(Pitman, Benn).
HISTORY OF SHORT HAND. Edited and Engraved by Benn Pitman.
pp. 66, (14) [Short Hand Alphabets], (8) [Benn Pitman's Descriptive Catalogue]. Fully engraved. Title page elaborately decorated with a border of lilies. Text ruled in black throughout. Inked ownership of C. A. Hughes on front paste down. All edges marbled. 180mm. Original full cloth binding lettered in gold and embossed in blind. Hardbound. Very good. English born Benn Pitman (1822-1910), assisted his brother Isaac in perfecting the latter's system of shorthand phonography (1837). From 1843 till 1852 he lectured on the system throughout Great Britain, and had a large share in compiling his brother's text-books. At Isaac's request he came to the United States in January, 1853, to give instruction in phonography, and settled at Cincinnati. In 1855 he discovered the process of producing relief copper-plates of engraved work by the galvanic process known as electrotypes, for which he was awarded a silver medal by the Cincinnati Mechanics' Institute. The following year he succeeded, in connection with Dr. J. B. Burns, in producing stereotype plates by the gelatine process in photo-engraving. From 1865 to 1867 he acted as the official stenographer during the trials of the assassin, of President Lincoln, the "Sons of Liberty," the Ku-Klux Klan, and other similar government prosecutions. He also edited and compiled the printed reports of these trials. In 1873 he abandoned reporting and became connected with the school of design, now the art academy, of the University of Cincinnati. His object was to secure the development of American decorative art and to open up a new profession for women. SHORTHAND x2

(xt) Cohen, S. I [Shalom ben Jacob]. Translated from Hebrew to English by Joshua van Oven.
SHORSHEI EMUNAH. ELEMENTS OF FAITH FOR THE USE OF JEWISH YOUTH OF BOTH SEXES
5575 (1815) 1st edition. Later Paper Wrappers, 8vo, 10, 10, 2, 2, 56, 56, [1], 6 pages [143 pages total]. Includes the often missing 6-page list of subscribers. The Introduction states that the book was undertaken at the behest of the Rabbi of the Aschkenazic community of London, Solomon Hirschell, together with Raphael di Meldola, Rabbi of the Sephardic community. It also includes the approbation of di Meldola as well as that of Rabbi Solomon ben Zevi Hirsch, the purpose of the work being to protect Jewish children from the inroads of Christian missionaries.The author indicates that the lack of understanding of Judaism among youth is the principle reason why he composed this work. Yet it was intended not just for Jews: Prof. David Ruderman has noted that, "except for its denunciation of Christian missionaries, Cohen's catechism with its English translation, seems to be nothing more than an innocent, uncontroversial presentation of the Jewish faith meant for both Jewish and Christian eyes" (D. B. Ruderman, Jewish Enlightenment in an English Key: Anglo-Jewry's Construction of Modern Jewish Thought, p. 250). Cohen's work was indeed shared with American non-Jews. The Jewish merchant David Isaacs, in his correspondence with Thomas Jefferson, sent the President a copy of the book [see University of Virginia exhibit (2001), To Seek the Peace of the City: Early Jewish Settlement in Charlottesville]. In 1818 Rebecca Gratz offered a copy to her friend Maria Fenno Hoffman, wife of the Attorney General of New York, Ogden Hoffman [see E. Wolf & M. Whiteman, The History of the Jews of Philadelphia, p. 304]. Jacob Marcus Rader lists Cohen's work as one of the Jewish educational books available to Rebecca Gratz when she began operating her Sunday School in Philadelphia [see United States Jewry, 1776-1985, 1-2, p. 393]. A review of this book was printed by Rabbi Yom Tov Benet in his book Tene Bekorim (1767). Shalom ben Jacob Cohen (17721845) himself was a Hebrew writer, poet, and editor. Born in Mezhirech, Poland, he studied German and read the new Hebrew literature, particularly Ha-Me'assef. His first book, Mishlei Agur (1799), was a collection of Hebrew fables in rhyme, with German translation, aimed at teaching Jewish children simple and clear Hebrew. Cohen went to Berlin in 1789 and taught in the Hinnukh Ne'arim school and in private homes. After the publication of several works he renewed the publication of Ha-Me'assef and served as its editor (180911). In 1813 Cohen left Germany, spent a short period in Amsterdam, and moved to London where he tried unsuccessfully to establish a Jewish school. From London, Cohen moved to Hamburg (1816 or 1817), where he spent three controversy-laden years. In a posthumously published poem he attacked the hypocrisy of the "reformists" for their lack of religious belief and national feelings and considered the establishment of the Reform temple in Hamburg an act of blasphemy. However, he refrained from public intervention on this controversy. In 1820 Cohen was invited by Anton Schmid to serve as head proofreader in the Hebrew section of his printing press in Vienna where he remained for 16 years. In 1821 Cohen established the annual Bikkurei ha-Ittim, three issues of which appeared under his editorship. In 1834 he published his poetic work, Nir David, a description of the life of King David, one of the first romantic works in Hebrew literature. In 1836 Cohen returned to Hamburg, where he lived until his death. His last extensive work was Kore ha-Dorot, a history of the Jewish people (1838). His other works include: Mattaei Kedem al Admat Zafon (1807), poetry; Amal ve-Tirzah (1812), an allegorical and utopian drama, a sequel to M.H. Luzzatto's La-Yesharim Tehillah; and Ketav Yosher (1820), a literary miscellany. Roth, Magna Bibliotheca Anglo-Judaica, p. 428, no. 2. Vinograd London 205. Roest 283.

Original boards. 12 poems and writings to a young woman named Eliza. Several are dated 1827 New York. Poetry of friendship addressed to the owner: "Eliza thou hast vex'd me quite; for oh! that pen and ink! How couldst thou ask me for to write Til not my meat and drink-May be that I am half posess'd! But saying as I think The art of writing I detest-Confound the pen and ink!- I must not write I hate to write I cannot-will not-what! O! Yes sweet Miss For one sweet Kiss I'll write without one blot." Friendship albums were popular at this time amongst young women particularly those finishing their time at a female academy and preparing to leave their school friends. Also includes poetry "On Happiness and Contentment" "On the Beauties of Nature" "On the Mind" "On Man." The first entry is a handwritten essay "On Woman" that details the many benefits of women's influence on men. "Of all the manifold blessings bestowed upon man by his omniscient Creator tending to alleviate the miseries destined for him to undergo during his probationary existence here and the better to prepare him for eternal happiness hereafter none can be more highly estimable than those derived from the society of woman. By her genial influence the heart of man naturally prone to yield to the dictates of error is almost imperceptibly led into the paths of refinement where real pleasures only can exist and participates with her in the purer and more delightful affections fo the soul."

Antique Needlepoint Sampler 1834
Girls' Education Original vintage cross-stitch sampler. Limington Maine. 1834. 11.5" x 15" in. Alphabet cross-stitched in capital and lower case letters with decorative embroidered border and information on maker stitched at bottom: "Elizabeth G. Brackett Limington Maine. Aged 10. in 1834". 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. Capital alphabet "&" and numbers 1 through 7 in black thread. Capital alphabet and 8 9 and 0 in white thread. Lower case alphabet in gray; and student's name and date in light green. Toned. Few threads frayed at center right edge. Very good. unknown books

19 cent Women Education
Women's First Education Movement in America: Denmark Academy Catalog
Denmark Academy Catalog 1876-1877. Denmark Iowa. Pamphlet /Volume 8 of 17: Founded in 1843. Denmark Academy was coeducational from its inception. At first a small local school it reopened in in 1852 with a new building and began to attract students from further reaches. The first graduating class consisted of only 2 students both female. One was Emma Cooper who went on to serve as "Lady Principal." Very rare with no copies of this program in any institution or library as per OCLC Worldcat.<br/><br/>Women's colleges proliferated in the mid- to late- 19th century to fill the void created by their exclusion from most institutions of higher education. The prevailing notion that women were too delicate for a rigorous academic education was openly challenged when Elizabeth Cady Stanton spoke at the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 "Man's intellectual superiority cannot be a question until woman has had a fair trial.When we shall have had our colleges our professions our trades for a century a comparison then may be justly instituted." Young women were quick to step up to the challenge; as quickly as female colleges opened they filled up. This document dates from 5 years before Seneca Falls. unknown books
