18503448Great Britain 1850. Comprised of 88 manuscript pages of mathematical definitions tables methods and exercises in a single hand with the ownership signature of "Caroline Waters Age 16 yrs" to the front endpaper. Marbled paper vernacular binding measuring 8 x 12 inches and stitched at spine. Caroline's metric measurements and English currency reveal her to be a student somewhere in the UK. Though the commonness of her name and the absence of a specific date prevents us from locating her in genealogy records the manuscript she left behind reveals much about how and why girls of her age and class were being taught arithmetic.<br/><br/>Caroline's elegant practiced hand suggests that she is a member of the rising middle class and the opening of the book suggests that she is a beginning to intermediate mathematician. At the top of the first page she defines Arithmetic as "the art of computing by numbers" which "has five principal sic rules for this purpose viz. Numeration Subtraction Addition Multiplication and Division." Using this definition she divides her notebook into a section for each providing a definition for that principle plus clear-cut examples of its use in both Simple and Compound formats. Numeration Subtraction and Addition are grouped together at the front; and after these sections conclude Caroline enters in Practical Questions in Compound Addition and Subtraction. These involve word problems involving the exchange of money and the calculation of wet and dry weights cloth measurements and time. She then mirrors this with Multiplication and Division before adding sections on Decimal Fractions more Practical Questions and sections on Federal Money and Simple Interest.<br/><br/>The organization of the manuscript suggests that Caroline copied it out for continued reference where sections are easy to locate and problems clearly illustrate each of the principles. And the emphasis in sample problems on currency conversion monetary exchange and banking implies that her family in some way wanted her to be aware of these concepts.<br/><br/>An exceptional and rich document Caroline's notebook is a rich resource for study including but not limited to the history of women's education middle class education women's domestic use of mathematics women in business paleography genealogy gender studies. unknown books
18223447Great Britain 1822. Comprised of 78 manuscript pages of mathematical definitions tables methods and exercises in a single hand with the ownership signature of Elizabeth Young and a running date made intermittently to the footers. Blue paper vernacular binding measuring 8 x 12 inches and stitched at spine; later tape reinforcement. Elizabeth's metric measurements and English currency reveal her to be a student somewhere in the UK. Though the commonness of her name prevents us from locating her specifically in genealogy records the manuscript she left behind reveals much about her.<br/><br/>Elizabeth's notebook is composed in a meticulous cursive hand with neat headers each dated and her name to many of the footers. Section each have a definition leading into rules and from there into word problems and calculations. Each new section progresses in complexity requiring Elizabeth to conduct longer calculations and combine a variety of arithmetical methods multiplication division addition subtraction. Some of these are generic questions about distance or weight; but others urge the student to devotion even as she works in a logical field "How many Hours Minutes and Seconds elapsed since the birth of Christ which is 1808 years ago assuming 365 days to a year". Some put Elizabeth in contact with the world of commerce and supply chain "The yearly export of Brandies from France is said to amount to 25000 tons. What is the value of this quantity at 5s6p per Gallon". Still others prepare her for the maintenance and management of a household or a business "If a servant's wages be 12.12 for 52 weeks how much is that a year" or "If 1728 Elegant wine glasses were bought for £65.2s how must they be sold per dozen or per glass to gain Ten Guineas by the sale of the whole".<br/><br/>A portion of seven pages near the center of the book offers a telling anomaly. While it continues in Elizabeth's neat hand these entries from January-February 1822 list goods purchased by community members from merchants several of whom are women. If these are a part of a school exercise they do not show the marks of it. Rather they appear to be Elizabeth making real-life notations keeping track of accounts for herself or someone else. In this sense the word problems she records and practices are being applied in her own life.<br/><br/>An exceptional document Elizabeth's notebook has research possibilities including but not limited to the history of education in the UK and trans-Atlantic comparisons the history of women's education the effects of class on girls' education mathematics approaches to teaching math to girls historical measurements women in business paleography and women's and gender studies. unknown books
1959List920New York: NAACP 1959. Poster on heavy card stock 13 x 10 inches. Some foxing to edges near fine condition overall. Near Fine. In 1959 to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the Brown vs. Board of Education decision the NAACP coordinated a group of celebrations in churches throughout the country to celebrate Freedom Sunday. The effort led by Reverend Edward J. Odom Jr. the NAACP church Secretary involved over 100 local chapters across the country. The celebrations on May 17th were a part of a larger coordinated campaign by the NAACP to register voters raise funds and engage in desegregation projects. Coverage in the mainstream press was scant with several short articles on the celebrations appearing in a range of states including Michigan Alabama and Indiana. <br /> <br /> We find no other record of this poster promoting the event which was produced in New York and can't confirm whether it was distributed to local chapters. Overall a visually striking poster commemorating both the landmark court decision and the role that the church would play in the Civil Rights movement in general. NAACP unknown books

Green marbled end papers. 76 pages. 36 entries handwritten from 1831-1899. Friendship albums became popular in America at this time especially among young women at female academies as the blossoming culture of sentimalism made its mark on personal relationships; young ladies and male friends alike would sign the albums to remember time spent together.<br/><br/>Album belonging to Elizabeth N. Patterson a young lady student with entries from several friends including this letter titled "To a School Mate": "How swiftly rolls the wheels of time. Four years have now elapsed since we parted from the school where we were taught from our childhood up; and I can say from my heart that they were as happy days as I have since experienced. Twenty one years have just closed upon me an dI take the opportunity as this--Album has been presented to me to record my grateful acknowledgements on its pages for the Blessing of health and the enjoyments of Parents to guide and direct me. The latter you have for past years been deprived. But may wisdom guide you and keep your path unobstructed through a long and happy life. If the care of family should be your lot you will recollect that the good government thereof leads to the comfort of communities and the welfare of states. Of every domestic circle woman is the centre. Hoe that scene of purest dearest joy home is the empire of woman. There she plans directs and performs the acknowledged source of dignity and felicity. Where female virtue is most pure female sense most improved female deportment most correct there is most propriety of social manners. The early years of childhood the most precious years of life and opening seasons are confined to woman's superintendence; she may therefore be presumed to lay the foundation of all the virtue and all the wisdom that enrich the . The wisdom of action is better than the wisdom of words; for in the moral sin the vegetable kingdom one may plant and another may water; but it is the light and warmth of living energy which like the brighter ray of heaven can alone give the increase." <br/><br/>Some call inspiration upon the writer such as the handwritten introduction to the album on the first page. "The sportive sulphs that couple the air unseen on wings that twiling weaves Around the opening rose repair and breath sweet incense on its leaves. With Sparkling cups of bubbles make They catch the ruddy beams of day And steal the rainbows sweetest shade their blushing favorite to array. They gather gems with sunbeams bright from floating cloud and falling showers They rob auroras locks of light To grace their own fair queen of flowers. Then take my flower and let its leaves Beside thy heart be cherished near While that friendly heart received the cordial wishes of friendship dear." <br/><br/>To Friend Elizabeth: "May all your years be spent in bliss and all your plans succeed Be but as happy as I wish and you'll be best indeed. While journeying through this vale of tears May peace and plenty crown your years Long may you live supremely blest Then die and be a Saviour's guest." Some reacted to the beautiful words written by peers in their own entries: "Now in my chamber by the dim light of a lamp I have reviewed those pages of thine Album whereunto so goodly a number of thy friends have let their hand a seal. There I beld what should always be seen in an Album wit eloquence learning and poetry". In very good condition. unknown books

15151NIGHTINGALE Florence. Collection of 32 pieces celebrating the first 50 years of nursing education which made nursing into the first respected medical profession for women. This collection includes a First Edition of Nightingale's influential guide Notes on Nursing 1859 and a handwritten Nightingale letter with wonderful content on her training school and hospital followed by many more tactile and visual pieces from the period ranging from approximately 1880-1930 when women entered the first official nursing programs to obtain theoretical education on disease prevention and antisepsis practical training in patient-centered care and certification and accolades for their excellent work. <br/><br/>While nursing was initially considered a volunteer service the founding of the Nightingale School of Nursing in 1862 caused rapid changes developing nursing into a true medical profession. Programs opened worldwide basing their training on the "Nightingale Principles" that emphasized patient-centered care through systemic cleanliness and stemming of infection in hospitals. The first time these important ideas were placed in print was in Nightingale's 1859 Notes on Nursing¸ a guide to patient care within the hospital and community which has remained relevant to the present day. A First Edition of Nightingale's Notes on Nursing published before even her training hospital was founded is included with this collection. A wonderful early letter on St. Thomas Hospital the site of Nightingale's first training school which she wrote in 1864 shortly after its founding is included here are well. In this letter Nightingale laments that "poor St. Thomas is in such a "fix & has so many bad friends that he ought to keep all his good ones." She is no doubt referring to the back-handed business deal that led to the hospital's moved to an abandoned music hall with sub-par hygiene for nine years starting shortly after her training program had found its home there. She discusses the immediate effects on her own students "I should never have placed my Probationers at St. Thomas but that Mr Whitfield & Mrs Wardroper were there.and when St Thomas' with its ample income has not contributed one farthing to but has profited by the Services of my Training School." Nightingale herself championed the creation of a new building and helped design it for modern standards of safety and hygiene. Among the first programs to model itself after Nightingale's example wertr the Spelman Nursing Program founded in 1886 and the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing in 1889. In order to distinguish nurses' uniforms from those of servants the programs instructed nurses to wear pocketed aprons for carrying tools and the schools provided ruffled caps that were easy for patients to identify in hospital hallways. An early vintage cap from circa 1880 is included in this collection.<br/><br/>By the turn of the century nursing education had aligned with university criteria and rigorous training became mandatory. In 1902 the U.S. and New Zealand initiated standard requirements for registered nurses to pass medical examinations; and by 1909 the University of Minnesota was the first to award a bachelor's degree in nursing. In 1919 the U.K. passed the Nursing Act requiring all nurses to join a registry; and in 1923 Yale University School of Nursing became the first autonomous college in the field. Such programs required women to take 2-3 years of medical coursework and pass certification exams. As is evident by this collection's handwritten nursing class notebook these women gained intensive knowledge about anatomy nutrition and disease. The notes in this collection include anatomical drawings as well as detailed information on "the practice of hygiene important in care of patient.how to prevent infection.uses to body of food and amount of food needed by individual patient" based on condition and diagnosis. It comes with a very rare 1911 "The Trained Nurse" booklet which contains educational matter on sexual and dental hygiene for patients to lower the risk of infection as well as information about a nurse's commitment to her training program. OCLC Worldcat lists no other known copies.<br/><br/>After completing classes nursing students apprenticed in their program's hospital until graduation. Instructors and administrators continued to value the use of uniforms and they made the clothing more functional for women whose daily tasks ranged from explaining doctors' diagnoses and treatments during consultations to the dressing of wounds. While uniforms evolved to become more streamlined they still bore visual signs of a student's experience and accomplishments. The nursing cap continued to be the most recognizable sign of entrance to the profession and getting her cap was a formal right of passage to a young nurse. Women only obtained the cap during a ceremony in which nurses from the program pinned the caps to the new nurses' heads. As students rose through the ranks and ultimately graduated they would receive a nursing lapel pin showing their entrance into a specialized field. This collection includes each of these important pieces: a white vintage nursing cap and lapel pin. In addition it contains a handwritten journal with beautiful colored handdrawn illustrations poems and diary entries by a nurse during her hospital training.<br/><br/>The women who graduated from nursing programs had met the mandatory benchmarks; indeed these women also often exceeded requirements and won honors for their work. Celebrating these landmark accomplishments this collection includes a set of 5 turn of the century graduation invitations an early commencement booklet with individual nursing graduation photos 3 early diplomas for women graduating from nursing programs 8 class photos and 7 individual female graduate portraits. The photos visually document the collective changes that these nurses' uniforms underwent across the decades as well as the women's pride in obtaining their degree. The collection also contains a "Champion of Head Nurses" trophy awarded to a young nurse for her leadership within her new hospital.<br/><br/>As this collection shows these women's educations led them to become proud and dedicated professionals excited to apply their knowledge in ways that made a difference.
