Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book of nearly 150 letters explores various historical, literary, and philosophical topics. Rooted in 18th-century Enlightenment ideals, the author examines subjects including fame, suicide, anti-cruelty to animals, education, marriage, gender inequality, satire, and more. The aut…hor often takes controversial stances, but does so with wit and nuance. The author argues, for example, that suicide is never justified and that women are entitled to the same rights and respect as men. Some topics are treated humorously, while others are handled in a more serious manner. The author is well-read and draws upon ancient Greek and Roman sources to support his arguments. Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book is sure to appeal to a wide range of readers interested in delving into philosophical and literary topics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. London and York, small octavo (16.5 x 10.5 cm), [vi], 319 p. ***CONTENT: Writing under the pseudonym "Fitzosborne", William Malmouth (c. 1710-1799) was an English essayist and translator. In this volume, the author dispenses his observations, opinion and counsel on myriad subjects: civil behavior…, morality, friendship, the 'weariness of life', comforting the distress of others, happiness in retirement, the comparative merit of the two sexes, the passions, marriage, religion, the arts, the writings of antiquity, the love of one's country, and much more. ***CONDITION: This is a complete, VG copy bound in contemporary full brown calf, with gilt ruling and a gilt-lettered, maroon leather title label on the backstrip. The covers are quite well preserved, but rubbed and edgeworn; spine label lettering bright and complete. Joints tender but holding, hinges solid, binding firm. Blue sprinkled text edges. The text pages are typically fresh, clean, crisp and bright. ***PROVENANCE: This volume is from the personal library of Benjamin Silliman, Sr. The elder Silliman (1779-1864), a pioneering and highly influential early American educator and scientist, was also a venerable professor of chemistry and geology at Yale College, and founder of the American Journal of Science. The professor has signed this book in two places. "B. Silliman" is inked on the front pastedown, and the title page bears the following penned inscription: "B. Silliman from his friend John Gorham." Gorham (1783-1829) was a Harvard-educated physician and later professor of chemistry and mineralogy in Cambridge. Signed volumes from Silliman's library are exceedingly uncommon; this is a sound, attractive copy with an important association. International shipping will be extra for this volume, but only at my cost.
