Coypel and a woodcut vignette by LeBas representing the arts and sciences in volume 1. Text in French. 18th-century French red morocco boards with arms and ruled border spine gilt in six compartments with raised bands lettered in the second others with repeat decoration in gilt all edges gilt marbled endpapers.<br/> <br/>Beautiful copy of this teaching manual printed on large paper and bound for the Duke of Orleans Louis Philippe 1725-1785 the French prince and member of the House of Bourbon the royal dynasty that ruled France.<br/> <br/>Charles Rollin was a French historian and educator. Born in Paris Rollin was made a master in the Collège du Plessis at the age of 22. In 1694 he was made rector of the University of Paris where among other things he revived the study of Greek. He held that post for two years and was then appointed principal of the Collège de Beauvais in 1699. Rollin held Jansenist views and his career suffered as a result of his religious opinions disqualifying him to be elected for the rectorship a second time in 1719 and possibly the reason his election to the Académie Française was barred. In the later years of his life after he had been forbidden to teach Rollin began publishing literary works including his famous "Ancient History" published in Paris between 1730 and 1738. In the present celebrated work Rollin sought to pass down the useful lessons he learned from his long career at the University of Paris to young teachers. In the introduction he writes on the aims of teaching and a "well-rounded" education: intellectual training moral training Christian education and the development of judgment and literary and artistic taste. He includes the sciences mathematics French Greek and Latin languages poetry history and philosophy as essential subjects. This manual stays in the predominant educational tradition of the time but Rollin exhibits some interest in developing certain educational reforms considered radical at the time including studying and writing in French over the "dead languages" and using readings and examples as opposed to simple rhetorical exercises. The last part is made up of interesting memories and personal experiences elaborating on the psychological impact of the bond between teacher and student. chez la Veuve Estienne unknown books

BEAUTIFUL COPY OF ROLLIN'S IMPORTANT WORK ON THE TEACHING AND STUDY OF "BELLE LETTRES" A CLASSIC OF 18TH-CENTURY PEDAGOGY PRINTED BY MARIE-ANNE GUYARD ESTIENNE WIDOW OF JACQUES ESTIENNE THE ELDER. SHE ACHIEVED GREAT SUCCESS IN LATER YEARS THROUGH HER INDUSTRY AND BUSINESS ACUMEN. <br /> <br /> Marie-Anne Guyard a.k.a. Guiard was the daughter of a wine-merchant. In 1714 after the death of her first husband Charles-Francois Pochard metal merchant she married the successful printer-publisher Jacques Estienne. Upon his death in 1731 she continued the press and publishing operations located on the rue Saint-Jacques "a la Vertu". The present 4-volume set of Rollin's teaching and study guide was followed two years later by a 16-volume set of Rollin's "Histoire romaine" 1738-1748. From 1743 onward she worked in partnership with her eldest son Jacques the Younger to whom she sold 1/3 of the business for 110000 livres according to IRHT -- a colossal sum in those days. They were joined in 1750 by her second son Robert to whom she also sold 1/3 of the business for the same amount. According to a contemporary report by 1752 she was "a very rich woman for whom M. Rollin made a fortune on account of all the works of his that she printed. Abbe Antoine Pluche also contributed. She has just bequeathed and sold her business to her son and to Bauche's son." Marie-Anne Estienne died on May 13 1753 leaving her children a large estate. As stated above her two sons became printer-publishers; two of her four daughters married printer-publishers one married a bourgeois merchant and one married Daniel Coffin conseiller du Roi.<br /> <br /> Included herein are two priced lists of "Livres nouvellement imprimes" by her the first in vol. I 5 pages the second in vol. IV 2 pages and we learn that the published price of the present edition -- unbound -- was 10 livres. <br /> <br /> OUR SET IS IN MUSEUM QUALITY CONDITION AND IS SUITABLE FOR EXHIBITION AND STUDY.<br /> <br /> See: Romeo Arbour Dictionnaire des femmes libraires en France 1470-1870 p. 219 and the CNRS IRHT Insitut de recherche et d'histoire des textes website.

Quillau and the widow of Simon Contemporary mottled calf richly gold-tooled spines and binding edges marbled edges; only volume 11 bound as 2 volumes with slightly different tooling mottling and title-labels; all unobtrusive differences making a closely matching set. With 3 engraved maps 2 engraved folding plates and 1 engraved folding plan. 13 volumes bound as 14. ca. 600 pp. per volume Lovely set in the original French of Rollin's very popular Histoire ancienne which contrary to its full title primarily describes ancient Greece the other ancient peoples are only treated in the first two volumes. It's a mixed set from three editions published by the Estienne family in nice closely matching bindings. After the first volume appeared in 1730 the series grew well beyond its initially planned five volumes and became tremendously popular appearing in numerous editions and translations well into the 19th century. Rollin organised a narrative closely based on a wide variety of ancient sources. While this copying was heavily criticized Rollin also distinguished himself with his concern for moral issues. "The prominent lens through which Rollin viewed history was that of virtue corrupted by power and this was the main approach that he tested in his Greek history. In the process moreover he carved and unprecedented space for Greek antiquity" Lianeri.The set is in very good condition with a few leaves browned and a few minor spots and stains. The binding only have some minor wear along the extremities and are also in very good condition.l Brunet IV col. 1360; Graesse VI p. 151; cf. A.
