About This Item
Dublin: Printed by John Exshaw..., 1769. FIRST DUBLIN EDITION 12mo, 164 x 92 mms., pp. [iii] iv - vi [vii section title - viii blank], 206, disbound. Thomas Mulso, the brother of his more famous sister, Hester Mulso, later Mrs. Chapone (1727 - 1801), was named after his father, also Thomas Mulso (1695 - 1763) and has largely escaped biographers. This is his only major work, first published in London in 1768, with a second edition the same year. The work garnered a very long and positive review in The Monthly Review in 1768, with an opening paragraph that many authors would kill for: "If books are to be estimated by the importance of their contents and excellence of their execution, this may justly be accounted one of the most valuable publications that have of late supported the credit of the press. The subject, the moral, the discourse, are most interesting; the language is perfectly genteel and excellent; the conduct of the dialogue is just and beautiful; the circumstances such as might infust a feeling soul into insensibility itself."
