Strings to schoolchildren. Work intended for the education of the youth, by examples of charity & virtue. Paris, Leroy, 1789. Petit in-12 of xii-204 pp. Red morocco, ornate smooth spine, gilt title, triple gilt fillet framing the covers, roulette on the cups and the hunts, gilt tr., light blue tabis guards (contemporary binding). Work already published in 1787 and 1788, with a slightly different title: "... A work that would inspire in them a love of study and charity". Mercure de France, January 3, 1789, p. 47: "The idea of this collection is a happy one; we have already said it, & it may be useful to young people. The Editor appears to be taking care of it, & the collection will become interesting, if those who are worthy of contributing to it, wish to make it fruitful by depositing some of the fruits of their work.". Nice copy. (2 detached leaves.) (M. Manson, Les livres pour la jeunesse sous la Révolution, 161.1.)
