An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals by David Hume, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. Published in 1751, David Hume's Enquiry was, in his own view, the best of all his writings. He argues that morality is grounded not in reason alone but in sentiment, in our natural sympathy with others and our approval of qualities that are useful or agreeable. A clear, elegant classic of moral philosophy.
About this leather-bound edition
We cover every book in genuine leather by hand, finishing the spine with gold-tone foil titling and decorative tooling in the tradition of fine library bindings. Because each copy is made individually, small variations in leather grain and colour are a natural sign of handwork.
The thickness and weight of the finished book depend on the length of this particular title. Longer works make a noticeably thicker volume, while shorter works are slimmer.
