Four volumes. Woodcut head and tail pieces. Name clipped from title pages. 12mo. Worn contemporary full leather bindings. Rollin was a brilliant educator whose most important works were written during his retirement. He was nearly sixty when he began this "Traite des Etudes", which explains his method of teaching and studying belles-lettres. It contains ideas which seem hackneyed now, but which then were new and revolutionary - for example: the necessity of studying national history; using school-books written in the vernacular; and the importance of mathematics and science in general studies. Rollin is most famous to collectors for his unfinished world history. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! FR3

Kippis, Andrew.
THE ADVANTAGES OF RELIGIOUS KNOWLEDGE. A Sermon Preached in St. Thomas's, January 1, 1756, for the Benefit of the Charity-School in Gravel-Lane, Southwark.
pp. 38 (2)[Publisher's advertisement]. 8vo. Lightly age stained. Disbound. Founded in 1687, this Charity School was situated in one of the poorest parts of London. Andrew Kippis (1725-1795) was a nonconformist divine and writer; and his association with many charitable institutions in London and Westminster enabled him to effectively promote the nonconformist cause. "His editorial connection with the `Biographia Britannica' constitutes his chief claim to remembrance. He was employed by the booksellers to prepare the second edition of that work, `with corrections, enlargements, and the addition of new lives.' When he had been engaged for some time on this task he found it too vast for him to execute alone, and Dr. Towers was appointed as his associate. Johnson told Boswell in 1777 that he had been asked to undertake the new edition of the `Biographia Britannica,' but had declined it, `which,' says Boswell, `he afterwards said to me he regretted.' Although Boswell admitted that Kippis had discharged the task judiciously, and with more impartiality than might have been expected from a separatist, he complained that the work was `too crowded with obscure dissenting teachers.'" - DNB. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!

Shute, Henry A.
THE REAL DIARY OF A REAL BOY.
pp. v, 154. 16mo. 165 mm. Unusual contemporary full cloth binding. Autograph ownership of Belle Shetter. Very good. "Ninth edition." Henry Augustus Shute (1856-1943) was a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy (1875) and Harvard University (1879). He was born and lived in Exeter, New Hampshire, where he worked as a lawyer and a judge of the municipal court. Sometime in the 1890s, He began writing for the Exeter News-Letter. His weekly stories based on recollections from boyhood were popular, however, it was not until the publication of 'The Real Diary of a Real Boy' (1902) that Shute acquired national recognition. He went on to write nineteen other books and published extensively in the Saturday Evening Post (1925-1928). Called the "Mark Twain of New England," Shute's humorous, innocent, and 'jolly' stories continue to provide valuable insight into the customs of his time and place. Tasha Tudor later (1968) illustrated this charming New England Tale. HUMOR 8
