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.

Internally a copy in excellent condition.<br /> <br /> The grandfather of the illustrious Charles Darwin Erasmus Darwin wrote this treatise on the education of young women to support his own daughters' school at Ashbourne. Darwin's treatise takes a comprehensive view of women's education suggesting that it should reach beyond social skills such as the "perpetual appearance of attention" polite dancing and flattering dress and into formal intellectual pursuits including literature history mathematics and the natural sciences. While he promoted women's education in part to improve the likelihood of companionate marriages Darwin's text tentatively acknowledges that a marital partnership can only function happily when both parties have an intelligent understanding of the world and the ability to participate in it. "A radical campaigner for equality he condemned slavery supported female education and opposed conventional Christian ideas on creation" Farra. With a bookplate from the library of the Wolley family this particular copy has the ownership signature of female reader Mary Wolley. J. Drewry unknown
