Item description from seller

An Essay on the Natural Equality of Men; on the Rights that Result From It, and on the Duties Which It Imposes. To Which a Silver Medal Was Adjudged by the Teylerian Society at Haarlem, April 1792, Corrected and Enlarged, By William Lawrence Brown, D.D., The Second American Edition, Printed and Published by John Wallis, Newark, 1802, 141 pp plus contents, full original leather, 6.75 x 4.5”, 18mo. In as-is condition. Binding copy. Both board detached and quite worn. Desiccated surface with numerous defects to leather. Ex-library of the Mechanic’s Library Association of Lancaster, PA. Old hand ownership of M. Dickson beneath library plate. Front flyleaf detached from binding. End papers soiled with age-staining and brittle edges. Text is relatively bright with minor toning. A few instances of staining. Free of known markings. Binding remains intact. Please see photos. A very interesting work. Brown argues that equality based not on talent or virtue, but on obligation and “mutual dependence.” He gives no credit to the idea of evoulutionary self-transformation, but he is optimistic that man is qualified for endless improvements in knowledge and virtue, and the happiness which he attains will exactly correspond to the degrees of his progress. ***** FORN0756 HKVAR1223.
