Kochno, Boris. Le ballet. Hachette, 1954.
Boris Kochno was personal secretary to Serge Diaghilev, the great Russian ballet master, and in this book he traces the history of the French ballet from fifteenth-century court masquerades to modern ballets. With over 400 illustrations reproduced in photogravure, an original lithograph by Picasso, and a Matisse design on its cover, this is a very special volume. [GV 1649 K62 1954]

Iapi Oaye: The Word Carrier. Dakota Mission, 1874-1887.
This monthly newsletter was published by and for the Dakota peoples. Printed in both Lakota and English, it promoted literacy and offered news relating to the activities and concerns of Dakota peoples during a period of change, including reports from Congress. Each issue features a richly-detailed engraving on its front cover. A very rare addition to the Peel library’s extensive collection of primary materials relating to the Indigenous peoples of North American. [E 99 D1 I27 folio]

Trimmer, Sarah. The Oeconomy of Charity, or, An Address to Ladies. J. Johnson, 1801. 2 vols.
The Peel library already has the first edition of this important handbook for educating poor children, but this is the considerably expanded second edition. Sarah Trimmer was a forward-thinking feminist writer who advocated for education and social change. This handbook provides information about setting up soup kitchens, discusses problems associated with child labour, and considers a range of children’s health issues. [LC 5056 G7 T83 1801 v.1-2]
Dr James Grierson MacGregor, Jr
Jouvancourt, Hugues de. Maurice Cullen. Translated by Nancy Côté. Editions La Frégate, 1978.
Influenced by both academic painting and Impressionism in France, Maurice Cullen was an influential landscape painter. His earliest important works were exhibited in Montreal in 1897. A true interpreter of Montreal’s cityscape, particularly of dusk and night scenes, which invariably shimmer with light. This is a lavishly-illustrated limited edition of a hard-to-find volume, and is considered to be the most important study of Cullen. [ND 249 C96 J86 1978]
Gerald James Maier
Kerr, John. Curling in Canada and the United States: A Record of the Tour of the Scottish Team, 1902-3, and of the Game in the Dominion and the Republic. Morton, 1904.
A splendid, highly detailed account of the North American tour of the Scottish Team in 1902-1903, an event described as “unique in the annals of curling.” The large volume is lavishly illustrated, and the team’s visits to Toronto, Montreal, and Winnipeg, with the history of many curling clubs, are colourfully set forth. A rare and delightful addition to the library’s holdings documenting Canadian sport. [GV 845 K38 1904]
James Fraser Mustard
Richardson, John. Wacousta, or, The Prophecy: A Tale of Detroit and Michillimackinac. A. Waldie, 1833.
This unglamorous volume is actually one of the great rarities of Canadian literature. First published in London in 1832, this is the first edition published in America. Following in the tradition of historical romances by Scott and Cooper, the novel is an imaginary treatment of intrigues and violence between British soldiers and the forces led by Pontiac at Fort Detroit in 1763. [PS 8435 I16 W1 1833]
Kenneth Clifford Welsh
Cibber, Colley. Edited by Robert W. Lowe. An Apology for the Life of Mr. Colley Cibber, written by himself. J.C. Nimmo, 1889. 2 vols.
Colley Cibber (1671-1757) was a well-known actor on the London stage and a theatre manager. His important autobiography, first published in 1740, is sometimes inaccurate. This special limited and corrected edition is lavishly illustrated with portraits of Cibber’s fellow actors and playwrights. A fine addition to the Peel library’s collection on theatre history, which also contains the first edition of Cibber’s work. [PR 3347 Z6 1889]
Harriet Snowball Winspear (two items)
Compan, Charles. Dictionnaire de danse: Contenant l'histoire, les règles & les principes de cet art. Paris: Chez Cailleau, 1787.
This is the rare first edition of the first dictionary of dance, setting forth a common language by which to teach, study, and appreciate the art form. Dedicated to Mademoiselle G****, this volume includes sections on dances from China, Egypt, and Canada, and delves into complex concepts of movement, technique and style. [GV 1585 C73 1787]
Castil-Blaze, M. Dictionnaire de musique moderne. Bruxelles: L'Académie de Musique, 1828.
This is an early edition of a very uncommon, thorough, and significant dictionary of musical terms and concepts, one that reflects many aspects—“modern” at the time—of the Romantic movement in music. [ML 100 B41 1828]
