Pourquoi la France n'a pas Trouvé d'Hommes Supérieurs au Moment du Peril

1871réf. 47582Rome: Forzani et C. 1871. First Edition. Folio 33cm.; publisher's tan printed card wrappers; 18pp. Wrapper lightly soiled faint vertical creasing a few tiny chips to spine ele Very Good internally fresh and fine save the crease. Polemical attack on the state of the French university system written in March 1871 two months after the end of the disastrous for the French Franco-Prussian War. As Pasteur argues whereas in Germany universities proliferated across the country France "stymied by revolution was always occupied with the sterile search for a better form of government giving only distracted attention to her institutions of higher learning" p. 9 our translation. At the root of all this was the regime of Napoleon I who in the early years of the 19th century neglected the country's twenty-eight extant institutions of higher learning in favor of his Université de France a disastrously centralized state-run institution that he established in 1808. The University suffered greatly during the Restoration and with it the quality of education so that by 1868 only £8000 were being spent for "true academic purposes" across the country cf. W. Chandler Roberts et al "Journal of the Society for Arts Vol. 32 no. 1655 August 8 1884 p. 905 creating a lacuna of learned and innovative thinkers to match Germany's. Perhaps in order to combat this downward trend Pasteur later founded the Pasteur Institute in 1887 serving as its director until his death in 1895. This appears to be the only separate appearance of Pasteur's tract published abroad and distributed to various foreign leading scientific figures among these "Darwin's Bulldog" Thomas Henry Huxley who makes mention of this work in an address delivered in October of that same year. The essay appeared again in print in 1947 following an even more disastrous encounter with Germany in a collection titled "Pour l'Avenir de la Science Française." This publication quite scarce with four physical copies noted in OCLC as of February 2020. COPAC adds one copy at the LEC Library UK. Forzani et C. unknown books

WOMENS' HISTORY & LITERATURE LGBTQ+ SINISTRARI DE AMENO RP. R. P.ABAA

De Sodomia: Tractatus in quo exponitur doctrina nova de Sodomia Fœminarum a Tribadismo distincta

1879réf. 47623Parisiis: Apud Isidorum Liseux 1879. First Thus. 12mo 15cm.; publisher's cream pictorial wrappers printed in red and black; xii89pp. Some light shelf wear and a few small soil spots tiny chips at spine ends else Very Good or better. Scarce extract from Sinistrari's larger work "De Delictis et Poenis" 1654 text entirely in Latin save for the publisher's tongue-in-cheek introduction in French. Liseux gained some notoriety a few years earlier when he published "De Daemonialitate et Incubus et Succubis" claiming to have discovered this heretofore unknown manuscript written in 1680 by the Franciscan priest Ludovico Maria Sinistrari 1622-1701. The work described the qualities of such beasts as vampires succubi and incubi though it has since been proposed that Liseux himself wrote the piece see J. Gordon Melton "The Vampire Book" 2010 p. 380. "De Daemonialitate" was eventually translated into English in 1879 and found its way into the hands of W.B. Yeats who borrowed Ezra Pound's copy and from it was inspired to compose the poem "The Black Centaur" first published in "The Tower" in 1928 Catherine E. Paul and Warwick Gould "W.B. Yeats and the Problem of Belief" "Yeats Annual" no. 21 p. 313. The present work is indeed authored by Sinistrari and remains here in its unalter ed Latin form presumably to avoid censure Liseux noting in his introduction that there's a reason he decided to publish this work sans illustration. Though the publisher's advertisement on the final leaf of text and rear cover only mention "De Daemonialitate" Liseux's catalog would go on to include the Kama Sutra and Ernest Dowson's "White Stains: Containing Also the Contemporary and Most Exhaustive Love's Cyclopaedia with Five Illustrations by Aubrey Beardsley in His Most Erotic Vein. Apud Isidorum Liseux unknown books

Autograph Letter Signed. 2pp signed to Parker Pillsbury Dec. 8th 1895

1895réf. 44165New York December 8th 1895. Autograph letter signed on recto and verso of single cream laid sheet 22x14.5cm.; approx. 85 words; dated 26 West 61st N.Y. Dec 8th and simply addressed to "Parker" presumably Stanton's friend and fellow-suffragist Parker Pillsbury 1809-1898 who with Stanton had co-edited the women's rights newsletter "The Revolution" twenty years earlier. Faint mail folds small unobtrusive archival paper remnants to two corners from having been previously mounted else Near Fine and still quite fresh. Brief contemporary 1897 pencil note at bottom edge "Mrs. Stanton - born Nov. 12 1815 Now past 82 - C.E.R." though based on contents we would place this letter as having been written around 1895. Brief but significant missive addressed to Parker Pillsbury the American minister and women's suffrage advocate regarding a copy of Stanton's "Woman's Bible" she had just sent him. "I wonder if I could interest them a "Mrs. White" and one other sufficiently in the Woman's Bible to sell ten or twenty copies in there sic respective woman's clubs It is published at my expense hence I am trying to push its circulation." The controversial "Woman's Bible" a series of commentaries pertaining to the portions of the Bible relating to women was published in two parts in 1895 and 1898 and composed almost entirely by Stanton alone her committee of Bible revisors finding the project too controversial and harmful to the cause of women's suffrage. Clearly at the time of writing this letter the book was still meeting with resistance thus our placing the date at around 1895 Stanton turning to Pillsbury as a potential source of influential and wealthy patrons she inquires "Is Mrs. White still living & working Is that rich woman that Mr. illegible used to visit in Maine living". But by 1897 the book had become a best seller though many of the members of the women's suffrage movement would continue to distance themselves from it. This letter quite significant as a testimony to the aging Stanton organizer of the historical 1848 Seneca Falls Convention and her continuing indefatigable efforts and initial lack of support in getting this work circulated. See Tracy A. Thomas "Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the Feminist Foundation of Family Law" 2016 pp. 15 & 223. unknown books

The Care and Feeding of Children: A Catechism for the Use of Mothers and Children's Nurses

Light wear to extremities hint of softening to corners with a faint diagonal tear to rear pastedown; contemporary owners ink signature to front endpaper Gertrude H. Souther / March 1895 with holograph pencil notes relative to the weight of two babies on rear endpaper; Very Good. Influential manual for mothers and nurses by Holt 1855-1924 an American author physician and pioneer in the field of pediatrics who helped shape the New York Babies Hospital into the leading pediatric facility of its time. The book was expanded from Holt's Catechism for Nurses 1893 a pamphlet prepared for nursery-maids during their four months training at the Babies Hospital. "The nurses studied the catechism and when they graduated took it with them. There followed requests for copies from their employers and the supply was soon exhausted. It was apparent there was a popular demand for something of the kind. The catechism was expanded and in 1894 The Care and Feeding of Children made its appearance.Probably no one would have been more surprised than Dr. Holt or his publishers had they been told that they were launching a volume that was to go through seventy-five printings and which was to be translated into Spanish Russian and Chinese.The book became the mainstay of many a worried mother and exerted no inconsiderable influence on the profession as well for the practitioners had to keep abreast of the pediatric knowledge which the mothers possessed" DUFFUS R.L. L. Emmett Holt. NY 1940 pp.116-117. Prior to the publication of The Care and Feeding of Children there was no standard text for pediatric care in print for laymen or medical professionals. A revolutionary volume written in clear simple language providing an orderly presentation of pediatric knowledge which empowered women to care for their children.
