Good+ ESTC T62594 (with variant dedication leaf); final entry for 'Fordyce, James' in Bibliotheca Lindesiana. Vol. II, col. 3451. A bright copy of the (variant) London second edition of Scottish moral philosopher David Fordyce's popular educational allegory, with fascinating female and bibliophilic provenance: featuring the ownership inscription of Penelope Compton, later Baroness Muncaster, maternal grandmother of Alexander Lindsay, creator of the Bibliotheca Lindesiana, plus two armorial Lindsay family bookplates: a scarcer, earlier engraved ex libris, plus the Bibliotheca Lindesiana library label. The Bibliotheca Lindesiana, arguably the greatest library formed during the nineteenth century, was created by Alexander Lindsay (181280), known for most of his life as Lord Lindsay, and his son (James) Ludovic Lindsay (1847 1913), 25th and 26th Earls of Crawford and 8th and 9th Earls of Balcarres, and housed primarily at Haigh Hall, Wigan. From around 1830 Lindsay "invested huge amounts of financial capital to expand the much-depleted family library into a panoptical repository of 'the best and most valuable books, landmarks of thought and progress, in all cultivated languages, Oriental as well as European'" (ODNB). The Bibliotheca Lindesiana was dispersed in the early twentieth century; in 1901 its manuscript collections (plus Chinese and Japanese printed books) were bought by Enriqueta Rylands, becoming the foundation, alongside the 2nd Earl of Spencer's collection, of the John Rylands Library. The outstanding Crawford philately library was acquired by the British Library. Penelope Pennington, Baroness Muncaster (1744-1806; formerly Compton) was descended from "distinguished ancestors," being "the great grand-daughter of Charles, son of Spencer, 2nd Earl of Northampton [. while] Sir Edward Nicholas, Secretary of State under Charles I and Charles II, was also her great great grandfather" (Barker, 1978). When she married the soldier, Tory politician and friend of William Wilberforce, Sir John Pennington, 5th Baronet and 1st Baron Muncaster (bap. 1741-1813) in 1778 (three years after she inscribed her name in this copy of The Temple of Virtue), she "brought a large dowry and a varied inheritance," which included a number of significant books which would eventually join the Bibliotheca Lindesiana, alongside this one. The couple had three children, with their second daughter the Hon. Maria Margaret Frances (1783-1850) the only one to survive them both; in 1811 Maria married James Lindsay, Baron of Wigan, 24th Earl of Crawford and 7th Earl of Balcarres (1783-1869), becoming Countess of Crawford. The couple made Muncaster Castle their home, rather than Haigh Hall (relations were strained between Lindsay father and heir); their first son, Alexander Lindsay, was born in 1812, six years after the death of his maternal grandmother, Baroness Muncaster, who "died accidentally [in 1806] while out canvassing for her husband," for the seat of Westmoreland, but her books remained. Alongside her Second Folio of Shakespeare, "bound volumes of Civil War Tracts given to [Sir Edward] Nicholas by the King, an interesting copy of the 1568 'Bishops' Bible', and unexpe. …
