Song to a City Pigeon

Today happens to be the 20th anniversary of my graduation from library school (Graduate School of Library and Information Science, University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana).  In celebration, I am posting the words of a song I cataloged into our rare collections library this week.  The item this is from is a bound set of Original Songs, Duetts [sic], Glees &c., Sacred, Moral and Amusing. Composed by E. Ives, Junr., Principal of the Philadelphia Musical Seminary. [Philadelphia: s.n., ca. 1835].  There was no bibliographic record for the collection in OCLC’s WorldCat database, and there are only 2 holding libraries in OCLC for copies of this particular song (Brown University and University of Virginia).

Anyway, here are the song’s lyrics. (I’m not sure whether Ives — a distant relative of composer Charles Ives — considered it sacred, moral, or amusing. I’ll leave that up to you.) Happy pigeon watching!

Song to a City Pigeon

Poetry by N. P. Willis, Esqr.

Music by E. Ives, Junr., Principal of the Philadelphia Musical Seminary

Philadelphia: George Willig, [ca. 1835]

 

O come to my window thou beautiful dove,

Thy daily visits have touch’d my love;

I watch thy coming and list the note

That stirs so low in thy melloe throat

And my joy is high,

My joy is high__to catch thy gentle eye.

            Then come to my window thou beautiful dove

Thy daily visits have touch’d my love

I watch thy coming and list the note,

That stirs so low in thy mellow throat.

 

Oh! Why dost thou sit on the heated eaves,

And leave the wood with its freshen’d leaves?

Or why art thou haunting the sultry street

When forest paths are so cool and sweet?

            How canst thou bear

The noise of people___this sultry air?

            Then come &c.___

 

Thou, Pilgrim, alone of the feather’d race,

Dost look unscared on the human face;

And thou alone with a wing to flee

Dost love with man in his haunts to be

            And the “gentle dove”

Is made a title for trust and love.

            Then come &c.___

 

It is not by chance_ thou art kept apart

By Him who wisely hath tam’d thy heart,

To stir the love for the bright and fair

That else were seal’d in the crowded air;

            I sometimes dream

Angelic rays from thy pinions stream.

            Then come &c.___

 

O come to me ever, when daylight leaves

The page I read to my humble eaves,

And wash thy breast in the hollow spout,

And murmur thy low sweet music out,

            I hear and see

Rich lessons of heaven sweet bird in thee.

            Then come &c.___

 

Pennsylvania Publishers in our PA Imprints Collection – Philadelphia “L”

All the usual caveats, warnings, apologies, explanations, and so on regarding this – as usual – preliminary list.  (The first item on this list, by the way, is a little problematic. I haven’t been able to inspect it, but the catalog record suggests that it might actually be from Paris; and I’m not sure if the catalog accurately describes the item on our shelf.)

Pennsylvania Publishers in our PA Imprints Collection – Philadelphia “J” and “K”

This is the next installment of the preliminary list of imprints from Pennsylvania cities and towns. This post includes printers and publishers from Philadelphia whose names start with the letters “J” or “K.” (We have none that start with “I”.)  This list comes from the online catalog of the “Pennsylvania Imprints to 1865″ collection in the Rare Collections Library at the State Library of Pennsylvania.  Think of the dates as ‘flourished’ dates.  The dates represent only the span of examples from the particular presses that are on the shelves there; while printers/publishers came and went, many would have been in business longer that the date span shown here.

Note, too, in this list that there is (or can be) considerable confusion when it comes to names like Kimber, Kite, or Johnson (for the latter, e.g., “Benjamin,” “Jacob,” and then “Benjamin & Jacob” with overlapping date spans).  At the moment, I’m trusting the catalog, but these entries all must be verified by actually looking at the books to see how it is printed, something I cannot do while the collection is still in the midst of being moved.

As always: this is a preliminary list.  Printers and publishers are mixed together here.

Depressive School Laws and the Plain People

Reecntly I cataloged an item into the collection that appears to be fairly rare.  I only found one other library in the OCLC WorldCat describing it as I had it — though there are seven libraries that have a very similar item (their pamphlet has a publisher, while ours does not).  Still, only nine libraries worldwide reporting this document isn’t very many.

The item carries the title: A Brief history of educational standards from the early Bible days to the present.  It carries no publisher, but is dated 1939.  (And, just for completeness, the other version on WorldCat has the imprint “New Holland, Pa. : New Holland Clarion.”)

 Now then, what makes it topical for this blog is that it comes with a cover title “Report of committee of Plain People making pleas for leniency from depressive school laws” and the second part has the title “Report of action taken by the Plain People, asking the authorities for leniency in school matters, together with related historical data assembled by the committee.” 

Back in the 1930′s the commonwealth had not worked out its religious exceptions to compulsory school attendance laws as quickly as the ‘Plain People’ (i.e., the Amish and conservative Mennonites) had worked out the exceptions they wanted to be granted.  The only other Pennsylvania libraries reporting copies of this 103 page pamphlet are Franklin & Marshall College, and Penn State.  It’s a good piece of local Lancaster County, PA history that had — and has – wider implications.  Our call number is: Rare Collections Library 379.23 P691 1939.

Pennsylvania Publishers in our PA Imprints Collection – Philadelphia “A”

Here is the new installment on the preliminary list of imprints from Pennsylvania cities and towns. It comes from the online catalog of the “Pennsylvania Imprints to 1865″ collection in the Rare Collections Library at the State Library of Pennsylvania.

This is a preliminary list of the printers and publishers represented in this collection 1) who were from Philadelphia, and 2) whose names begin with the letter “A”.  There are probably other names that we will add later when, for example, the ‘publisher’ is Abbott, but the ‘printer’ is Jones.  I won’t come across that “A” name until I get to the “J” part of the alphabet. As you can also see again from the “Aitken” entries, names were not printed on title pages in a completely consistent manner. That’s more of a modern obsession, isn’t it?

Pennsylvania Publishers in our PA Imprints Collection – Lebanon-Orwigsburg

Here is the new installment on the preliminary list of imprints from Pennsylvania cities and towns. It comes from the online catalog of the “Pennsylvania Imprints to 1865″ collection in the Rare Collections Library at the State Library of Pennsylvania.

This is a preliminary list.  Printers and publishers are mixed together here.  And some names will eventually either be merged with or separated from similar names (see, for example, the Millers in New Berlin).  Finally, note that the printer’s/publisher’s names are listed here as they appear in the library catalog and are not taken directly from the books themselves (library cataloging rules have directed past catalogers to enter “Blogger” or “S. Blogger” for “Samuel Blogger” and this means you can’t always tell exactly what is printed on the title page just by looking in the catalog).
