The most famous work of Sarah Scott 1720-1795 'Millenium Hall' describes a female utopia free from male violence where property is held in common and a community of women conduct lives devoted to artistic pursuits and education Christian virtues and philanthropy. Through its focus on female equality education and friendship and with the Hall forming a model of mid-century reform ideas it provided a fictional embodiment of the ideals of the Blue Stockings Society of which Scott was a member and of which her sister Elizabeth Montagu was leader. A successful work in its time it went through four editions by 1778 and in recent years has undergone a resurgence of scholarly and public interest with a renewed focus on its early feminist meaning.

1789004352<p>My book plate on front free end paper and armorial book plate of Rev John Dunn Yarker on front paste-down. 3 front free end papers and 3 rear free end papers one of which has been pasted to the last page.

There are XXVI letters the first dated Aug 2 1788 and the last Sept 3 1788. On Sept 2 he wrote: So much peturbation and heat will not eafily fubfide; and it will be found a matter extremely difficult if practicable to reduce their minds as before to the yoke of fubjection In fact the whole kingdom feems ripe for a Revolution . Bear in mind Bastille day was under a year later - July 14 1789. Hard Cover Parchment. Coverd in PVC plastic. This book apparently followed a companion volume on the Netherlands. At least 7 other publishers have offered this book some still in print proving that many people would choose a hard copy. The book is a classic of Historic interest. This English printing might be the true first. I do not know if there was an American edition in the same year. VERY rare in this edition. Feel free to make a reasonable offer. </p> T.

87212The Leadenhall Press 1894. . Hand coloured engraving showing a rural scene near London with fashionably dressed gentlemen riding the newly invented 'hobby horse'.<br /> The forerunner of the bicycle the 'hobby' or 'dandy horse' was invented by the German Baron Karl von Drais in France in 1817. It was introduced to England the following year by Denis Johnson a coachmaker of Long Acre London who described it as a 'Pedestrian Curricle'. Hobby horses had no pedals or brakes but were propelled by the rider pushing on the ground with his feet and dragging the feet to slow the machine. Johnson started a school where prospective purchasers could learn how to ride the machine and in 1819 fashionable London society was briefly gripped by a craze for riding a hobby horse. <br /> The Leadenhall Press, [1894]. unknown
