An interesting archive of material relating to a movement whose influence extended beyond the British Empire. In 1906 the MEL had induced the Board of Education to make provision for moral instruction in the education code for England and Wales, and two years later the first in a series of International Moral Education Congresses was held at the University of London, with Michael Sadler in the chair (the sixth and last would take place in Krakow, Poland, in 1934). The twenty items present here are in good condition, lightly aged and worn. They all appears to have been sent by the MEL in 1914 to member W. R. Macpherson of 17 King Charles Road, Surbiton, Surrey (formerly of Chancery Lane), and includes [One] a TLS to him from the MEL Secretary, Alexander Farquharson (1864-1951), with [Two] receipt for his subscription of five shillings signed by G. M. Watkinson. The three largest items are 4to bifoliates: [Three to Five] 'A Graduated Syllabus of Moral and Civic Instruction for Elementary Schools. Adopted, with slight modifications, by the Cheshire, Buckinghamshire, Devonshire, Surrey, West Riding of Yorkshire, and other Education Authorities. First issued 1902. Revised December, 1905.' (3pp + ads, the syllabus covering the two centre pages, for children from infants under seven years to those of fourteen years); 'Moral Instruction. Replies to some objections' (4pp, lengthy replies to six objections, in small print); 'Moral Instruction. What It Is Not and What It Is.' (3pp + ads) [Six] Smaller 4to bifoliate titled 'Moral Instruction. A few words addressed to teachers in elementary school.' (3pp + ads). [Seven] 'Moral Education League. An Appeal to all Members and Friends' by 'G. A. Smith, | Hon. Treasurer' (2pp, 4to). [Eight] Circular letter from MEL Secretary Alexander Farquharson, dated 31 January 1914, appealing for 'fresh people who are willing to share the burden of Committee-work on the League's behalf' (1p, 4to); with [Nine] 'Agenda' of the 'Sixteenth Annual General Meeting of Members of the League', addressed by Farquharson on same date (1p, 4to). [Ten to Twelve] Three issues of 'The Moral Education League Quarterly': no.36 (1 April 1914, 8pp, six articles, including 'Mr. William Archer on "Knowledge and Character"'), no.37 (1 July 1914, 12pp, seven articles, including 'Mr. Gould's American Tour'), no.38 (1 October 1914, 8pp, seven articles, including 'The Sex Ideal'). [Thirteen] 'To all interested in moral and civic education in schools' (3pp + ads, 4to, information leaflet and perforated application form). [Fourteen] 'Moral Lesson Books | Published for and recommended by the Moral Education League' (4pp, 12mo). Also [Fifteen to Seventeen] a subscription form, an order form, and a leaflet (headed 'Notices to Members'. No other copies of any of these seventeen items found on COPAC. The British Library has five MEL leaflets dating from 1915 to 1921, otherwise no similar material traced. Also included are [Eighteen to Twenty] three related items not published by the MEL, being brochures advertising new publications (possibly enclosed with MEL documents): 'Minimum Rates in the Chain-making Industry' by R. H. Tawney; 'The Ethical Movement Its Principles and Aims', edited by H. J. Bridges; 'Historical Materialism and the Economics of Karl Marx' by Benedetto Croce.

First edition of this memoir of Balaklava and the Charge of the Light Brigade, by a soldier who served in the second line of cavalry under Paget. We have located copies in seven institutions only. Born in Leith, Farquharson (1832-1892) enlisted as a private in the 4th Light Dragoons in 1846, arriving in the Crimea on 18 September 1854 at the rank of trumpeter. He fought at the Alma on 20 September, was court-martialled for insubordination on 10 October (25 lashes and reduced to private), and just two weeks later found himself under Paget's command - the latter looking "as cool as could be" (p. 39). During the charge, after his third horse of the battle was shot from under him ("a cannon shot put a sudden stop to my gallop" - p. 43), Farquharson was captured by Cossacks and imprisoned for almost a year. Buying himself out in 1860 and returning to Scotland, he became bandmaster to the Lothian and Berwickshire Yeomanry (a post he held for 30 years until his death in 1892) and Queen's Trumpeter for Scotland. He contributed a series of sketches about his Crimean experiences to the Dundee Courier and, at the urging of friends, collected them for this standalone volume. He writes graphically of the Crimea and the charge: "At last, and despite the murderous fusilade, we were at the guns, and a slashing hand-to-hand fight followed with the men who served them. Up to this moment our colonel's sword had remained in its scabbard, which [Samuel] Parkes observing, said to him, 'Come, my Lord, it is time you were drawing your sword - we are on top of the guns'. So dense were the clouds of smoke hanging over the ground" (pp. 40-41). The second half of his account concerns his imprisonment with other survivors. He narrates "his march into captivity at Voronezh, via Simferopol, Ekaterinoslav, Kharkov, his experiences of being billeted on local families, his relations with fellow prisoners, and the beating he received on reaching prison" (Cross). This edition preceded by six years a commercial edition (Crimean Campaigning and Russian Imprisonment). Both were likely efforts to raise funds to help "this gallant old soldier to get some comforts in his declining years" (Dundee Evening Telegraph, 18 December 1891). Copies can be found at the British Library and National Library of Scotland and at the universities of Oxford, Cambridge, Calgary, Glasgow, and Missouri. Cross H33. Octavo. Ornate head- and tailpieces. Original purple diagonal-grain cloth, title to front cover in gilt. "J.W.W." in pencil on inner front cover. Cloth lifting at lower tip of front cover, gilt tarnished, old repairs, including strengthening of some gatherings at gutter with paper and consolidation with adhesive, general wear creasing: very good.
