First edition. The first to hold the Chair of Moral Philosophy at the newly established College of arts and sciences at the University of Baltimore, Calvert went on to be elected major of Newport, Rhode Island; he keenly translated and wrote essays on many pieces of European literature. In his Introduction to social science he shows an interest in the theories of the French socialists Francois Marie Charles Fourier and Jean - Baptiste Andre Godin.
