It was conceived as a merchant school for educating the local youth for futures in trade and business. Bruce was a largely self-educated man from humble roots, making his achievements in the educational field all the more admirable. His other title was an Introduction to Geography and Astronomy, which went to multiple editions. The school was later led by his son Rev. Dr. John Collingwood Bruce. (See Sir Gainsford Bruce's biography of his father the Rev. John Collingwood Bruce, (W. Blackwood, Edinburgh,1905) for more details on the paterfamilias.) **The Engraver, MATTHEW BARRIFF of London, is mentioned in contemporary legal periodicals as having fallen out of partnership with at least two individuals in the first quarter of the nineteenth century. The London Gazette of 20th Dec., 1819 ,Vol. 2, tells us of a dissolved partnership with fellow engraver William Barrett "by mutual consent," at their premises at No. 67 Dean Street, So-ho Square. Page [2135]. Later, in 1825, he again dissolved a business partnership with Philip Jones, noted in The Law Advertiser, Vol. 3, No. 27, for Tuesday July 7, 1825. By the time of the publication of this Atlas, in 1828, he had relocated to Theobald's Road, London.**Library donor, the Rev. WILLIAM OXNARD MOSELEY (1843-1847), of Newburyport Massachusetts, home of this bookseller, was once pastor of Norwood First Parish Church. His family's estate Maudslay, was once a destination for a number of nineteenth-century Boston-area literary figures, and currently a public park upon the picturesque, rhododendron-laden shores of the Merrimack River. ( His son, William Jr. was, apparently, the first American mountaineer to die upon the Matterhorn in a tragic accident in 1879, according to the American Alpine Club.) OCLC 222784418.
