Remarks on the Use and Abuse of Some Political Terms: A New Edition, with Notes and Introduction

xxiv, 194, 16 pp. Blue cloth, gilt titles and rules, blind-stamped borders. An excellent edition of a significant work of Utilitarian political theory first published in 1832. This edition adds an introduction and notes by Thomas Raleigh, a fellow of All Souls College at Oxford. Lewis was on intimate terms with Grote, John Stuart Mill, and the Austins. This, 'the most important work of his earlier period was one to which his logical and philosophical tastes contributed. [It] may have been suggested by Bentham's Book of Political Fallacies, but it shows that power of sober original thinking which marks his larger and later political works." - Encyclopedia Britannica
