First public edition, a re-issue of the original sheets of the privately-issued part I with a cancel title page, with the first edition of part II, together forming Bentham's main work on education. "In 1814 Bentham became interested in a scheme, sponsored by Francis Place, James Mill, and others, to extend the Lancastrian scheme of instruction to Higher Education. He not only offered his garden as a site for the school, but characteristically sat down at once to write a 'puff' for it. But Place and Mill, knowing full well that Bentham, if left to his own devices, would end in 'writing a good-sized pamphlet if not a volume', got in first with a short prospectus of twelve pages. Bentham therefore devoted himself to a commentary on the prospectus and, when subscriptions hung fire, seems, to judge from an advertisement in the book, to have agreed to publish what he had ready. Accordingly in 1815 there appeared without his name on the title page Chrestomathia. This consisted of two elaborate Instruction Tables on the advantages and principles of the system with notes and four appendices that were ready out of a projected ten. The next year (1816) the volume appeared [as here] with a cancel title now acknowledging Bentham's authorship, and in the following year [sic] he published the fifth appendix - at least twice as long as the original volume!" (Muirhead). The title to part II is usually found in an extended version dated 1817, here the earlier 1816 issue. Chuo C1.2; Everett, p. 528; Goldsmiths' 21357; Muirhead, pp. 19-21. Octavo (212 x 130 mm). 2 large folding tables. Contemporary half pebble grained morocco and marbled boards, rebacked, spine decorated gilt. Corners worn, free endpapers renewed; a very good copy.

(Part II was published in 1817.) Bentham's only work devoted exclusively to education, "it was written in order to set out the curriculum and methods to be taught at a new secondary day school for the children of the 'middling and higher ranks in life of society.' The work grew out of the controversy on education including Bell and Lancaster in early nineteenth-century England, and was an attempt to apply the 'monitorial system' to that secondary day school" (Chou University Library). An important work, it introduced several ideas that were embodied in Bentham's Constitutional Code. Chou University Library, A Bibliographical Catalogue of the Works of Jeremy Bentham C1.
