1875002648S. l. New York: F. W. Stewart 1875. First Edition. Very good. First edition; 7 1/2 x 4 3/4; pp. 3-24; beige wraps printed and ruled in black; illustrated with numerous woodcuts; two small chips and a small closed cut to front wrap; a few minor spots to wraps; very good condition. Cameron Mann 1851 - 1932 was an author Episcopal priest the Third Bishop of North Dakota and the First Bishop of South Florida. The Theta Delta Chi Society was founded as a social fraternity in 1847 at Union College New York. Byy the last quarter of the 19th century the society spread rapidly adding charges a term used by TDX brothers to refer to their local organizations rather than the more-commonly used "chapters" throughout the entire country including Stanford Berkeley Brown Tufts UVA Dartmouth Yale etc. The historical poem related to the Civil War was written and delivered by Mann at the closing of the 27th Annual Convention of Theta Delta Chi at a grand banquet at Delmonico's in New York. The illustrations designed by Franklin Burdge combined typography and beautiful unique wood-engraved illustrations to represent the Greek letters by which the charge was known. According to a "Notice to Graduates" at the end of the booklet the engravings were included "partly in order that by an inspection of the wood cuts inserted they may judge of the character of the new Catalog of the Society and have their attention called to the fact that more subscriptions are needed to print it."

1853h45580Syracuse: Hall Mills and Company 1853. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. 12mo period binding of half brown calf and paper-covered boards very good light wear and rubbing contents a bit tanned and foxed throughout 1878 pencil gift inscription on flyleaf bookseller's old tag on pastedown J. T. Heald Bookbinder Wilmington DE. 141 pp. First printings are rare in the trade and at auction. The work consists of two lectures Mann delivered in 1853 and 1854 in which he explores women's role in society arguing for the importance of education for women and their unique capacity to shape the moral character of those around them. From what we can gather from online sources in these lectures Mann who was the leading early 19th-century proponent of public school education expresses a degree of ambivalence about women's social roles and the relations between men and women. Rather than positing two entirely separate "spheres" for the sexes Mann reframed the traditional "woman's sphere" as a hemisphere - one half of a single shared orb of human interaction - emphasizing that each sex is necessary as the complement of the other. Consistent with his broader educational philosophy Mann believed women were particularly well suited to teaching and to the moral elevation of society and the lectures advocate giving women access to quality education so they can fulfill that role. He also argued that women should be permitted to participate in public life and be accorded the same legal rights as men - though a contemporary feminist critic Ernestine Rose sharply challenged his lectures accusing him of "pandering to prejudiced public opinion" by confining woman's greatest duty to the cradle and to educating children. Overall the work sits in interesting tension: progressive in its call for women's education and rights yet still tethered to 19th-century notions of feminine moral influence and domestic purpose.

182313925Dedham: H. & W. H. Mann 1823. First Edition. Sewn binding. Good . Large octavo 25pp. Ex-library with two stamps to the title page and a few stray pencil markings else clean. Side-sewing intact but extra stab holes and missing wrappers suggest that it was removed at some point from a bound volume of other works. Marginal tear to pp. 3-4 just barely approaches text else with shallower chips and tears to extremities. Untrimmed. Minimal foxing; a good or better example. Horace Mann's first publication which he printed at his own expense. A passionate and upbeat celebration of America's first 47 years which looks forward to the fruits of westward expansion. Published when Mann was a young lawyer; in fact the same year that he was admitted to the Massachusetts bar. As such it precedes his earliest writings on education--the subject for which he is best remembered--by more than a decade. Missed by his early bibliographers. <br /> <br /> Scarce in the trade. OCLC records perhaps a dozen holdings distinctly concentrated in Massachusetts. Sabin only records a posthumous reprint as part of a collected edition. American Imprints 13120. H. & W. H. Mann unknown
