First edition of this little-known work which purports to "investigate every received philosophical opinion, bring it to the test of reason, and divest it of its errors, shielded howsoever it may be by the names of great men" (preface, p. v). Despite its noble aims, it was not received wholly favourably, with the London Literary Gazette for 1828 judging Hart to be dictatorial and condescending in his tone, "a genuine recruit in the 'march-of-intellect' system - who neither looks to the right nor left, nor any way but his own purpose - as if prejudices, like fortresses, were to be taken by assault" (p. 522). WorldCat records copies in UK and US institutions only, locating a total of six in the former (British Library, Universities of Cambridge, Glasgow, Oxford, St Andrews, and University College London) and three in the latter (Universities of Chicago, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin). Octavo (184 x 108 mm). Later blue cloth-backed drab boards, preserving the original printed label, partly unopened. Previous ownership stamp of Lawes Agricultural Trust to front pastedown, two later small ink and pencil annotations to the same, and a few early ink deletions to the text of the First Letter (pp. 1-5). Spine sunned, extremities worn and boards a little marked, endpapers faintly tanned and spotted with a few chips to top edge and fore edge of the front free endpaper, else a very good copy.
