Description
London: G.G.J. and J. Robinson. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Very Good. FIRST EDITION of one of the most important political tracts of the 18th century. "The Enquiry was, and remained, the work by which [Godwin] was best known. It was one of the earliest, the clearest, and most absolute theoretical expositions of socialist and anarchist doctrine. Godwin believed that the motives of all human action were subject to reason, that reason taught benevolence, and that therefore all rational creatures could live in harmony without laws and institutions. Believing in the perfectibility of man, he thought that our virtues and vices may be traced to the incidents which make the history of our lives, and if these incidents could be divested of every improper tendency, vice would be extirpated from the world" (Printing and the Mind of Man, 234). London: G.G.J. and J. Robinson, 1793. Quarto, early three-quarters vellum over marbled boards. Two volumes. Without half-titles. Internally clean, boards with minor wear. A very handsome copy in early vellum.

Description
New York: Charles Webster and Co, 1885. First edition. Original deluxe sheep. Very Good. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL PUBLISHER'S DELUXE SHEEP BINDINGS of Grant's important and fascinating memoirs, illustrated throughout with numerous steel engravings, facsimiles, and over forty maps. Written during the final days of Grant's life and seen through publication by Mark Twain, the Memoirs provide a personal and poignant record of some of the most significant events in American history. The first edition of the Memoirs was issued in cloth, morocco, and sheep bindings. The soft sheep leather wears most easily and therefore has become the most difficult to find in good condition. New York: Charles Webster & Co., 1885-86. Octavo, original full publisher's sheep with leather spine labels, marbled endpapers and edges. Two volumes. Volume 1 with a few scuffs to rear board and joints, and with spine lightly toned; volume two binding with only very light wear. Text in each exceptionally clean. A very good copy - much nicer than is usually found.
