Sobre este artículo
224,[3];iv,338,[6]pp. Two volumes. Half calf and marbled boards, spines rebacked in antique style calf with gilt-lettered spines. Edges lightly word, boards rubbed. Text tanned, corners rounded. Very good. FIRST AMERICAN EDITION of James Beattie's overarching treatise on various philosophical subjects, originally printed in Edinburgh. Beattie was a professor of philosophy at Aberdeen University, and a member of the Scottish Enlightenment who promoted Common Sense philosophy. A handbook of practical ethics for Beattie's students, with a lengthy and vociferous condemnation of the institution of slavery. A very important and very difficult set to get as both volumes were published two years apart and rarely turn up together. Beattie's thoughts on slavery abolition undoubtedly resonated with American abolitionists of the time. EVANS 24081, 2663
