others, with numerous examples and some bibliographical information on early studies. The work is based on Schultze’s earlier (1748) Orientalisch- und occidentalischer Sprachmeister, which also contained the Lord’s Prayer in multiple languages, and was edited by Johann Friedrich Fritz. Some of the engraved plates were apparently reused, giving both plate count (for the 1748 edition) and page number for this edition. Schultze (1689–1760) studied at Halle and in 1719 went out to the Tranquebar Mission and learnt the Malabar dialect. He worked on the translation of the Tamil bible and studied numerous other Indian languages. He returned to Halle in 1743 to become director of the Halle orphanage, part of the famous Francke’sche Stiftungen (Francke Foundations), a highly important charitable foundation, printing press, and missionary establishment. The work can also be used as a type-specimen of the famous German printing house of Gessner, showing extensive holdings of exotic type.

Ginopoli, 1817. £580 8vo, pp. ii, 169, [1] blank, [2] index; title page browned, and occasional spotting throughout, faint dampstain to upper outer corner of Wrst signature; uncut in recent paper wrappers. First edition of this uncommon study of women, as regards their physical, moral and social characteristics, and drawing comparisons between women in France and those in Italy. Scrofani approaches his topic scientiWcally, quotes extensively from European authors, and describes in individual chapters female beauty, education, fashion, luxury, ambition, jealousy, capriciousness, vanity and love. He attempts to identify national characteristics, such as a greater propensity to gambling, or to falling in love in French women, but also Wnds many characteristics which are similar in both countries. In the course of his argument he gives a detailed insight into post revolutionary society. Salverio Scrofani (1756–1837) was a Sicilian priest and economist, and one time professor of agriculture at Venice, who lived for a few years in Paris after the destruction of the Venetian republic. This allowed him to make comparisons at Wrst hand, which also reXected on some of his other, economic and political, publications.

First Edition of Adam Smith’s First Book 109 SMITH, Adam. The Theory of Moral Sentiments. London, A. Millar; Edinburgh, A. Kincaid and J. Bell, 1759. £12,500 8vo, pp. [vi], [viii], 550 [i.e. 530, pp. 317–336 omitted from pagination as usual], [1], with half-title and errata present; early ownership inscription to title, partly crossed out; some light foxing and browning, small ink stain to last 3 leaves; recently bound in full sprinkled calf, spine gilt in compartments, with gilt-lettered spine label. First edition of Adam Smith’s Wrst book, the work that established his reputation as a philosopher not only in London but also on the Continent. The Theory of Moral Sentiments is of the highest importance because of the way in which it supplements Smith’s views on the nature of man and the way this world runs, as set out in the more familiar Wealth of Nations. ‘One of Adam Smith’s major claims to fame, in some ways his greatest, is his development of a uniWed concept of an economic system with mutually catalogue fourteen
