FIRST EDITION of William Paley s first major contribution to philosophical thought. Originally formulated on the basis of his hugely popular lectures on moral philosophy at Christ s College, Cambridge. Between 1766-1776, Paley wrote and published his Principles of Moral and Political Economy shortly after becoming Archdeacon of Carlisle in 1782. Paley's Principles of Moral and Political Philosophy, first published in 1785, played a seminal role in the dissemination of utilitarianism in England. Adopted as an integral part of the curriculum at Cambridge University, the Principles helped shape the political thinking of England s intellectual elite well into the nineteenth century. It has laid the foundation of the Moral Philosophy of many hundreds probably thousands of Youth while under a course of training designed to qualify them for being afterwards the Moral instructors of Millions, Archbishop Whately wrote in 1859; such a work therefore cannot fail to exercise a very considerable and extensive influence on the Minds of successive generations. As late as 1933, John Maynard Keynes called Paley s Principles an immortal book. Paley was born in Peterborough, England in 1743 and died in Peterwearmouth, England in 1805. A desirable copy of this work.
