ff. 360 (of 361) leaves. Lacks folio Fii (but with xerox facsimiles inserted). First signature detached, and somewhat browned. The title is printed in red and black, and has a central woodcut depicting Mount Parnassus, with the Muses, Bacchus and the temples of Delphi and Apollo. On the verso of the title page are the large woodcut arms of George, Duke of Saxony, showing a powerful knight in frontal view. This woodcut is dated 1514 in the banderole at the knight's head. The blank bottom 2.5" of the title have an old repair. Printed with wide margins in the text, and throughout there are marginal and interlinear Latin notes and comments in black ink by at least two sixteenth-century hands. (The manuscript notes here might reward better scholars than we are with interesting revelations). Folio. 330 mm. Highly decorated and tooled half alum tawed vellumized pig skin over oak boards binding. The spine covering is gone, revealing four double cord raised bands, and remains of an early manuscript used as binder's super. Clasps perished but the brass receivers on the front board are present. Johannes Beuschel was a German neo-latin poet and teacher at the Leipzig university. Probably born at Rothenburg ob der Tauber in the 1470's. From 1504 (and many years thereafter) he was a reader/professor of neo-Latin poetry. He probably died in Leipzig in 1522. Other names associated with him are: Erythropolitanus - Rotenburgensis; Johannes Tuberinus; Johannes Beusselius; Johannes Peussel or Pewschel; etc. He should not be confused with the anti-Jewish writer Johannes Matthias Tiberinus [ca. 1420-1500]. This is apparently an issue of one of the so-called lecture printings (Vortrag-Drucke). Used especially in Leipzig and Erfurt, they were issued in very small quantities for use in the university. Their wide margins were provided for just the sort of annotation seen in this example. They were apparently meant mainly for local sale. As a genre they are rather rare. Of this work we can locate no examples in the U.S. and only a few in Europe. Dedicated to George (the Bearded), Duke of Saxony (1471-1539), who became Duke of Saxony in 1500. He developed decided ability as a ruler. Among other actions, he took measures to suppress the robber-knights, and regulated the judicial system by defining and adjusting the jurisdiction of the various law courts. His court was better regulated than that of any other German prince, and he bestowed a paternal care on the University of Leipzig, where a number of reforms were introduced, and Humanism, as opposed to Scholasticism, was encouraged. The most significant era of his life unfolded after the time of this book, during Luther's Reformation. Most of his political measures, stood the test of experience, but in ecclesiastico-political matters he witnessed with sorrow the gradual decline of Catholicism and the spread of Lutheranism within his dominions, in spite of his earnest efforts and forcible prohibition of the new Protestant doctrine.

Otherwise pages quite clean and crisp. Binding fair book block very good. See the Wikipendia entries on Jane Collier and An Essay on the Art of Ingeniously Tormenting. "Jane Collier's An Essay on the Art of Ingeniously Tormenting 1753 a conduct book was her first work. The Essay operates as a satirical advice book on how to nag and it was modeled after Jonathan Swift's satirical essays. The work is intended to "teach" a reader the various methods for "teasing and mortifying" one's acquaintances. It is divided into two sections that are organized for "advice" to specific groups and it is followed by "General Rules" for all people to follow. / The Essay is modeled on Jonathan Swift's satire Instructions to Servants 1746 and even mentions Swift directly. However Collier reverses the roles in Swift's satire and instead writes from a servant's perspective in the first book. / To the master and mistresses the narrator claims that "you are no true lover of the noble game of Tormenting if a good dinner or any other convenience or enjoyment can give you half the pleasure as the teasing and mortifying a good industrious servant who has done her very best to please you." / To wives she tells them to "Be out of humour when your husband brings company home: be angry if he goes abroad without you; and troublesome if he takes you with him." When speaking to friends she argues that "injuries go nearest to us that we neither deserve nor expect." Added to the work are "General Rules for plaguing all your acquaintance; with the description of a party of pleasure" along with a "Conclusion" and "A Fable". As a general rule the narrator says "By all means avoid an evenness of behaviour. Be sometimes extremely glad to see people; and at other times let your behaviour be hardly within the rules of good breeding." / Betty Rizzo described the work as the "best-known generic satire written in the eighteenth century by a woman." The Battesins stated that Collier was "an author of wit and spirit". Some critics find it interesting that Collier would "yoke" Richardson with those that he "felt especial antipathy" with: Swift and Fielding. Katherine Craik claims the work as "a courageous social satire published at a time when satires were usually written by and for men.""3214045. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Good. Printed for A.

1821ST20285Edinburgh: Printed for Archibald Constable & Co.; London: Hurst Robinson & Co 1821. FIRST EDITION. 192 x 103 mm. 7 1/2 x 4 1/2". xv 1 lvii 1 59-360 pp. <br/> ORIGINAL PUBLISHER'S PAPER BOARDS paper label on spine edges untrimmed. Owner's signature of Robert Chichester dated 1827 on front pastedown. Text a shade less than bright because of inferior paper stock slight wear to the binding but AS FINE A COPY IN THE ORIGINAL BOARDS AS ONE COULD HOPE TO FIND the covers amazingly clean and smooth and with only the most minor faults internally.<br/> <br/> In its original remarkably well-preserved publisher's boards this work on education captures the spirit of reform abundant in the early 19th century including its warts. Although Spurzheim 1776-1832 was better known as an exponent of phrenology and an authority on mental illness than as an educational theorist his "View of the Elementary Principles of Education" is an important work that for the most part is sensible and progressive. Especially significant are his assertion that all influences from birth onward contribute to the physical and mental development of the child and the inference he draws from this that in addition to the conventional education of the intellect an optimal upbringing must include attention to such things as clean air proper diet and suitable exercise. He favors public education over private instruction because children will benefit by meeting a variety of people with "different manners of feeling and thinking." Spurzheim shows himself to be generally tolerant and forward thinking as he maintains that good education can improve almost anybody it would certainly reduce the number of criminals. But he sometimes disappoints as in his belief that many limitations are hereditary and must be taken into account in designing the most fitting education for an individual. He states for example that the poor ought to be prevented from reproducing as if poverty were in the genes. And in answering the claims of Mary Wollstonecraft's "Vindication of the Rights of Women" he says "I cannot perceive any arrangement of nature that can lead me to expect that women will cease to be considered as subordinate to men. Let them endeavor if they please to acquire the same degree of talent but till they have acquired it let them cherish order and exercise the virtues of their actual condition in society rather than attempt to rise into a sphere for which they are not at present fitted." Also appended here is a section on the treatment and reform of criminals in which the author calls for a better understanding of the causes of crime for the requiring of prisoners to undertake useful work and courses of instruction while in prison and for the study of the prison system instituted by William Penn at Philadelphia. While the sometimes disheartening contents approach a certain fascination it's the binding here that competes for--and perhaps wins--our attention. That its fragile construction could hold up so beautifully through two centuries of use is extraordinary. Printed for Arch[ibal]d Constable & Co.; London: Hurst, Robinson & Co unknown

18382596Alnwick: M. Smith 1838. First edition. Fine. 3 page pamphet measuring 152 x 228mm. Trifolded with ownership signature of Wm. Dickson Esq to rear blank. Else an exceptionally clean and seemingly untouched copy of this rare pamphlet advocating for improvements in the early education of children. The only copy known on the market this title does not appear in the modern auction record or at any institutions according to OCLC.<br/><br/>A proposal and prospectus for an Infant School to serve the town of Alnwick and improve the overall level of education within the community. The pamphlet clarifies that the Duke of Northumberland is confirmed as the school's patron; and it outlines how donations and subsciptions from the town will add to the school's endowment. But more importantly it focuses on the communal benefits that will come from citizens' support for children's education regardless of their class. Touting the successes of other Infant Schools in England and abroad in providing "well-regulated nurseries for the children of the poorer classes" the committee also explains that " the most approved system of training will develop the physical powers and improve the health of children from two to six years of age -- to cultivate their intellectual faculties and communicate such knowledge as may be adapted to their infant capacities." The committee asserts that when the larger population begins sending children to school those children will be endowed with a desire to learn and "those attending will feel it as a punishment to be kept from the School" because school "is to the children what the actual business of life is to the man. Here the feelings are manifested and the character is developed" so that infants grow to intelligent and responsible members of the populace. Notably the committee also points out the short term benefits of developing an education system. "To the parents themselves many advantages will accrue from these Schools. Not only will their minds be relieved from much anxiety for the safety of their children but the mother free during the day from the necessity of watching over them will have an opportunity now denied to her of contributing by her labour to their support or of devoting more time to the promotion of their comfort at home." This acknowledgment reveals an important shift in thinking about the economic role of mothers and about women's need for time to accomplish their own work. A rare and important example of the spread of early childhood education and the arguments for its expansion. Fine. M. Smith unknown books
