This news journal the "Rural Repository" leads with a full page story on the opening of the Poughkeepsie Female Academy and engravings. More than 30 years later Vassar College would open near the same site. <br /> <br /> Women's colleges proliferated in the mid- to late- 19th century to fill the void created by their exclusion from most institutions of higher education. The prevailing notion that women were too delicate for a rigorous academic education was openly challenged when Elizabeth Cady Stanton spoke at the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 "Man's intellectual superiority cannot be a question until woman has had a fair trial.When we shall have had our colleges our professions our trades for a century a comparison then may be justly instituted." This document predates Seneca Falls by 7 years. unknown

Damp staining to lower page edges of the first third or so of each more pronounced in the earlier volume. Pages tanned and somewhat brittle in volume 4 foxing throughout in volume 2 unused card pockets in front of both. Several ownership markings including signatures from John Neely Bryan in each. <p><br /> Historic set of two statute books from the library of the founder of Dallas John Neely Bryan 1810-1877. Bryan left his home state of Tennessee at an early age with law degree in hand first to Arkansas and in 1839-1841 surveying and settling in the area that would later become Dallas. <br /> <br /> The natural features of the landscape the Trinity River being shallow and crossable at the site perhaps drew Bryan to the area but were also a source for disaster shortly after his settling. Stephen R. Butler in his biography John Neely Bryan: The Father of Dallas pg. 46: <br /> "In 1842. A Trinity River flood damaged the so-called 'Gilbert-Bryan cabin.' John Neely Bryan Jr. described this event: 'Shortly after this first cabin was completed my father went back to Colbert's Ferry for a supply of corn. he found that a rise of the river had occurred during his absence. damaging his books and destroying many of his papers. he had brought with him numerous valuable books and papers pertaining to his profession.'" <br /> <br /> </p> <br /> <p>These volumes were later rebound and owned by Maurice Eugene Locke who established a practice in the city in 1891 and built one of the great law libraries of the West. The stamp of a "John B. Seymour" is also present in each perhaps owning the books between Bryan and Locke. We find no record of John Neely Bryan's signature at auction. This wonderful piece of Dallas history also presents a rare case where water damage adds to rather than detracts from the appeal. </p> . Wells and Lilly; P. H. Nicklin and T.
