The Peep of Day;

1837Best.-Nr. T210029This Fourth Edition dated 1837 which genuinely can be considered as a "First thus" includes a preface to the Third Edition in which the author states that she has added: "some verses illustrative of each subject". In addition to the 1833 First Edition is added "The Author's Apology". It is in effect a considerably extended "Peep" and includes within the standard pagination: "Hints for Teachers" "Questions on the lessons""Verses to be committed to memory" and finally a "List of Books for Young Children". As the author herself notes that she has endeavoured to prove every statement "either by the notes or by the references prefixed to each chapter both of which are intended solely for the use of the teacher" see page xxiv. Wiki notes as follows: According to Todd Pruzan "For the better part of the 19th century Mrs. Mortimer was something of a literary superstar to an impressionable audience both in her native England and beyond."2 The Peep of Day series was immensely popular: over 500000 copies of the original edition were issued; it went through numerous English editions; and it was published by the Religious Tract Society in thirty-seven different dialects and languages. Writing in The New Yorker on 4 March 1950 Mortimer's grandniece Rosalind Constable called the book "one of the most outspokenly sadistic children's books ever written" referring to her great aunt's belief in the need to impress upon children the pains of hell that would result from wrongdoing and the rejection of salvation." Like many women writers her books initially appeared anonymously as "By the Author of 'The Peep of Day.'" This book is in truly excellent condition. No markings previous owner's signature or annotations. It is tight in its original publishers binding with lemon curd yellow endpages and a slightly sun-faded spine. Also of note: the text is large with the lines well spaced - a coherent manual of religious instruction for the young. J. Hatchard and Son hardcover

KALLYE HUICH’AN or Gallye huichan 簡禮彙纂 Compilation of Rites for the Bamboo Slips

Best.-Nr. 84521 6 11 47 folding leaves. Large 8vo orig. yellow patterned wrappers wrappers a little soiled orig. block-printed title label on upper cover new stitching. Korea: 1870s. A rare anonymous manual for the general education of writers of classical Chinese from late ChosÅn Korea. The term “bamboo slips” originally referred to the material supports of writing in antiquity. In classical Chinese usage of later ages — and in this title — the phrase was used metonymically in reference to the implements and genres of classical Chinese writing. This book covers the four “rites” of capping marriage funerals and sacrifices. Each rite had specific genres associated with it which a reader of the book would learn to practice. Ample advice is included for writing letters to parents children teachers and friends — and words to use when referring to these individuals — as well as servants and slaves. While focused on the acquisition of everyday writing skills in classical Chinese this book brings to mind a larger genre of so-called “daily use encyclopedias” Ch.: riyong leishu 日用類書 which flourished in East Asia from at least the 16th century onward but had older antecedents. Those books provided readers even from lower social strata with information for use in a variety of areas. Our book with its national viewpoint and inclusion of elements of elite writing such as classical Chinese verse probably envisaged a rather more elite readership or at least one that had aspirations of social advancement. Who actually used this book is another question of course and the Compilation offers some hints: the pictured page from the list of “state taboos” contains marginalia that is written in part in vernacular Korean in the han’gŭl alphabet with nouns written in Chinese characters. From what we see of the text it appears that it concerns the ritual of entering the tablet of a recently deceased ancestor to the temple. This is also referred to in the printed text below in the context of the succession of kings and consorts. Vernacular writing was widely practiced within the ChosÅn elite but the brushstrokes — for whatever reason — look a bit hesitant. On the basis of the phrases used in the list to refer to the ChosÅn kings and royal consorts researchers have concluded that the edition dates from the reign of King Kojong but before the death of Queen MyÅngsÅng that is sometime between 1864 and 1895. A very good copy. Marginal worming in the final 14 leaves. Our copy agrees with the Harvard copy WorldCat accession number 40692963. unknown
