Description:
Boston: Roberts Brothers, 1905/ First edition. In the preface, Dall writes that the present work was the only published record of Fuller's "conversations" at the time.. Publisher's olive-green cloth stamped in gilt. . Octavo. Smudge to back cover and light rubbing to extremities. Minor foxing to edges and endpapers. A very good, clean, and tight copy. Margaret Fuller (1810 – 1850) was a Transcendentalist writer and the author of Woman in the Nineteenth Century (1845), which is considered the first major feminist work written in America. In 1840, she took the helm of The Dial, the new Transcendentalist quarterly; a month later, she began hosting her "conversations," during which Boston intellectuals, mostly women, joined to discuss literature, art, philosophy, abolitionism, and women's rights.

Description:
Edinburgh: Printed by Murray & Cochrane. For T. Cadell., 1786 First edition. Contemporary marbled boards, rebacked and recornered in recent calf, gilt flat spine with burgundy morocco label. . Quarto. With the printed presentation leaf to Richard Bishop of Worcester, before the title-page. Verso of title-page with two old rubberstamps of St. Andrews University, one for deaccession. A very good copy. David Dalrymple, third baronet, Lord Hailes (1726-1792) was a Scottish advocate, judge, and historian. His best known work was his Annals of Scotland (1776-9). In the present work, he attacked Gibbon over his account of the effect of Christianity on the decline of the Roman empire. Controversial when it was published, it was a minor blow in the ongoing controversy between theological traditionalists such as Hailes and more liberal thinkers, led by David Hume.
