Hardcover. Etat : Very Good Plus. 1st Edition. First Edition (NAP). This 404 page book is in really nice condition, particularly taking into account its age. It is also quite rare. I'm seeing only one other copy for sale on the Internet. You can see the red covers in the photos. The front cover has a few small areas of discoloration. The top edge of the spine has very light fraying. The red of the spine is somewhat faded. The gilt lettering there has very light fading, but is quite legible. There is speck-sized rub-through at the front corners. The general condition of the edges and corners is very good. The book is square and very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout. The inside covers and end papers are a slightly lighter red color. They are in excellent condition and very clean. There is a tissue guard protecting the frontispiece, a photograph of James R. Murphy. Both the frontispiece and tissue guard are in very good shape and very clean. There is one other illustration, a photograph of a rather large class in the James R. Murphy Real Estate School. That illustration is also in excellent condition. The pages are exceptionally clean. I'm not seeing any soiling as I scroll through them. I'm also not seeing any creasing. There are no markings. No attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. Credit for the excellent condition of the book goes only slightly to me. I've owned it for less than a decade. The book came from the library of former Assistant Secretary Of War and High Commissioner of Postwar Germany, John J. McCloy. He did not write his name in the book.…

3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with traces of paper from mount adhering to blank reverse of second leaf. Folded twice. From the Cullum papers, Simpson being a neighbour of the family. Having 'just come in from a longish walk', he is sorry to have missed Lady Cullum. He wishes he 'knew which of the two ways you name would be most agreeable to you, for us to dine with you; but since you kindly leave it to me, I say Friday, on which Evening we will have the pleasure of being at Hardwick at 7 o'Clock.' He reports that the 'two Miss Lockharts' are 'quite taken' with her, and 'loud in their praises of Lady Cullum'. He gives the names of the party he has 'made up' for the following Thursday: 'Herveys 3, Wynches 2, Col. Wollaston, and Mr. Barton - You and Miss Bird and ourselves make up the twelve.' He is 'not afraid of a Fox, well fed on good poultry, worrying Dot!' He does not think Dot can catch the fox, 'so believe he and Pater may try their best in great safety'. He ends with the remembrances of his two daughters to Lady Cullum and Miss Bird.…

The background to this letter is explained in Simpson's entry in the Oxford DNB which states that he 'took a deep interest in the movement for better elementary education. He was one of the founders of the Edinburgh modern infant school, in which he attempted to solve the problem of religious education by allowing parents to select religious instructors themselves. Failing to receive adequate support, however, the school was ultimately sold to the kirk session of New Greyfriars. Simpson continued devoted to the cause of non-sectarian education, and lectured on the subject throughout Britain. In 1837 he appeared as a witness before the House of Commons select committee on education, and his examination lasted seven days. He expressed his views on the need for educational reform in several publications including The Necessity of Popular Education as a National Object (1834), and The Philosophy of Education (1836).' The specific context of the letter is discussed in Stephen Tomlinson's 'Head Masters: Phrenology, Secular Education, and Nineteenth-Century Social Thought' (2013), which describes how Simpson, along with the Irish politician Sir Thomas Wyse (1791-1862), 'led a national campaign for a state-run system of public secular schooling'. (Wyse is mentioned in the letter, along with Professor Dionysius Lardner (1793-1859), the Irish populariser of science. There is also a reference to an 1836 dinner given to Simpson by the Friends of Education in Manchester, with Wyse in the chair. The recipient, William Hutton, had a humble background, and took a keen interest in popular education, being instrumental in setting up Mechanics' Institutes in the North of England.) 3pp, 4to. In good condition, lightly aged, with thin strip of paper from mount adhering to the reverse of the second leaf. The letter would appear to relate to an intended lecture for the Newcastle upon Tyne, Durham and Northumberland Educational Society. Simpson begins by stating that he has received Hutton's 'kind and encouraging letter of the 25th at Bristol'. He asks him convey his acceptance 'to the Mayor & the other very respectable Gentlemen who have signed the requisition for my visit', and says that he will go to Newcastle 'some time in October as shall be afterwards arranged'. He has 'a Note from Mr Turner, stating that he cannot tell when Dr Lardner is to be with you, but thinks it will be about the last week in September'. The note refers Simpson to Lardner himself, but Simpson 'had not the means and time to see him', and will 'therefore trust to another letter' from the recipient, 'mentioning his time both beginning and ending, when you learn it'. He continues: 'Nothing can be better than your mode of proceeding. I feel that I shall come most pleasantly to Newcastle. I have delivered one lecture here at the request of many members of the Association. You will see it mentioned in the Athenaeum of next Saturday. It produced a strong effect. The views are so new & yet felt to be true.' He has sent him 'a copy, by Mr Turner, of the Education Dinner Pamphlet at Manchester with MrWyse's speech. Some notice of it in the Papers may do good to my lectures.' He continues in good spirits: 'We have finished a brilliant meeting of the Association, & held a meeting where we established a plan to meet as friends to education, being members of the Association, wherever the Association meets, to diffuse knowledge of, and zeal for education all over the country.' In a postscript he urges the recipient to 'Think of a place & hour of Lecturing', adding: 'I shall be at Dr Maldens Worcester for a week after Wednesday week. He will forward my letters.'.…
