Description:
London: Printed for J. Murray..., 1773. 8vo, 211 x 127 mms., pp. [iv], xxii, 312, including half-title, contemporary calf; binding dried, piece of leather missing from lower front corner, joints very slightly cracked. John Millar (1735 - 1801), Professor of Civil Law at the University of Glasgow, is a good example of an author whose reputation flourished during his lifetime, and who thereafter virtually disappeared from the map of intellectual history. Observations concerning the Distinction of Ranks in Society was first published in an attractive quarto by John Murray in London in 1771; a Dublin edition was published in the same year by Thomas Ewing with Murray's consent and collaboration. A second edition, "greatly enlarged," followed in 1773, and for the third edition, "corrected and enlarged" of 1779, Millar revised the title to The Origin of the Distinction of Ranks: Or, An Enquiry into the Circumstances which Give Rise of Influence and Authority in the Different…

London: Printed for Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown, and Green, 1831. FIRST EDITION. Tall 8vo, 225 x 143 mms., pp. vii [viii blank], 214, original boards, uncut, paper label on spine, which is worn with joints slightly tender The great friend of Horace Walpole, Mary Berry (1763 - 1852) and her sister, Agnes (17641852), were well-educated and well-travelled: Walpole described them as "the best informed and the most perfect creatures I ever saw at their age." The present book is a sequel to an earlier one, A Comparative View of the Social Life of England and France from the Restoration of Charles the Second to the French Revolution, published in 1828. The Oxford DNB conludes its entry with this assessment: "Scholars have now drawn attention to her letters and journals, for the light they throw on women's history, but her own published books remain neglected. An introspective and often melancholy temperament shows through in all her writings, but it is her correspondence with…
