Political Vanity aims to illuminate the central debates over the historical, moral, and political legitimacy of market capitalism as though still profoundly theological in character. This theological sensitivity is achieved by keeping conversation with central theorists of the Scottish Enlightenment, in particular the philosopher and sociologist Adam Ferguson. Ferguson was a contemporary of Hume and Smith, and actively questioned many of the pillars of early capitalism on theological grounds.

Vanity Fair was a weekly show of Political, Social and Literary Wares which was cutting-edge and unique. Over time it became the most successful society magazine in the history of English journalism and with its combination of witty epigrams, portrait caricature and colour lithography, it provided a new interest for the English magazine genre. The colour caricatures were not initially used by its founding editor Thomas Gibson Bowles until Issue 13, when he thought a caricature might boost the fortunes of his new magazine. Benjamin Disraeli was the first, followed by his close rival William Gladstone. Vanity Fair stood ready to attack all who threatened the established social structure, controlled by the ruling elites. It was outspoken in its condemnation of the political parties, and during its 46 year existence, politicians were to account for a third of the 2352 caricatures published in the journal from 1869 to 1914. Unlike the rest of Vanity Fair, these caricatures have lived on and prospered, many falling into the hands of private collectors. This particular collection of 'mixed political wares' includes some of the key players and also rans, whose professional dealings, successful or otherwise, did not escape the scrutiny of the prophesising Jehu Junior.

Washington, Adams, Henry, Jefferson, Franklin, and Hamilton: their ambitions, intrigues, and jealousies shaped the birth of the nation, but they overcame their foibles and imperfections to throw off the chains of tyranny and form a more perfect union. We think of them now as faces on money or statues on pedestals, and, as Burns illustrates in luminous prose, that’s exactly what they always wanted to be. They all possessed astonishing brilliance, but many had large egos and more than just a little vanity, especially John Adams, who never felt he received his public due and often complained in his letters about the unjust fame of his peers. History remembers Patrick Henry as the author of the patriotic call to arms, “give me liberty, or give me death!” but, at the beginning of his life in the public eye, he shamelessly traded integrity for renown. Interest in the founding fathers has never been greater; Virtue, Valor, and Vanity presents all of these well-known and oft-quoted men with wisdom and candor. In this fresh, informative work, Burns brings the founding fathers down off their pedestals to reveal the flesh-and-blood men—vain and modest, sensitive and stubborn, brilliant and ambitious—who attempted to overcome their faults in order to establish a new nation that would be a paragon of governance. For the armchair historian, here is an exciting new look at our country’s origins.

Questioning the usual judgements of political ethics, Ruth W. Grant argues that hypocrisy can actually be constructive while strictly principled behavior can be destructive. Hypocrisy and Integrity offers a new conceptual framework that clarifies the differences between idealism and fanaticism while it uncovers the moral limits of compromise. "Exciting and provocative. . . . Grant's work is to be highly recommended, offering a fresh reading of Rousseau and Machiavelli as well as presenting a penetrating analysis of hypocrisy and integrity."—Ronald J. Terchek, American Political Science Review "A great refreshment. . . . With liberalism's best interests at heart, Grant seeks to make available a better understanding of the limits of reason in politics."—Peter Berkowitz, New Republic
