About This Item
Oxford: Printed for Fletcher and Hanwell, 1795. vi, [2], 147pp, [1]. With half-title. Disbound. A clean and crisp copy, with only the slightest of dust-soiling to half-title. As a fellow to Oxford University, Church of England clergyman John Napleton (1738/9-1817) established his reputation first as an educational reformer, calling attention to the failings of his own college, Brasenose (at which he had matriculated in 1755), and the higher education establishment as a whole. Napleton's concerns regarding the curriculum would lead him to publish several critical pamphlets. Ever one to promote the support of students and the provision good intellectual training, Napleton would subsequently produce works, as here, with the aim of preparing students seeking a pastoral office, and on the duties and conduct expected of a member of the clergy. ESTC T62742.. First edition. 8vo.
