Priestley's writings lack a modern edition and this new collection will be the first to render accessible his Essay on First Principles, The Present State of Liberty and the Letter of Advice. An introduction and notes, and guides to further reading...

Wollstonecraft: A Vindication of the Rights of Men and a Vindication of the Rights of Woman and Hints
ISBN: 9780521436335 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Mary Wollstonecraft is remembered principally as the author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), and there has been a tendency to view her most famous work in isolation. Yet Wollstonecraft's pronouncements about women grew out of her reflections on men, and her views on the female sex constituted an integral part of a wider moral and political critique of her times that she first fully formulated in A Vindication of the Rights of Men (1790). This fully annotated edition brings these two works together.

Baxter: A Holy Commonwealth
ISBN: 9780521405805 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A Holy Commonwealth was written in 1659 by the Puritan minister Richard Baxter (1615-91), and is a candid confession as to why a conservative Puritan fought for Parliament in the Civil War and gave his support to the Cromwells. Baxter publicly repudiated the work in 1670, and in 1683 the Oxford University authorities ordered it to be part of a book-burning that included the works of Hobbes and Milton. This modern edition makes available the work's unique perspective on the relation between Church and magistrate and the origins of the English Civil War.
