Educational Institute of Scotland, Library,former owner.StEdNL: AB.3.206.002-013
This is a collection of 12 bound volumes containing 211 nineteenth century pamphlets on educational topics which were previously in the library of the Educational Institute of Scotland. The Educational Institute of Scotland was founded in 1847 and is the oldest teaching union in the world. Queen Victoria granted a Royal Charter to the EIS and among the powers conferred was the power to award a degree of Fellow of the Institute. The EIS remains the only trade union that awards degrees. Liverpool and Scotland feature strongly in the collection and there are also items from the United States, Wales and other parts of England. Items produced by the pupils on their press in an Edinburgh disabled pupils school are particularly interesting. Important authors represented include William Godwin and Thomas Chalmers among others.
The individual pamphlets each have their own bibliographic record.
