The scientist Richard Lovell Edgeworth (1744 1817), educated at
Trinity College, Dublin, and Oxford, was a Member of the Lunar
Society of Birmingham, where he exchanged ideas with other
scientists, including James Watt, and was known for his significant
mechanical inventions. However, Edgeworth's real interest was
education: in this 1788 two-volume work, written with his daughter,
the poet Maria Edgeworth (1768 1849), he draws on his own
experience of raising twenty children (by his four wives), from
which the work derives its authority and innovative character. The
work was very influential, and led to his Essays on Professional
Education (1809; also reissued in this series). The two volumes
discuss the theories of philosophers and educationalists, while in
general arguing for the importance and formative character of early
childhood experiences. Volume 1 deals with different areas of
childhood education, including play, learning, and obedience and
good behaviour.
