Sobre este artículo
Hardback. Good. Printed for T Longman in Pater-Noster-Row, [London], 1762, first edition (but see later); 8vo, pp xx, 371 plus page of list of books printed for Thomas Longman; contemporary calf, both boards detached and the one mismatched in design with the other, spine good but with some small loss head and foot so a copy in need of binding repair; bottom corner of front free end paper missing but the book block complete, firm and with good margins although with a little light dust soiling here and there, particularly on the title page where exposed at the foot. Although this is indeed a first edition under this particular title the work was earlier printed 1750 as "The Reflector Representing Human Affairs As They Are and May Be Improved ... " Other than for the title and, hence, title page, this Longman reprint appears to be identical to the earlier edition right down to the list of books at the end. Shaw, 1694-1763 was an English physician, translator and writer on a wide range of subjects who from 1752 was a physician and medical attendant to George II. The work discourses elegantly on a wide range of subjects under the four main sections of Literature and Education, of Intercourse and Business, of Government and Laws, and of Religion and Revelation.
