1770Best.-Nr. GD013564okBC2S6London: Printed for W. Strahan J. And F. Rivington R. Baldwin 1770. London: Printed for W. Strahan J. And F. Rivington R. Baldwin 1770 7th Edition 8vo. volume 1 of 4. Book bound in warn contemporary full calf leather with brown title label. Hinges cracking but holding lacking endpages. An Extraordinary 18th century association copy of Charles Rollin's foundational treatise on rhetoric and classical education. This specific title was a cornerstore text of the colonial American college curriculum. This volume boasts remarkable provenance linking it directly to the inner circle of the Early American Republic. Prominently signed at the top of the title page by Revolutionary War cavalry hero Governor of Virginia and father of Robert E. Lee Major General Henry "Light-Horse Harry" Lee 1756-1818. The signature signed Henry Lee matches known examples of Lee's autograph. Lee graduated from the College of New Jessey Princeton in 1773 a timeline that aligns perfectly with the usage of this 1770 text. Adding to the book's intrigue the upper right quadrant of the title page features a crisp hand-carved name stamp reading "A. Burr." in a well preserved reddish-brown ink. Aaron Burr 1756-1836 the 3rd U.S. Vice President graduated from Princeton in 1772 and was co-founder of the campus's American Whig Society. On the verso of the front board is a "Scholars' Library Bookplate Number 49 noting strict circulation rules "must be returned to the Librarian within a fortnight" heavily suggesting this volume served as an early collegiate or literary society textbook during the exact window Burr and Lee overlapped on campus. An interesting artifact of early American education and political history. . Signed. Seventh Edition. Hard Cover. Good/No Dust Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall. London: Printed for W. Strahan, J. And F. Rivington, R. Baldwin Hardcover

Quillau and the widow of Simon Contemporary mottled calf richly gold-tooled spines and binding edges marbled edges; only volume 11 bound as 2 volumes with slightly different tooling mottling and title-labels; all unobtrusive differences making a closely matching set. With 3 engraved maps 2 engraved folding plates and 1 engraved folding plan. 13 volumes bound as 14. ca. 600 pp. per volume Lovely set in the original French of Rollin's very popular Histoire ancienne which contrary to its full title primarily describes ancient Greece the other ancient peoples are only treated in the first two volumes. It's a mixed set from three editions published by the Estienne family in nice closely matching bindings. After the first volume appeared in 1730 the series grew well beyond its initially planned five volumes and became tremendously popular appearing in numerous editions and translations well into the 19th century. Rollin organised a narrative closely based on a wide variety of ancient sources. While this copying was heavily criticized Rollin also distinguished himself with his concern for moral issues. "The prominent lens through which Rollin viewed history was that of virtue corrupted by power and this was the main approach that he tested in his Greek history. In the process moreover he carved and unprecedented space for Greek antiquity" Lianeri.The set is in very good condition with a few leaves browned and a few minor spots and stains. The binding only have some minor wear along the extremities and are also in very good condition.l Brunet IV col. 1360; Graesse VI p. 151; cf. A.
