About this Item

Vindicae Gallicae Defence of The French Revolution and Its English Admirers Against the Accusations of The Right Honorable Edmund Burke; Including some Strictures on the Late Production of Mons.

Moderate wear to extremities with scuffing to corners and edges. Corners rubbed to board. Irregular staining to surface of leather with numerous abrasions. Spine abraded with wear along joints.

Even toning throughout with heavy foxing at times and intermittent age staining. Dampness staining to rear fly. Please see photos. James Mackintosh (1765-1832) was a Scottish jurist, Whig politician and Whig historian. He first published this work in April 1791 as a reply to Edmund Burke s Reflections on the Revolution in France. It won him the admiration and friendship of some of the most distinguished men of the time. He was called to the bar in 1795 and gained considerable reputations there as a good lawyer. The poet Thomas Campbell claimed that had it not been for Mackintosh s book, Burke s anti-revolutionary options would have become universal amongst the educated classes and that he ensured that he became the apostle of liberalism . Includes inscriptions from Captain James Conn and Raphael M. Conn (1805-1887) expressing pacifist, Pro-Jefferson and Pro-Jackson views. Raphael writes, we believe, on secession from the Union.
