The book is rare, but for those who can lay their hands on it thoroughly worth reading in itself, and also as showing how the commanding figure of the great Tory statesman drew the enthusiastic and admiration of one who was so soon to startle his contemporaries by asserting in 'Political Justice' that all government was an infringement of the Rights of Man". - Charles Kegan Paul, Godwin: his Friends and Contemporaries. Provenance: Early bookplate of Sir James Edward Lacon. Rothschild, 1015; Sabin, 63093.
