FEDER, Johann Georg Heinrich. Der Neue Emil oder von der Erziehung nach bewhärten Grundsätzen. Erlangen: Wolfgang Walther, 1768. 8vo. [viii], 300, [1, errata], [2, blank] pp. Contemporary sprinkled boards, edges stained red. THE RARE FIRST EDITION.
Some minor wear to binding, some light soiling to title-page and fp. Fine.
This is not a Rousseauean sequel to Emile, as the title might suggest, but a novel and a handbook for modern pedagogues, which ran into several editions. Feder added another book with the same title in 1774, but this work is complete in itself, as intended. In the preface he expresses the view that "Rousseau's Emile does not deserve to be burnt, but to be cauterized and moulded into a new work." Feder was also critical of Hume, preferring the Common Sense school of Reid and Beattie. OCLC lists six copies in Germany, and one each in France, the Netherlands, and Sweden, but no copy in the English-speaking world.
