Letters of Literature

London, G G J and J Robinson, 1785. Leather. A collection of bold by eccentric essays in for form of letters by John Pinkerton under the pseudonym of 'Robert Heron', depreciating the classical authors of Greece and Rome. First edition. John Pinkerton (17 February 1758 -10 March 1826) was a Scottish antiquarian, cartographer, author, numismatist, historian, and early advocate of Germanic racial supremacy theory. Pinkerton's correspondence with fellow academics is characterised by verbal abuse. Hugh Trevor-Roper, one modern historian inclined to sympathise with at least the spirit of his views, called him 'eccentric.' Other historians have hinted at mild insanity. Despite this, Pinkerton is still an important figure in the history of British antiquarianism. In original half calf binding with paper covered boards. Externally, sound but with bumping and wear to extremities. With some rubbing and marks to boards. Front joint held by cords only, rear joint strained. Front hinge tender, rear hinge strained. Internally, firmly bound. Generally bright but with slight scattered spotting and occasional marks to pages. With a small closed tear to title page. Good . Ill.: None. Good .
