Description
Tuskegee, Alabama, 1900. Six photographs, approximately 8 x 10 inches. Inventory numbers and signature of Hyman, photographer, whose first name is unknown, in negatives. Some holes, including two affecting image, paper captions stapled to margins, else near fine; generally very good or better with excellent contrast. Tuskegee University was founded in July 1881 as the Tuskegee Normal School for Colored Teachers by formerly enslaved leader Lewis Adams and former Confederate Colonel and Alabama senator W.F. Foster, who had promised Adams a school for African-Americans in Macon County if Adams could secure him the black vote. Tuskegee’s first principal was Booker T. Washington, also formerly enslaved and a graduate of the Hampton Institute and Wayland Seminary. In 1882, Washington purchased the Miller plantation as a campus for Tuskegee. Offered here are six photographs of the Tuskegee campus dating to the early 1900s. These mainly document the agricultural side of the Tuskegee students’ education: photographs show the cabbage patch, dairy barn, swine herd, and students plowing a field with mules. There is also a photograph of the Institute’s power plant and of “Wayside Inn,” an early dormitory that looks to be an original building of the Miller plantation. Under Washington’s leadership, students at Tuskegee were trained in teaching but also in farming and trades, and typically paid their educational expenses through agricultural and other labor on campus.

2014. ISBN-13: 9781584771425; ISBN-10: 1584771429. Berger, Adolf. Encyclopedic Dictionary of Roman Law. Originally published: Philadelphia: The American Philosophical Society, [1953]. (Transactions of the American Philosophical Society; New Series, Volume 43, Part 2, 1953). [ii], 333-808 pp. (478 pp.). Reprinted 2002, 2014 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584771425; ISBN-10: 1584771429. 8-1/2" x 11." Hardcover. New. $59.95 * A comprehensive reference that includes a useful English-Latin law glossary and an extensive bibliography (centered on English-language publications) that covers all of the dictionary's topics. A formidable research tool. "This dictionary is intended to meet the needs of the student with little or no knowledge of Roman law or indeed of Latin. It seeks to provide a brief picture of Roman legal institutions and sources as a sort of first introduction to them. A very large number of brief-usually very brief-entries provide explanations of Roman legal terms, civil and criminal, and summary accounts of the sources. This is a formidable task to undertake single-handed, and Dr. Berger is to be congratulated on the great learning and thoroughness with which he has carried it through. (...) The extensive bibliographies at the end of each entry of any substance are intended for the advanced reader who will find them invaluable, though sometimes, where the subject covered is wide, he will wish they were classified. (...) The works ends with a remarkable general bibliography listing some fifteen hundred works under headings ranging from the main divisions of the law to 'Christianity and Roman Law' and 'Roman law in non-juristic sources.' This last is particularly valuable." -- Barry Nicholas, 44 Journal of Roman Studies (1954) 160. "The publication of Mr. Adolf Berger's encyclopedic dictionary of Roman law is a very important accomplishment in the recent history of American legal scholarship. The American legal world owes him homage for putting at its disposal the scholarship of twentieth-century European Romanism, or indicating the entrances thereto." -- Mitchell Franklin, 28 Tulane Law Review (1953-1954) 412.
