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.

The Colloquies or familiar discourses of Desiderius Erasmus of Roterdam rendered into English

1671Pv5b111a"Prince of Christian Humanists" Desiderius Erasmus 1466 1536 was undoubtedly the most widely read author of the 16th Century. His books were best sellers; his writings accounted for 10-20% of all book sales in Europe by the 1530's. Presented here is the first Printing in the English language of his Colloquies A Work of very great Use to such as desire to attain an exact knowledge of the Latin Tongue. First published in 1518 and expanded by Erasmus over the next fifteen years Erasmus' Colloquies deliver a collection of lively dialogues which delighted readers far beyond the Renaissance schoolroom for whom these were originally intended. They cover a wide range of topics including religion education morality and social issues. The dialogues often satirical and critical address the issues of Erasmus' time and offer sharp commentary on contemporary society. The Colloquies were intended to teach Latin and moral lessons to students but they also serve as a window into the intellectual and cultural landscape of the Renaissance. The English translation of the Erasmus' Colloquies introduced English-speaking audiences to Erasmus' ideas and philosophy creating a profound impact on European intellectual thought during the Renaissance. The Colloquies also played a key role in the development of English prose and language as they were widely read and studied by both students and scholars.

EURIPIDES and Desiderius ERASMUS (editor and translator).Biblio.com

Euripidis tragoediae duae hecuba & iphigenia in aulide Latinae factae.

1530ABC_49914Basel 1530. 8vo 10.4 x 15.4 cm. Froben Office heirs of Johann Froben 19th-century half brown calf and grey paper sides. With a woodcut printer's device on the title page and final page and 7 decorated woodcut initials. 293 1 1 blank 1 pp. This volume brings together Erasmus renditions in Latin of two of Euripides most enduring tragedies titled Hecuba and Iphigenia in Aulis presented alongside the original Greek texts beginning on page 169. Euripides ca. 480-ca. 406 BCE was a Greek tragedian of classical Athens. He is one of only three Greek tragedians whose plays have survived in full the others being Aeschylus and Sophocles.Both plays in the present work explore the devastating costs of war through the eyes of women caught in its aftermath. In Hecuba the former queen of Troy endures unspeakable losses the sacrifice of her daughter Polyxena the murder of her son Polydorus and ultimately a brutal act of revenge that leads to her mythical transformation into a howling dog symbolising her complete descent into grief and rage.Iphigenia in Aulis is set on the eve of the Trojan War focusing on Agamemnons impossible decision to sacrifice his daughter Iphigenia to appease the goddess Artemis and allow the Greek fleet to sail. The play confronts themes of duty honour and the personal costs of collective ambition. These themes echo tragically in Hecuba which portrays the wars bitter consequences. Together these tragedies form a poignant narrative arc from the sacrifices made to start a war to the wreckage and human suffering left in its wake.With a partially erased manuscript note on the title page 1822. Some water staining in the margins and a few small holes in the inner margin not affecting the text.

PLUTARCH and Desiderius ERASMUS (translator and editor).Biblio.com

Ex Plutarcho versa per Des. Erasmum Roterodamum. Recognita per eundem ex collatione Graecorum voluminum ut sequens ha bet pagella .

1520ABC_49876Basel: Johann Froben 1520. Modern gold-tooled half calf and marbled paper sides with the author title and year of publication lettered in gold on the spine red sprinkled edges. 4to. With the title set within an elaborate woodcut frame a smaller woodcut frame on the verso of the title page and the first page of the first text. Further with 9 woodcut decorated initials woodcut headpieces and a small woodcut illustration incorporating Frobens device on the last page. This finely printed 1520 Basel edition presents a collection of Erasmus earliest translations from the works of the Greek moral philosopher Plutarch. The volume presents eight of Plutarch's shorter treatises addressing themes such as friendship health and the nature of the human soul.One of the most notable inclusions is De discrimine adulatoris et amici How to tell a flatterer from a friend a treatise Erasmus translated during his time in Cambridge and dedicated to King Henry VIII. The text which explores the subtle art of distinguishing true friendship from sycophancy resonated in an era when rulers were often surrounded by flattering courtiers. With characteristic tact Erasmus hoped the work might serve both as philosophical instruction and as a gentle warning to the young English king particularly in light of those who had encouraged Henrys war with France.Furthermore the present work includes two of Plutarchs important medical treatises in Erasmus translation: De tuenda bona valetudine Advice on keeping well and Utrum graviores sint animi morbi quam corporis Are diseases of the soul more serious than those of the body. The latter contains strikingly early and thoughtful reflections on what we now recognise as mental illness. Other works included in this volume are: Quo pacto quis efficere possit ut capiat utilitatem ab inimico reflections on transforming enmity into wisdom and personal growth. In principe requiri doctrinam on the necessity of wisdom and education in a prince. Cum principibus maxime philosophum debere disputare a meditation on the philosophers role in advising those in power. Num recte dictum sit e ßsa on the meaning of the maxim lathe biosas: to live quietly and modestly. De cupiditate divitiarum a discourse on avarice and the moral corruption born of greed.With a small manuscript note added above the title opuscula and a 17th- or 18th-century owners inscription by an otherwise unidentified Johannes below the colophon on the final page. Slightly foxed and browned throughout the fore-edge and lower margins are cut slightly short barely affecting the printed marginalia. Otherwise in good condition.l Adams p. 654; Ledo pp. 260-66; USTC 655014 6 copies; Vander Haeghen II 46; VD 16 P 3718; not in BM STC German; De Reuck. Johann Froben, unknown

1464London: J. Johnson. THE FIRST OF DARWIN'S FOUR MAJOR WORKS THE BOTANIC GARDEN" IS OFFERED HERE IN TWO HANDSOMELY BOUND VOLUMES Dictionary of Scientific Biography III 578-579. Erasmus Darwin 1732-1802 was a remarkable polymath working as a physician naturalist medical botanist and inventor. He was also Charles Darwin's grandfather. The Botanic Garden is an annotated scientific poem in Augustan couplets. It appeared in two parts of which the second The Loves of the Plants 1789 was published before the first The Economy of Vegetation 1791. "Darwin decided to publish the second part of the work first because it was better suited "to entertain and charm." The first part of the work is more ambitious than the second covering all natural philosophy and embodying many of the researches and inventions of Wedgwood Watt Boulton and others. The design of the totality was Darwin wrote 'To enlist Imagination under the banner of Science. to induce the ingenious to cultivate the knowledge of botany. and recommending to their attention the immortal works of the celebrated Swedish naturalist-Linnaeus.' "Darwin believed that prose was suited to abstract ideas but chose to write poetry for its ability to conjure up visual images; he drew upon the Rosicrucian doctrine of Gnomes Sylphs Nymphs and Salamanders presiding over the four elements in his personifications of all scientific technological and natural phenomena. Although William Cowper and other early critics greeted The Botanic Garden with praise" ibid. We offer Darwin's Zoonomia; or The Laws of Organic Life Volumes I & II 1794 & 1796 separately.
