About this Item
324pp. Original sheep. Spine chipped and worn, hinges cracked, front board nearly detached. Foxing throughout. Withal, in decent condition. In a cloth case, leather label. Robinson's essays are written in the guise of the thoughts and debates of a Creek sage named Piomingo. Much of the text consists of arguments between whites and Piomingo over differing philosophies, making this a fascinating view of the "Noble Savage" and a satire on contemporary mores. First published in Philadelphia in 1810, it was evidently popular enough to go through several editions, of which this frontier-ish printing in Knoxville, at the time of Indian removal, is both exotic and notable.
