MOORE (JOHN HAMILTON)

The Young Gentlemen and Ladies Monitor, and English Teacher's Assistant, FIRST EDITION, lacks advertisement before title, contemporary sheep, worn, upper cover detached [ESTC T177707, citing 4 copies only], 8vo, Printed for the Editor, and Sold by Mess Richardson and Urquhart, [1773?]

Footnotes

Rare first edition of a work "calculated to eradicate vulgar prejudices and rusticity of manners... particularly adapted for the use of our eminent schools", ESTC citing only 4 copies. In the preface the author warns that "the greatest part of our British Youth lose their figure, and grow out of fashion, by the time they are five and twenty... [and] lie by the rest of their lives, among the lumber and refuse of the species", a situation he believes can be rectified by proper education and the pursuit of knowledge. The book found a readership, subsequently being reprinted five times in England prior to 1800, and also in New York in 1790.

Provenance: Charles White, 7 April 1773, ownership inscription on front free endpaper, with name repeated on lower free endpaper. The date of the inscription is a day later than the ownership inscription in the British Library Copy, which ESTC uses to identify the suggested publication date of this first edition.
