1821rif. ST20285Edinburgh: 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. 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. 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

Front pastedown with bookplate of John A. Seaverns; front free endpaper with ownership signature of John Stevens dated 31 January 1833. Cloth somewhat faded slight fraying at tail of upper joint label a bit scuffed contents with occasional small stains one marginal tear and browning to a handful of leaves but an extremely well-preserved copy of a fragile book very clean and the condition issues all quite minor. In its original publisher's binding and from a major collection this is an excellent copy of the first American printing of an influential work on education.
