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.

179817365<p>Philadelphia: 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.

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
