An estimate of the manners and principles of the times. By the author of Essays on the characteristics, &c. [John Brown]. The fourth edition.
London: Printed for L. Davis, and C. Reymers, Printers to the Royal Society, 1757. 8vo. 221, [3]p. Title page in red and black. Final (advertisement) leaf 'Books printed for L. Davis and C. Reymers, Booksellers in Holborn'. 18th-century speckled calf; covers decorated with a double gold-fillet border; rebacked with new red leather title labels. Corners slightly scuffed. Lightly sprinkled red-edged leaves. 19th-century owners' names in ink on free front end-paper and on front flyleaf. "It is a vigorous indictment against the English nation. Admitting that his countrymen have still some spirit of liberty, some humanity, and some equity, he argues that their chief characteristic is 'a vain, luxurious, and selfish effeminacy.' At our schools the pupils learn words not things; university professorships are sinecures, on the grand tour, our young men learn foreign vices without widening their minds."

"Publication was delayed by what the author called 'frequent avocations' and by other excursions in the intervening years. When it finally appeared, it had an immediate success and reached seven editions by 1841.The work presents a reasonable and well balanced account of all aspects of Italian life, though the author, who was a Catholic priest, is said to have repented later of some of his more liberal expressions of opinion." - R.S.
