Chez les frères Estienne, à Paris 1778, In-12 (10x17cm), cv (1) 465pp. (3), relié.


Original French edition translated into the seventh English edition.
Binding in full marbled and glazed brown calf of the time. Smooth decorated back. title label in red morocco. Flared headdress. Upper joint split at the head on 5cm. Traces of friction. Good copy.
Scottish Protestant author whose sermons relate mainly to reserve and modesty, reserve and modesty of dress, reserve and conversational modesty, etc. No doubt such moral preoccupations could only emerge in the late 18th century and under the Empire, who turned their backs on these dress restrictions, the face of modest morality intended to conceal all femininity; a large part of the 19th century, on the other hand, carried out these precepts with great efficiency.
