- MORGAN, Sir T[homas] C[harles] Sketches of the philosophy of morals. London: for Henry Colburn, and Co., 1822 8vo, xxix + (i) + 369pp, complete with the half-title, some pencil annotations erased from title-page (but still apparent), else a very good copy uncut in original boards, neatly rebacked, with the contemporary Dublin bookseller Milliken's label on upper cover. First edition. Morgan, who was a physician to the great and the good in Ireland, was husband of the authoress of France (1818) and Italy (1821) but seems to have been an uninspired philosopher. His Sketches of the Philosophy of Life, published in 1818 had been so unsparingly attacked on the grounds of its materialism that his later Sketches of the Philosophy of Morals "fell almost stillborn from the press" (DNB). His work is not without merit, however, J M Rigg, in DNB, describing him as "an extremely minute philosopher, or rather philosophe". His Philosophy of Morals included intelligent essays on Organisation in its relation to Morals, Of Liberty and Necessity and Of Right and Obligation. Keywords :- philosophy Price - £95 |
