About This Item
S. l. (New York): F. W. Stewart, 1875. First Edition. Very good. First edition; 7 1/2 x 4 3/4; pp. 3-24; beige wraps, printed and ruled in black; illustrated with numerous woodcuts; two small chips and a small, closed cut to front wrap; a few minor spots to wraps; very good condition.Cameron Mann (1851 - 1932) was an author, Episcopal priest, the Third Bishop of North Dakota and the First Bishop of South Florida. The Theta Delta Chi Society was founded as a social fraternity in 1847 at Union College, New York. Byy the last quarter of the 19th century, the society spread rapidly, adding charges (a term used by TDX brothers to refer to their local organizations, rather than the more-commonly used "chapters") throughout the entire country, including Stanford, Berkeley, Brown, Tufts, UVA, Dartmouth, Yale, etc. The historical poem, related to the Civil War, was written and delivered by Mann at the closing of the 27th Annual Convention of Theta Delta Chi, at a grand banquet at Delmonico's in New York. The illustrations, designed by Franklin Burdge, combined typography and beautiful, unique, wood-engraved illustrations to represent the Greek letters, by which the charge was known. According to a "Notice to Graduates" at the end of the booklet, the engravings were included "partly in order that by an inspection of the wood cuts inserted they may judge of the character of the new Catalog of the Society, and have their attention called to the fact that more subscriptions are needed to print it." Not in OCLC, not in the trade.
