Originally published for the Record Commissioners in 1840, this two-volume work remains a standard source for scholars of Anglo-Saxon and early Norman legal history. Benjamin Thorpe (1781?–1870) was a respected and prolific scholar and translator of Old English, whose publications in the field earned him a civil list pension in 1835. Trained in Copenhagen under Rasmus Rask, Thorpe advocated a scientific approach to philology, and this is reflected in the thoroughness of the notes, commentary, and concordance appended to the sources reprinted here. The preface to the text places the laws in their historical and geographical context, notes where there are unavoidable gaps in the evidence, and offers a descriptive analysis of the original documents. Volume 1 contains the secular laws issued from the reign of Æthelberht to that of Henry I, with a parallel translation of the Anglo-Saxon text, although the sources in Latin and French remain untranslated

Broadside advertisement for Norwich University, dated December 1838; announces that the institution was incorporated, "with full powers to confer Diplomas," in 1834; provides general information about the expense of attending, course of study offered, and history of the institution. ; EXPOSITION OF THE NORWICH UNIVERSITY, in THE STATE OF VERMONT. CAPT. PARTRIDGE begs leave to inform the American Public, that the Norwich University, of which he is President, was incorporated by the Legislature of Vermont in 1834, with full powers to confer Diplomas, and possesses all other powers and immunities belonging to Literary Institutions of the highest order in the United States. It went into operation in May, 1835. The said University is the same in principle as the American Literary, Scientific and Military Academy, formerly at this place, and afterwards at Middletown, Conn. It is based upon broad and liberal principles, recognizing nothing of a sectarian character either in religion or politics. The great object of its founders is to educate youth for their country—to combine in one, the Soldier, the Statesman, and the Philosopher. A course of Military instruction, also Civil Engineering, the practical Sciences generally, and Ancient and Modern Languages, is given at th

Circular describing the general plan for the Virginia Literary, Scientific, & Military Academy at Portsmouth, Virginia in February 1845, signed by members of the board of trustees. Also includes information about lectures, uniform, and tuition. ; VIRGINIA LITERARY, SCIENTIFIC AND MILITARY ACADEMY. PORTSMOUTH, V A . FEBRUARY, 1845 The Trustees would respectfully inform the public that this Institution is in successful operation, under the superintendance of the former able and popular professors, Maj. S. WHEELER, and Mr. N. B. WEBSTER, assisted in the Junior Department by Mr. D. D. STORY, and Mons. PASCAL SCHISANO Professor of French. GENERAL PLAN. The analytical method of instruction, leading to a thorough investigation of the reasons for every rule learned, and every scientific operation, performed, is strictly adhered to. The student is thus enabled, not only to acquire a knowledge of facts, but also to understand the "why and wherefore;" without which their ready application to the practical business of life cannot be attained. That knowledge of Military science, which, while human nature remains as it. now is, is ever liable to be called into requisition, may be here acquired without the sacrifice of either time or money ; as the Military exercises do not interfere with the usual hours of study, but are attended to at times too often devoted by students to trifling amusement. For this, regular and ennobling exercise is substituted ; which the Trustees feel the most perfect assurance, based upon their own observation and experience, not only tends to expedite the advancement o-f the student, but in a very great degree to secure his health. Particular attention is given to the correct development of the moral and intellectual powers ; while all interference with the peculiar religious or political views of the student is carefully avoided. The discipline of the Institution is strict and uniform, in principle-military, in practice-parental. Energy and promptitude are required, in the discharge of every duty, and correct and gentle-manly deportment, at all times, and places. In fine it is the constant aim of the professors, to prepare those who may be committed to their charge, for the successful prosecution of business, either in a public or private, a civil or military capacity, and for the proper understanding and discharge of the duties incumbent on them, as individuals, as members of community, and as rational and accountable beings. Students are allowed to progress as rapidly as they may be able, consistent with the thorough understanding of the branches to which they at-tend. In addition to the usual Academic course of study, particular attention is paid to the practical sciences, especially the Mathematical. Instruction is also given in the principles of Law. which the Trustees consider an important part of the Education of American youth, inasmuch as every citizen of (Mir Republic, is both amenable to the laws, and either directly or indirectly has an agency in en-acting them. Major S. Wheeler, a graduate of the school of Law at the University of Virginia, and member of the Virginia Bar, instructs in this department. CLASSICAL DEPARTMENT.

Those of sufficient age to handle the musket are required to have a uniform for parades, and all are required to wear some part of the uniform. The Academy has just been supplied, by the State, with a new set of muskets, and equipments.

Once featured on a Hungarian forint banknote, this engraving is a reproduction of one of the three female figures, symbolizing Peace (see banknote below). Isolated from its original context, the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing is responsible for this reproduction. While this print may not preserve the figure's origins, the decision to perpetuate this illustration alone speaks to timeless universal belief in peace as a something to imagine and strive for. Designed and engraved by Tyroler József, the banknote from which the figure originates represents a brief period in Hungary's history in which political reformer Lajos Kossuth inspired Hungary's struggle for independence from Austria. Born in 1822, much of József's early life is unknown until his move to Budapest in 1837. There, József learned how to design and engrave. Producing a number of illustrations for various newspapers, his most radical work was for the banknote designs he created between 1848 and 1849 in recognition of the Hungarian revolution during the time. The banknote which included this female figure was a two forint note, featuring Kossuth's signature who was at the time the governor-president of Hungary. Political reformer and journalist Lajos Kossuth rose through the ranks of power in Hungary during the 1840s, believing the country's liberty was contingent on its independence. Ultimately rising to the position of Minister of Finance, one of his major orders of business was to re-establish a separate coinage in an effort to create an independent national identity for Hungary, which he called "Kossuth notes." Leaning against a shield, the woman steadies herself to her left by placing her hand on a fasces. Echoing ancient Roman tradition, the fasces represents official authority, characterized by an ax head projecting from a bundle of wood tied together by a strap. The ax, however, is not present in this depiction of Peace, which may be influenced by the Roman custom to remove the ax when within the city's bounds, signifying the citizen's right to appeal a governmental ruling. Swords lying at her feet, Peace is illustrated here as both authoritative and accessible, clutching an olive branch as a direct symbol of Peace for the country of Hungary. Seamlessly reproduced, this small, intricate engraving offers a simple depiction of peace mythologized. By using traditional black ink in which to describe this figure, József was able to articulate the different textures and materials of her dress, shield, and weapons. After the revolution failed and Kossuth went into exile, the Austrian government demanded these notes be collected and destroyed. Few survived, however, allowing József's interpretation of peace to be reproduced in print form for a wider audience. —Stephanie Holstein ('18) From the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, New York.
