History of New York for Schools 1840
During his administration (1839-1843), Governor William Seward recognized the discrepancies in educational opportunities across New York State and decided to commission a set of two hundred volumes for each of the state’s eleven thousand school districts. The books included state histories, histories of foreign countries, natural history and philosophy. These three volumes are from a set published by Harper & Brothers in 1840: The History of New York, Vols. I-II by William Dunlap and The Life of De Witt Clinton by James Renwick. They reflect Governor Seward’s love of learning and serious commitment to educational reform.
