Dedication on page v. by italian translator headed: Antonio Piazza di Venezia.
First edition in Italian of the Scottish philosopher and Minister William Brown's Essay on the natural equality of men (1793), written in Utrecht prior to Brown's appointment to the chair of Divinity at the University of Aberdeen. Antonio Piazza worked from Donnant's French translation and dedicated his work to Count Melzi d'Eril as a meditation on the social and political import of the French Revolution. Inequality among men, man's inherent sociability and society's need for a legitimate source of law and order feature prominently. The Scottish Minister's thoughts on the matter would have had a particular resonance with Northern Italian readers after Napoleon's Italian campaign.
