简介

Millar published the book in London in 1771 as “Observations concerning the Distinction of Ranks in Society”; the enlarged third edition of 1779 bore the title “The Origin of the Distinction of Ranks: or, an Inquiry into the Circumstances which give rise to Influence and Authority in the Different Members of Society”. Its six chapters treat the rank and condition of women; the authority of a father over his children; that of a chief over a tribe and over a larger society; the changes brought to government by the arts and polished manners; and the authority of masters over servants, including slavery. The book grew out of Millar’s Glasgow lectures and follows Smith’s account of the stages of society.
