Da Libra [Daniel L. Brain]. Women Types of To-Day. The Venus, the Juno, the Minerva. London: Stock, 1907.

Bodleian

On blue cloth front cover, title appears in red, subtitle types in silver script, and in lower right in red: "A Study by Da Libra," the name as if in signature. On the title page the title and subtitle continue: "Or/ Modern Casts from Ancient Moulds" in small caps. "A Study, Dedicated to Both Sexes," in gothic lettering, "By/ Da Libra." in pencil annotated "pseud/ Colonel Brain." The introduction quickly establishes the strange blend of the text and its effervescent style. "In this work there might be found sign-posts or aids in the scrutation of types" (vi) in the effort to "classify women, as a naturalist does" (iii-vi). The next section, "Cover Device," explains the cover's design: the types appear on the cover in calligraphy characteristic of their respective types ("enlarged from those written by models of the respective types" (vii). The types appear in silver to symbolize the night and the moon, and the color blue is an emblem of "the Firmament" (viii). Few named women appear in the book, though passages will catalogue eminent women, for instance Semiramis, Zenobia, Sappho, Cleopatra, on up to Mrs. Somerville, on pp. 10-11. Under the header "TYPES--CAREERS OF LIFE [CHAP. III." and subheading "IN SOCIETY": "In middle age the Venus and Juno types approach each other as to form and disposition, though their leading characteristics will be preserved" (98). Epigraphs and excerpts from famous writers such as Ovid interrupt the prose, e.g. pp. 232-3. An exception appears in discussing the famous women who "ruled Kings" in France; ch. vii, pp. 300-13, includes various named women. See Cole.

221A D'Auvergne, Edmund Basil Francis. Adventuresses and Adventurous Ladies. New York: J. H. Sears; London: Hutchinson, 1927; 1928.

"With sixteen full-page illustrations" in small caps on titlepage. University of Miami copy bookplate "Ex Libris Henry Viehe." "By the Same Author: Some Left-Handed Marriages, A Queen at Bay, Lola Montez, The Bride of Two Kings, Etc., Etc." listed in small caps. Youthful portrait of Lola Montez "(After Joseph Stieler)," frontispiece. Preface by D'Auvergne attests to his original research to present truthful accounts of "women whose stories...[of] various ages, nations, and orders of society" present "a doubtful moral, but...make a good tale" (5-6). The very familiar story of Lady Hamilton (Admiral Nelson's mistress) may be welcomed as a favorite "in a gallery mostly given up to strangers" (6)—possibly indicating that Lola Montez was being revived in the early twentieth century. The "Preliminary Discourse" concludes with the opinion that these women were resourceful within their time's subordination of women; "You can decide for yourself which were the adventuresses and which the adventurous ladies" (14). Portraits of male rulers mix with multiple images of some of the women; three of Lola Montez.

TOC: Catalina de Erauso; Mary Carleton; Elizabeth Chudleigh; Princess Tarakanova [Aly Emmetté]; Théroigne de Méricourt; Emma, Lady Hamilton; Lola Montez; Thérèse Humbert.

Chapter titles: Preface; A Preliminary Discourse on Adventuresses; The Nun Ensign (Catalina de Erauso); "The German Princess" (Mary Carleton); The Countess-Duchess (Elizabeth Chudleigh; "Elizabeth the Second"; The Fire-Hearted Demoiselle; "The Dear Emma" (Emma, Lady Hamilton); "The Spanish Dancer" (Lola Montez; La Grande Therese (Thérèse Humbert).

The iv + 43-pp. booklet in boards covered in green with black lettering has evidently been used. Above Lesson I. in blue pencil is written S. N. 4-11-35; Lesson II. S. N. 19. x .36 ? [sic] in black pencil; Lesson XII: S. N. 21.9.36, with a check mark, "Hymn '94 or 187?" in black pencil. Lesson XIX in darker pencil, "Nov'14." These suggest plans for using the lesson on a date. On opposite page, Lesson XVIII, above the header (title of the book) is written in pencil "Priest's wife/Prophet's Mother./ Virgin Mothers/ Kinswoman." On p. 15, Lesson X, to left margin is added in black pencil, "Bear Wood 1913./Wickhampstead[?] 1914/Arborfield 1915." At bottom of p. 15: "Ps 121/3/ He that Keepeth thee will not sleep" and many of the words in the lesson are circled or underlined. Of course the lessons are condensations of references to Bible passages. The handwriting in such notes appears consistent throughout, and there are many marked lessons, while some remain blank and some notes have been erased (p.31). Perhaps the person who signed Corfield in blue ink on upper right of the light green endpaper inside the front cover traveled to preach and teach from these lessons. It belongs to the Ira J. Taylor Library, Iliff School of Theology, Denver, Colorado.

Dowie, Ménie Muriel, ed., and C. J. Worthington . Women Adventurers. London: Unwin; New York: Macmillan, [1890?]; 1893.

In “Adventure Series.” Red cloth cover with image of knight on charger above a banner reading “Fisher Unwin. Paternoster Square. E. C./London 1890.” Frontispiece: “Harry T. Buford/ Madame Velazquez in Military Uniform.” Dowie, posing the weary old questions of women's equality or rights (v-x), wishes the women adventurers had not been “the narrators” of their own tales (they are too sentimental and judgmental [xii]). Dowie eschews documentation, both because she does not take “the ladies or their legends seriously enough” and because the legendary effect is stronger without it (xv-xvi). After the introduction, the volume becomes a bound set of reprints (each with frontis., titlepage, etc., but continuous pagination) of: The Woman in Battle: A Narrative . . . of Madame . . . Velazquez . . . , ed. C. J. Worthington (Hartford: Belknap, 1876); Anon., The Female Soldier, or The Surprising Life and Adventures of Hannah Snell (London: Walker, 1750), with signed affidavit dated 1750; The Life and Surprising Adventures of Mary Anne Talbot in the Name of John Taylor . . . Related by Herself (London: Kirby, 1809); The Life and Adventures of Mrs. Christian Davies Commonly Called Mother Ross (London: Montagu, 1740).

TOC: Madame Velazquez; Hannah Snell; Mary Anne Talbot; Mrs. Christian Davies or Mother Ross.
