Dyhouse Carol.
GIRLS GROWING UP IN LATE VICTORIAN AND EDWARDIAN ENGLAND.
London: Routledge & Kegan Paul 1981. 224 pp 8vo 8 11/16" H. "Girls learn about 'femininity' from childhood onwards first through their relationships with the family and later from their teachers and peers. Using sources which vary from diaries to Inspector's reports Carol Dyhouse studies the socialization of middle- and working-class girls in late-Victorian and early-Edwardian England. She traces the ways in which schooling at all social levels at this time tended to reinforce lessons in the sexual division of labour and patterns of authority between men and women which girls had already learned at home. In Elementary Schools social anxieties about 'National Efficiency' high infant-mortality figures and a declining birth-rate helped to shape the curriculum offered to working-class girls through the period 1870-1920. The author then focuses on the emergence of a social psychology of adolescent girlhood in the early-twentieth century with its educational implications. Finally she examines the relationship between feminism and girls' education through the period studied." Small faint area of soiling on front board. Dust jacket has light edge wrinkling - mainly at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds fading to spine color - lettering very legible - blank label on front flap minor rubbing. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good-. Routledge & Kegan Paul Hardcover

E. KING
Old Times Re-visited in the Borough and Parish of Lymington Hants. Second Edition. FROM THE LIBRARY OF PROFESSOR BILES OF THE 'TITANIC' ENQUIRY
Simpkin Marshall Hamilton Kent & Co. 1900. Roy. 8vo. Second and Best Edition with portrait frontispiece title in red and black and 21 plates one double-page; original buckram gilt gilt back bevelled edges uncut covers lightly age-marked else a very good internally spotless copy. King's work first published in 1879 immediately established itself as the standard popular reference on the ancient New Forest town; local interest generated the inevitable additions and corrections but the planned second edition incorporating the numerous addenda was deferred by the author's death. This best edition compiled and published by the author's son from his father's meticulous notes benefits from much new material and many fresh illustrations. This copy was formerly in the library of Professor Sir J H Biles the eminent naval architect of 'Titanic' Enquiry fame and bears his elegant blind-embossed art nouveau bookplate with press-mark in manuscript on front paste-down. John Harvard Biles 1854-1933 was apprenticed at Portsmouth Dockyard studied at the Royal School of Naval Architecture and joined the Admiralty in 1877. His talents were quickly recognised and in 1880 at the age of only 26 he was appointed chief designer to the major shipbuilder J&G Thomson on Clydebank where he created the revolutionary designs for the 'City of Paris' and 'City of New York'. In 1883 he left to join the foundling consultancy established by Sir Edward Reed where he quickly became a driving force the consultancy continues to the present day as Sir J H Biles & Co. In 1891 he was awarded the Chair of Naval Architecture at Glasgow University then perhaps the most prestigious such appointment in the world where he devoted himself to teaching and consultancy on a world-wide scale. IN VIEW OF HIS EMINENCE IN THE FIELD OF SHIP DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROFESSOR BILES WAS AN ASSESSOR IN THE ENQUIRY INTO THE LOSS OF RMS 'TITANIC' AND SUBSEQUENTLY HE SERVED ON THE BOARD OF TRADE ENQUIRY INTO LIFEBOATS AND LIFE-SAVING APPLIANCES WHICH AROSE AS A RESULT OF THE TITANIC LOSS. For his services to the 'Titanic' Enquiry and naval architecture in general Biles was knighted in 1913 Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent & Co., hardcover
