II K1 corner torn away affecting a few letters, bookplates removed from endpapers, contemporary tree calf, gilt, dulled, corners and edges repaired, rebacked, 12mo, Dublin, P. Byrne, 1793. "Bage... contributed to the debate on the [French] revolution, advancing his earlier principles of toleration, egalitarianism, and reform in a new novel, Man as he is (4 vols., 1792). It narrates the rescue of a well-meaning young baronet from fashionable aristocratic vices by his love for a virtuous and independent woman, good friends, and his encounters in France with leaders of the earlier, moderate phase of the revolution." - Oxford DNB.
