Born in Ulster to a family of Scottish Presbyterians, he was Professor of Moral Philosophy at Glasgow University and is remembered as author of A System of Moral Philosophy. He was an important influence on the works of several significant Enlightenment thinkers, including David Hume and Adam Smith. His influence is believed by some to have been behind the appeals to sentiment that Jefferson put into his draft of the Declaration of Independence. Hutcheson was known to have a great love for the classics, which he later attributed to his formative years in Glasgow, where he had his ?first taste of the immortal sublimities of Homer and Virgil.? An interesting and perhaps important little volume in a fine Irish binding - one of Grierson's pocket classics. (?) Bound by Grierson's binder. *For a similar Irish binding, see item 135, Maggs catalogue 966 Bookbinding in Great Britain 16th to the 20th century, Summer 1975, ( description only ). *Sigurd Wandel (22 February 1875 ? 3 June 1947) was a Danish painter who became director of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.…
