Philosophy of the Moral Feelings
This John Abercrombie authored book is a companion volume to
his
"Inquiries" book. This book, like the other, has an introductory Jacob
Abbott chapter. The purpose of the chapter was so this book could be
adapted for use in schools and academies.
As with the "Inquiries" books, Harper and Brothers published
this title a number of times without the Abbott chapter. The first
Harper edition was published in 1833 by J. & J. Harper. The
first
English edition was published in 1833 J. Murray, London.
It is most likely that both Abercrombie books were published
by Otis, Broaders and Company, Collins (Robert B., Collins and Brother
and Charles Collins) and Kay and Troutman in the same years in the same
formats. But as of this time, I am only listing the dates of
publication for each of the Abercrombie books that are known to me.

Collins Publishing Firm-New York
Working out the publishing history of the Collins' Abbott books can be
a challenge. Here is a brief overview.
Isaac Collins founded this house in the 18th century. In 1834 Benjamin
and Stacy Collins restarted the bankrupt Collins and Hannay firm as B.
and S. Collins. John Keese joined the firm in 1836 and the name was
changed to Collins, Keese and Company.
This firm published Abbott books for the first time using the Collins,
Keese and Company moniker. Chronologically this house thereafter
became Collins, Brother and Company, Collins and Brother, Robert B.
Collins and then Collins and Brother again. In 1884 the latter company
was succeeded by Charles Collins in 1884 when Robert B. Collins
retired.
