Glasgow born Robert Foulis 1707-1776 was a Scottish printer whose work had considerable influence on the printers and publishers of his time. Initially apprenticing as a master barber he was encouraged to take up the trade of printing and bookselling at the suggestion of his friend Francis Hutcheson of the University of Glasgow. Beginning in 1741 Foulis engaged in the selling of books in Glasgow and it was very shortly thereafter in 1742 that he set up his own press. He was appointed printer to the University of Glasgow in 1743 and in the same year produced the first Greek book printed in Glasgow the Peri herm neias in both Greek and Latin of the pseudo-Demetrius Phalereus. "Five years later he went into partnership with his brother Andrew and by 1775 had produced more than 500 separate editions including an edition of Homer 4 vol. folio 175658 Callimachus small quarto 1755 Thomas Grays Poems quarto 1768 Herodotus Thucydides and Xenophon with Latin translations and one of the first Scottish editions of Shakespeare. The Foulises best works were distinguished by their excellent layout legibility and accuracy." EB April 2019. Some of the credit for their achievement is attributable to the renowned type-maker and punch-cutter Alexander Wilson from whom they purchased their types. Robert Foulis died on 2 June 1776 in Edinburgh. <br/><br/> In Aedibus Academicis Excudebat Robertus Foulis Academiae Typographus. hardcover

The work is published with the Greek and Latin texts on opposite pages to which are added the extensive notes and comments of over 200 pages by Johannes Augustus Werdenhagen 1581-1652 for use of students. The present second Dutch edition is quite rare with only three copies recorded in institutions.Theophrastus was born on the island of Lesbos and was a student of Aristotle. He wrote numerous treatises across all areas of philosophy but the present work is his most well-known and has been imitated many times especially in the 17th century. The work which was already widely read in classical antiquity contains thirty descriptions of moral types which are both humorous and morally instructive. As the first recorded attempt of systematic character writing it paints a vivid picture of various human behaviours and offers insight into universal human weaknesses. Theophrastus' simple and direct style makes the work accessible while offering a profound reflection on the qualities and flaws of human nature.With the armorial bookplate of Edward Shipperdson mounted on the front pastedown and the manuscript initials "RK" on the first free flyleaf. The vellum is somewhat soiled and stained with a tear and small loss at the foot. The leaves are somewhat browned.
