About this Item

First edition, 3 volumes, 8vo, pp. xv, [1], 331, [1]; vi, [2], 353, [1]; [8], 357, [1]; later blue paper-covered boards, glazed green paper shelfback, printed paper labels on spines; spines rubbed, labels darkened, small cracks starting at the joints; rear board of volume III a little stained; good and sound, or better. Imprints vary slightly. Gener ostensibly is a cloistered French monk writing on the education and comportment of youth, and the impediments along the way to adulthood. I can't find anything about him and he may be Muckersy's alter ego. Muckersy (1755-1824) was the author of Old Statistical Account of West Calder, written in 1796.
