1943réf. 277008Kamnik district Slovenia: Tehnika RK VI 1943. 30pp. 8vo mimeographed text with images original tan wrappers with mimeographed cover. This rare surviving pamphlet from World War II was produced by the Yugoslav Partisans the most accomplished armed resistance movement against the Axis occupation of Europe. Starting out as a guerilla group the Partisans soon created a complete underground society based on Communist principles including schools government and medical institutions financial systems and publishing presses. This pamphlet produced by one such press likely hidden in the mountains or forests of Slovenia addresses an emergent need in such a new clandestine society: that for maps. It proceeds in logical order: geographical vocabulary instructions for making field maps and later more sophisticated and symbolic drafting techniques. Within this technical know-how it also communicates tactical military advice that the Partisan guerillas employed in their battles with Axis armies. This tactical quality of the publication is most in evidence in the pamphlets many striking diagrams which demonstrate the importance of visual knowledge in situations of survival. This pamphlet was one of many Partisan publications designed to educate protect and encourage members of the movement. It is particularly fascinating for its simple means of production since the secrecy of Partisan operations limited them to mechanical methods such as mimeographs--in witness here--as well as heliotypes linocuts and typewriting. Given its fragility the pamphlet is in excellent condition with clean text. Slight stains and some very small tears in margins. As one of the few Partisan publications on cartography this pamphlet is a rare and fascinating record of the World War II resistance. Tehnika RK VI unknown books

1846réf. List2863New Orleans Louisiana 1846. Single letter three 8 x 10 inch pages. Torn at folds some tears repaired with archival tape; hole at location of seal; otherwise very good to excellent. John Holt Rice 1818–1878 was the son of a Presbyterian minister and nephew of Archibald Alexander founding professor of the Princeton Theological Seminary from which Rice graduated in 1845. When he wrote this letter he was working as a city missionary to the poor in New Orleans. Rice would spend his career ministering around the southern United States before his death from yellow fever. His correspondent is John Cameron Lowrie 1808–1900 a Scottish immigrant fellow Princeton graduate and a missionary in Colonial India. When his health became too precarious to remain abroad Lowrie returned to serve with the Board of Foreign Missions. The subject of missions boards was part of the Old School-New School controversy and schism in the Presbyterian Church particularly over whether missionary work should be primary the Old School view or secondary the New School view to the Church’s work.1 Those holding the latter view were satisfied with the work of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions ABCFM which was not a specifically Presbyterian body. Those of the former view believing that the Church’s missionary board ought to be itself Presbyterian formed the Western Foreign Missionary Society. When the Church’s second schism occurred in 1837 the Western society was renamed the Board of Foreign Missions BFM and headquartered in New York City. In this letter Rev. Rice finds himself in the delicate position of being an Old School supporter of the BFM ministering to Congregationalists and New School-raised supporters of the ABCFM. He writes to Rev. Lowrie requesting that copies of the BFM’s monthly Missionary Chronicle be sent to him in a timely manner as this was “a matter of some importance to us who love our own board of foreign missions”: “You are probably aware that our churches in this city are composed of very heterogeneous materials many of the members are from New England and were brought up in the congregational church and many were connected with New School churches at the north. This causes no difficulty or division All unite very cordially in support of the Old School church but the sympathies of many are with the American Board of Missions. They know nothing about ours and have some little prejudice against us for our separation. It would be very impudent to argue that question with them now or attempt to convince them that our own board ought to be patronised by those connected with one of our churches rather than the American. But I feel certain that if they knew more of our operations they would take an interest in them.” Rice also notes that he is an editor for the New Orleans Protestant newspaper and suggests that Lowrie send “something now and then” to excite “missionary zeal”. Of interest to scholars of Presbyterian history especially the 19th-century Old School-New School schism. 1 Rev.

With the ownership stamp of J. Wesley Miller with “J.W. Miller - duplicate” written in ink. Federal District Judge W. Arthur Garrity ruled in 1974 that Boston must integrate its school system. The group ROAR or Restore Our Alienated Rights led a broad effort against integration supported by the School Committee most members of the City Council and many teachers and police. Early efforts to block the desegregation efforts centered around South Boston High School where some parents of white students harassed and threw stones and bottles at arriving African-American students scenes repeated in some other white middle class neighborhoods. On December 14 over fifteen to twenty thousand people marched on Boston Common in support of the desegregation efforts. Offered here is a poster from the event published by the Ad Hoc Committee for Dec. 14. The poster shows an image from the Central High School desegregation efforts in 1957 above an image from Boston in 1974. No copies located though one is likely held at Miller’s unprocessed as of 2021 archive at UMass-Amherst.

From Wikipedia: "The White Mountain School was founded in 1886 as an all-girls Episcopal high school called St. Mary's School in Concord New Hampshire. In 1935 Dorothy McLane the school's headmistress moved the school north into the White Mountains region to the estate of Ernest Poole in Sugar Hill New Hampshire; the school was then renamed St. Mary's-in-the-Mountains. One year later in 1936 the school bought the Seven Springs Estate in Bethlehem New Hampshire from Eman and Mary Payne Beck and relocated there for the last time. Over the next 25 years the Bethlehem campus expanded with the purchase of new dormitories and the construction of new classroom wings. On January 3 1964 the school's Main Building burned down. The following year a new Main Building was constructed in its place. Six years later in 1970 the school began accepting a small number of male day students and in 1972 the school became co-educational and changed its name to the White Mountain School.The school ceased operations after the conclusion of the 2023-24 academic year citing financial difficulties relating to declining enrollment. Niles was founder of the school and Bishop of New Hampshire from 1870-1914. unknown books
