One pamphlet entitled A Lecture On The Importance of Linear Drawing, and On The Methods of Teaching The Art in Common Schools and Other Seminaries..., by Walter R. Johnson, published by Hilliard, Gray, Little and Wilkins, Boston, Massachusetts, 1831. This unbound pamphlet is 20 numbered pages in length, and is not illustrated. As stated on the title page, it is a copy of a lecture "delivered in the Representatives' Hall, Boston, August 23, 1830, before the American Institute of Instruction." "Franklin Institute, Presented by the author April 1831" is written in ms., in ink, at the top of the front cover. The blue ink stamp of the Franklin Institute Library is stamped at the bottom of the second page, and a ms. call number (presumably) is also written in ms., in ink, in the upper left-hand corner of the front cover, and at the bottom of the third page, next to the library stamp.
