These three volumes are the result of many years of work by the editors who have gone to considerable lengths to establish the definitive collection of Price's letters. They contain all the known extant copies of the correspondence of Richard Price, printed, wherever the originals are available, from manuscript (including Price's shorthand mss.). Many items are published for the first time (including items from the valuable collection in the possession of the Marquis of Lansdowne). Perhaps best known as a political philosopher, Price made significant contributions to Anglo- American intellectual life in the late 18th century in a variety of fields. This remarkable collection of letters, most previously unpublished, is impressive for the breadth of topics covered--religion, theology, politics, education, liberty, finance, demography, and insurance.Peach, W. Bernard is the author of 'Correspondence of Richard Price February 1786 - February 1791', published 1994 under ISBN 9780708311806 and ISBN 0708311806.
