1798ref. 17365Philadelphia: Printed by John Omrod 1798 First American edition of this educational classic that shows the influence of Rousseau on the work of Erasmus Darwin 1731 – 1802. First published in London the previous year. Included in this edition is an American printing of Mrs. M. Peddle's Rudiments of Taste a popular conduct book was first published in London in 1789 and in the United States in 1790. Contemporary tree sheep with red morocco spine label. Gilt-ruled spine. Twelvemo. Separate title-page for Mrs. M. Peddle's The Rudiments of Taste. Some wear to binding and a couple cracks to sheep on upper board. Quite a fresh copy despite some foxing to first few leaves and some slight toning throughout. A very good tight copy of a fragile book. Darwin wrote the present work after helping his daughters Susan and Mary Parker establish a boarding school for young women in 1794. Here he draws on the theories of Rousseau Locke and Genlis to advocate for the education of women in schools in topics like philosophy the natural sciences history art manufacturing and language. Darwin believed that women should be educated for the purpose of becoming better wives and companions to men but promoted progressive notions that women's education would take place in well-resourced schools rather than in the home and that women should be educated in the concepts of finance industry and manufacturing. In Peddle's The Rudiments of Taste "Classical influence blends with Christian…Peddle recommends reading ancient and modern history travels biography science and good poetry not novels which leave their readers incapable of 'relishing anything superior'" Blain Grundy and Clements eds.

Numerous handwritten notes on the last 2 ll. of the 1st text. Bound in blind-stamped pigskin over wooden boards brass clasps. Contemporary binding. Collection in quite rare and very early editions of 3 important founding works of the Renaissance in philology and grammar by Erasmus and by his master Laurent Valla. Laurent Valla "the greatest humanist of the first half of the 15th century" was born in Rome around 1407. Guilio Vallese. "Deeply convinced of the superiority of the antique culture renewed at the time in which he saw an incomparable ferment of regeneration Valla in order to defend it didn't hesitate to take the chance of being condemned in front of the Inquisition court. As other humanists of this time he claimed to be of the rationalist moral antique transmitted in the books of Wisdom when the Middle Ages had impoverished or lost the very meaning of it." Valla's most famous treatise "Des élégances de la langue latine"that had most contributed to his reputation in six books was quickly given in every school and kept on being a teaching text for the greatest part of the 16th century. Erasmus who professes many times in his letters a vivacious admiration for the author and for this particular work had made in his youth an extract for his personal use which was printed twice without his consent. Valla's observations are about the value of certain forms of words about the value of several difficult terms and even more about the synonymy of the Latin language. This work proves a great sagacity of researches and a great judgment. "King Alphonse who really liked this kind of studies didn't get tired of hearing Valla and let him sometimes battling with Antoine de Parlerme "inde ivae". He gave him a diploma enriched with a golden speech bubble in which he declared him illustrious in almost every science as well as in poetics." Are joined to this major work of Valla the two great founding texts it inspired to Erasmus: -The first oneDe Conscribendis epistolis in the second edition from Strasbourg of 1525. It was such a success that it was after this one reprinted 77 times in the 16th century alone. -The second one De Constructione octo partium orationis libellus printed for the first time in 1514 is here in the edition printed on August 11th 1523 at Sigismon Grim. It was followed by 61 editions in the 16th century alone. A magnificent copy with wide margins preserved in its first blind-stamped binding; the clasps and ties are intact. It comes from the collections Jacob Campana andGaspar Campana and bears these two handwritten ex-libris "Jacobi Campanae et Amicorum 1530" and "Gaspari Campanae et Amicorum". The Campanas illustrious Neapolitan family counted César Campana among their members a fine erudite from the 16th century. Français Argentorati Iohannem Heruagium 1525. Suivi de : Erasme.

Nombreuses annotations manuscrites sur les 2 derniers ff. du 1er texte. Relié en peau de truie estampée à froid sur ais de bois dos à nerfs attaches et fermoirs de laiton. Reliure de l'époque. 148 x 100 mm. Réunion en éditions fort rares et très précoces de trois grands textes fondateurs de la Renaissance en philologie et grammaire d'Erasme et de son maître Laurent Valla. Laurent Valla " le plus grand humaniste de la première moitié du XVe siècle " naquit à Rome vers 1407. Guilio Vallese. " Profondément convaincu de la supériorité de la culture antique alors renaissante dans laquelle il voyait un ferment incomparable de régénération Valla pour la défendre n'hésita pas à courir le risque d'une condamnation devant le tribunal de l'Inquisition. Comme d'autres humanistes de ce temps il se réclamait de l'antique morale rationaliste transmise dans les livres de la Sagesse dont le Moyen Age avait appauvri ou perdu la signification même. " Le traité le plus célèbre de Valla qui avait le plus contribué à sa réputation" Des élégances de la langue latine " en six livres se répandit rapidement dans toutes les écoles et continua de faire texte d'enseignement pendant la plus grande partie du XVIe siècle. Erasme qui professe en beaucoup d'endroits de ses lettres une vive admiration pour l'auteur et pour cet ouvrage en particulier en avait fait dans sa jeunesse un extrait pour son usage qui fut imprimé deux fois sans son consentement. Les observations de Valla portent sur la valeur de certaines formes de mots sur celle de plusieurs termes difficiles et plus encore sur les synonymies de la langue latine. Ce travail atteste une grande sagacité de recherches et un rare discernement. " Le roi Alphonse auquel ce genre d'études plaisait singulièrement ne se lassait pas d'entendre Valla et le mettait quelquefois aux prises avec Antoine de Parlerme " inde ivae ". Il lui donna un diplôme enrichi d'une bulle d'or dans laquelle il le déclarait illustre en presque toutes les sciences ainsi qu'en la poétique. " Sont joints à cette œuvre phare de Valla les deux grands textes fondateurs qu'elle inspire à Erasme : -Le premierDe Conscribendis epistolis dans la seconde édition strasbourgeoise de 1525. Son succès fut tel qu'elle fut après celle-ci réimprimée 77 fois pour le seul XVIe siècle. -Le second texteDe Constructione octo partium orationis libellus imprimé pour la première fois en 1514 est ici dans l'édition achevée d'imprimer le 11 août 1523 chez Sigismon Grim. Elle fut suivie de 61 éditions pour le seul XVIe siècle. Magnifique exemplaire à belles marges conservé dans sa première reliure estampée à froid dont les fermoirs et les attaches sont conservés intacts. Il provient des bibliothèques Jacob Campanaet Gaspar Campana et porte ces deux ex-libris manuscrits " Jacobi Campanae et Amicorum 1530 " et " Gaspari Campanae et Amicorum ". Les Campana illustre famille napolitaine comptèrent parmi leurs membres César Campana fin lettré du XVIe siècle. hardcover

In 1509 Erasmus composed his famous essay as a satirical attack on superstitions and other unconventional traditions in European society. Since its inception it has been considered one of the most important works of the Renaissance and helped develop early stages of the Protestant Reformation. Erasmus uses satire to examine doctrine and corruption within the Catholic Church even though he was devoted deeply to Catholicism. He concludes with statements supporting Christian Protestantism and frequently references Greek mythological creatures and figures. Early printing of this popular translation from Latin into French.
