‎A Few Thoughts on the Powers and Duties of Woman Two Lectures‎

‎Syracuse: Hall Mills and Company 1853. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. 12mo period binding of half brown calf and paper-covered boards very good light wear and rubbing contents a bit tanned and foxed throughout 1878 pencil gift inscription on flyleaf bookseller's old tag on pastedown J. T. Heald Bookbinder Wilmington DE. 141 pp. First printings are rare in the trade and at auction. The work consists of two lectures Mann delivered in 1853 and 1854 in which he explores women's role in society arguing for the importance of education for women and their unique capacity to shape the moral character of those around them. From what we can gather from online sources in these lectures Mann who was the leading early 19th-century proponent of public school education expresses a degree of ambivalence about women's social roles and the relations between men and women. Rather than positing two entirely separate "spheres" for the sexes Mann reframed the traditional "woman's sphere" as a hemisphere - one half of a single shared orb of human interaction - emphasizing that each sex is necessary as the complement of the other. Consistent with his broader educational philosophy Mann believed women were particularly well suited to teaching and to the moral elevation of society and the lectures advocate giving women access to quality education so they can fulfill that role. He also argued that women should be permitted to participate in public life and be accorded the same legal rights as men - though a contemporary feminist critic Ernestine Rose sharply challenged his lectures accusing him of "pandering to prejudiced public opinion" by confining woman's greatest duty to the cradle and to educating children. Overall the work sits in interesting tension: progressive in its call for women's education and rights yet still tethered to 19th-century notions of feminine moral influence and domestic purpose.

‎AMERICAN REVOLUTION EDUCATION An Oration Delivered at Dedham July 4th 1823 on the Forty-Seventh Anniversary of American Independence‎

‎Dedham: H. & W. H. Mann 1823. First Edition. Sewn binding. Good . Large octavo 25pp. Ex-library with two stamps to the title page and a few stray pencil markings else clean. Side-sewing intact but extra stab holes and missing wrappers suggest that it was removed at some point from a bound volume of other works. Marginal tear to pp. 3-4 just barely approaches text else with shallower chips and tears to extremities. Untrimmed. Minimal foxing; a good or better example. Horace Mann's first publication which he printed at his own expense. A passionate and upbeat celebration of America's first 47 years which looks forward to the fruits of westward expansion. Published when Mann was a young lawyer; in fact the same year that he was admitted to the Massachusetts bar. As such it precedes his earliest writings on education--the subject for which he is best remembered--by more than a decade. Missed by his early bibliographers. <br /> <br /> Scarce in the trade. OCLC records perhaps a dozen holdings distinctly concentrated in Massachusetts. Sabin only records a posthumous reprint as part of a collected edition. American Imprints 13120. H. & W. H. Mann unknown‎

‎DEDICATION OF ANTIOCH COLLEGE AND INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF ITS PRESIDENT HON. HORACE MANN; WITH OTHER PROCEEDINGS.‎

‎A.S. Dean Yellow Springs Ohio; Crosby & Nichols Boston: 1854. 1854 144 p. 12mo. Lightly foxed. Original flexible cloth wraps lettered in gold and decorated in blind. Manuscript inscription "Rev. Abiel Abbot D.D. with the best love of his nephew A. A. Livermore." Horace Mann politician and educator came from humble beginnings but by his own exertions he was graduated at Brown in 1819. After his graduation he was tutor in Latin and Greek in Brown entered the Litchfield Connecticut law-school in 1821 and in 1823 was admitted to the bar opening an office in Dedham Massachusetts. He was elected to the legislature in 1827 and was active in the interests of education public charities and laws for the suppression of intemperance and lotteries. He established the State lunatic asylum at Worcester and in 1833 was chairman of its board of trustees. He continued to be returned to the legislature as representative from Dedham till his removal to Boston in 1833 when he entered into partnership with Edward G. Boring. In the practice of his profession he adopted the principle never to take the unjust side of any cause and he is said to have gained four fifths of the cases in which he was engaged the influence that he exerted over the juries being due in a great measure to the confidence that all felt in his honesty of purpose. He was elected to the State Senate from Boston in 1833 was its President 1836-7. From 1837 to 1848 he was Secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education. In the spring of 1848 he was elected to the U.S. Congress as a Whig to fill the vacancy caused by the death of John Quincy Adams. His first speech in that body was in advocacy of its right and duty to exclude slavery from the territories. In 1850 he was engaged in a controversy with Daniel Webster in regard to the extension of slavery and the fugitive-slave law. Mann was defeated by a single vote at the ensuing nominating convention by Mr. Webster's supporters; but on appealing to the people as an Independent Anti-Slavery candidate he was re-elected serving from 1848 to 1853. In September 1852 he was nominated for Governor of Massachusetts by the Free-Soil Party and the same day was chosen President of Antioch College. Failing in the election for governor he accepted the Presidency of the college in which he continued until his death. He carried that institution through pecuniary and other difficulties and satisfied himself of the practicality of co-education. The inscriptions involve: Abiel Abbot 1765-1859 a famous New England clergyman; and Abiel Abbot Livermore also a famed New England clergyman educator and author. FIRST EDITION. Thomson 773.
