First Edition
Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Stated "Third Pre-Edition." small quarto. 327pp. Incomplete? (See below). Clothbacked card covers toned and worn with a brief note inked on the cover, two multipage passages underlined in ink, 10 instances of paperclip creases in the text with corresponding oxidation marks, sound and near very good. Appears to be complete as bound, but the final printed page ends with an incomplete sentence; as we have not been able to locate another copy in *OCLC* or the trade, we are unsure if this is complete as issued or, if not, how much of the text is lacking. Chapters are dedicated to Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Hume, Montesquieu, Marx, Paine, Dewey, Rousseau, and the final hundred or so pages to The Federalist. According to his obituary, Mavrinac was a decorated WWII veteran, educator, governmental affairs expert, Democratic activist and advisor, who taught at Colby College, the University of Pittsburgh, Harvard, Wellesley College, the American University, and as a Fulbright Lecturer at the Universities of Rennes and Montpellier.
