Owner's signature of author and critic Michele Cantarella a leading anti-fascist Italian expatriate on the cover of one issue and three issues with a bit of pencilled marginal bracketing by him. Modest toning wear and soil a few tiny tears at the spine ends the first five issues with the pages somewhat toned and occasional very light foxing mostly confined to the first and last leaves a nice very good or better run of this somewhat delicate Italian literary magazine that featured two publishers and three editors during this time period. Of particular note is the inclusion of "Angoscia" "Anguish" later known as "Anguish in the Barracks" in issue 16 a very early possibly the earliest published story by Italo Calvino predating his first book by two years. The final issue prints a "Referendum" of four questions for poets about their work and claim that they have already received responses from Eugenio Montale Cesare Pavesi Corrado Alvaro and others and will begin publishing their responses in the next issue but the magazine ceased publication with No. 17/18.

18225548Edinburgh: Thomsons Brothers 1822. First edition. Contemporary half calf over marbled boards with gilt to spine. Measuring 140 x 80mm and collating complete including frontis and publisher's catalogue to rear: vii 1 blank 199 1 errata 8 1 blank. A Near Fine copy with some scuffing to boards and joints and small chip to foot of spine. Contemporary ownership inscription to front endpaper: "Margaret Jane Palliser. Dublin 1824." A scarce work of juvenile fiction aimed at young women it is unrecorded in OCLC and Sadleir though there is mention of a later 1824 "fourth edition" and an American edition from 1827. <br /> <br /> Simple on its surface each new chapter of Harriet and Her Cousin unfolds a new layer of prejudice that all too commonly prevents young women from finding meaningful connections with each other. Raised in a rural religious household young Harriet has a spiritual awakening that leaves her soul altered. More excited about the world and the people around her and more capable of subtle observations she undertakes a journey to Edinburgh both to visit her soon-to-be-wed best friend Maria as well as to visit her grandfather and cousin Julia. On arrival Harriet is shocked by Julia's coldness and initially assumes it is prejudice against her own Christianity. Introduced to the sparkling and accomplished ladies of Julia's circle she then begins to suspect it is prejudice against her simple country nature. Only over time does Julia feel comfortable opening up to Harriet about her loneliness -- an isolation born out of the high society expectations that women reserve warm feelings and engage instead in gossip back-biting and flirtations that make them untrustworthy. As she has witnessed Harriet's refusal to conform to these behaviors Julia bonds with Harriet as an intimate friend capable of deep and meaningful conversation. Indeed Harriet learns that even with her awakened spirituality she too has much to learn about dismantling her own prejudices. Thomsons Brothers unknown
19107403Cleveland Ohio: Privately printed 1910. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Very good-. Quarto 147pp. rectos only illustrated. About very good in the publisher's full dark brown/black morocco with gilt borders dentelles silk doublures and endpapers and floral decoration to spine compartments. General rubbing to extremities with the leather a bit dried out. Contents clean and bright. Gently offset on the front board with a few old droplet stains. The limitation page states: "A few copies of this volume prepared for the family have been printed for private presentation to friends whom she held dear." This copy was presented to Mrs. Seville H. Morse with her name written on the blank line below the statement possibly her signature; more likely so issued by the publisher. The binding is not signed; by appearances this was all done in-house by the publisher - a testament to the resources and abilities of printers and publishers even in a second-tier American city at the turn of the century. A Cleveland rarity; we found no copies of this handsomely bound and highly limited edition nor any of the trade edition in commerce. Flora Stone Mather wife of Samuel Cleveland's richest man for several decades was a major philanthropist in the Cleveland area. The Flora Stone Mather College for Women at Case Western was named for her as is the Flora Stone Mather Center for Women. Privately printed hardcover
19005954Fulton Pittsburgh 1900. Faux cloth over marbled boards with ownership label to upper left corner with school district and compiler information. Measuring 9 x 11.5 inches and comprised of 22 pages of sketches herbal specimens and sample essays all recto. Firmly bound and with some dampstaining to the lower gutter not affecting text. Representing a range of exercises completed by state normal school student Flora Yagle the book presents researchers with a range of study opportunities including turn of the century pedagogical practice and curricula as well as genealogical and social history work regarding the family structure work and education of first-generation immigrants living on the East Coast. <br /> <br /> One of seven children born to German immigrants Flora Yagle b. 1886-7 clearly grew up in a family that emphasized education and upward mobility. The paper label identifies Yagle as an eighth-year student indicating that she was probably in her early teens when she completed these lessons. Census documents from around the time of her birth and childhood list her father as a foundry worker; and into her adulthood they shift to record him as the general manager of the foundry. Similar ambition was instilled in his children who are documented in census information as students or unemployed during their childhoods with work only appearing in their adulthoods. During Flora's youth she had brothers working as clerks and bookkeepers. By the time of her adulthood she has become a school clerk while her sister has obtained a position as a librarian. <br /> <br /> Part of Flora's training would have been conducted at the Fulton Elementary School located in Pittsburgh's Highland Park. A neighborhood for the rising middle class Highland Park and its schools were still in their infancy while Flora was in hers; while the residential district had been opened in 1879 the school was founded in 1894 and both intended to provide fresh air open spaces and pleasant living to skilled workers and their families who were flocking to Pittsburgh for its work opportunities. Historically Pennsylvania had been a vanguard for public and progressive education. "In his 1830 address to the state legislature Governor George Wold championed the cause of universal public education" as a scaffold for "the security and stability of the individual privileges we have inherited from our ancestors" Explore History. Before the decade was over "more than 1000 local school districts under a single statewide system of instruction" had been founded working to regularize "educational standards curriculum and instructional credentials" in tandem with the 1857 Normal School Act which founded "a network of ten state academies to prepare public school teachers" Explore History. <br /> <br /> Flora's generation was a beneficiary of these policies. Her notebook shows a range of work with creativity and visual arts central to her learning. In addition to pressed floral specimens likely from the school grounds or her home garden her book also contains a visual and textual representation of the spectrum of colors in a rainbow; illustrated lotus blossoms with a short essay on the botanical facts and cultural uses of the flower in Egypt; black and white sketches focused on perspective and shading; geometrical figures designed to be cut out and folded but here present; and figure drawings of children in Victorian clothing much like she and her classmates would wear. <br /> <br /> US Census 1890 1900 1910 1920. unknown
