Bulmer and Co.] [1818]. 8vo, 184 x 111 mms., pp. [iv] v -xv [xvi], 104, attractively bound in later full calf, gilt border on covers, spine in blind and gilt in compartments, with vertical title, in gilt, all edges gilt; lower front joint slightly cracked, some additional rubbing of joints, but a very good copy,, with the armorial bookplate of Lieut. Geneeral Burr on the verso of the leaf opposite the title-page. Bulmerf's imprint appears on the lower margin of page 104. This work by William Higford (1580/81–1657) was first published in 1658 just after his death. "The recipient of this advice was John (b. 1627), son of Higford's son John (b. 1607), who married in 1626 Frances Scudamore (1608–1688) but predeceased his father. Higford clearly felt responsible for his grandson's upbringing. Institutions was reprinted in 1660, republished in 1666 as The Institution of a Gentleman in III Parts, and reprinted by Thomas Park in The Harleian Miscellany in 1812. The book draws on a wide-ranging classical knowledge to advise Higford's young grandson on such matters as preserving the estate, religion, education, how to act towards friends and servants, and drawing attention to the key virtues of justice, temperance, fortitude, and prudence" (ODNB). This reprint was commissioned by D. Burr and is dated 18 March 1818.
