic independence. Much of Fannie's notebook reflects the kind of rigorous work required to teach middle and high school students. Contents include for example three pages of facts on basic Botany; fifteen pages on the practice of Logic in writing and debate including an extensive section on presenting proper Opposition accompanied by text book page numbers; and five pages on pedagogical methods for helping students develop curiosity and drive it forward into productive study. There are additional fairly staid essay samples on topics such as Influence and Gentleness. Yet it is in the thirteen page essay We Girls that sparks of Fannie's individuality ambition and independence show. In it she reveals how much contact she has had with the period's literature on women's rights and suffrage; she shows her familiarity with anti-feminist arguments in opposition to women like her; and she powerfully expresses her hopes not only for her generation but the ones that follow. Fannie opens: "It is a recognized fact that the degree of civilization of every nation is marked by the social position of woman. Indeed one of the most prominent features of the progress of civilization is her gradual elevation in society and the clear perception and recognition of her rights. In the earlier ages of the world when the sphere of her influence was bounded by the narrow prejudices of the opposite sex her happiness as well as her mental improvement and social rank depended more on what was done for her at the hands of men than on what she could do for herself. All this is changed now." Fannie praises the hard-won changes women accomplished in accessing education and job training; and she touts how many opportunities are available for women to dream about and pursue. This does not mean she's unaware of the challenges that continue -- particularly from men. "We have to contend with the prejudice sometimes entertained against us that our highest destiny in life is to be a pretty piece of furniture in a handsome parlor. Men who entertain this notion we girls must always urge to get their furniture somewhere else." To those who accuse women of being too emotional and insufficiently intellectual she also has a response. "Our aim must be to develop and perfect our entire nature mental social and moral" she argues. Only by embracing both thinking and feeling as strengths can any individual -- man or women she contends -- succeed. Women are in a unique position to embrace both. A truly rich document which also includes brief notes among Fannie and her friends about their flirtations and recent purchases of accessories at the end gives insight into the development of a young woman who would go on to live what she preached. According to the US Census of 1900 Fannie remained single and lived in a boarding house working as an office stenographer. unknown
1870réf. 3389United Kingdom 1870. Geography notebook of Mary Barker: Quarter black roan over marbled boards measuring 9 x 7 inches. Comprised of a calligraphic title and frontis plus 59 hand drawn-and-colored maps done by a young woman in her first three years of teacher training. Throughout Mary annotates on the margins which year and term she is in and occasionally notes that the map was drawn "From Memory"; and each map has penciled corrections and assessments. with Geography notebook of Allison Jane Gillespy: Quarter cloth over marbled boards. Calligraphic title page and 35 intricately hand drawn maps from the British Empire Europe and the Middle East. A pairing of beautiful and research-worthy notebooks documenting teacher training in the late nineteenth century as well as providing a look into how geographies changed across time and how British educators were being trained to perceive and educate the young about other parts of the world and how they connected to the British empire. With nearly 100 pages combined the notebooks offer scholars important comparative opportunities and means for better understanding the rising number of women educators and authors publishing works that engaged geography and international cultures during the Victorian era. "The Wesleyan Methodists had a school for ministers' daughters at Trinity Hall Southport.which admitted both boarders and day girls.to educate ministers daughters and train teachers" Roach. Pupil teacher programs like the one Mary Barker was enrolled in had become a popular method of producing teachers at a time when the public's access to education expanded and the demand for instructors was at a high. Such programs functioned like an apprentice system taking a senior pupil typically thirteen years old and putting her in a five year assistantship to her own instructor. Pupil teachers typically took on responsibility for teaching lower classes observing their superiors educate the more advanced students and completing their own educations. By the 1870s these programs had become standardized to ensure proper preparation for instructors Robinson. Mary's maps trace this process. As she moved from her first to her third year in this notebook the quality and care she puts into her work improves. Her handwriting and attention to detail matures. And her assessments move from Fair to Good and Very Good. Maps in the notebook include nearby locales such as Ireland Scotland and the British Isles as a whole; European nations including Sweden Norway and Prussia as well as eastern Europe and Russia. Mary also maps out "Arabia" and the "Chinese Empire" as well as "Further India" revealing a wide array of changing borders and shifting cultural attitudes. While Allison does not leave any marker of her class age or school the level of intricacy in her maps suggests she was a senior student or finished instructor. These appear to be fair copies not done from memory but prepared as examples for students or as teaching aids. Together the two provide a comparative opportunity to study the history and politics of mapping nineteenth century girls' education pedagogy and pedagogical training and geography. unknown
