182285688Paris Alexis Eymery : Imp. Joly, Dôle 1822, in-18 (8,5x13,9cm), élégante reliure romantique,demi-chagrin noir à dos long décorés de motifs dans le goût du temps, touches tranches dorées, XVI, 192p., 226p., 216p., 180 p. Edition en bel état de conservation complète des 12 gravures hors-textes. De rares rousseurs & marques du temps.En préambule, l'Avertissement sur la seconde édition parisienne (la première parue à Leipsick en 1774), suivi d'une Lettre de l'Auteur à l'Editeur de la première édition. En 1756, Louise d'Épinay se préoccupait déjà du thème de l'éducation dans ses Lettres à mon fils. Elle rédige Les Conversations d'Émilie à l'intention de sa petite-fille, Émilie de Belzunce, sous la forme de dialogues vivants entre une mère et sa fille. Elle cherche également à encourager les autres mères à suivre son exemple quant à l'enseignement de leurs filles, elle insiste sur l'importance fondamentale jouée par la mère dans l'éducation de celles-ci, qu'elle soit morale ou physique. Louise d'Épinay passe ainsi plusieurs heures par jour avec Émilie, et rédige les commentaires de la jeune fille, mais aussi ses questions, ses réflexions, ce qui constitue l'essentiel du texte. Elle interroge également, et remet en cause, les procédés et théories mises en place par ses prédécesseurs .Le public réserva un accueil très favorable au traité lors de sa première parution. Ses idées eurent une probable influence sur les traités de pédagogie postérieurs aux Conversations, à savoir sur les écrits d'Isabelle de Charrière, de Germaine de Staël, de Nicolas de Condorcet, d'Arnaud Berquin, d'Henriette Campan ou encore de Pestalozzi. À sa mort, ce fut Grimm qui prit alors la jeune Émilie de Belzunce sous sa protection. Source : Wikipédia
1870h45578Pittsburgh 1870. Hardcover. Very good. 9 x 7 inches leather backed cloth boards very good light wear neat restoration along outer joints. Approximately 80-100 sheets of various colored paper filled in on both sides flyers with mounted newspaper articles drawings theatre programs invitations etc. kept by Florence Howe 1849-1929 daughter of Thomas Marshall Howe a businessman banker industrialist politician etc. considered Pittsburgh's "leading citizen" of the generation before Carnegie & Frick. Florence Howe would eventually marry George Wilkins Guthrie a respected well known attorney in Pittsburgh the Guthrie name comes up in this scrapbook fairly often; the two families were part of the same social set. Florence signed and dated the flyleaf 1870 at the family residence Greystone. There is a 7x5" photo of Florence and members of her family at Cape May in 1872 clippings that report marriages deaths and other local news as well as those articles that mention her father Thomas Howe. There are two pages of designs for a stylized "H" for Howe possibly to be used for family stationary or for a bookplate. Of specific interest in the news to Florence was the opening of Mrs. Jarley's Wax Works there is reportage about this as well as ephemera and programs from the venue itself. Of interest to Pittsburgh historians are the many programs of the amateur theatrical group "Crusaders" that would perform comedies burlesques and dramatic plays in the residences of wealthy Pittsburghers through the 1870s; we note that Florence Howe appeared in at least two of these and the dozens of programs attest to the central place these at-home theatricals had in Florence's life and at least one Crusaders event took place at the Howe residence. Also of interest are seven comedic pencil sketches or cartoons likely by Florence herself or one of her relatives/friends. She was also partial to newspaper verse and there are several pages of clippings of poetry. A very interesting and amusing scrapbook with great Pittsburgh chops coming from one of the most prominent families of the period. The Howe residence was called "Greystone" and sat near the Fifth Ave. entrance of Chatham College part of Millionaires' Row back then. There was a gate house still extant facing Fifth Ave. The main Greystone mansion stood on the hill above this gate house. The property also had a notable natural spring; following the devastating Johnstown Flood of 1889 the Howe family was inspired to make the spring's water accessible and free to the public and the first structure around Howe Springs was built by the architectural firm Alden & Harlow in 1896 as a posthumous memorial to Thomas Howe by his wife Mary A. Howe. Oil tycoon Michael Late Benedum razed Howe's original Greystone and replaced it with a much-praised 23-room mansion also called Greystone built by A. W. Vantine. This replacement mansion was built in 1911 in the grand Edwardian Classical style. This new Greystone was gifted to Chatham College on April 26 1960 and renamed Benedum Hall. It was sold in 1985 to Greystone Associates which turned the estate into six high-end condos. hardcover
