A propos de cet article

A FATHER'S LEGACY TO HIS DAUGHTERS Dr John Gregory. Printed for T Cadell and W Davies. by Wood & Innes, London 1808 New Edition 142pp Hardback. London - Printed for T Cadell & W Davies by Wood & Innes, London.Doctor John Gregory's work on the principles of female education, which provoked a strong reaction from his contemporary, Mary Wollstonecraft. Bound in leather with ornate gilt banding and detail. An early 19th century original binding. Ornate marbelling to paste downs and endpapers with matching marbellings to page edges all round. John Gregory (1724 1773) was an eighteenth-century Scottish physician, medical writer and moralist. In what would become his most famous publication, Gregory wrote Father's Legacy to his Daughters (1761) after the death of his wife in 1761 in order to honour her memory and record her thoughts on female education. Originally Gregory meant only to give the text to his daughters when he died, but his son James published it in 1774; it became a bestseller, going through many editions and translations. In writing this work, he may have been influenced by the celebrated Bluestocking Elizabeth Montagu. The text advises parents and women on religion, moral conduct, friendship and interactions with men, with a focus on marriage. He suggested that women refrain from exposing any learning that they might have, as this would damage their ability to attract a husband. Mary Wollstonecraft would later viciously attack these principles in A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), arguing that Gregory's advice amounted to nothing more than deceit on the part of women. The full leather covers to this copy show considerable sigs of wear, the front board is almost detatched however apart from a neat copper plate inscription with a contemporary date the stock is unmarked and both tight and bright.
