*Boswell (James, 1740-1795). Autograph letter signed, 'James Boswell', Edinburgh, 1 February 1768, to Catharine Macaulay, informing her that he has forwarded her pamphlet on Hobbes to Paoli, and passing on Paoli's high opinion of the work for its constitutional insights and as a corrective to the current fashion for monarchy, 'he writes to me thus: Le ossereazioni sopra dell'Hobbes servono a meraviglia per guarire i Spiriti troppo prevenati a favor della Monarchia...', going on to tell Mrs Macauley that although he did not at first tell Paoli who the author of the pamphlet was he has now done so and 'ventured to assure him that the Lady will continue her correspondence. Such publick addresses from Great Britain do honour both to this country and to Corsica; and were it not that we are in general dead to nobleness of sentiment, there would be many more zealous friends of the brave Islanders', some age toning, half of one line from top margin neatly cut away removing a few words of Italian to first line of verso, a few short splits to folds, 2 pages with integral address leaf and seal, 4to Catharine Macaulay (1731-1791) was an English historian and political thinker. She was associated with two political groups in the 1760s and 1770s, the Real Whigs and the Wilkites, being more interested in polemic than everyday strategy. She was a supporter of the exiled Corsican Filippo Antonio Pasquale di Paoli (1725-1807), who was to oversee the Corsican resistance following the French conquest of Corsica in 1768. In London, Paoli gained the attention of Samuel Johnson and his circle and Boswell himself became so zealous in his support of Paoli that he donned full Corsican attire when he attended the Shakespeare Jubilee festivities at Stratford in 1769. Paoli also stayed with Mrs Macaulay during his visit to England in the autumn of 1769. The pamphlet by Catharine Macauley to which the letter alludes is 'Loose Remarks on Certain Positions to be found in Mr Hobbes's "Philosophical Rudiments of Government and Society", with a Short Sketch of a Democratical Form of Government, in a Letter to Signor Paoli', 1767. A second edition was published in 1769. In this work she rebuts Hobbes's purely political conception of the state and counters it with her own more moralised conception of the nature of political authority. Her most philosophical work, 'A Treatise on the Immutability of Moral Truth', 1783, was a major influence on the thinking of Mary Wollstonecraft. See also lot 2. (1)
