Aggiungi al carrelloESTC notes five copies in North America. [4], iv, 128, 169-184 pp. (text continuous). Original pale blue wrappers, a bit dusty, some wear to spine. A fine copy, uncut and partially unopened. Second edition, with significant additions; first published in 1721 (98 pp. only). ESTC catalogues this work as if it were essentially a tr…anslation of Tanneguio Le Fvre's essay (his "Methode court et facile pour apprendre les humanits Grecque et Latines," which is included, but the book is in fact an original treatise on the teaching of languages by an accomplished linguist of Welsh descent who was employed for a time as a tutor to the children of George II. Philipps followed this work in 1726 with his Essay towards a Universal and Rational Grammar. With a new two-page "advertisement to the reader," explaining some of the changes for this edition. The excerpts from Ascham and Locke have been added, as have several other short pieces translated from the French; of particular interest is the inclusion of the full text of Milton's Of Education Alston X, 167. cf.
