First American edition. The first edition was published in 1748. The first translation into English was by Thomas Nugent in 1750 1752 according to the DNB which went through several editions. It may be this translation in the American edition. 8vo. In thirty-one books Montesquieu treats the historical origins and principles of laws. The books fall into six sections the first dealing with forms of government and law in general eight books; the second with taxation and military arrangements five books; the third with manners and customs and their "dependence on climatic conditions" six books; the fourth with economic matters four books; the fifth consisting of three books relates to religion; and the last five books sixth section with Roman French and feudal law. This work is "an assemblage of the most fertile original and inspiriting views on legal and political subjects put in language of singular suggestiveness and vigour illustrated by examples which are always apt and luminous permeated by the spirit of temperate and tolerant desire for human improvement and happiness and almost unique in its entire freedom at once from doctrinairism from visionary enthusiasm from egotism and from an undue spirit of system" Ency. Brit. "One of the greatest masterpieces of political theory and a pioneering work in sociology . In its stress on the historical role of the nobility as a check to royal power it provided a theoretical justification for the resurgance of aristocratic power which was so important in the origins of the French Revolution . its emphasis on the separation of powers of government and on a system of checks and balances profoundly influenced constitutional thought in both America and France" Charles B. MacNamara "France in the Age of Revolution" Cornell 1981. Montesquieu's disapproval of slavery and of religious intolerance are both voiced in this work as are his views on witchcraft sceptical. In the "Preface" the author writes "I have laid down the first principles and have found that the particular cases apply naturally to them that the histories of all nations are only consequences of them; and that every particular law is connected with another law or depends on some other of a more general extent." One of the primary evidences of Montesquieu's teachings that "in a republican government the whole power of educaion is required if the virtue that makes men choose public over private interest is to be sustained" appears in Jefferson's "Bill for More General Diffusion of Knowledge" of 1779 Cremin "American Education" p. 439.

180239Worcester: Printed by Isaiah Thomas Jun. sold by him and by Mathew Carey Philadelphia; also by the various Booksellers throughout the United States 1802. First US edition. Two volumes. Modern calf-backed marbled boards. Some browning of text generally light. Contemporary signature of "Jos. Allen" on titles. Enclosed in an open-end cloth case. The first American edition of Montesquieu's 1689-1755 classic work of political theory that helped form the American Constitution. Montesquieu first published The Spirit of Laws in 1748 in his native France as De l'esprit des loix anonymously in part because his works were subject to censorship. The book became recognized for its pioneering work on political theory and comparative law and was rapidly translated into other languages and published throughout Europe. Thomas Nugent the influential Irish historian and travel writer published the first English translation in 1750 but in 1751 the Roman Catholic Church placed the work on its Index Librorum Prohibitorum "List of Prohibited Books". Despite the book's censorship it would profoundly influence the American Founding Fathers and other political luminaries including Alexis de Tocqueville. The book was first printed in America by the influential revolutionary war printer and anti-British journalist Isaiah Thomas 1749-1831 and was sold and distributed by Thomas and fellow American printer and economist Mathew Carey 1760-1839. Montesquieu spent nearly twenty-one years researching and writing The Spirit of Laws which covers a wide range of topics including law philosophy government social life and anthropology. Montesquieu's work is perhaps best remembered today for its influential thesis that the best means for promoting and safeguarding political liberty is through a constitutional government that is subject to a separation of powers-an insight that would directly shape the formation of the American constitutional republic. The work also famously argues that successful political institutions must reflect the social and geographical aspects of the communities they govern and that legitimate governments are those that preserve legality and individual civil liberties. This edition was the first to be printed in the newly born United States of America and sets forth Montesquieu's enduring thought in thirty-one books that are divided into six sections. A masterpiece of political theory and sociology and a defining part of American history.
