Publisher's Synopsis

A Plan For The Conduct Of Female Education, In Boarding Schools, Private Families, And Public Seminaries (1798) is a book written by Erasmus Darwin, a physician, scientist, and grandfather of Charles Darwin. The book provides a comprehensive guide for the education of young women in various settings, including boarding schools, private homes, and public institutions. Darwin argues that women should receive a well-rounded education that includes not only traditional subjects such as reading, writing, and arithmetic, but also physical education, music, and the arts. He also emphasizes the importance of moral and religious education, and encourages women to develop their intellectual capacities in order to become active and engaged members of society. The book is considered a landmark in the history of women's education, and has been praised for its progressive ideas and practical advice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
