Item description from seller

Octavo. 12mo; 83,[1]p., sewn sheets bound ito modernn paper wrappers with printed spine and title labels. Some mimld darkening and soil to title page, else a clean, Near Fine copy. The French text and English translation are on facing pages. A posthumously-published work by the Parliamentarian, freethinker, and self-styled philosopher Henry St. John, Lord Bolingbroke (1678-1751). The translator is unidentified. Though not published until after Bolingbroke's death, this rumination upon the origins of humans' instinct for compassion almost certainly dates from Bolingbroke's residence in Paris in the 1720s, when he was first formulating his rationalist conception of man's universe. ESTC T46530.
