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.

Manuscript inscription "Rev. Abiel Abbot D.D. with the best love of his nephew A. A. Livermore." Horace Mann politician and educator came from humble beginnings but by his own exertions he was graduated at Brown in 1819. After his graduation he was tutor in Latin and Greek in Brown entered the Litchfield Connecticut law-school in 1821 and in 1823 was admitted to the bar opening an office in Dedham Massachusetts. He was elected to the legislature in 1827 and was active in the interests of education public charities and laws for the suppression of intemperance and lotteries. He established the State lunatic asylum at Worcester and in 1833 was chairman of its board of trustees. He continued to be returned to the legislature as representative from Dedham till his removal to Boston in 1833 when he entered into partnership with Edward G. Boring. In the practice of his profession he adopted the principle never to take the unjust side of any cause and he is said to have gained four fifths of the cases in which he was engaged the influence that he exerted over the juries being due in a great measure to the confidence that all felt in his honesty of purpose. He was elected to the State Senate from Boston in 1833 was its President 1836-7. From 1837 to 1848 he was Secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education. In the spring of 1848 he was elected to the U.S. Congress as a Whig to fill the vacancy caused by the death of John Quincy Adams. His first speech in that body was in advocacy of its right and duty to exclude slavery from the territories. In 1850 he was engaged in a controversy with Daniel Webster in regard to the extension of slavery and the fugitive-slave law. Mann was defeated by a single vote at the ensuing nominating convention by Mr. Webster's supporters; but on appealing to the people as an Independent Anti-Slavery candidate he was re-elected serving from 1848 to 1853. In September 1852 he was nominated for Governor of Massachusetts by the Free-Soil Party and the same day was chosen President of Antioch College. Failing in the election for governor he accepted the Presidency of the college in which he continued until his death. He carried that institution through pecuniary and other difficulties and satisfied himself of the practicality of co-education.

The controversy came about following Mann's publication of his "Seventh Annual Report". Mann a progressive praised the "object method" approach of the Prussian education system over rote memorization. He advocated for teacher training and for the use of positive reinforcement over corporal punishment that was common in Boston schools of the period. His reply was aimed at a group of 31 prominent Boston schoolmasters who objected to his reforms and the feud continued through 1845.</p> Boston: Wm. M. Fowle and Nahum Capen, 1844. paperback
