First Edition. octavo, plain paper wrappers with printed paper label on front wrapper. (x), 291 pp. Middlebury College Press, "Educator, author, philologian, and bibliophile, Julian W. Abernethy bequeathed Middlebury his legacy, his library of over 5,000 volumes, which remain in the College's collection to this day. Born in New Haven, Vermont January 23, 1853, Abernethy graduated from Middlebury in 1876 and went on to earn a PhD in Anglo-Saxon and English Literature at Yale University. His passion for literature and education guided his commitment to teaching and contributing to the study of literature, earning him a Doctor of Letters. A champion of coeducation, he served as principal of the Berkeley Institute in Brooklyn, New York, a school for the education of young ladies and published extensively on the importance of education for both sexes." Very fine. octavo, plain paper wrappers with printed paper label on front wrapper.
