About this Item

324 pages. Leather worn, leaves toned and dampstained; binding is sound. Early ownership inscriptions of George Frederic Belvidere "School Master at Windsor in Nova Scotia" 1792-1795 [p.170], and on title page at Lunenburg NS 1796-1812. "George Fredk. Belvidere flourished in Lunenburg, as school-master, in the early part of this century. He was an English-man, had once been a British officer, and was a strict disciplinarian. The "oaken towel," as he called his instrument of correction, did for him what he esteemed good service on the aching palms of refractory school-boys. He was well educated, and wrote an excellent hand. His school was for some time kept in the court-house. He died at a very advanced age."
