England and the English. By ... the author of "Pelham," "Devereux," "Eugene Aram," &c. ... Second edition

London: Richard Bentley, 1833. 2 volumes, large 12mo, pp. xii, 399; xi, [1], 355; contemporary half polished green calf over marbled boards, red morocco labels on spines; slight cracking along the point of vol. I, minor rubbing; very good. John Stuart Mill contributed the essay on Jeremy Bentham which is printed on pp. 163-70 in the second volume, and Mill wrote of the whole work that it was "at that time greatly in advance of the public mind." Wolff 930 citing the first edition of the same year, says it is "a book so highly regarded by modern social historians that it has recently been republished" by the University of Chicago Press, 1970; Sadlier 402.
