1776151205London: T. Payne 1776. First edition in English of this important work on government by Aristotle. Quarto bound in contemporary half calf over marbled boards full morocco spine label raised bands. In very good condition. Translated by William Ellis. An exceptional example of this cornerstone work. An important text in both the history of philosophy and in sparking the development of western political democracy. Ellis' translation was the first direct into English from the original Greek of Aristotle's "Politics." Loys Le Roy translated this work into French which was subsequently translated into English in 1597. Ellis' translation is considered more accurate and for many the most important translation in bringing Aristotle's treatise to enlightenment statesmen and philosophers. The bibliographer Lowdnes notes that Ellis' work appeared in this quarto edition 1776 priced at 15 shillings and was reprinted with little change in 1778. Lowndes praises Ellis' edition as "A faithful and perspicuous version." Aristotle's On Government via this English translation became a landmark text in the history of Western political thought a text which influenced late 18th and 19th century political thought in the English speaking world. Dr. B. E. Bryant notes that Thomas Jefferson owned a copy of the Ellis translation which influenced his drafting of the American Declaration of Independence: "Like most other well-educated individuals of his day Jefferson was thoroughly exposed to classical philosophy. We know for certain he owned a copy of the William Ellis 1776 translation of Aristotle's Politics and even cited Aristotle as one of the sources he used for the Declaration of Independence." Aristotle's "On Government" constitutes the first treatise of the conditions under which philosophy is possible within politics and thus the work that as much as any other founded political philosophy. The influence that this work has had on later political thinking is difficult to exaggerate and the fact that the work became available in a translation into English directly from the original Greek has been of the utmost importance to the development of political thought in England and America. Ellis' Aristotle is the only 18th century translation a an accurate and smoothly readable version that is still in print after more than 200 years. T. Payne hardcover

Commonly called The Nicomachean Ethics or The Ethics to Nicomachus after Aristotle's son the Ethics are here simply called Ethics. Gillies argues in the preface that this and the Politics 'ought never to have been disjoined since they are considered by Aristotle himself as forming essential parts of one and the same work." This translation was denounced by Platonist Thomas Taylor for inaccuracies but it remains an important edition in the history of the work and includes significant biographical information about Aristotle and critical analysis of his work by Gillies more than 200 pages worth!.

1783204<b>FIRST EDITION IN FRENCH. Including half-titles. Two leather bound volumes 8x10.5 are rubbed on the edges spines show some wear on raised bands and head/tail. Nice bookplate of C. Gulbranson on inside covers endpapers of handmade French marbled paper some tanning and light foxing. The first French translation of Aristotle's descriptive zoology. Text in Greek and French on facing pages. History of Animals is a natural history text by the Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle who had studied at Plato's Academy in Athens. It was written in the fourth century BC; Aristotle died in 322 BC. Generally seen as a pioneering work of zoology Aristotle frames his text by explaining that he is investigating the what the existing facts about animals prior to establishing the why their causes. The book is thus an attempt to apply philosophy to part of the natural world. His method is to identify differences both between individuals and between groups. A group is established when it is seen that all members have the same set of distinguishing features; for example the birds all have feathers wings and beaks. This relationship between the birds and their features is identified as a universal. The History of Animals had a powerful influence on zoology for some two thousand years. It continued to be a primary source of knowledge until in the sixteenth century zoologists including Conrad Gessner all influenced by Aristotle wrote their own studies of the subject. </b> Published by Veuve Desaint hardcover
