‎Amsterdam : Desbordes, 1701. L'EXEMPLAIRE DE LA SCANDALEUSE MADEMOISELLE DE CHAROLAIS AU CHÂTEAU D'ATHIS, AYANT SUBI LE COURROUX DE LA RÉVOLUTION‎

‎In-12° (140 x 76 mm), [1] f. - 360 pp., [6] ff. - [1] pl., veau havane, dos lisse orné, armoiries au centre des plats avec mention de lieu en partie haute sur le plat supérieur, filet sur les coupes, tranches rouges (reliure de l'époque). Ce périodique fut le premier à s'être donné pour objectif d'analyser et de rendre compte au public (auparavant, l'échange d'informations et d'appréciations se faisait dans le cercle étroit des intellectuels) des éditions contemporaines publiées en Europe (France et Hollande surtout, mais aussi Angleterre, Suède, Allemagne, Italie, etc.) concernant les sujets les plus intéressants du monde d'avant les Lumières tels que la philosophie cartésienne, les religions, les voyages, les inventions et les progrès des sciences physiques et mathématiques et de la médecine, et - quoique dans une moindre mesure - les oeuvres historiques et littéraires. La parution fut successivement dirigés par Bayle (mars 1684-février 1687), Daniel de Larroque et Jean Le Clerc (mars-août 1687), Jean Barrin (septembre 1687-avril 1689), Jacques Bernard (janvier 1699-décembre 1710, janvier 1716-avril 1718), et Jean Le Clerc (mai-juin 1718). Provenance : Rare provenance pour cet exemplaire dont les attributs nobiliaires, fleurs de lys et couronne, furent vraisemblablement grattés à la Révolution. Louise-Anne de Bourbon-Condé (1695-1758), au château d'Athis-sur-Orge (Athis-Mons ce jour), avec armes sur les plats et inscription " Atis " sur le plat supérieur. Elle fut d'abord titrée Mademoiselle de Charolais, mais en l'absence de fille du duc d'Orléans, elle porta le titre de " Mademoiselle " jusqu'en 1726, puis le perdit et le reprit en 1728 à la mort de Louise Madeleine d'Orléans. Un temps pressentie pour épouser son cousin le prince des Dombes, fils du Duc du Maine, elle refusa, de même qu'un éventuel mariage avec le duc d'Orléans, quoique la duchesse d'Orléans jugeât cette alliance trop peu prestigieuse. Mademoiselle préféra rester célibataire et mener une vie libre, voire passablement dissolue, le château de la Muette devenant un lieu de fêtes galantes et de débauche. Parmi ses nombreux amants, elle fut la maîtresse du duc de Richelieu dans la période suivant la conspiration de Cellemare, dans laquelle le duc avait été impliqué, tout comme sa tante la duchesse du Maine. Elle aimait à recevoir ses amants nue, sous un vêtement de moine cordelier, habit qu'elle pouvait ôter plus rapidement qu'une robe de cour. Peu soucieuse du scandale, mais désireuse de jouer un rôle politique, elle détourna son cousin Louis XV - de quinze ans son cadet - de ses devoirs conjugaux et chercha à le pourvoir en maîtresses, si bien que le compte d'Argenson l'appela " la maquerelle royale ". C'est notamment, selon toute vraisemblance, par son entremise que la comtesse de Mailly, femme effacée, devient la première maîtresse puis première favorite de Louis XV. En 1740, elle vendit la terre de Vallery où tous les Condé avaient été inhumés. Elle acheta le château d'Athis à Athis-Mons (Essonne) le 6 février 1743 à Suzanne-Andrée de La Brousse, soeur de Thibaud-Étienne de La Brousse. Elle fit abattre la ferme seigneuriale pour installer la cour d'honneur et remanier le parc à la française. Bibliographie : Quentin-Beauchard II, 432-433 indique ne pouvoir distinguer les volumes des 3 filles de Louis III car tous portent les mêmes armes. Il cite seulement 5 exemplaires qu'il attribuerait à Madame de Clermont. Quelques frottements, coiffe inférieure arasée. Fleurs de lys et couronnes grattées.‎

‎Bertha von Hillern Pioneering Woman Athlete and Feminist Writes a Vivid Firsthand Account of a Public Endurance-Walking Exhibition in Her Hand‎

‎1877. Bertha von Hillern. Autograph Letter Signed Describing a Pedestrienne Performance in Maine. Four-page autograph letter signed written in Bucksport Maine and dated August 12 1877 from a woman identified as Caitlin to her parents. The letter provides a vivid firsthand account of a public endurance-walking exhibition by Bertha von Hillern one of the most celebrated pedestriennes of the late nineteenth century and a pioneering figure in women's athletic and feminist history. The pedestriennes-now largely forgotten-were among America's first female sports superstars drawing large paying crowds to theatrical endurance contests staged in repurposed halls and theaters. At their height leading pedestriennes earned more in a single week than many Americans made in a year were widely covered in newspapers sold photographic likenesses influenced women's fashion and appeared nationally as celebrities. Their feats challenged prevailing assumptions about women's physical limits and helped reshape public attitudes toward women's independence endurance and public presence.<br /> <br /> The letter situates von Hillern within this broader cultural phenomenon while recording the details of a specific performance witnessed by the writer. Von Hillern a German immigrant from a military family was widely regarded as the first great feminist pedestrienne and performed at least twenty-five solo exhibitions across thirteen cities. In Boston alone approximately 10000 spectators reportedly paid fifty cents each to watch her walk continuously at Music Hall and the Washington Post described her as "one of the wonders of the nineteenth century." Writing from Maine the correspondent recounts attending the exhibition at City Hall noting both the social experience and the athletic spectacle: "in the evening we went to City Hall to see Miss Bertha Von Hillern walk. Perhaps you have seen an account of her in the Boston papers. She is great walkist. She walked 88 miles in 26 hours without resting more than twenty minutes at a time." The letter continues with precise observational detail describing the sawdust-covered track the number of laps required per mile and the nonstop duration of the event which began Friday evening and concluded late Saturday night.<br /> <br /> The writer further conveys the charged atmosphere surrounding the performance emphasizing its communal excitement and theatricality: "Chanlers band furnished music through the whole walk. It was nice music and such excitement and such cheering & waving of handkerchiefs and shouting every time she would make a mile." As a primary document the letter captures not only von Hillern's physical achievement but also the emotional and social intensity of pedestrienne culture at its peak. For institutional collections the letter is an exceptional piece of early feminist Americana offering rare eyewitness testimony to a moment when women's athletic endurance became a public spectacle capable of reshaping gender norms and laying cultural groundwork for modern sports the revival of the Olympic movement and the suffrage-era reimagining of women's capabilities. Condition: The letter shows original folds and age-related toning but remains very readable throughout with no loss of text. Overall condition: Very Good. unknown‎
