AN ENQUIRY
Concerning Political Justice,
And its Influence on Morals and Happiness,
By William Godwin.
THE reputation of this work is already well esta
blished in Europe—lt is hardly neceflary for an Ame
rican e litor to fay more than barely to mention, that
the Enquiry conternmg Political Juftite has ever
since its publication been a favorite performance with
the friends of republican government. The fli'e is
pure, nervous, and clafllcal; the ideas are strongly
marked by an original vein of thinking ; and, amonglt
a multitude of other just and striking pVffages, ; the
author's delineation of the peculiar infelicities insepa
rable from the condition of a King, may be pointed
out as a most masterly specimen of philosophical drf
quifition. The latest London edition of this work
fells in this city at four dollars and an half.
