180228071<p>This 1802 English edition of the Works of Aristotle printed for the booksellers in London presents an intriguing example of early modern pseudo-Aristotelian literature. While ostensibly a collected edition of Aristotle's major texts the contents instead reflect a blend of philosophical fragments folk science and spurious additions—most notably the inclusion of Problemata physica a work long associated with Aristotle despite scholarly doubts regarding its authorship. The volume also features oddities including contemporary medical references such as commentary on infant deaths attributed to London's air quality clearly outside the purview of any authentic Aristotelian manuscript. This eclecticism typifies the genre of popular "Aristotle" books produced for lay audiences in 18th- and early 19th-century Anglo-American print culture. The copy offered here is complete in its 240 pages bound in period full leather and printed in New England in 1806 despite its London imprint. A fascinating artifact of both classical appropriation and vernacular medical publishing. Very Good condition: leather binding moderately rubbed with corners worn but intact and secure; pages with mild foxing and age toning; collated complete. Octavo 8vo single volume. Collation: 240p. No illustrations. Edition: 1802 printing. References: Placeholder. Item Number SKU: #28071. PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.</p> printed for the booksellers hardcover
1811Bv2442<p>First Edition. "Rhetoric is an art or faculty which upon every subject considers the capability of persuasion" 25. London: 1811JJ Stockdale. First Printing. A Dissertation upon Rhetoric" translated from the Greek of Aristotle by Daniel Michael Crimmin Esq. was published in London by J.J. Stockdale in 1811. This work is a translation of Aristotle's treatise on rhetoric a foundational text in the field. It was likely part of a larger effort to make classical Greek texts accessible to an English-speaking audience. Translator Daniel Michael Crimmin was a scholar with connections to Trinity College Dublin and the Middle Temple. London-based publisher J.J. Stockdale was well known for producing scholarly works. Aristotle's Rhetoric was classified with a few other works notably the Poetics as encheiridia i.e. handbooks providing foundational treatment of a subject essentially practical guides rather than abstract treatises. As such The Rhetoric in particular was widely circulated albeit in Latin and extensively cited. Rhetoric was of course useful in politics and law but it became increasingly embraced by theological educators. Persuasion is by means of the hearers whenever they are led on into passion by the speech for we do not render our judgments the same way when grieved as when delighted or when friendly as when hostile Sachs 2009. The "Dissertation upon Rhetoric" unravels the basic principles of the art of argumentation. Aristotle's Rhetoric is a cornerstone of Western rhetorical theory and this translation by Crimmin made The Rhetoric available to a wider audience in the early 19th century. This First Edition rarely appears in commerce or at auction making it a scarce item. Its absence from recent sales underscores its rarity often a desirable trait for collectors of classical works and early translations. Gilded spine with title in contemporary marbled calf. Some scuffing and fraying to front board. Light darkening to first 32 pages. Very scarce penciled underscoring of words in text. Hinges very firm. PO s small bookplate on front pastedown imprinted to first blank and tiny penciled signature. Text generally fresh and clean. An extremely good copy of a scarce text. Book #Bv2442 $500.

1836Bv1422<p>First edition of John S. Brewer's The Nicomachean Ethics of Aristotle with English Notes Oxford Henry Slater 1836. Distinguished primarily by its inclusion of extensive English notes and commentary designed to aid readers in understanding Aristotle's text Brewer's Nicomachean Ethics differs from many earlier and contemporary editions which often presented the Greek text alone or with minimal annotation. This editorial approach was particularly valuable in the 19th century as it made the work more accessible to those English-speaking students and scholars who lacked fluency in Ancient Greek. Brewer's edition was intended as a scholarly resource for students and readers seeking a deeper understanding of Aristotle's ethical philosophy. The notes serve both as a linguistic aid and as an introduction to Aristotelian thought making the edition particularly suitable for educational settings. The profound impact of the Nicomachean Ethics on Western intellectual history is undeniable. It served as a cornerstone of medieval philosophy and significantly influenced the subsequent development of modern philosophy European legal systems and theology. Aristotle's stature was such that he was frequently referred to simply as "the Philosopher." "If there is a philosophical Atlas who carries the whole of Western Civilization on his shoulders it it Aristotle. He has been opposed misinterpreted misrepresented and -- like an axiom -- used by his enemies in the very act of denying him. Whatever intellectual progress men have achieved rests on his achievements" Ayn Rand 1963. Text very fresh and clean. Octavo original calf elaborately gilt-decorated spine with raised bands. Some scattered foxing on opening and closing blank pages. PO's tiny bookplate and signature. Lightly penciled note on P.228 and back pastedown. A lovely near-fine copy handsomely bound.
