Sobre este artículo
Bath: Printed by R. Cruttwell, 1801 First edition.(A second edition was published in the same year.). Contemporary tree calf. Gilt spine with dark blue morocco spine label. Blue speckled edges. . Octavo. Darkening to top edge. Quite clean overall despite some light occasional foxing and some toning toning. A very good, attractive, and wide copy of this important book by pioneer of educational theory in Britain. The present work details the theories of Elizabeth Hamilton (1758 – 1808) on the roles of gender, scholarship, religion, and parenting in British education, and the influence of proper education on societal development. She also writes on education, religion, and culture in areas she considered to be "savage," i.e., South Asia and parts of Africa. Hamilton's observations of India are based on her own travels there.

Sobre Michael R. Thompson, Booksellers, ABAA/ILAB
Our office is located in Los Angeles on West Third Street, between the Beverly Center and Farmer's Market. Though we gave up an open shop after more than thirty years, we welcome serious customers and dealers. We are normally open from 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday. Since some of our less expensive books are located in a temperature-controlled storage area offsite, you may want to call ahead of time to insure that the book you want to see will be available. We feature a stock strong in literature, history, Western philosophy, women's studies, education, history of science and fine printing and artists' books. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. We have books from the 15th to the 20th century in all prices ranges. We do appraisals for income tax and insurance purposes. We purchase individual books and libraries. Proprietor: Carol Sandberg
