First Edition, Leather Binding, Rebound, Very Scarce
The vanishingly scarce first edition. In a half calf binding with marbled boards. A social science book by Hugh Murray exploring the character of nations and the progress of society. With sections on family life, wars, free nations and religion. Hugh Murray was a Scottish geographer and author. He was editor of the Scots Magazine, and featured in 'John Paterson's Mare', the satire on the Edinburgh publishing scene. Murray wrote numerous books regarding geography and travel. This is one of his only two philosophical treatises published. A scarce and important work in the history of anthropological thought. Sabin 51503.
