Catharine Macaulay's reply to Burke on the French Revolution has never been reprinted, but takes its place alongside Wollstonecraft's Vindication of the Rights of Men as the immediate response of the radical left, preceding Priestley, Mackintosh and Paine. The leading professional historian of her day, Macaulay was a personal friend of Washington, and had Volumes 1-5 of her History of England translated into French by Mirabeau. Her Letters on Education 1790 (see p. 21 of this catalogue) contains the basic feminist positions taken up by Wollstonecraft in her second Vindication.
