The widow of Philip Dormer Stanhope, Fourth Earl of Chesterfield, Eugenia Stanhope (?1729 - ?1783) shepherded his Letters through the press in 1774, mainly because her husband had left her nothing in his will. She published this work first in 1790, and this 1798 edition is partly revised from the two editions published in 1790, neither of which has the dedication leaves.

Description:
London: Printed by A. Strahan...for J. White...and Cadell and Davies..., 1800. 2 volumes. 8vo, pp. xv [xvi blank], 461 [462 blank, 463 adverts, 464 blank]; xii, 546, including half-title in each volume, contemporary half calf, morocco labels, marbled boars; lacks numbering pieces, label on volume 1 defective, some of marbled paper missing from edges of boards, slight evidence of damp on end-papers. Gisborne's enquiry is wide-ranging, taking in the duties of the Sovereign, of Englishmen in general, members of the government, the military, the legal profession, the clerical profession, physicians, and businessmen. A commentary on David Hume's essay on miracles creeps into this discussion of the duties of physicians, and he judiciously cites Adam Smith when writing about the duties of persons engaged in trade and business.

Giles Jacob (bap. 1686, d. 1744) made his reputation as a legal scholar, but he published a number of other works, but he also published a witty work parodying Alexander Pope's The Rape of the Lock; Jacob gave his parody the title The Rape of the Smock. This work is also of some lasting importance for law and legal history. writes, The Language of Law and the Foundations of American Constitutionalism (2010), Gary L. McDowell writes, "The most clearly Lockean work is a small work entitled Essays Relating to the Conduct of Life. In many ways, the Essays is an unremarkable work. But there are two reasons why it is of interest. First, teachings of Jacob seeks to instil through…
