The Rule of Life.

(Juvenile.) PHILOLOGUS (pseud.)

The Rule of Life.

A collection of select moral sentences, extracted from the greatest authors, ancient and modern, and digested under proper heads. Carefully corrected and revised.

Description: a bit browned in places, pp. [vi, including the 2-pp. Contents, called for at the end], 258, 12mo, slightly later half green roan, worn at extremities, and with small sections of the spine at either end re-attached, copious marginal lines in blue crayon, others in red, and some pencil, sound

Publication Details: Berwick: Printed by and for W. Phorson, and B. Law, London, 1783

Notes: A rare provincially printed compendium of moral precepts, evidently studied with assiduity at some point. The binding at first sight would appear to be contemporary, but the staining from the turn-ins does not correspond, and the endleaves are definitely of a later date. ESTC records copies at BL, C, NLS; Toronto (but not in the Osborne Catalogue) and Western Ontario.
