A 100 year old Latin text book! First-Year-Latin Prepartory to Ceaser by Charles E. Bennett, Professor of Latin in Cornell University. Publisher Allyn and Bacon, Boston and Chicago. Copyright 1909. Hard back full
woven cloth boards and spine. Well used but in tact. All 280 pages still bound.
This collectible, vintage text book belonged to my grandmother, Virgie E. Slemmons, and has her signature in the front along with "Peniel U. Peniel, Texas" and other notes in pencil.
The Brazoria County Historical Museum located in Brazoria County's historic 1897
courthouse, collects, preserves and exhibits artifacts that relate
the history of and which reflect the County's cultural and demographic
diversity. A copy of this same text book is also housed in their catalog of objects in the museum. As my grandmother grew up in Texas, this museum reflects her heritage.
The Norwood Press was formed in 1894 by several individual companies coming
together to form a company that covered all aspects of the book-making process.
They built a new factory on Washington
Street in Norwood.
The J.S. Cushing & Co. handled composition and typesetting and Berwick
& Smith Co. was the pressroom. In 1897, the bindery E. Fleming & Co.
(later known as C.B. Fleming & Co.) joined the Norwood Press to complete
the book-making process. Norwood Press specialized in textbooks, bibles,
catalogues and pamphlets and became one of the largest companies of its kind.
