Ferguson, Adam, 1723-1816

"An Essay on the History of Civil Society, Eighth Edition"


"When the subject of this work leads the author to address the imagination
and the heart: the variety and felicity of his illustrations--the richness
and fluency of his eloquence--and the skill with which he wins the
attention and commands the passions of his readers, leave him, among our
English moralists, without a rival."
