Description
  • Item: E.N. Little: Beacon Lights, 1884 Signed/Owned by Sophonisba Breckenridge

    Sophonisba Preston Breckenridge graduated from Wellesley College in 1888 and was admitted into the Kentucky bar in 1895. She later became the first woman to receive a Ph.D. in political science. Her teaching, research and publications helped to define social work as a profession and mold it into an academic discipline. She helped to found and was editor of Social Service Review. The book is titled Beacon Lights for God’s Mariners. Breckenridge signed her name in ink on the Dedication page with “Wellesley College” written below her name. She added short, personal messages at the bottom of two pages. The book itself was compiled and illustrated by Elizabeth N. Little. It is typical of Victorian illustrated books replete with homilies and poetry and heavily decorated. It was published 1884 by S. E. Cassino & Co. of Boston. Stringbound, although the strings are not doing a very good job any more. Book is just fair. Approximately three dozen pages. 4.5 x 5.75.
