Description: London, Longmans, Green and Co, 1867 . Cloth. A signed copy of the second edition of Charles Anthony's work on the rights of Victorian era women. Directly inspired by Harriet Taylor Mill's work 'The Enfranchisement of Women' and influenced also by the work of her husband John Stewart Mill, the author Charles Anthony presents an argument for female legal equality within society.With the inscription 'To James Burns Esq from the author, thanks Anthony' to the half title.Beginning with the acknowledgement that 'the subject of the enfranchisement of women usually excites laughter and ridicule. That women should have votes is so novel a proposal, and therefore, to untrained minds, so absurd, that few can refrain from indulging in what are meant to be jokes and witticisms&apos.Anthony presents moral and practical arguments for women's suffrage, and concludes with the notice 'we do not believe that one half of mankind was born to exercise unlimited power over the other half', and that not until the vote is extended to women 'we shall see a more equal distribution of happiness&apos.With a former owner's inscription to the head of the front free endpaper.

The house in which the library was situated, Cefntilla Court, was purchased by the Raglan Memorial committee for his descendants. Lord Raglan was a keen collector of anthropology and folklore, with many of the works in his extensive library focusing upon this topic. In the publisher's original cloth binding.
