1873. Edward Freeman. Autograph Letter Signed. April 2 1873 Somerleaze Wells Somerset England. 4 pages on a single sheet folded. To “My Dear Lord†possibly a Bishop About a teacher who is too talented to be a governess whose name he puts forward as a candidate for headmistress of a new girls’ school.<br /> <br /> Stating in part “I see your name as a “Patron of the new Girls School to be set up at Manchester.†I do not know whether that word is to be taken in the ecclesiastical sense as employing that you have a voice in disposing of offices in it. If so I would venture to recommend a candidate for the place of Head Mistress which I hear that the Committee are going about to fill one whom I am sure you will find it a great gain to put at the head of the new institution. This is Miss Macarthur who has been governess in my house for nearly five years and who is just now leaving us because all my daughters are now grown up. She is in correspondence with Miss Vernon to whom Mrs. Kitchener first spoke of her and she has asked me to say what I can for her to any of the Committee. I think the best witness of my opinion of her is that I have set her to write one of my series of small histories a History of Scotland which I hope will soon be out. She is a woman of powers far above the common and I can witness that she has practiced them well in the only two departments of which I am able to judge namely those of History and language. She is really strong in both; for though she does not actually understand Latin and Greek she knows all about them their relation to French English etc. I am sure she would do credit to the place. We are most anxious to find some post for her more independent than that of a private governess…â€<br /> <br /> Unfortunately Miss Macarthur was not appointed; there being far better qualified candidates competing for this sought after position. She was Margaret A.R. Macarthur born in Scotland in 1842 and was the author of ‘History of Scotland’ in Freeman’s Historical Course for Schools. It would be interesting to find out what happened to her. In fine condition. unknown

Newton—Vicar of St. michael’s Mission Schools Lant Street writes to a donor about the work of the Ragged schools. Verso is a broadside for “The Lant Street Ragged Schools for Boys and Girls Borough Southwark.†Reading in part “These Ragged Schools are placed in the midst of the poorest populationin Southwark in are the largest with about 850 attendances daily and the most important in South London…†Attendance shows girls far outnumbered boys in the school “Boys in the Lower School Room…167 Girls in the Upper School Room…243…Afternoon Boys…162 Girls…233. The attendants at the Evening School in which more grown persons of both sexes are taught to read and write number about…65.†He has made notes in his hand on the broadside portion in part “Ragged Schools male & female.†At the time that this description is being written no copies are recorded in American institutions. OCLC search results are at best an estimate and can vary over time. This rare handbook is considerably more interesting for the first-hand manuscript content regarding the coeducational activities of the school. unknown

Hardback. New. We often stay stuck with the level of confidence we have because we implicitly regard being confident as a matter of slightly freakish and unrepeatable good luck. In fact as this essay charmingly shows the opposite is true. Confidence is a skill based on a set of ideas about our place in the world - and its secrets can quietly be learnt. hardcover
