179817365Philadelphia: Printed by John Omrod 1798 First American edition of this educational classic that shows the influence of Rousseau on the work of Erasmus Darwin 1731 – 1802. First published in London the previous year. Included in this edition is an American printing of Mrs. M. Peddle's Rudiments of Taste a popular conduct book was first published in London in 1789 and in the United States in 1790. Contemporary tree sheep with red morocco spine label. Gilt-ruled spine. Twelvemo. Separate title-page for Mrs. M. Peddle's The Rudiments of Taste. Some wear to binding and a couple cracks to sheep on upper board. Quite a fresh copy despite some foxing to first few leaves and some slight toning throughout. A very good tight copy of a fragile book. Darwin wrote the present work after helping his daughters Susan and Mary Parker establish a boarding school for young women in 1794. Here he draws on the theories of Rousseau Locke and Genlis to advocate for the education of women in schools in topics like philosophy the natural sciences history art manufacturing and language. Darwin believed that women should be educated for the purpose of becoming better wives and companions to men but promoted progressive notions that women's education would take place in well-resourced schools rather than in the home and that women should be educated in the concepts of finance industry and manufacturing. In Peddle's The Rudiments of Taste "Classical influence blends with Christian…Peddle recommends reading ancient and modern history travels biography science and good poetry not novels which leave their readers incapable of 'relishing anything superior'" Blain Grundy and Clements eds. The Feminist Companion to Literature in English p. 841. Printed by John Omrod,

Les Colloques d'Erasme

172058442à Leyde Leiden: Chez Pierre VanderBoudoin Janisson Vander 1720. Fine. Chez Pierre Vander Boudoin Janisson Vander à Leyde Leiden 1720 9.50 x 17 cm 6 volumes reliés First edition of Nicolas Gueudeville's translation particularly sought after for its illustration with the first printing of 55 half-page figures unsigned in the style of Romain de Hooge or Harrewyn Cohen 347. A frontispiece by Schinove and a large vignette with the arms of Frederick of Gloucester Prince of Hanover. Title pages in red and black. Contemporary full speckled brown calf bindings. Decorated smooth spines. Red morocco title labels and tan morocco volume labels. Triple fillet frame on boards. Head caps partially missing on volumes III and IV the others worn. Tail caps on volumes II III and VI worn. In volume VI from p. 95 to 115 a folded corner. Despite the noted flaws a handsome set well bound. Just like The Praise of Folly translated by Guedeville a little earlier which met with such success that this was the title retained in France for Erasmus's work although it was the translator's The Colloquies is a mixed work not merely an adaptation like most 18th-century translations but a recreation according to Guedeville's aims. The Colloquia Familiares or familiar conversations are a series of dialogues with very varied characters intended to represent the human comedy with a real didactic intention on the author's part: didacticism of language and morals. It is the entire society of the 16th century that parades through these dialogues with a watchword for the whole: the folly of men. Aubrey Rosenberg and most recently Paul Smith have examined Gueudeville's style as a translator and its main characteristics: amplification modernization oralization. As a general rule the translation is twice as long as the original the additions consisting essentially of humorous touches and jokes that accentuate the banter intended for a popular readership that does not necessarily read Latin. Allusions to current events are scattered here and there: the translator does not forget that he is also a journalist and there would undoubtedly remain discoveries to be made if one wanted to scrutinize more precisely the political scope of certain choices. The modernization furthermore consists in the use of fashionable vocabulary as well as the invention of pleasant neologisms. The insertion of oral turns of phrase such as interrogatives engaging the reader finally proceeds from Gueudeville's particular attention to the genre of texts he translates. He is thus sensitive to the theatricality implied by declamations. Similarly from the preface of his Colloquies he addresses his readers: ""Voulez vous bien que nous approfondissions un peu la Matière "" ""Would you like us to delve a little deeper into the Matter"". It nonetheless remains that the translator intends to be very respectful and faithful to Erasmus's work as evidenced by the numerous preliminary pieces on the author but he was above all concerned with amusing while instructing in keeping with the spirit of his century and the result seems to measure up as the philosophical and moralist matter of these dialogues is enhanced by a freshness of tone and banter for which Gueudeville is responsible.

A Plan for the Conduct of Female Education in Boarding Schools Private Families and Public Seminaries.

1798167893Philadelphia: Printed by John Ormrod 1798. A "determined stand against the nearly universal belief that women ought to be feather-brained and feeble-bodied" First US edition of Darwin's treatise on the education of women presented here in a well-preserved contemporary binding. This copy's title page is signed in a contemporary hand by one "Eliza Phelan". Although Darwin ultimately sought to educate women so as to make them useful companions for men his was a more equal "different but complementary" conception of the male-female relationship than was commonly held ODNB. The Plan advocated the creation of dedicated schools for girls where such subjects as botany and experimental philosophy would be taught. "In retrospect the most important feature of the book is his determined stand against the nearly universal belief that women ought to be feather-brained and feeble-bodied. He was taking the first crucial step along the path that has led to sexual equality and feminism" King-Hele p. 284. Darwin wrote from the start with practical applications in mind: the work originated as advice to his two illegitimate daughters for whom he had bought a converted inn to run as a school for girls. It is perhaps for this reason that the work has been described as "the most appealing of Darwin's prose publications" ibid. p. 282. The Plan was originally published in Derby in 1797: the US edition was published a year later with Darwin's slender tract bound with the unrelated Rudiments of Taste a work which had been published several times before in Philadelphia and London over the previous decade. Duodecimo 168 x 99 mm. Engraved frontispiece numerous engraved head and tailpieces in the text. Contemporary speckled sheep smooth spine ruled in gilt forming 5 compartments red morocco label to second. Late 19th-century book label of one "Jean Rouche" to front pastedown. Small hole to foot of spine very light bumping and wear to extremities small ink stain to p. 38 over text without affecting legibility slight separation within gatherings I-N: a very good copy.
