Marbled boards with leather binding. 512 pp, plus 8 pages of index. November 1749 through April of 1750. Most likely from the collection of George Peabody, as this was purchased in a lot of others, some of which bear his signature. Containing the Peabody Institute bookplate on the inside front cover, which also states, Presented by George Peabody. George Peabody (1795-1869) is considered one of the first modern philanthropists, establishing trusts to help the poor, as well as founding the Peabody Institute. He gained much of his fortune from banking, eventually partnering with Junius Spencer Morgan, father of J.P. Morgan. Edited and published by Ralph Griffiths, the Monthly Review published works of criticism on many authors and books, providing bibliographic and historical information on many topics. Of note in this volume is a review of a work by Maillet, including lengthy excerpts, arguing that animals may have originated in the sea, a look at the work of David Jeffries that examines the properties and values of diamonds and pearls, a brief account of electrical experiments by Dr.Hale, a look at the work of De la Caille titled The Elements of Astronomy that reflects on mathematical principles from Newtonian philosophy, as well as containing several mathematical equations, A review of Tom Jones, a Foundling, articles on various religious and political pamphlets, etc. EX-LIBRARY, from the Peabody Institute.
