1843ST20896London: William Pickering and John W. Parker and Son 1843-57. Second Edition of volumes I III V VI VIII XI XV XVII. Third Edition of volume II. FIRST EDITIONS of the other 13 volumes. 170 x 103 mm. 6 3/4 x 4 1/8". 22 volumes bound as 13. <br/> Pleasing contemporary calf by Leighton stamp-signed on verso of front flyleaf covers framed with a double blind rule raised bands spine compartments with a single gilt sun tool russet morocco labels lettered in gilt all edges sprinkled. First volume with one plate depicting the brain and one illustration in the text depicting the brains of different animals.<br /> Final volume with an ad for the complete series by John W. Parker. A few light scratches scuffs and spots to leather each volume with offset from ribbon page marker other trivial defects but a fine and attractive set--extraordinarily fresh and clean internally in bindings essentially without wear.<br/> <br/> Containing a rarely seen complete run of 22 separate works in 13 volumes this attractive set represents the joint efforts of a female Victorian polymath and major publisher William Pickering to introduce the general public to a very wide range of subjects partly to contribute to general popular education and partly to alert the public to the need for reform. Caroline Cornwallis 1786-1858 was a writer scholar and feminist activist whose life-long self-directed course of study led her to explore subjects as diverse as mineralogy theology Tuscan law and the Ancient Egyptian language. In 1842 the first work in the "Small Books on Great Subjects" series appeared authored anonymously by Cornwallis she is named only as "A Pariah" and the editorship of the series is credited to "A Few Well-Wishers to Knowledge". Along with initiating and editing the series Cornwallis composed all but four of the books herself the second and third numbers were written by John Barlow #15 by Wilhelm von Humboldt and #16 by David Power. The works cover philosophy psychology chemistry Greek philosophy Christian history and theology biology law grammar geology politics and more and proved to be a great success in Britain and America. Some of the volumes are histories of general interest "A Brief View of Greek Philosophy up to the Age of Pericles" and "Christian Sects in the Nineteenth Century"; others are of significant scientific content "The Connection Between Physiology and Intellectual Philosophy" and "On Man’s Power Over Himself to Prevent or Control Insanity; still others are strongly reformist in thrust "On the Principles of Criminal Law" decrying the harshness of punitive Victorian laws and "On the Philosophy of Ragged Schools" dealing with the pressing issue of educating London's poor. Initially "Small Books on Great Subjects" was published by William Pickering but upon his 1853 bankruptcy John W. Parker took over the series. Stray volumes of this series are readily available but complete sets especially in the condition seen here are much more difficult to find. William Pickering (and John W. Parker and Son) unknown

17292445<p><i>Folio 333 x 205 mm pp. 2 20 title-page in double ruled border E2 badly crumpled some light browning and a few pages a little dog-eared</i><i> uncut and stab-sewn as issued: generally a good copy in original state.</i></p><p>Issued as a parliamentary paper and ordered to be printed on 20th March 1729 this is one of three reports of the Committee set up to investigate the state of prisons. It was read and presented to the Commons by James Oglethorpe and was probably largely written by him. Oglethorpe was an important pioneer of prison reform whose name deserves to be remembered alongside that of his much better known successor John Howard.</p><p>The report shows that the Warden of the Fleet Prison disregarding the changes in the statute regarding the Fleet had continued to exercise 'an unwarrantable and arbitrary power' not only by charging exorbitant fees but by loading prisoners with chains in a manner more cruel and unjustifiable than that practised in the Star-Chamber. Money was extracted from prisoners at every opportunity: any prisoners who could not afford to pay for bedding were obliged to sleep on the floor in foul conditions and the warden would not attend to the forms necessary to discharge a prisoner unless he received the fees he demanded with the result that numerous prisoners were kept several years after they should have been discharged. </p><p>It was Oglethorpe's investigations into the state of prisons and his shocking findings that led him to study the social conditions of his day including unemployment and paved the way for his important Georgia Experiment a policy prohibiting the ownership of slaves in the Georgia Colony see Leslie F.
