What Our Customers Say...
Description
Leather Binding
A small pocket book containing Hester Chapone's widely praised 'Letters on the Improvement of the Mind' together with John Gregory's 'A Father's Legacy to his Daughters'.
Bound in full tree calf.
With a frontispiece and title page engraving.
Chapone's 'Letters' were originally written for her niece in 1773 and focused on encouraging rational understanding through the reading of the Bible, history and literature. Paired with the height of popularity for this genre of self-improvement books, the work went through numerous editions.
'A Father's Legacy' was written by Dr Gregory after the death of his wife in 1761, wishing to honour her memory and record his thoughts on female education. It also became a best-seller, going through many editions and translations.
