About This Item
New York: Wynkoop, Hallenbeck & Thomas, 1861 OCLC records one copy under this imprint (Vassar) and eight copies under the imprint of C.A. Alvord, in a larger format with a variant title (Vassar, AAS, Trinity College in Connecticut, New York Historical Society, Library Company of Philadelphia, Office of the Commonwealth Libraries, British Library, and UC Davis). We have been unable to determine priority for the imprints. Original buff paper wrappers printed in black. . 24 pp. With large title-page vignette. Minor dust soiling to wrappers. Front cover loosening at head of spine, though still firmly attached. A very good, clean, and attractive copy of an uncommon item dating back to the founding of Vassar College, the second degree-granting institution of higher education for women in the United States. Vassar College was founded in 1861 by Matthew Vassar (1792 – 1868). Following in the footsteps of Elmira College, which was founded in 1855, Vassar became the second college to grant degrees to women that were the equivalent to those given to men.

About Michael R. Thompson, Booksellers, ABAA/ILAB
Our office is located in Los Angeles on West Third Street, between the Beverly Center and Farmer's Market. Though we gave up an open shop after more than thirty years, we welcome serious customers and dealers. We are normally open from 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday. Since some of our less expensive books are located in a temperature-controlled storage area offsite, you may want to call ahead of time to insure that the book you want to see will be available. We feature a stock strong in literature, history, Western philosophy, women's studies, education, history of science and fine printing and artists' books. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. We have books from the 15th to the 20th century in all prices ranges. We do appraisals for income tax and insurance purposes. We purchase individual books and libraries. Proprietor: Carol Sandberg
