In it Roberti takes his inspiration from Montesquieu and others in exploring the distinction between honesty and truthfulness uprightness and moral rectitude. The treatise is divided into two parts; the first exploring six 'doubts' the second concentrating on six founding principles. Both parts contain numerous examples some literary and some factual.

EDWARD VESEY BLIGH'S COPY WITH HIS SIGNATURE ON FRONT FREE ENDPAPER. A NOTABLE COPY OF ONE OF KEIGHTLEY'S FINEST CLASSICAL COMMENTARIES. Remembered today primarily for his 'Fairy Mythology' 1828 Thomas Keightley 1789-1872 was also a classical historian and scholar of note; his editions of Greek and Roman texts were produced mainly from Trinity College Dublin. His 'Fasti' is based on the Krebs text and Keightley notes the most important variant readings of the fifty-eight collated MSS of the poem together with not unnaturally appropriate references to his own 'Mythology of Greece and Italy' published eight years previously. The edition received several laudatory reviews notably in the 'Gentleman's Magazine' and was adopted for use by at least one major public school. The Hon. Edward Vesey Bligh brother to 6th Earl of Darnley was vicar of Birling in Kent and Chairman of the Prayer Book Revision Society Whittaker and Co., unknown
