18792934Butler County Democrat Print; Hamilton Ohio; 1879. 1879 Second edition "revised and enlarged". Inscribed and signed on the front free endpaper by the author's grandson Dr. J. S. H. Potter dated Apr 17 1895. A rare Ohio/American medical imprint five OCLC library holdings for this second edition; none for the first edition. Full leather gilt spine lettering 8 3/4 x 6 inches 500 pp. index two small illustrations. Good plus or very good minus. Dr. Potter assisted the escape of a fugitive slave to Canada: "Perhaps the most notable incident in the extended and eventful life of Dr. POTTER was the rescue of a fugitive slave named Jerry in Syracuse New York about 1852. It occurred soon after the fugitive slave law was passed and on the occasion of holding a national anti-slavery convention at that place. Daniel WEBSTER had recently delivered a speech to an immense concourse there threatening that "when this convention thronged the city a noted fugitive would be arrested and taken back to slavery. The United States Government would teach the people that there was potency in law." Four United States marshals had been detailed from as many adjacent cities and the whole police force of Syracuse were ready. Jerry was arrested and placed in chains. About thirty thousand people were waiting to witness the scene. The man with blue eyes red cheeks and brown curly hair with no other semblance of a negro was taken away from the officers by the mob and finally placed by Dr. POTTER in the grounds of a residence inhabited by a stiff pro-slavery man where the most active search failed to find him. After the lapse of a week and search having been made from house to house when detection was imminent the doctor arranged with Jerry's host to drive in with a meat wagon got Jerry in and covered with blankets he drove before the door of the Syracuse House hitched went in with the doctor took cigars and drove out through the city about 4 P.M. in beautiful sunshine no one suspecting the presence of Jerry. After reaching Brewerton seventeen miles; Dr. POTTER took Jerry in his carriage sending the team back and conveyed the fugitive to Mexicoville and by the underground railroad to a small harbor on Lake Ontario whence he obtained a passage on a small sailing vessel to Canada. No more noted fugitive slave case ever occurred in the United States and in it the doctor was the principal agent of success." 3214027. Signed by Authors. 2nd Edition. Hardcover. Good.

1804167591804. This January 1804 session laws volume preserves the enacted statutes of the Massachusetts General Court including the original incorporation of Bradford Academy an institution that became one of the earliest centers of advanced education in the Commonwealth and a foundational site in the history of women's education in New England. Printed under legislative authority the volume opens with the formal constitutional language "BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled" situating the text within the statutory framework established by the 1780 Massachusetts Constitution. Among its enactments is the charter establishing Bradford Academy later recognized as the third oldest post-secondary institution in Massachusetts after Harvard University and Williams College. Initially admitting both male and female students at a time when advanced instruction for women remained severely restricted Bradford evolved by 1836 into the first all-female academy in Massachusetts marking a significant development in the institutionalization of women's academic training in the early republic.<br /> <br /> Acts and Laws. January 12 1804 Session. Boston 1804. Pamphlet volume identified as Vol. 14 of 17 for the legislative session. The title page bears the Commonwealth device and the heading "IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 1804" followed by Chapter I "An act in addition to an act entitled 'An act to incorporate John Codman and others into a company by the name of The Suffolk Insurance Company.'" The volume includes commercial financial and educational incorporation statutes enacted during the session. Pamphlet format.<br /> <br /> Beyond its educational significance the volume documents the expanding legal infrastructure of early American corporate and civic development. Incorporation acts for insurance companies academies and other enterprises reflect Massachusetts' position as a commercial and maritime center in the Federalist era when legislative charters served as the primary mechanism for authorizing financial institutions educational foundations and public improvements. The Bradford Academy act is particularly notable for embedding coeducational authorization within state law at a formative moment in the republic's institutional growth. Early session law pamphlets preserve statutory language prior to later codification and revision offering direct evidence of legislative intent and institutional formation. Edge wear; scattered foxing; small tears along fore-edge; text complete and legible; overall good plus condition. A significant early republic legal printing linking state incorporation practice to the emergence of formalized educational access for women in Massachusetts. unknown

It should be noted that the set was published in France in the years leading up to the French Revolution. Originally thsee volumes were published over a 3 year period "under the aprouval of the King". Later the collection included other subjects during the the French revolution. The slow process of education reform to include women began in the 1840s after it was acknowledged that if women were the first educators of children then they needed a solid education. This set dating form 1785 predate that time by half a century and as such is a valuable early attempt that goes beyond most simple women education books. As with other books of the period the volumes were provided unbound to subscribers of the series who would have been responsible for their own bindings. unknown books

18792316Connecticut 1879. Near Fine. Archive of 13 handwritten manuscript essays composed by a Connecticut schoolgirl. Comprised of approximately 40 pages of autograph material written in ink by the same neat hand and signed "Carrie Breed." In addition to titles the majority of essays are dated and include Breed's school name and location. An exciting and interesting look into the work of a diligent young woman excited in particular about the female authors of her own time.<br/><br/>Founded in 1851 Parker Academy was a boarding school that boasted "a healthy location a tidy village an orderly community and a most beautiful valley with pleasant surroundings -- a good place for an institution of education" Historic Buildings of Connecticut. While little else is known about the school the manuscript assignments of Carrie Breed reveal a curriculum that emphasized traditional feminine skills such as polite conversation and elegant handwriting as well as more rigorous subjects including literature composition and botany. The earliest works contained in this archive are three copy exercises assigned to Carrie to practice forming her handwriting; and they speak to her own burgeoning literary interests. The first "Scenes of Childhood" is an assignment drawn from Charles Northend's The American Speaker Being a Collection of Pieces in Prose Poetry or Dialogue Designed for Exercises in School 1856. Yet the two that follow later in the academic year of 1875-76 appear to be selections chosen by Carrie herself as an instructor has added pencil notations "taken from Miss Alcott in Little Women." Published not even a decade before Alcott's novel about sisterhood and women's lives made an impact on girls across America; and here with more assertive mature penmanship Carrie copies out the long passages of "My Beth" and "In the Garrett" written by Alcott's character the aspiring author Jo. <br/><br/>The remaining essays in the archive contain Carrie's own reflections and writing as she matures as a student and thinker. Content is largely focused on moral concepts such as Influence Benevolence and Hospitality although two essays also consider the domestic work of cultivating house plants and performing house cleaning. In two essays Carrie reflects on her relationship to the seasons and to the experience of walking in the woods. The final essay as she nears the end of her time in school and likely reflects on her future as a wife and mother she writes on Filial Trust. As the months and academic years pass it is possible to see her penmanship and her thinking begin to change from those of a girl into those of a young woman with her own mind.<br/><br/>With rich research possibilities in fields including but not limited to the history of women's education paleography contemporary receptions to women's literature the history of American education and gender studies.
