35. Intaglio Engraving New Year Promotion for 1911 - Charles Bosse Bookseller, Paris SLAM
Founding Member. . An 8 1/2" x 11" engraving illustrated by G. Prilleau depicting street scenes and
the store front with a gentleman entrying Charles Bosse book shop. An active Parisian book seller at
the turn of the 20th century. One of the founding members of Syndicat Français de la Librairie
Ancienne et Moderne (SLAM) in1920. Under the aegis of Ch. Bossc, E. Jorel, E. Nourry, J. Riviere
and J. Schemit, the first number of the Bouquiniste Français appeared on 15 January 1920. At first
twice- monthly, it became a weekly from No. 22, 1 December 1920. Its location was 31 rue Bonaparte,
Paris 6eme. In their first editorial, the founder-booksellers thus justified the publication's raison
d’être: 'The French antiquarian book trade, the antiquarian booksellers of France, have as yet no
professional organ while the well-known English weekly The Clique and the daily Munich
publication achieve considerable circulations' .
From its first number the Bouquiniste Français carried listings of works for sale and wanted at fair prices, but also
professional information with calendars of sales, announcements of the appearance of catalogues, changes of ownership,
opening and closing hours, postal charges, details as to carriage and transport. Regularly it raised certain thorny problems:
the law of 25 June 1920 and the taxes which burdened commerce and industry (No. 13): the regulations of 29 August 1920
as to the tax on turnover (Nos. 16 &. 17): the luxury tax (No. 19). But luckily all this was diversified with little articles on
bibliographic curiosities - Johann Faust; Where do old bindings go; Charles Sorel, on the knowledge of good books; book
thieves; diary of a quayside stallholder. There were often reports or minutes of committees and general meetings. In No. 28
we learn that Messrs. Gougy, Paul and Rapilly have been appointed experts with the Administration of Customs. The
reintroduction of the 10% discount between member-booksellers, modification of the luxury tax, and an open letter to the
Under-Secretary of State for Posts and Telegraphs from J. Lebouc, on the slow arrival of catalogues (already!) - fill up other
numbers
Bosse made his debut in 1883 as a bookstore clerk in Maloine (he was only 12 years old) In approximately 1913 he went
purchaser of funds of the large library Durel, rue de l'Ancienne Comedie where for more than forty years, his business took
a great extension with its varied knowledge and a number of staff, the main collaborators were the faithful Lebouc Jules and
his nephew Lucien Marchand. thus he became so big buyer on the market for books, libraries and large batches in very
different genres , which allowed him to publish not only numerous catalogs of used books, but also to prepare for many
public sales; among the principal should be made of those Freund-Deschamps, Haviland, Paul Lacombe, Roederer, Lucien
Gougy Ms. Belin (with Giraud-Badin), Jules Couët, etc. Finally, he made a number of important anonymous sellers often
especially in the war years 1941 to early 1944 (see second volume of the Treasury Bibliophile, Chapter IX. Large sales and
atmosphere) was also Bosse Books bibliophiles two companies, "bibliophiles doctors" and "bibliophiles of the Aero Clube",
the limited edition works are mostly, and rightly wanted today. If its surprising activity was lower as a publisher (**), it
must however mention excellent documentary publications (...) Bosse let the example of a successful career due to his
intelligent will and hard work. "(pp. 77-78). Information from ILAB - The History of SLAB

51. Journal of the Cruise of the United States Steam Double Ender Mohongo 10 Guns, to the west
coast of South America, kept by a member of the crew, who identifies himself as “Jackson Boy.” The
journal he kept is 197 pages long, from 19 May, 1865 to May 1, 1867, when he states he is “done.”
Thereafter, there are other pages of information, and some pages missing (these include 18
unnumbered pages at back, probably containing personal notes, and about twenty other leaves,
which appear to have been blank) but the journal of the cruise, in an easy to read hand, is complete.
The Mohongo went from Brooklyn to St. Thomas, Barbados, Natal, Rio de Janeiro and Montevideo,
etc. making official visits at many ports. The writer provides details about all such visits and adds
well written insights. The journal’s entries are daily, some short, others very lengthy, notably
during the days in the Magellan Straits, and nearby islands. The writer seems well educated, and is
at times eloquent. The reading is enjoyable and interesting.
The Mohongo joined the Pacific Squadron and remained at Callao during the Peruvian War with
Spain, to protect American lives and property. Later it became part of the North Pacific Squadron,
the Pacific squadron having been split into two units. The ship had been commissioned in May of
1865 and was decommissioned in May of 1869, a short active period.
The writer calls the journal, “The Bible.” He begins as follows: “The following journal of facts is
dedicated to the crew of the Mohongo, not to the gents on shore, as they are under the opinion that
we are all dull, lazy and indolent fellows forward. It’s not written, we know, by a thorough good
scholar but any of you who will take the trouble of looking over it by and bye it will bring to mind
many little incidents that happened going around the Horn.” It is signed P.J.C. This could be
Patrick J. Curren (there is the name Peter J. Curran at the top of the first page, but that may be the
father of the writer).
In the writer’s introduction, he notes “My name is of no account and I don’t suppose for a moment
that it would do the following journal (if it can be called one) any kind of service to mention it but let
it be known among any who takes the trouble to peruse it that it is the work of a very young
sailor….”
On page 197, there is a list of the ports called upon. The writer closes this page with “My task is
done but it has not been weary one so with your permission I will hush and Remain yours as ever.”
It is signed “Jackson Boy,” 231 West 7th Street, New York.
At back of the journal are several pages of information about shipmates, a lengthy poem “The
Cumberland Crew,” about the sinking of the USS Cumberland by the CSS Virginia, on 8 March,
1862, written in Panama on October 8, 1866, even a “Barber’s List.”
On the first page is a pasted-in envelope containing a CDV of the Harbor of Magellan. It was
purchased and signed by a Mohongo crew member from Hampton Falls, New Hampshire.
The detail in the journal is extraordinary, and represents an excellent historic document about life in
the American Navy, and on one of its gunboats.
It should be noted that the official Record Book of the Mohongo is on-line.

Archive – Personal & Professional
Personal and professional archive of a young woman appointed as a special term missionary
to the Japan Mission of the Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church. 1926-1929.
Marion O. Perkins of Germantown PA was assigned to the Joshi Gakuin School in Tokyo Japan. Her
salary as a single woman was $1125.00 per year and living quarters were furnished. She sailed on the
Steamship President Taft from San Francisco to Yokohama on January 23 rd, 1926. She was entitled to the
use of Clergy Fare Certificates for a reduction in rail fares. Baggage allowance was 350 pounds. Detailed
instructions were also included to assure proper transport of the additional baggage on trains from

Two (2) M. O. Perkin’s ledger books including all student grades and attendance for the
years 1927.
Ten (10) letters written to her by previous students after she returned to the US in 1929.
All are multiple pages in length and written with fine penmanship and a good command
of the English language.
The mission's work in Japan was primarily educational and evangelistic. Because of the extensive
Japanese system of hospitals and primary schools, no effort was made by the Board to compete. The
lack of adequate secondary and higher education facilities for girls and young women resulted in
the establishment of several Christian institutions, including Joshi Gakuin (1873), Wilmina Jo
Gakuin (1907) and the Woman's Christian College (1918). In addition, the mission conducted ten
kindergartens, a boys' middle school and college (Meiji Gakuin), and an Oral School for the Deaf.
The mission also cooperated in the operation of two theological seminaries.
The beginnings of an indigenous national church in Japan date from 1872, when the first local
church was organized in Yokohama. In 1877, representatives of the PCUSA, the Reformed Church
in America and the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland established the United Church of
Christ in Japan and were later joined by the Presbyterian Church in the U.S. and the Reformed
Church in the United States. - See more at: http://www.history.pcusa.org/collections/researchtools/guides-archival-collections/rg-93#sthash.hL2Wp6V4.dpuf

According to information obtained in one of her letters, children were admitted to the
school at the age of 12 years.
