Havens, among other book-collecting interests, collected the publications of the Strawberry Hill Press, this is one of the few from his personal collection which is now available. The scan shows the spine & front cover. Havens' lists this famous title at page 77 of his book as: "1764 Life of Edward, Lord Hebert of Cherbury. Small quarto. 200 copies printed.", and says at p. 40 of his work: Prat also printed a short Life of Lord Herbert of Cherbury, written by himself, a quarto, which Walpole declared to be by far the most curious and entertaining book that his press had produced. It was the thing most in fashion; people were mad after it, he believed because only two hundred were printed.

First Edition
4to. pp. 4 p.l., 272. complete with half-title. A fine large copy, bound in full red straight-grained morocco by Lewis, gilt back & inside dentelles, all edges gilt (spine sunned). First Edition of this treatise on education, published from an anonymous manuscript in the Bodleian Library and attributed to Lord Herbert of Cherbury. The essay deals chiefly with the need of reforming religious instruction in accordance with the religious theories set forth by Herbert in the De Religione Gentilium (1663). ".the pupil is advised to start with reason before proceeding to a faith that is clear and evident to all mankind. What proceeds from reason leads to truth, but what proceeds from faith leads only to belief. Virtue is extolled as the fundamental part of worship, along with contrition for sins committed." (Mossner, Encyc. of Philosophy) Rand I 257.
