Descripción

12mo. Pp. i-viiii, 5-71. By the Author of "My Little Primer," "My First School Book," and "Spelling and Thinking Combined." The unnamed author was Josiah Freeman Bumstead (1797-1868) who in the 1830's was appointed Superintendant of the Belknap Street Sabbath School on Beacon Hill, Boston, a school "composed of colored children, youth, and adults." Originally housed in the African Meeting House, built in 1806, and now the oldest Black house of worship in the nation, the school was moved next door to the Abiel Smith School in 1835. J. F. Bumstead's diary of the 1830's, now in the NE Genealogical Historical Society, tells about his tenure at the school in the Meeting House. Both this book and the diary reveal him to have been a dedicated and humane teacher. With six pages of line drawings. In original tan cloth-backed boards with printed label. Water-stain to back board; spots to front; both hinges cracked with front board held by cords; half-inch at top of spine worn off. Scarce. N° de ref. del artículo 006187
