Item Details

Description

Very early American textbook written and published by Caleb Bingham. Bingham was an educator and textbook author from New England. The American Preceptor is similar to The Columbian Orator in its content. Selections (often about two pages in length) draw attention to the evils of slavery, the importance of clemency toward the unfortunate (including one's captive enemies), personal virtue and industry, religious tolerance, and the education of girls. Some stories recite the acts of a virtuous American Indian, African, Moor, Catholic, or other person—sometimes in contrast to a less virtuous white or Christian character. Bingham also takes aim at characters who care more about fashion, entertainments, or lapdogs than about honest labor, solid education, and duties within the household. Unusual binding of paper over wood boards with quarter leather spine. Covers rough with some paper missing on front, front joint split at top and bottom and foot of spine missing about an inch of leather. Hinges holding, though. One signature pulled at bottom. 4.5 x 6.75. 228 pp.
