Deuxième édition, après l?édition originale publiée à Édimbourg en 1778.Oeuvre majeure de Gilbert Stuart (1742-1786), historien écossais associé aux Lumières écossaises, A View of Society in Europe constitue une contribution importante à l?histoire conjecturale du XVIIIe siècle. Stuart y étudie la formation et l?évolution des institutions européennes, du droit, du gouvernement et des m?urs, notamment à travers l?histoire des peuples germaniques et du système féodal. Son approche, qui s?inscrit dans la tradition ouverte par Montesquieu, cherche à rendre compte du développement des sociétés par l?étude conjointe des institutions, des lois et des usages.L?ouvrage fut réimprimé en 1782, 1783, 1792 et 1813 et fut traduit en français à Paris en 1789 par Antoine-Marie-Henri Boulard, en deux volumes.Bel exemplaire dans sa reliure de l?époque.Goldsmiths? Library of Economic Literature, 11665 (pour l?édition originale de 1778).…
