18843298<p>Seventeen-year-old Florence Nightingale Soden began this diary to mark her society debut and to document the expanded social and travel engagements available to her. The first entry on Sept 3 1883 marks her seventeenth birthday and details Soden's extensive journey around Italy and France far away from her home in Clapham England.</p><p>Soden clearly reflects upon some of her entries after they are written and edits herself. She cut out three pages another four have been completely removed from the diary and one page is painted over black. Botanical specimens are tipped in as momentos. Her student days are remembered with a Class I exam paper on the history of Rome laid in at the back. It may be that a Class I mark was the parental prerequisite for the reward of her travel abroad.</p><p>Born in 1866 and named after the illustrious nurse Florence visited her namesake city several times in her journeys. Soden documents everyday vexations and unusual events including singing lessons from Dr Emil Behnke and her experience viewing a tonsillectomy operated by Dr Lennox Manuscript Diary of Florence Nightingale Soden of Larkbere Thornton Road Clapham Park.</p><p>Half bound morocco remains of 3 wax seals on covers. 240pp. 20 x 17cm.

18184414Florence: presso Niccolò Carli 1818. 8vo 193 x 125 mm. 45 3 bl.; 37 1 bl. pp. Letterpress tables. The second part is an Appendix separately paginated with half-title and approbation at end dated 1818. A few small spots to title and last few pages. Modern half linen and marbled boards original rear wrapper bound in.<br /> <br /> Only Edition of the rules for the main Florentine workhouse for the destitute mainly children established by Napoleon in 1812 to honor the birth of his son the King of Rome on the site of two former monasteries in the Florentine suburb of Montedomini. The architect Giuseppe del Rosso combined the two monastic edifices creating one main building in a neoclassical style and a complex of six smaller buildings for workshops etc. <br /> <br /> The Pia Casa di Montedomini as it came to be known was not only a poorhouse but was a center for poor relief generally. The various categories of candidates for aid are set forth in the introduction: children or adults who were taken in by Montedomini or by other “pious establishments†in the city as permanent residents known as Reclusi; those who were given work during the day and who returned to their families at the end of the day; those who were given work to carry out at home; and those few who were granted financial help. The Reclusi were divided by age: children under 3 went to the Spedale degli Innocenti those aged 3 to 10 and 10 to 15 to two different orphanages and those who were disabled or too old to work to another hospice Spedale di Bonifazio. Thus families were broken up: this is acknowledged in the text. Blank sample forms are provided for the admission of each category.<br /> <br /> Most of the rules are devoted to the main Reclusi aged 15 and up. The first chapter outlines admissions procedures; chapters 2 and 3 describe their general living conditions and daily routines and the following chapters address details of work food clothing and bedding all paid for through the inhabitants’ labor. Not surprisingly given the Napoleonic inspiration the Reclusi were organized in quasi-military “brigades†divided by sex and type of work. The brigades were led by the most compliant and hard-working individuals male “Caporali†and female “Maestre†who wore differently colored uniforms from the others. Every moment of the day was strictly regimented and other than eating and sleeping there was no time for anything other than work except for two hours of recreation on the occasional special feast day when only selected individuals were allowed to leave the Casa in strictly controlled groups.<br /> <br /> The daily life of these children and young adults who were imprisoned “for their own good†is hard to fathom for a modern reader: they rose at 6 or 6:30 prayed worked until noon finally were allowed to eat and then went back to work until 11 or 11:30 pm. Most of the work seems to have involved sewing or needlework; some worked for tailors or other textile workers. Dinner was followed by prayers and bedtime silence was imposed at 1 am. Meals were spartan: the rations of each ingredient are prescribed down to the ounce. Lunch was 2 ounces of soup 10 ounces of bread and 6 ounces of meat or a comparable quantity of vegetables. Dinner was bread and vegetables. One suspects that many barely survived in these conditions. <br /> <br /> Other chapters and the Appendix are devoted to the administration of the Casa accounting and record-keeping work assignments and payment and relations with extra-institutional employers.<br /> <br /> I locate no copies in American libraries.

18605434London: Harrison Bookseller to The Queen 1860. FIRST EDITION early issue 8vo pp. 79 1. Original dark brown limp pebbled cloth boards boards bordered with triple blind rules front board lettered direct in gilt. Spine rather nibbled front joint correspondingly weakened boards somewhat mottled. An early printing of Nightingale’s enormously influential nursing book first published in 1860 and reprinted frequently over the following decades. This copy has ‘the right of translation is reserved’ on the title-page ads to the endpapers dated 1860 and 5 of the 6 issue points identified by Bishop & Goldie as denoting an earlier printing. The sixth issue point the corrected heading on p.73 is noted as potentially later being found in both states in copies with all other corrections made. But in this copy that ‘later’ correction is accompanied by the other five in the earlier uncorrected state - perhaps disproving the assumed priority. Bishop & Goldie 4.

187730067London: William H. Harrison 1877. Very Good. London: William H. Harrison 1877. First Edition. Octavo 18.5cm.; publisher's purple pictorial cloth designed by Florence Claxton elaborately embossed in gilt and black all edges gilt black glazed endpapers; iv5-156pp. Cloth a bit scuffed and worn along extremities with brief exposure at corners and spine ends spine cloth faded brief split to rear joint rear hinge cracked but holding textblock slightly shaken in binding else a Very Good bright example. <br /> Inscribed on front flyleaf to the American medium "Mrs. Hollis Billing With the kind regards of The Author / November 1879. London."<br /> <br /> Scarce collection of humorous poems and vignettes by the British author and editor of The Spiritualist. Running in the London Spiritualist circles Harrison would presumably have made the acquaintance of the inscribee American medium Mary Hollis Billing and her husband who served on the 1877 Committee of the Theosophical Society in London. <br /> <br /> Contents only glancingly Spiritualist though true to form the imprint provides the publication date based on different calendars: A.D. 1877 Popular Chronology; A.M. 5877 Torquemada; A.M. 50800077 Huxley. Like many Spiritualists of the day Harrison was especially interested in photography and several pieces in this volume relate to the art and science of the form. Notably "The Lay of the Photographer" describes in nineteen stanzas the chemical transformations of pyroxylin iodine and silver to develop photographs. Needless to say the poem is not very good.<br /> <br /> Advertisements for the present work attribute the cover design to British illustrator cartoonist and fringe Pre-Raphaelite Florence Claxton 1838-1920. One contemporary reviewer aptly describes the book as "handsomely-bound and griffin-guarded" Liverpool Daily Courier. William H. Harrison unknown
186041976London: Harrison 1860. First edition second issue. 8vo. 79 1 pp. Publisher's black pebbled cloth with gilt lettering to the upper board. Later signature to title page. Neatly rebacked with a near matching cloth else very good. Nightingale's second published work an immense success that sold 15000 copies in a couple of months. ".an incomparable treatise but. more than that; it is an alphabet of household hygiene. Dealing as it does with the basic principles of nursing it has never dated and the principles are as valid today as when first formulated." Bishop & Goldie pp. 15-18. First published the same year. The second issue includes the "Right of Translation" note to the title page absent from the first issue. The advertisements to the endpapers feature Burke's Peerage and Baronetage for 1860 on the front pastedown and the "Comparative Grammar of the Dravidian" appears as the last item on Harrison's list to the rear. This copy also accords with all of the issue points of the early issues recorded by the bibliographers apart from the final one the last chapter headline reads "Conclusion". This point however features less consistently than the others. London: Harrison unknown

The Longing for Italy the Italiensehnsucht of the german - speaking countries was forced by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Italian Travels and sent scores of young and old to Italy's shores countryside and cities. The Grand Tour was the 17th- and 18th-century custom of a traditional trip of Europe undertaken by upper-class young European men and women of sufficient means and rank typically accompanied by a chaperone such as a family member when they had come of age about 21 years old. The custom - which flourished from about 1660 until the advent of large-scale rail transport in the 1840s and was associated with a standard itinerary - served as an educational rite of passage. Though the Grand Tour was primarily associated with the British nobility and wealthy landed gentry similar trips were made by wealthy young men of other Protestant Northern European nations and from the second half of the 18th century by some South and North Americans. By the mid 18th century the Grand Tour had become a regular feature of aristocratic education in Central Europe as well although it was restricted to the higher nobility. The tradition declined as enthusiasm for neo-classical culture waned and with the advent of accessible rail and steamship travel. Wikipedia unknown
