The first edition of a juvenile tale of libricide sure to make the blood of any bibliophile run cold. The chance discovery of a printer's woodblock representing the head of an elderly man leads to the reading of a manuscript account of the great-grandfather of a young group of siblings relating his time as a student at Christ's Hospital from 1725-28 alongside a collection of his poetry. It is mentioned that the young pupil spending a day in London is given the task - by a tea-dealer - of picking apart old books which have been purchased as waste paper and folding the sheets into bags. As for the manuscript poems it is agreed that they should be sent to 'the well-known friend of youth on Holborn-Hill' for publication - a thinly veiled reference to publisher William Darton.

1900173952New York: Eaton & Mains; Jennings & Pye Cincinnati 1900. China's most influential female scholar First edition first printing presentation copy inscribed by the author on the first blank "To my friend Mrs Oliver Crane from Esther E. 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. Sibylla Bailey Crane born Sibylla Adelaide Bailey 1851-1902 was actively involved in many learned societies and co-founded the Castilian Club a women's study group based in Boston. Together with her husband Revd Oliver Crane she collected art and antiquities donating several pieces to the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. She died suddenly in the same month as she received this copy likely having returned from visiting the author at her Pacific Street house in Brooklyn. Octavo.
