Female Education
Lettera sull'educazione delle fanciulle in alcune villaggi della Svizzera
Bergamo: Dalla Stamperia Mazzoleni 1830. 24mo. 130 x 85 mm 5 1/8 x 3 1/4 inches. 32 24 pp. Contemporary red morocco gilt-tooled borders and spine. A lovely copy. First edition. Superb copy of this seemingly unrecorded volume designed to raise funds for the maintenance of girls' schools north of Bergamo near the Swiss border. It is published by the 'Pia opera di Santa Dorotea' an Italian movement founded in 1815 to provide education for female orphans. The volume contains two separately paginated parts each in the form of a letter. The first describes in a cheerful style the work of the schools the directors and assistants all female and the flavor of the education the girls receive; all the girls learn to read and write and educated in virtues of piety and charity. Contrasting the petulance nascent malice and puerile nature of many girls with that of those in the care of the Santa Dorotea schools the author notes that 'the education of these peasant girls is a miracle.' The author describes some of the highlights of the school year including the feast of St. Tecla 'a spectacular event'. At the end of the first part there is an advertisement for the charity's publication Pia opera di Santa Dorotea Bergamo 1830. The second part consists of a dialogue between the author of the first letter and two potential donors to the charity who after more discussion about the administration of the schools agree to make a donation. Not in cited in NUC SBN or OCLC. 63. [Dalla Stamperia Mazzoleni] unknown books

Original printed wrappers 7.5 x 4.63 inches 36 12 pages.

Women's Studies / Education. Matheny Voris Awilda 1907 1997. Schell Leta Hazzard Designer and Illustrator
WEST DURHAM HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT'S GRADUATION BOOK 1923 - 1924
New York: C. R. Gibson & Company 1923. Green leather with gilt stamped lettering and decoration to front board a.e.g. Binding professionally and unobtrusively repaired with slight glue residue to front hinge. Light sunning and wear to binding; pages somewhat rippled from accomodating the extra material; occasional light soil and offsetting. VG. 60 ll printed. Assorted material affixed to leaves throughout; handful of laid-in material primarily letters. Few blank or partially filled pages; most pages filled with writing and/or pasted-in material. Printed green line drawings illustrations and ornaments by Leta Hazzard Schell throughout. 9-1/4" x 6". Inserted material varies in size. <br/><br/>The graduation album of Voris Awilda Matheny documenting her senior year at West Durham High School in Durham North Carolina. Named the "Poetess" in the hand-written list of class officers Voris seems to have been well-liked and active in school life as well as the "star pupil" of at least one teacher who writes admiringly in the Faculty notes that Voris "had the perseverance genius and gift of poetry to write 'Lohengrin' in rhyme." She was also passionately involved in the debate team providing accounts of several debates the associate editor of the student newspaper the Clarion and the Chaplain of the Adelphian Literary Society. Voris later attended Duke University. The album includes printed sections for messages from faculty and classmates the class "yell" and motto photographs invitations programs sporting events "Spreads and Entertainments" "Music and Dramatics" "Fun and Frolics" including a program for the 1923 "West Durham School Minstrel" which featured "Coontown Thirteen Club Song Hits" ethnic dances such as the "Gypsy Tambourine Drill" and "Cotton Picking Dance" and concluded with a finale of "Old Zip Coon" social events etc. The "Class History" "Class Prophecy" and "Class Poem" were written by the students and provide insight into the composition of the class and via the "Class Prophecy" -- written by "Piggie" White in the form of a fictional 1935 newspaper about the students -- the student's notions about the lives ahead of them. Of particular note is a section of the Prophecy entitled "Women Invade Politics" in which Miss Minnie Holt is a lawyer who has never lost a case; Miss Rhoda Kelley is "the first woman president of the U.S." and who "never feels tremors on addressing Congress for she once debated at Chapel Hill"; and Miss Virgie Reese is a famed public speaker who stumped for Miss Kelley and is "rumored.to shortly use these unusual powers of speech to get herself at the head of the Klux-Klan." Pasted-in material includes printed programs student calling cards a leaf of the Clarion envelopes with manuscript letters and invitations folded inside assorted other notes and cards 4 small photographs of individual students botanical material napkins etc. Laid in are a wedding invitation a card containing manuscript debate notes and two letters sent to one Harry G. Rosenbluh from Julius Nelson regarding a "typewriting art" contest and including two sheets of sample designs; it is unclear what relation Mr. Rosenbluh or Mr. Nelson may have to Ms. Matheny if any. An unusually well-rounded graduation book providing insight into the life and plans of students particularly female students in the South during the interwar period. C. R.

Civil War / Confederacy / Education. Hinton Presley Lewellyn Jr. Student
CIVIL WAR - ERA MANUSCRIPT NOTEBOOK1858 - 1892. Containing Unrelated Writings by Several Members of the Hinton Family of Mecklenburg Virginia
Mecklenburg VA 1892. Sewn gatherings disbound with remanants of perished leather spine. Wear and soiling throughout; some chips occasionally causing minimal textual loss; last leaf quite ragged to inner margin significantly affecting final third of text. Writing in general legible and neat. Good condition withal. 29 leaves of lined wove paper including 4 half-leaves. Lacking first leaf pp 1 - 2 of lecture notes; 4 stubs. Inconsistently hand-numbered throughout.Manuscript notes in ink and/or pencil to recto and verso of leaves with varying amounts of writing per pg. ~1500 words. Some intratextual hand-drawn illustrations and graphs to lecture notes. 11-1/2" x 7-1/2" <br/><br/>A notebook that appears to have been intended for lecture notes kept by Presley Llewellyn Hinton Jr. during a science class at Randolph-Macon College from 1858 - 59 but that was employed for several different purposes by other members of his family during the same period and throughout the Civil War. The Hintons were slaveholders owning at least 13 slaves according to the 1860 slave schedule and longtime prominent members of the community. The lecture notes which comprise hand-numbered pp 3 - 30 and 51 - 55 are from lectures taught by B. Puryear Professor of Chemistry and Natural Philosophy; subjects covered include fairly introductory material regarding dew evaporation electricity elements of chemistry hydrogen and nitrogen gas carbon etc. and the like. Following the first section of lecture notes three pages by one of the Hinton parents we speculate Mrs. Hinton detail Presley’s service in the Confederate Army Company A 3rd Virginia Cavalry as well as that of his brother William from 1861 - 63 largely their leave-taking and visits home: “My Son William Emmet Hinton joind the Confederate Army and left home on the 14th day May 1861 to join his company Mecklinburg Cavalry at Lockets Store near Lombardy Grove. Many relatives and friends met . . . to take leave of their dear sons relations & friends who consented with cheerfulness to leave their quiet and happy homes to battle against our enemy the Yankee who are worse than Indian savages Yea to go through all the hardships privations difficulties and attending a camp life. . . . My Son Presley Lewellyn Hinton joind the Confederate Army and left home on the 26th day May 1861 . . . He would have gone on with his brother William but he was not prepared as he had just returned from the University of Virginia . . .” Approximately 15 remaining pages interrupted by the last section of Presley’s lecture notes are filled with a detailed account record of tuition charged for teaching the daughters and some sons of local families which we speculate was kept by the boys’ sister primarily because of the type of lessons taught. These included piano lessons worsted work and samplers grammar arithmetic geography the history of England and philosophy; fees for ink copy books and other supplies are also included. Another account record follows for bonds of some sort in the same hand as other and a love letter from Presley to a Miss Annie fills both recto and verso of the final leaf. Interspersed with these and sometimes written over top in pencil are the youthful scribblings and pencilled math work of James H. Palmer also of Mecklinberg dated 1892; he appears to have used the manuscript for scrap paper. All in all a uniquely faceted manuscript illustrating many aspects of the life of one Virginia family during the Civil War as well as the paper shortages that likely occasioned such thrift. hardcover books
