Sir Richard Phillips was an English schoolteacher, author, publisher and vegetarianism activist. He founded The Monthly Magazine in 1796; among its early contributors were fellow radicals William Godwin and Thomas Holcroft. He built up a prominent fortune based on the speculative commission of newly revised textbooks and their publication, in a competitive market that had been freed by the House of Lords' decision in 1777 to strike down the perpetual copyright asserted by a small group of London booksellers to standard introductory works. His Juvenile Library published in 1800-03 provided the steady returns of all successful children's books. By 1807 he was in sufficient standing to serve as a Sheriff of London, at which time he was knighted on the occasion of presenting an address. Phillips was a vegetarian. He published Joseph Ritson's An Essay on Abstinence from Animal Food, as a Moral Duty in 1802. This item finds the author taking a walk through south-west London (see his map, image 2): Pimlico, Chelsea, Mortlake. Putney, Roehampton, Kew and so on. His reflections on history, mythology, religion, philosophy and social conditions are vividly described. Very good condition for age. No highlighting or other notes. Minimal tanning or age-browning. Presumed original binding.
