A SUPERB TREE CALF BINDING IN THE FRENCH STYLE
Tarascon,: Elisee Aubanel, 1819.
4 vols., small 8vo (7" tall). Full contemporary tree calf, with twin black labels. Gilt bands with attractive gilt tooling to panels. Speckled edges. Slightly creased on spine.
A very handsome binding in full tree calf. French historian and educationist, Charles Rollin's Traite des Etudes (1726-31) was a highly original and important summary of a reformed and innovative system of education, which abandoned the medieval traditions that still remained in the French system. Still in print today, this title remains a significant work nearly three hundred years after it was first published.
