18011On the Education of Women. A Paper Read by Mrs. William Grey at the Meeting of the Society of Arts." William Ridgeway: London 1871. Pamphlet. 64 pages. 5.5" x 8" inches. Maria Georgina Grey was a British writer and women's education advocate. In this paper she writes "The subject I have specially to call your attention to this evening is the low condition of female education the inadequate provision made for it out of the endowments of the country and the difficulty of obtaining support from the general public for any scheme having for its object the higher education of women." Much of the paper concerns education for girls as a path to long-term freedom "It is easy to laugh at old maids it is easy to praise them as the sisters of mercy of life it is not easy to measure the amount of silence suffering of slow wasting away of hope of energy of faculty as the woman sees her youth passing away the boundless horizon of earlier years narrowing more and more middle age finding her as helplessly dependent in her father's house as unable to gratify a single taste to follow a single pursuit which does not chime in with his fancies as she was at 18 or left along to struggle untrained and unarmed in the fierce battle of life for the very means of living." In the paper she proposes the formation of a national movement for promoting women's education "Such an Association might be represented in London by a central committee connected with local committees formed in every considerable country town. By common action from all these different centres a body of evidence might be collected on every point connected with the better education of girls of all classes." Grey went on to form just such an organization the National Union of the Improving the Education of Women of All Classes later renamed the Women's Education Union. The union of which Grey was an active member established the Girls' Public Day School Company in 1872 to provide new schools for girls across social classes. Front and back soft covers missing. Inscription in pencil reads "From the Author 25" on title page. Textblock clean. Overall good condition. unknown

19091'B. Friars Blackfriars London April 27th. 1785.'. 3pp. folio. Bifolium. Addressed on reverse of second leaf 'To Mrs. Squire Wragby near Lincoln.' In fair condition aged and worn with Middleton's seal cut away from the second leaf without any loss to text and a number of closed tears along creases. Seventy lines of neatly-written text. A letter filled with pious sentiment beginning: 'Mr. Squire favored us To-day with a Call and it gave us a peculiar Pleasure to see that he is so well recovered from that Fit of Illness in which my Brother & I saw him notwithstanding the uncommonly severe Winter we have since had. But at the same Time I observed Mr. S. lookt so well I thought I discovered great Anxiety in his Face; which led me without knowing the Particulars of the Court's Decision against his Suit in Law to presume on offering a few Hints for his Consideration with a View to reconcile his Mind to the Divine Providence upon a Supposition of the worst. Duty & the Use of Means are our's; but the Event is GOD's.' Exhortation and anecdote follows with Middleton writing midway through the letter: 'I hope Mrs. Squire will have Grace to exercise a good Understanding with which She is so eminently blessed in reasoning scriptorally & consequently wisely upon the present as well as all other the Vicissitudes of this mortal Life; remembering that there is a Design & a Voice in every Affliction we meet with. The Design through GOD's LOve is our Good. The Voice is To sit more loose in Your Affections to the perishing Things of Tme & Sense which at most are Your's & mine but for a little While .'. The postscript reads: 'Mrs. Middleton begs a Tender of her Compliments <to> You and the Miss Squires.' 'B. Friars [ Blackfriars ], London, April 27th. 1785.' unknown

Manuscript two pages 4to trimmed at bottom with loss of text with light corrections and additions giving the text for pp.407-8 excluding two lengthy quotations from the book to which Brougham gives the reference only.

1899013878Boston Mass: Bigelow & Dowse Co 1899. Fine/No Dust Jacket Issued. <br /> A turn-of-the-century trade presentation showcasing the height of the American bicycle craze and the rapid commercialization of the safety bicycle. <br /> Issued at a critical juncture in leisure transport history this catalog outlines detailed specifications for three premium regional lines: the B & D Special the Park Flyer and the ultra-scarce Copley line which operated exclusively during the year 1899. <br /> It documents the late-Victorian transition toward standardized consumer athletics featuring specialized mechanics for adult road racers and children's models sourced from the Fay Bicycle Company.<br /> <br /> KEY FEATURES<br /> Visuals: Elaborately illustrated throughout with detailed technical wood engravings demonstrating frame configurations gear layouts and drop-handlebar profiles for specific models.<br /> Binding: Original stiff illustrated stapled wraps; retaining bright clean corporate lithographic cover design.<br /> Content: Exhaustive parts pricing mechanical dimensions and optional upgrades for the B & D Special Park Flyer and Copley lines including technical agent data for Ohio-manufactured Dayton Bicycles.<br /> Imprint: Bigelow & Dowse Co. Boston Massachusetts 1899.<br /> Specs: 8.5 x 8 inches; 12 pages complete.<br /> Unmarked domestic copy completely free of library stamps or industrial workshop notation.<br /> <br /> CONDITION: Fine. A remarkably bright and well-preserved specimen. The stiff paper wraps remain clean flat and structurally sound with no fading to the lithographic ink. The staples are secure and completely free of oxidation or rust transfer. Internally the pages are crisp bright and untouched completely without flaw marks or the heavy thumb-soiling typical of late 19th-century hardware and trade literature. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE --<br /> By the late 1890s the American landscape had been utterly transformed by the bicycle boom. The introduction of the safety bicycle-featuring two equal-sized wheels and a chain-driven rear axle-replaced the dangerous high-perch ordinary bicycle democratizing cycling for women children and the broader urban public.<br /> <br /> This 1899 catalog from Boston hardware powerhouse Bigelow & Dowse documents the peak of this cultural frenzy. Rather than acting as a simple order sheet the volume showcases how traditional industrial jobbers adjusted their entire distribution frameworks to accommodate the mass-market demands of seasonal sports and athletic leisure.<br /> <br /> The inclusion of specialized youth models from the Fay Bicycle Company emphasizes the expanding nature of the late-nineteenth-century consumer market demonstrating that bicycle ownership had transitioned from an elite hobby into a standardized family fixture.<br /> <br /> SCHOLARLY FEATURES<br /> Design: Captures late-Victorian athletic marketing layouts pairing bold typography with isolated mechanical profiles to emphasize structural lightweight speed.<br /> Scholarship: Serves as a vital primary document for the history of American transportation tracking the rapid shift away from the high-wheel ordinary bicycle to the equal-wheeled safety design.<br /> Influence: Preserves the fleeting industrial footprint of the Copley Company whose single-year operational window 1899 makes their surviving trade literature extraordinarily scarce.<br /> <br /> SUBJECTS: Bicycles 19th-Century Transportation American Leisure Culture Boston Commerce Industrial Design Trade Catalogues Ephemera Fay Bicycle Company Huffman Bicycles Dayton Ohio Manufacturing Ephemera Trade Catalogue.<br /> <br /> BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCE: OCLC/WorldCat 49198294 locating only 1 copy globally at the University of Maine.
