About This Item
Edinburgh: J. Dickson and G. Nicol, 1793. [5], 2-76pp. Modern cloth, title and date in gilt to spine. Small nick to head of title and a couple of numbers in pen, lightly browned throughout. Not the shoemaker Thomas Hardy, of L.C.S. fame, but a Scottish Minister who was friendly with Henry Dundas. An attack on Paine's 'Rights of Man', which finishes with "the happy state of man in political society, is under limited monarchy - mixed government - the British constitution". All of the copies in the ESTC seem to be the second edition printed in the same year (which seems unlikely). Goldsmiths 15827 (second edition). First Edition. Hardback. Good. 8vo. Pamphlet.
