The novelist and essayist Elizabeth Hamilton (1756? 1816) wrote
with especial distinction on the subject of education. Inspired by
her older brother, the orientalist Charles Hamilton, she pursued
her literary ambitions, informing her work with a knowledge of
history, philosophy and politics. Her ability to present complex
ideas in an accessible manner did much to secure her an
appreciative readership. Establishing her reputation with a
satirical attack on radical thought, Memoirs of Modern Philosophers
(1800), she enjoyed her greatest literary success with The
Cottagers of Glenburnie (1808), a tale of moral reformation. Her
Letters on the Elementary Principles of Education (1801) is also
reissued in this series. The present work was first published in
two volumes in 1818 by her friend and fellow novelist Elizabeth
Benger (1775 1827). Volume 1 includes a biographical fragment by
Hamilton, along with a selection of journal extracts and satirical
essays."
