DARWIN (ERASMUS):

A Plan for the Conduct of Female Education in Boarding Schools.

Derby: Printed by J. Drewry;---for J. Johnson..., 1797. FIRST EDITION. 4to, 268 x 212 mms., pp. [i - vi], vii - viii [9] - 128, including half-title, engraved frontispiece (off-setting on title-page), newly rebound in quarter calf, marbled boards, gilt spine, morocco label; last two leaves (book list, apology for the work, advert for "Miss Parkers School") in facsimile. Darwin (1731 - 1802) was one of the late 18th century's polymaths and an active member of The Lunar Society as well as the Derby Philosophical Society. This work might have evolved as a result of his liaison Mary Parker, by whom he had two illegitimate children, Susan and Mary, whose school is advertised on the last page. Oxford DNB notes, "Darwin's concern with women's roles was expressed not only in his theories of reproduction, but also through his prescriptions for girls' education. He helped his illegitimate daughters, Susan and Mary Parker, to establish a boarding-school in Ashbourne in 1794. The Misses Parker also sought their father's advice on the education of young women and A Plan for the Conduct of Female Education, in Boarding Schools (1797) resulted from their urging him to make this advice publicly available. Regretting that a good education had not been generally available to women in Britain during his time Darwin drew on the theories of Locke, Rousseau, and Genlis in assembling his own educational precepts. Oriented to women in the middle ranks of the social order, the treatise reinforced contemporary conventions linking the female character to 'the mild and retiring virtues.' Darwin argued that amorous romance novels were inappropriate for young women and that they should seek simplicity in dress. Nevertheless he also proposed some reforms of contemporary practices, contending that young women should be educated in schools rather than privately at home, learn physiognomy as a basic social skill, take vigorous exercise, cultivate some knowledge of botany, chemistry, mineralogy, and experimental philosophy, familiarize themselves with recent achievements of arts and manufactures through visits to sites like Coalbrookdale, and Wedgwood's potteries, learn how to handle money, and study modern languages. Darwin's educational philosophy amplified the view that men and women should have different, but complementary capabilities, skills, spheres, and interests. His educational innovations seemed designed to make middle-class women better wives, mothers, and companions to men of industry, commerce, and natural philosophy."
