BIGLAND (John): - Letters on the Study and Use of Ancient and Modern History: Containing Observations and Reflections on the causes and consequences of those events which have produced conspicuous changes in the Aspect of the World, and The General State of Human Affairs.

[London]: Albion Press printed: By and for James Cundee..., 1805. 12mo, pp. 357 [358 adverts], contemporary tree calf, gilt spine, black morocco label; some war to extremities, but a good copy. Bigland (1750 - 1832) was a prolific author, and this was his second book. First published it 1804, it elicited this comment from the July, 1804 issue of the British Critic: "Mr. Bigland displays in this volume a well-cultivated and comprehensive mind. His style is generally correct though not highly polished; his information is extensive; and the many pertinent remarks and inferences, with which he has enriched this summary of general history, meet our cordial approbation."
