19045847Milford Del: The Club; Printed at the Caulk Press 1904. Octavo 23.25 x 16 cm. 134 pages. Advertisements. Errata list tipped in. Chairman from Introduction page 17. Date of publication determined from internal evidence. ~ Evident first edition. A community cookbook undertaken by a recently formed women's social activist club; with more than four hundred attributed recipes. Entries whose details hold promise: Corned Shad Celeried Oysters Creamed Dried Beef Glazed Sweet Potatoes Succotash requiring one third more corn than beans Delaware Biscuits Potato Rolls Crab Salad Moonshine Pudding Frozen Cherry Custard Quince and Pear Marmalade Preserved Cantaloupe Rind Peach Wine Homemade Hoarhound. ~ Encoded in the title is a sort of hybrid of local pride and patriotic fervor: the Delaware Blue Hen is a traditional landrace analogous to a cultivar - that is not a breed but rather a stock variety - whose origins are alleged to date to the Revolutionary Era. A perennial symbol of tenacity it would be adopted in 1939 as Delaware's state bird. A prefatory note page 18 provides one clue to the date of publication in a reference to the "six years and more of the existence of the Club" which "was organized February 14th 1898." Confirmation is supplied on page 8 by an advertisement for Walter Pardoe's furniture store which brackets its years of service to the community as 1877-1904. ~ Mary Louise Donnell Mrs. George William Marshall 1853-1933 married into a prominent family of physicians who were instrumental in establishing the first hospital in Milford and in codifying its emergency care. She served as president of the Delaware State Federation of Women's Clubs during the first decade of the last century thereby energizing the membership of the Milford Club through her connections across the state and her engagement of speakers on subjects as wide-ranging as agriculture and nutrition. ~ The Milford New Century Club took its name from one of the earliest documented women's clubs founded in the United States the New Century Club in Philadelphia organized as a direct result of interest in the Women's Pavilion of the Centennial Exposition. In its wake social activists found common cause in promoting vocational training for women reforms in public education and child labor laws and women's suffrage. Women of the Milford New Century Club set about raising funds to purchase a schoolhouse known as the Classical Academy - which George Marshall had attended - for use as their meeting house. Thanks in part to the success of The Blue Hen's Chicken's Cook Book they completed the purchase in 1905. ~ The clubhouse was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Almost exactly thirty years later in 2012 the building was gravely damaged by Hurricane Sandy. Amidst the tumult that followed a Milford couple arranged to purchase and restore it through procurement of grants from the National Park Service. The building was rededicated in June 2015. ~ Some age-toning especially at the edges. In publisher's yellow cloth rubbed and soiled with lettering and an image of hen and chicks in blue. Ink signature of collector Eloise Schofield to front flyleaf and with her embossed "ex libris" on title page. Scarce.

1781D8826Venice / Naples: Antonio Graziosi / Per Vincenzo Mazzola-Vocola 1788 / 1781. Hardcover. Very Good. Morandis rare treatise on operative midwifery with Rastrellis even rarer work on wisdom and morals. MORANDI Antonio fl. 18th century. Trattato Universale Teorico e Pratico dei Parti necessario alle mammane ai chirurghi ed ai medici. Venice: Antonio Graziosi 1788. 8vo 190 x 120mm. v-xxx 399 pages; lacks 2 blanks at beginning. Bound with: RASTRELLI Giovanni Ranieri. Documenti morali e civili da un padre diretti al suo figlio. Naples: Per Vincenzo Mazzola-Vocola 1781. xii 80 pages. Oval portrait of Rastrelli signed by Joseph Tronus. Woodcut chapter head- and tail-pieces throughout. Near contemporary Italian vellum edges speckled; contents clean only some slight foxing at front and back of volume. Few lines of contents written in Italian script on front free endpaper and signed G. Viparelli on title. <br/><br/>The rise of obstetrics in the early modern period had a mixed effect on midwifery. Some midwives clung to their traditional ways. Others embraced the new science and sought retraining. National policies also shaped the contours of midwifery practice. Overall the art of midwifery could no longer be considered a subdivision of medicine but must be regarded as a branch of surgery requiring a thorough knowledge of surgical principles. The title of this work does not indicate its comprehensiveness; it is more than an operative midwifery for it includes much that belongs to a general treatise on the subject. Rastrellis work and portrait cannot be found elsewhere suggesting it is commonly an addition to texts and the title translated is a moral and civil work directed by a father to his son. Rastrelli was a noted poet in the latter half of the 18th century. While both parts are exceedingly rare the first is only located at the Wellcome Library and the Biblioteca della Fondazione Biblioteca San Bernandino in Italy.
