Alphabet cross-stitched in capital and lower case letters with decorative embroidered border and information on maker stitched at bottom: "Mary Ruffle October 25 1815 Aged 9". Samplers were valuable parts of girls' education from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries as it demonstrated both their skill in needlepoint and their achievements in literacy. From the 1800s the very first schools and academies for young women in America had their students create needlepoint pieces with decorative motifs such as verses or the entire alphabet being stitched on the sampler. The parents of these young women proudly displayed their embroideries as showpieces of their daughter's talent and status. In recent years these samplers have become important in museum collections as representations of early American female education. Alphabet "&" numbers 1 through 8 and motif of trees vines flowers and a crown in navy orange pink dark green brown and white thread. C. Toned. Few threads frayed. Very good. unknown books

The date is conjectured from the R. Akenhead junior imprint which surfaces briefly in two other works dated 1750.<br/>A curious note on the verso of the dedication explains the lack of a subscriber's list. Apparently most of the "generous Encouragers" did not want to have their names included so "no List is printed lest Offence might be given."<br/><br/>The author observes: "we are taught only our Mother-Tongue or perhaps French which is now very fashionable and almost as familiar amongst Women of Quality as Men; whereas the other Sex by means of a more extensive Education to the Knowledge of the Roman and Greek Languages have a vaster Field for their Imaginations to rove in and their Capacities thereby enlarged."<br/><br/>RARE.

In 1944 further strides were made when the Navy commissioned the first ever African-Americans officers.
