Very Good<br /> <br /> A collection of six stories by Esther Copley 1786 - 1851 an abolitionist children's author and public health advocate born in London to parents of Huguenot origin. Her tracts included Hints on the Cholera morbus 1832 a guide to remedies and prevention of cholera and domestic tracts for the working class that included information on childbirth and other health topics. Her numerous works for young readers included collections of stories for middle- and working-class children as well as nonfiction like The Young Reviewers 1821 which introduced children to literary criticism; Scripture Natural History for Youth 1828; and A History of Slavery and its Abolition 1836. A History of Slavery was a crucial work "tracing the course of slavery from scriptural times to Copley's own day. Her youthful audience was spared neither graphic descriptions of the sufferings of black slaves in the West Indies nor lengthy accounts of the proceedings of the anti-slavery movement" Oxford DNB. Copley's work remains "a witness to the significant commitment of nonconformist women to the anti-slavery cause" ibid. Very Good . Printed for Houlston and Co unknown

They must take this on faith and you are to be the faith-builder for the little ones."<br /> <br /> The name of the notebook's author and owner appears in a list of 1900 Normal School graduates in Suffolk County issued as part of the annual New York State Superintendent's Report: Esther Alice Andrews of Patten's Mills successfully completed the English Course.

1829189543Hartford: Packard & Butler 1829. First edition of this pamphlet advocating for women's education by the seminary's founder. This copy has the gift inscription on the front free endpaper "E. Tomlinson from S. Brigham"; the recipient was likely Eliza Tomlinson perhaps 1817-1846 and the giver Susan Brigham 1804-1892 both listed among the pupils of the seminary at the rear p. 81; 84. Brigham became a teacher the following year and was preceptor of the Female Seminary at Uxbridge Massachusetts from 1831 to 1835. Harriet Beecher Stowe who roomed with Brigham in 1829 described her as possessing "a fine mind and most unconquerable energy and perseverance of character. From early childhood she has been determined to obtain an education and to attain to a certain standard. Where persons are determined to be anything they will be. I think for this reason she will make a first rate character" Hedrick p. 55. A list of 61 women's names is written on the rear pastedown in pencil perhaps those of students. Catharine Esther Beecher 1800-1878 promoted the domestic role of women and viewed them as suited to the role of teaching in the same way as they were suited to motherhood. The Hartford Female Seminary was one of the first significant American educational establishments for women. Octavo. Original blue printed boards brown cloth backstrip edges uncut.

Baldwin 1218 Pacific St Brooklyn Jan. 1902". Crane was an accomplished musician a keen traveller and a member of several New England societies including the American Oriental Society. Esther E. Baldwin 1840-1910 known to contemporaries as the "Chinese Champion" because of her advocacy for Chinese immigrants in the United States served in Fuzhou as a missionary throughout the 1860s and 1870s. In The Chinese Book of Etiquette she offered the first adaptation into English of the Nu Jie by Ban Zhao c.45-120 CE a leading Han dynasty literatus. The daughter of the court historian Ban Biao Ban enjoyed a privileged education at a time when the majority of Han women were not given formal tutoring in the classics. Her Nu Jie written to prepare her daughters and nieces for life was a cornerstone of Confucian thought for 2000 years. Drawing from ideas contained in the Confucian Li Ji Classic of Rites it stressed the virtues of obedience and self-sacrifice: "All girls everywhere first should learn to cultivate virtue. Of cultivating virtue's methods the most important is to be pure and upright in morals" p. 1. After the death of her brother Ban Gu Ban completed his Han Shu Book of Han the standard official history of the Western Han Dynasty.
