1865Cat322Sycamore DeKalb County Illinois 1865. Two autograph letters signed “Rosa†docketed on rear likely in Everell Dutton’s hand 4 and 5 pages 8 x 5 inches. Folded at center else fine. Two letters written in the final weeks of the Civil War by Rosina Adelpha Paine Dutton of Sycamore Illinois to her husband Everell Fletcher Dutton then lieutenant colonel of the 105th Illinois Infantry engaged in the closing campaigns of the war. The couple had met through their mutual friend Helen Barns Woodmanse and began an unusually close correspondence at the outset of the war at times exchanging two or three letters a day through 1863. They married in Sycamore on December 31 1863 and spent several months together in Nashville while Dutton was detailed to the Examination Board residing at Mrs. Jernigan’s boarding house before Rosina returned to Illinois and Dutton rejoined his regiment in the field. Rosa wrote a considerable amount of letters to her husband during the war some of which were collected by the Sycamore History Museum for the exhibition General Dutton’s America. <br /> <br /> The two letters here written a week apart show Rosina’s fears and the general mood in the days prior to Lincoln’s assassination with a focus on a mysterious favor done for an unsavory character. The April 2 letter reflects Rosina’s anxiety as she awaits news from the regiment:<br /> <br /> “Five hours later. I got to feeling so badly I could not write. I will now resume my chat. I know dear one you are tired of receiving dark gloomy letters from me but you must not hope for better while you remain in the army. Love you know is always strongly anxious when the loved one is absent. I would give everything we possess in the world if it would but bring you safely home. I am in hopes we will hear something definite from the Regt. tomorrow. I am so anxious and yet I tremble to hear from the Regt… O my Husband if you should be taken from me.†<br /> <br /> She searches the newspapers repeatedly—“no list of casualties in the Tribune … sent Ida after the Times … sent Winnie & Mary … for the Evening Journalâ€â€”but finds “no relief of mind.†The strain is constant: “whenever I spoke … the tears would come†and even at church “I could not keep the tears from my eyes.†She notes that the 105th “could not have been through so severe a contest without losing very many men.â€<br /> <br /> The April 12 letter is dominated by Rosina’s pointed suspicion toward a man she calls “Gerret†who appears to have entrusted Dutton with a valuable object: <br /> <br /> “Gerret said you had in your valise for him said it was worth $500.00. If I were in your place I would get rid of it if I had to burn it. I wouldn’t carry anything five miles for that miserable scamp. No one scarcely believes his story about being captured &c. They think he made his way home as best he could & I would not be at all surprised if that were the case. He has told half a doz different stories already about his capture. He ought to have learned his story before he came home and then told it. Such conflicting ones create suspicion. Father said if he were in your place he would turn it over to Government & then bid it in.â€<br /> <br /> No individual of this name appears in the rosters or known correspondence of the 105th Illinois and the tone of the letter suggests he was not a member of Dutton’s regiment. <br /> <br /> She closes: “My darling husband do come and thereby make me the happiest woman in the world . try dear one. I don’t believe but that they will accept resignation now before long. May the good Father of us all take care of you is my constant prayer. Devotedly yours for all eternity. Rose.†<br /> <br /> Overall an interesting pair of letters from a well documented and significant correspondence. unknown

191 p. + Engraved Portrait Frontis and full page plate of the New York Institute for the Blind. Early ownership stamps of Susan C. Forney. Frontis and plate foxed. 190mm. Original full cloth binding embossed in blind. Spine worn. Hardbound. Good. Sabin 18322. Helen (Aldrich) De Kroyft (1818-1915) was born in Rochester, New York. Christened Susan Helen Aldrich, and the oldest of twelve children, she was schooled at the Westfield Academy, Westfield, New York and at Genesee Wesleyan Seminary at Lima, New York. Following an engagement of some years, she married William De Kroyft, M.D. on July 25, 1845. Remarkably, he died later that day. The cause of his death is variously explained. In any event, Dr. De Kroyft died and a month later Mrs. De Kroyft became blind, apparently from some infection of the eyes. She then attended the New York Institution for the Blind, in New York City, where she learned to write straight across a page with the help of a card which guided her hand. This is her first book. It is a collection of letters to family members and friends written during the period, 1846 to 1849. Mrs. De Kroyft's success as an author was as much her success as a book seller. Her method was to call on businessmen and public officials who entered their own subscriptions in her order book, and usually paid the price of the book in advance. In this way Mrs. De Kroyft personally sold over 150,000 copies of various of her works. This method produced an order book with the signatures of seven U. S. presidents, their cabinets, and many members of Congress including the entire Senate of 1850, state governors and numerous prominent citizens. Following the publication in 1849 of A Place in Thy Memory, and until her 94th year, Mrs. De Kroyft spent much of her time traveling throughout the United States selling her books. Her book sales enabled her to support herself and her parents, and to educate eight younger sisters. LIT BX 1

"From the moment they met, their marriage seemed both inevitable and impossible. Isabel was a schoolgirl, scion of the Arundells, England's most distinguished Catholic family, and when they passed each other while walking at a seaside resort, Richard Burton had already made his mark as a linguist, scholar, traveler, and rebel against Victorian conformity. A hundred yards on, Isabel looked back and found him staring after her: she decided then that she would marry him. It was several years before they met again. By then Burton was one of the most accomplished linguists in the Indian Army. An intelligence agent with a genius for disguise, he had risked death to penetrate Mecca during the hadj, posing as a native pilgrim. He would soon become even more famous as one of the earliest explorers of East Africa. After their marriage, the Burtons traveled the world from diplomatic postings in Brazil and Africa to hair-raising adventures in the Syrian desert. In later life Richard courted further controversy as translator of such erotic classics as the unexpurgated edition of The Arabian Nights, The Perfumed Garden, and The Kama Sutra. Based on previously unavailable archives, Mary Lovell has written a compelling joint biography that sets Isabel in her proper place as Burton's equal in daring and endurance, a fascinating figure in her own right." 910p. bibliography.index Book

1894124133Oxford: printed for the Association by the Printers to the University 6 issues with the imprint of Horace Hart; the last 5 with that of Frederick Hall 1894-1919. The state of women's education in Oxford at the height of the suffragette agitation An important set of reports published by the pioneering Association for Promoting the Higher Education of Women AEW containing a mass of information relating to the state of women's education in Oxford at the height of the suffragette agitation. The earliest report dates from 1894-95 and the latest from 1918-19 each running from October of one year to the same month of the next. The sequence is incomplete with two issues missing 1900-01 and 1910-11. The reports are scarce in any sequence. WorldCat and Library Hub record runs at the London School of Economics and the British Library. The society's papers and publications are held in the Bodleian deposited there in 1975. The question of women's suffrage and its relevance within the structures of the University of Oxford had been a topic of frequent discussion prior to the formal debate on the subject at the Oxford Union on 19 February 1880. Societies like the Oxford Women's Liberal Association OWLA and the Women's Emancipation Union plus the activism of Florence Davenport Hill who had been a founder member of the Bristol Women's Suffrage society in 1868 and had since moved to Headington paved the way for groups like the AEW and later the Oxford Women's Suffrage Society. The organization's work led to the founding of four women's colleges: Lady Margaret Hall and Somerville opened in 1879 followed by St Hugh's in 1886 and St Hilda's in 1893. St Anne's also originated as part of the AEW catering for female students who lived with private families in Oxford while attending courses run by the society. The AEW counted the activist Eleanor Smith 1823-1896 among its founding members and Annie Rogers 1856-1937 Oxford's first woman don as a secretary. Perhaps the most significant sections in these reports are those titled "General Statistics" which provide accounts of lectures attended by students tutorial arrangements results of examinations donations and subscriptions. The report of 1917-18 also provides a commentary on the "extension of the University Parliamentary Franchise to women who being British subjects and not subject to any legal incapacity have attained the age of thirty and have been admitted to and passed the final examination and kept under the conditions required of women by the University the period of residence necessary for a man to obtain a degree at Oxford. They are registered on specially favourable terms as the Act admitting them is so drafted that the fee of £1 for registration cannot be required of persons who are not graduates. The Register contains at present the names of 409 women." The AEW continued its activities until November 1920 when it dissolved itself as the university by admitting women to membership had taken responsibility for them. 23 issues octavo; comprising a total of 616 pages the issues c.20-30 pp. in length. Original printed paper wrappers sewn and wire-stitched as issued. Housed in a former library's dark purple cloth flat-back box with metal latch closure paper label to spine reading "Australian Council for Educational Research". Each issue complete with stamps shelf marks and labels of the Education Department Library latterly the Board of Education Library. Overall a scarce survival in very good condition. Shelfwear and creasing to wrappers those for the earliest issue detached; rear wrapper for the 1909-10 issue torn but no loss. hardcover
