16881251publisher not identified London 1688. First Edition. Softcover. Very Good Condition. Pamphlet A contemporary collection of documents chronicling King James IIâ€™s attempt to change Magdalen College of Oxford University into a Roman Catholic institution.

Bloxam expanded the collection in his Magdalen College and King James II 1686-1688 1886. In the introduction he describes Jamesâ€™ actions in the conflict as â€œan overt and undisguised step towards opening the chief seminaries of the Church of England to Roman influences and occupationâ€ p. viii. Although there is no editor named the binderâ€™s label on the front cover attributes it to Henry Fairfax who is often named as the likely editor. Fairfaxâ€™s biography in the Dictionary of National Biography 1885-1900 however reports the editorship â€œis usually claimed for Charles Aldworth vice-president of the collegeâ€ p. 135. The royal order suspending Aldworth and Fairfax from Fellowships at the college is provided on p. 13. Other claimants include John Hough and Francis Bagshaw.

[GALILEIANA / JESUIT EDUCATION] / MARCHELLI, GiovanniBiblio.com

Trattato del Compasso di Proporzione.

17595386Milan: Giuseppe Galeazzi 1759. Hardcover. Near Fine. 8vo 20.2 x 14.4 cm. XXII pp. 352 pp. 8 ff. with 1 large 40 x 50 cm folding plate containing 5 illustrations; title-page printed in red and black engraved device on title. Bound in contemporary publisher's binding title in ink on spine. Minor edge wear minor staining to lower cover. Quires C and E loosening internally very fresh and clean retaining deckle at fore-edge and bottom edge toning to plate marginal paper flaw and rear reinforcement of crease to plate otherwise an excellent copy. Rare first and sole edition of this treatise on the proportional compass written by the Jesuit Giovanni Marchelli. The work was expressly written for the use of Marchelli's mathematics pupils in the Jesuit College of Milan and thus provides interesting evidence for the use of scientific instruments in Jesuit education. The text offers an advanced understanding of Galileo's landmark instrument and coming from a Jesuit it is perhaps notable that Galileo's "invention" of the instrument is so candidly celebrated. The proportional compass or 'sector' in fact combines two separate instruments one for making observations by adding a quadrant to its arms the other to calculate various measures like proportion trigonometry and squares and cube roots. Its several scales permit easy and direct solutions for problems in surveying gunnery and navigation. Conceived as a universal instrument the device was adapted for a variety of pedagogical purposes far more diverse than Galileo's sector ranging from pure geometry to such practical operations as taking measurements for the architectural orders p. 11 converting currency and calculating interest p. 42 performing various 'rule-of-three' operations such as the dissolution of business partnerships p. 53 surveying passim and the construction of Napier tables p. 73. The compass scales are well illustrated and the text includes tables giving the positions of the various markings. The large folding plate provides diagrams "for constructing Galileo's quadrant" that show with great refinement exactly where the markings on the quadrant's arm and tangent are to be engraved. The final chapter deals with military problems such as the determination of the caliber of cannon balls. OCLC locates copies at Adler Planetarium Michigan Oklahoma Woodstock Theological.

185664187New York NY: Harper & Brothers Publishers 329 & 331 Pearl Street 1856. 12mo. vi 7-192 2 29 1 pp. With numerous woodcut-engravings throughout the text. Embossed blue-green-coloured publisherâ€™s cloth gilt lettering on spine slight shelfwear rubbing offset toning on endpapers still a VG copy from the library of Eleanore Weinstock. Second printing of this informative work in applied health statistics by the noted 19th-Century womanâ€™s reformer offering a valuable guide to contemporary ideas about womenâ€™s health and sexual exploitation of women and the seeming sexual precocity of the younger generation. Beecher declaims in her introduction that â€œthe majority of parents in this nation are systematically educating the rising generation to be feeble deformed homely sickly and miserable; as much so as if it were their express aim. . . .â€ In preparing this work she had asked one woman in each of 200 different communities to report on the health of 10 married women among their friends and the replies showed that the great majority were â€œhabitual invalidsâ€ â€œdelicateâ€ or â€œdiseasedâ€ with only a small number well and strong due to lack of fresh air and exercise tight-waisted garments poor diet and ignorance of bodily functions including sexuality and sexual exploitation by male physicians. As the older sister to Harriet Beecher Stowe and Henry Ward Beecher Catharine spent her career promoting education for women and urging education reforms treating women as teaching professionals including founding of the short-lived Western Female Institute in 1837. Catharine Beecher also advocated that not only should women receive rigorous instruction in child rearing home economics and domestic science but also taught history Latin rhetoric algebra logic physical education and science. Although she vigorously advocated for womenâ€™s education supported better health practices and increasing public roles she remained later in life resistant to womenâ€™s suffrage believing it would interfere with their roles in ensuring morality and security in the home.

[History of Education – Women – Quakers] Brown Brothers; Illustrations Bureau; EJ Reily E JBiblio.com

Eleven Photographs of Open Air Schools Including the Phebe Anna Thorne Model School at Bryn Mawr College

1910List2847Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania; and others 1910. Eleven photographs approximately 7 x 9 Â½ inch and smaller. With stamps for Brown Brothers Illustrations Bureau and E.J. Reily verso; most with captions verso. Most with chipping and wear at edges; overall good. Open-air schools became popular in the United States in the early 20th century in response to public health crises including tuberculosis.1 Conducting lessons in open-air classrooms reduced the transmission of diseases which allowed many children to attend school despite their often chronic illnesses. Offered here are eleven photographs of open-air schools three of which are identified as the Phebe Anna Thorne Model School at Bryn Mawr. The Phebe Anna Thorne Model School opened in 1913 under the direction of the Collegeâ€™s president Carey Thomas using funds donated by Samuel Thorne in memory of his sister Phebe Anna.2 The Thornes were an affluent New York Quaker family; Phebe Anna 1828â€“1909 was the only daughter to survive to adulthood and was a philanthropist and supporter of progressive social causes.3 The school was part of Bryn Mawrâ€™s Department of Education which trained its students in teaching younger pupils rather than those of highschool or college age â€“ the students in most of these photos are probably in about 4th or 5th grade.3 It also allowed testing of more cutting-edge pedagogical practices: the structure of the school was quite experimental including open-air classrooms outdoor naptime a flexible curriculum and less formal assessment. Of interest to scholars of the history of education especially experimental pedagogy. 1 Sherman C. Kingsley & F.B.

[Honorable Prostitution] [Economics of Marriage] [Women's Education] [Broadside Ballad]Biblio.com

The Dandy Wife

18285421London: T. Birt 1828. First edition. Single sheet measuring 250 x 185mm and printed in two columns to recto. Some edgewear to margins not affecting text; a bit of foxing and toning largely confined to margins. A scarce and delicate survivor OCLC documents only one example at the National Library of Scotland. The present is the only example on the market. The Dandy Wife is narrated by a man who aimed "to choose me out a loving wife" at the age of twenty-one but whose experience becomes a warning to "all young men of high renown": "If you want a tidy wife Beware of a boarding school." What unfolds is a satire of how the marriage economy is affected when women have access to knowledge -- intellectual and physical -- and how by meeting a man's superficial expectations a woman can fulfill her own more pressing needs. Thinking that a boarding school girl will have the innocence submissiveness and domestic skill he desires the narrator selects a wife from among their ranks. Thinking only of what he can obtain from such a bargain he is unprepared for what an educated woman brings into his house. The Dandy Wife he describes understands the commodity value of her own beauty and material adornment and that these are her key means for acquiring wealth of her own. "She takes one-half of what I earn In drinking gin and tea; Besides such frills and furbelows My Dandy Wife does wear.Her sleeves upon her dandy gown Oh! Lack they're such a size You'd think they were two balloons that in the air would rise." Aside from staying on par with fashion trends her clothing assists her in avoiding domestic tasks she abhors. She refuses to do laundry more than monthly and through ridiculous cooking failures she rapidly establishes that the kitchen is not a showcase for her skillset. Accustomed to a life of learning she is not trained to conduct domestic business. By the ballad's end it becomes clear that the Dandy Wife was savvier in managing a marriage than her husband was. For not only does her superior intellect help her carve out a more satisfying role but she also has physical knowledge that predates him: "The day that I was married I thought I'd got a charming maid But I was much deceived.For scarce five months we'd married been When she had a darling son.
