185838683Bristol: Printed by Isaac Arrowsmith 1858. First edition. Stapled paper wrappers. Good copies; chipped wrappers one nearly detached contents clean. 20 pp.; 24 pp. 16mo. Mary Carpenter 1807-1877 "was the leading female advocate of deprived and delinquent children in mid-nineteenth-century England and one of the first philanthropists to see the need to provide special facilities for their care. Her child-centred philosophy can be detected in remedial institutions and legislation from the 1850s onwards. As a writer she was maternal though unsentimental. As an administrator she was systematic and persuasive. Despite social indifference and conflicts with officialdom her record of achievement would have been the envy of many contemporary male reformers. she took the initiative in Bristol where she founded a school at Kingswood in 1852 and a separate reformatory school for girls at the Red Lodge in Park Row in 1854. Meanwhile she gave evidence before a parliamentary inquiry on juvenile delinquency 1852 and wrote Juvenile Delinquents their Condition and Treatment 1853. Her testimony writings and practical effort did much to bring pressure to bear on parliament to recognize a need for reform. The Youthful Offenders Act of 1854 'the Magna Carta of the neglected child' owed much to her influence. It authorized the establishment of reformatory schools by voluntary bodies certified by the state and partly funded by the Treasury. Though imperfectly enforced the act represented a major change in penal policy and established a pattern of relations between statutory and voluntary bodies that would serve as a model for the future" Frank Prochaska 'Carpenter Mary 1807-1877' Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.

First Edition. <br/><br/>First performed in Paris at the Conservatoire National on May 18 1892 and at the Théâtre National de l'Opéra on June 17 1892. <br/><br/>"Charpentier carried his spirit of revolt to the Villa Medici and like Debussy before him escaped from Rome to Paris on several occasions. He managed however to write the nucleus of his life's work there: the orchestral suite Impressions d'Italie the symphonie-drame La vie du poète a latterday Lélio and most of the libretto and the first act of his most famous work Louise. Charpentier's growing success in the 1890s with La vie du poète and open-air extravaganzas like the Sérénade à Watteau and La couronnement de la muse coupled with the expected scandal attached to the opera's promiscuous theme and the excitement of the Paris Exhibition led to a box-office triumph in February 1900 though the composer had nearly starved during the previous year. The vociferous young left wing hailed him as the saviour of French music though it was undoubtedly the sociological ideals of this first opera of women's liberation rather than its music which appealed."
