London : Printed for J. Johnson, 1792-01-01. Hardcover. Good. Octavo. 152p. Second edition. Rebound in later quarter beige cloth. Marbled boards. Complementary work to Paine's Rights of Man, published just before Part II. Overshadowed by Thomas Paine, Barlow's treatise is a well composed political pamphlet against the remnants of Europe's feudal systems. Using allusions to the American Revolution, Barlow argues that elites in Europe should embrace the inevitability of the reforms occurring in France, producing long-term benefits for all of society in the end.

BARLOW, Joel. Advice to the Privileged Orders, in the Several States of Europe, Resulting from the Necessity and Propriety of a General Revolution in the Principle of Government. Part I. New-York: Re-printed by Childs and Swaine, 1792. 1st American ed. (4), 118 pp. Orig. self-wrapperes, stitched as issued. Disbound.

1793 Joel Barlow Privileged Orders French Revolution Thomas Paine + Beer Brewing

Joel Barlow was an important 18th-century American diplomat who wrote several controversial treatises and pamphlets in which he supported the French Revolution. One such work was 'Advice to the Privileged Orders'. First published in 1792, this work was Barlow working through his promotion of the Revolution, offering advice who were seeking to understand answers against the government. This work became closely associated with Thomas Paine's 'Rights of Man', and the two were often studied in conjunction with one another.

This volume includes Barlow's important treatise as well as other curious 18th-century pamphlets such as:
