Sobre este artículo
London: Printed for T. Longman, and G. Robinson..., 1783. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, 211 x 121 mms., pp. [ii], 360, contemporary calf, red leather label; "BOND" in purple capitals on front free end-paper, lacks half-title, front joint amateurishly repaired. Andrews (?1736 - 1809) published a number of now forgotten works in his lifetime and enjoyed a mixed reputation, with the Gentleman's Magazine commenting on his death in 1809 that the "Nation is deprived of an able historian, a profound scholar and politician, and a man ever ready to take up his pen in his Country's cause"; while the journal Beau Monde described him as as "middling writer" (ODNB). The Monthly Review for 1783 was lukewarm: "In this performance Dr. Andrews entertains his readers with descriptive detains and observations, on a subject which will forever engage a considerable share of attention. The female character is so inspiring a theme, that it would be almost impossible for a writer of abilities inferior to those of our Author, not to offer many remarks which must both amuse and interest the Public. We cannot, however, say that, in our opinion, Dr. A. has treated his subject with all that acuteness, or depth of penetration, which the philosopher will look for."
