Three separate issues of the Amherst Academy Catalogue for the years 1841, 1842 and 1843, bound together without wrappers (but with title pages) and also including the Catalogue of the Officers and Students of Amherst College for the academical years 1841-1842 and 1842-1843, plus Catalogus Collegii Amherstiensis, 1842. Six catalogues altogether. Octavo. A wonderful group of Dickinsoniana, with Emily Dickinson listed four times under various departments at Amherst Academy, including 'Female Department Classical Course' and 'English'. Her sister Lavinia is found three times, her brother Austin three times, and her father Edward four times including his role as treasurer for Amherst College. Also found twice is Emily's school friend Abby Wood and listed once friend Jane Humphrey. Dickinson ultimately spent seven years at the Academy. A rare record of Emily's education. Very Good, disbound from boards (which are present), catalogues for 1841 and 1842 foxed.
