183063Bergamo: Dalla Stamperia Mazzoleni 1830. 24mo. 130 x 85 mm 5 1/8 x 3 1/4 inches. 32 24 pp. Contemporary red morocco gilt-tooled borders and spine. A lovely copy. First edition. Superb copy of this seemingly unrecorded volume designed to raise funds for the maintenance of girls' schools north of Bergamo near the Swiss border. It is published by the 'Pia opera di Santa Dorotea' an Italian movement founded in 1815 to provide education for female orphans. The volume contains two separately paginated parts each in the form of a letter. The first describes in a cheerful style the work of the schools the directors and assistants all female and the flavor of the education the girls receive; all the girls learn to read and write and educated in virtues of piety and charity. Contrasting the petulance nascent malice and puerile nature of many girls with that of those in the care of the Santa Dorotea schools the author notes that 'the education of these peasant girls is a miracle.' The author describes some of the highlights of the school year including the feast of St. Tecla 'a spectacular event'. At the end of the first part there is an advertisement for the charity's publication Pia opera di Santa Dorotea Bergamo 1830. The second part consists of a dialogue between the author of the first letter and two potential donors to the charity who after more discussion about the administration of the schools agree to make a donation.

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.
