Hardcover. Very good. Second printing of the first American edition. Two octavo volumes. 330, 354 pp, bound in brown cloth with gilt spines. Minor wear to spine ends, front cover of volume two has an unobtrusive rub mark across its width. Still a bright, handsome set. This work is “a review in detail of the institutional philosophical position of Sir William Hamilton (1788-1856) in which Mill (1806-1873) attacks the points of view held by the institutionists and counters with a positive statement of the utilitarian philosophy,” MacMinn, p. 96; see also NCBEL 3:1552.
