L. Shirreff" underneath on the front paste-down end-paper. J. L. Shirreff is James Lumsden Shirreff, surgeon of Deptford, Kent, and later of Stradmore, Cardiganshire. Monboddo discusses twices the deaf-mute painter Charles Shirreff in Volume One, Book One, who is possibly some relation of J. L. Shirreff. For the record, here are the imprints in volumes 2 - 6: volume 2, Edinburgh: Printed for J. Balfour.And T. Cadell., 1774; volume 3: London: Printed for T. Cadell.and J. Balfour, Edinburgh, 1786; volume 4: Edinburgh: Printed for J. Bell, Edinburgh and T. Cadell., 1787; volume 5: Edinburgh: Printed for J. Bell.and T. Cadell., 1789; volume 6: Edinburgh: Printed for Bell & Bradfute.and T. Cadell., 1792. A portrait was added to some copies, but it is not "called for." The fullest account of Monboddo's work on language is found in Iain Maxwell Hammett's Ph. D. dissertation (1985), "Lord Monboddo's Of the origin and progress of language: its sources, genesis and background, with special attention to the Advocates' Library." In his Oxford DNB entry on Monboddo, Dr. Hammett writes, "Essentially an attack on Locke's fashionable theory of ideas as the source of scepticism and materialism in Hume and the French Enlightenment, Monboddo's work was recognized in France, Italy, and Germany. It was translated in part into German by E. A. Schmidt (17846) and praised by J. G. von Herder, who attributed the British notices of the first volume to a conspiracy in defence of Locke. British criticisms, which included vicious attacks in the Edinburgh Magazine and Review (17736) and in Dissertations: Moral and Critical (1783) by his friend James Beattie, culminated in John Horne Tooke's Lockian assault on Monboddo and Harris in The Diversions of Purley (1786). A century later, the ninth edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica (187589) found neo-Kantianism implicit in Monboddo's 'intimate knowledge of Greek philosophy' and Darwinism in 'His idea of studying man as one of the animals, and of collecting facts about savage tribes to throw light on the problems of civilisation.'" Alston records that volumes I and III were reprinted as a "second" edition in 1774 and 1786 as the publishers discovered that they had not printed a sufficient number. Some copies have mixed sets accordingly.
