‎(VICTORIAN POPULAR EDUCATION AND REFORM). (PICKERING IMPRINT). [CORNWALLIS, CAROLINE FRANCES and others]‎

‎A COMPLETE SET OF THE SMALL BOOKS ON GREAT SUBJECTS SERIES‎

‎London: William Pickering and John W. Parker and Son 1843-57. Second Edition of volumes I III V VI VIII XI XV XVII. Third Edition of volume II. FIRST EDITIONS of the other 13 volumes. 170 x 103 mm. 6 3/4 x 4 1/8". 22 volumes bound as 13. <br/> Pleasing contemporary calf by Leighton stamp-signed on verso of front flyleaf covers framed with a double blind rule raised bands spine compartments with a single gilt sun tool russet morocco labels lettered in gilt all edges sprinkled. First volume with one plate depicting the brain and one illustration in the text depicting the brains of different animals.<br /> Final volume with an ad for the complete series by John W. Parker. A few light scratches scuffs and spots to leather each volume with offset from ribbon page marker other trivial defects but a fine and attractive set--extraordinarily fresh and clean internally in bindings essentially without wear.<br/> <br/> Containing a rarely seen complete run of 22 separate works in 13 volumes this attractive set represents the joint efforts of a female Victorian polymath and major publisher William Pickering to introduce the general public to a very wide range of subjects partly to contribute to general popular education and partly to alert the public to the need for reform. Caroline Cornwallis 1786-1858 was a writer scholar and feminist activist whose life-long self-directed course of study led her to explore subjects as diverse as mineralogy theology Tuscan law and the Ancient Egyptian language. In 1842 the first work in the "Small Books on Great Subjects" series appeared authored anonymously by Cornwallis she is named only as "A Pariah" and the editorship of the series is credited to "A Few Well-Wishers to Knowledge". Along with initiating and editing the series Cornwallis composed all but four of the books herself the second and third numbers were written by John Barlow #15 by Wilhelm von Humboldt and #16 by David Power. The works cover philosophy psychology chemistry Greek philosophy Christian history and theology biology law grammar geology politics and more and proved to be a great success in Britain and America. Some of the volumes are histories of general interest "A Brief View of Greek Philosophy up to the Age of Pericles" and "Christian Sects in the Nineteenth Century"; others are of significant scientific content "The Connection Between Physiology and Intellectual Philosophy" and "On Man’s Power Over Himself to Prevent or Control Insanity; still others are strongly reformist in thrust "On the Principles of Criminal Law" decrying the harshness of punitive Victorian laws and "On the Philosophy of Ragged Schools" dealing with the pressing issue of educating London's poor. Initially "Small Books on Great Subjects" was published by William Pickering but upon his 1853 bankruptcy John W. Parker took over the series. Stray volumes of this series are readily available but complete sets especially in the condition seen here are much more difficult to find. William Pickering (and John W. Parker and Son) unknown‎

‎1832 Education Annual Report‎

‎1832 Annual Report of the the American Education Society‎

‎1832. Sixteenth Annual Report of the Directors of the American Education Society Presented at the Annual Meeting Boston 1832. Boston: Printed for the Society by Perkins & Marvin 1832. Octavo. This Sixteenth Annual Report of the American Education Society documents the activities finances and ideological priorities of one of the most influential early nineteenth-century Protestant educational reform organizations in the United States. Founded in 1815 the Society was central to the effort to train and place "indigent but pious" young men into the Protestant ministry reflecting the close relationship between education religion and moral reform in the antebellum period. The 1832 report presented at the Society's annual meeting in Boston offers contemporary insight into institutional governance donor networks and the expansion of theological education during a period of rapid national growth and religious revival.<br /> <br /> The report situates the American Education Society within the broader context of early American benevolent and missionary organizations which sought to shape national character through education grounded in evangelical Protestant values. Annual reports such as this were intended not only as administrative records but also as persuasive documents designed to demonstrate accountability to subscribers while promoting continued financial and moral support. As such the volume serves as a primary source for the study of early American educational philanthropy religious reform movements and the institutional structures that underpinned nineteenth-century clerical training and social influence. <br /> Condition: Disbound lacking original wrappers. Moderate edge wear text complete and legible. unknown‎

‎19 century Women Education Album with handwritten poems and inscriptions from many contributors around 1827 New York. 90 pages. 8 x 5 in. 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."

‎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
