1707819th c. Women's Education Archive consist of 4 Autograph Letters and 1 Autograph Note by a girl student at Chowan Baptist Female Institute in Murfreesboro NC. 1878. The 4 handwritten letters are addressed from Josephine Somers to her younger brother "Allie" in Matthews County VA. The letters are dated Jan. 1878; April 14 1878; May 1878; and June 9 1878. In the first letter Josephine writes on school life and encourages her young brother's education: "I pay you very many complements for your writing. I think you can write very well. You have improved very much and I hope you may continue to improve. You must keep trying to learn. I am trying to learn all I can. I study with all my might I think I am doing very well." In the May letter she writes on school life and social outings: "I went on the excursion and had a very good time. We went on Saturday so you see we did not take any school time to go. We went to Chowan County and we went ashore and had a picnic we had ice lemonade and cake besides other things." She also writes about the upcoming journey home at the end of the schoolyear: "I expect I will have to come home by myself. Yates is going to Princesann Princess Anne Co. after school is over. Yates and I will part in Norfolk and we may part forever for all I know. The final letter has a more alarmed tone as Josephine urgently asks her brother for information on their Mother's health. "Aunt Becky wrote me a letter last week and said Mother was sick and I have been very uneasy ever since. You must write soon and tell me if she has stopped her chills. I was sorry to hear that she was sick. You must tend to her good until I come home and then I will take care of her."<br/><br/>The Autograph note is filled with notes poetry names of her classmates and her school and doodles on two sides of a sheet of paper. At this time handwritten memory albums were a common way for female classmates to remember their school times together. Young ladies would live at boarding houses or dormitories while pursuing their studies and the lines of poetry on this page would have been copied into pages of friend's keepsake books before they parted ways for their hometowns at the end of the academic year. The May 1878 letter directly addresses the heartache at leaving school friends behind when returning home. "Yates and I will part in Norfolk and we may part forever for all I know." <br/><br/>Chowan Baptist Female Institute was founded in 1848 as a four-year women's college first opening its first class with just 11 students.

1708719th c. Women Education Archive of 6 handwritten letters from a student at Lewisburg Seminary an all Women academy in Pennsylvania. 1868-1869. She writes on her education to become a teacher tuition and family matters. 5 letters come with original mailing envelopes. 8.25 x 5.5 in.

Lewisburg Seminary was the female branch of the University at Lewisburg now known as Bucknell University. In all of her letters student Libbie Grant talks on the importance of her education. In the first letter she offers to help her recently widowed brother but that school was also a priority for her: "If you want to keep house the rest of the winter I will come tome and do my best. It will seem so hard to board right away. I don't know how I can stay here all next term without seeing any of you but shall content myself if you don't wish me to come. It is for my own benefit to get an education." In the January letter she lists subjects she is taking in school: "I study Grammar Physiology Geography and Astronomy." She gives a lengthier update in the February 3 letter: "I get along very well in my studies much better than I did last term. Miss Brown said there was a mistake made in my report and Scripture is excellent also Spelling. I do not get as homesick as I did last term." In one letter Libbie writes on how nervous she is regarding her future: "When I think of the future I feel sad to think I must wander from place to place." She is likely referring to various places where she would work as a teacher. In the February 13 letter her teacher Miss Brown adds a line about Libbie's next steps likely where she will work as a new teacher: "I trust she will succeed in getting a pleasant school for the summer."<br/><br/>Libbie also writes on financial matters requesting money from her brother for tuition and clothing. She stresses the necessity of new clothes which seem "unnecessary" to her brother Robert Grant residing in rural upstate New York; this highlights some one of the different social challenges that young women from rural backgrounds faced while living in and attending schools in cities. In the February 13 letter she writes about how she needs money for clothes to wear and new shoes; she is clearly distressed as her brother residing in Neversink NY seems unconvinced that new shoes and Church appropriate clothing is necessary. "I write this with my eyes full of tears for I know your thoughts. I know you think these re all unnecessary. They would be if I were home and I could get along with less." Miss Brown's addendum on the following page affirms Libbie's need of money and assures her brother that these items are necessary and his sister is "exceedingly economical." Lewisburg Seminary was originally the female branch of the University at Lewisburg which later became Bucknell University. In 1852 the Female Institute was established to exclusively educate women at the University. All letters in very good condition.

Le jugement « condamne ladite Charlotte Villecourt à être brûlée vive sur un Bucher, qui sera pour cet effet dressé en la plage de Greve par l'Exécuteur de la Haute Justice, son corps réduit en cendres & les cendres jetées au vent, ladite Charlotte préalablement appliquée à la question ordinaire & extraordinaire pour avoir par sa Bouche la vérité d'aucuns faits résultant du Proces & les noms de ses complices ». Dans « L'oeil du Maître : maîtres et serviteurs de l'époque classique au romantisme », Claude Petitfrère rappelle l'extrème sévérité des jugements rendus contre les domestiques et cite, à l'appui de ce constat, le cas de Charlotte Villecourt, condamnée à mort pour un faux témoignage.
Les deux condamnations sont des appels. Un premier procès en janvier 1764 avait condamné les deux accusés à être pendus. A la suite de l'Arrêt est reproduit l'Edit de 1682 sur les poisons qui sert de base à la législation actuelle sur la détention et la vente des substances toxiques.
