First and only edition in Russian of Gerard's "Essay on Taste" (1759), translated, as was often the case, via French ("Essai sur le goût", 1766).  "In its original form, An Essay on Taste contained Gerard's own text, plus translations of brief works on the subject by Voltaire, D'Alembert, and Montesquieu which signalled his absorption of the French tradition in aesthetics.  But the Essay was also distinctively Scottish in character, for Gerard blended the ideas of Hutcheson, Hume, and his Aberdeen contemporaries, and grounded his discussion of the principles of taste on the science of human nature ...  Because of its wide readership the Essay popularized the philosophical approach to the arts developed by Scots moralists in the early eighteenth century, and it quickly became a canonical text in the literature on taste" (Oxford DNB).
