Faint blindstamp and ink shelf number the latter on verso of title of The Library of the Society for the Home Study of Holy Scripture and Church History first title leaf a trace foxed otherwise a very good copy. New i.e. Third London edition of the first title Keynes's variant A1b with "A Letter to T.P. ." on the verso of the title. This copy has p. 160 misnumbered '610'. The second title is also a "New Edition" i.e. the second London edition and exhibits Keynes's second corrected state of the title leaf: 'Holbourn'. Berkeley first noticed the use of tar-infused water during his residence in America and although cautious in his initial conclusions he soon became an advocate of its use as an economical aid for the betterment of the health of the Irish people. Although by no means wanting in exposition of Berkeley's larger philosophical considerations the practical aspects of SIRIS led to its being his most popular work and the investigation of tar-water generated a significant body of pamphlet literature in response well delineated by Keynes among which Prior's work is one of the most significant. ESTC cites Bowyer's ledger in reporting the edition of the first title consisted of 1000 copies and that of the second title 2000 copies. KEYNES BERKELEY 68 & 104. ESTC T45794 & T125698. For W.

CARTER BURWELL BERKELEY. Here is a brief account of the life of Carter Burwell Berkeley a devout and highly admired member of the Fork Church congregation during the early nineteenth century: He was born at Airwell Virginia on February 20 1768 and performed his early studies under the tutelage of a Mr. Bell an Irish scholar in a small log cabin near Offley Mill. His higher education was completed in 1793 with the receipt of a degree in medicine from the University of Edinburgh. / Dr. Berkeley returned to Virginia and practiced medicine from his old home until his marriage to Catherine Spotswood Carter. In the year of their wedding 1796 they built Edgewood which was to remain his residence and office well beyond her death. Each Sunday neighbors were invited to dine at Edgewood after church services and this event became a grand social and intellectual tradition along Ridge Road. / It was Dr. Berkeley's philosophy to practice faith and medicine together. One patient described waking late one night during a serious illness to find Dr. Berkeley kneeling by her bed and praying for her recovery. According to Brief Biographies of Virginia Physician by L. B. Anderson 1889 a patient was quoted as saying "We prefer Dr. Berkeley to anyone else because what he failed to accomplish by his medical skill he would secure by his prayers." / On Sunday morning November 3 1839 Dr. Berkeley was involved with his duties as chief warden when he was asked by two other doctors to visit a sick man as early as possible. "He was introduced into the room of the patient and seating himself by the bed gently grasped the wrist to feel the pulse. Not a word was uttered not a movement was made except to incline his head as was his custom during profound thought." In time the other doctors found that life has passed from the good doctor. "Thus like the faithful sentinel he fell with his armor on and in the exercise of the noble functions of his high calling." theforkchurch – Dr Carter Burwell Berkeley.

17342390London: Tonson 1734. first edition. contemporary calf. Very Good. VERY RARE FIRST EDITION OF ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL WORKS IN THE HISTORY OF CALCULUS. In 1731 Berkeley returned to England from the New World where he had spent years working to open a new college with the support of a royal charter. Despite having funds earmarked for the college no funds were ever released and he had grown tired of the whole affair - and of those who held the money he was meant to receive. Moreover "reports of growing infidelity in English society to which he was always liable to give credence were fueled by the continuing bad faith of the government in failing to lodge the funds he considered legally his." Stewart.<br /> <br /> Perhaps pushed by this diminishing opinion of the English gentry he revisited his earlier attacks on the secular 'freethinkers' and composed The Analyst "an acute and influential critique of the foundations of Newton's calculus." Downing. As Stewart explains "Berkeley considered the theory incoherent and a disservice to mathematics but one which if unchecked might reinforce prevailing views on the divisibility of matter and support infidelity."<br /> <br /> Within the criticism Berkeley raises careful arguments which often employ sophisticated philosophical distinctions. For example as Andersen explains "Berkeley acknowledged that mathematicians who applied Newton's method of fluxions or Leibniz's calculus ended up with valid results. However . he considered their calculations to be based on incorrect assumptions and to violate the rules of logic." As such he wished "to explain why this may come to pass and show how Error may bring forth Truth though it cannot bring forth Science." Berkeley.<br /> <br /> However between these arguments we find marvelously snide often comedic complaints about the whole approach. For example: "Now to conceive a Quantity infinitely small that is infinitely less than any sensible or imaginable Quantity or than any the least finite Magnitude is I confess above my Capacity. But to conceive a Part of such infinitely small Quantity that shall be still infinitely less than it and consequently though multiply'd infinitely shall never equal the minutest finite Quantity is I suspect an infinite Difficulty to any Man whatsoever". Berkeley.<br /> <br /> The concepts of the infinitesimal quantities of calculus haunted Berkeley and he returned to it repeatedly in his criticism most notably in his famous passage near the end of the book where he memorably referred to such infinitesimals as "ghosts of departed quantities". <br /> <br /> Note: This is the true first edition printed in London in 1734. A Dublin edition was also published in 1734 but appears to be a reprinting with some changes of the London first see Wilkins 2002. These were the only editions published in Berkeley's lifetime.<br /> <br /> References: Andersen K. 2011 "One of Berkeley's arguments on compensating errors in the calculus."

19035696Berkeley California: The Church; Printed by thePress of Standard Publishing Company 1903. Octavo 23.25 x 14 cm. iv 171 i pages. Advertisements. Index. Evident first edition but subsequent to an 1884 publication with different subtitle author statement and publisher. A generous church cookbook with seven hundred recipes; noteworthy among them: Squash Muffins Celery Root and Hearts of Artichoke Mussel Bordelaise Clam Patties Spanish Meat Pie Coffee Fruit Cake Lemon Cocoanut Cake Cookies with Sherry Monterey Pudding Gooseberry Pudding Pineapple Blanc-Mange Strawberry Mousse. ~ Congregationalists answered the call from President Daniel Coit Gilman 1831-1908 of the University of California to build a hall and organize a fellowship of moral vision within reach of the campus community. The "local church" emphasis of Congregationalist governance had already attracted the largest Protestant presence in San Francisco. After ten years of planning members of Berkeley First Congregational were called to new quarters by a recently cast bell on 30 September 1884 at the corner of Durant Avenue and Dana Street. Thus the early version of The Berkeley Cook Book subtitled A Collection of Choice and Tested Recipes celebrated the dedication of the 1884 church while its younger sibling of 1903 would have appeared in time to honor the building's twentieth anniversary. ~ In another twenty years they would move again to a grander brick complex on Channing Way still only a few city blocks from campus designed by the Bay Area architect Horace Gardner Simpson. It served successive generations for ninety years but in September 2016 was gutted by fire and the building's fate is undetermined as of this writing. ~ Clean and bright. Lightly wear at fore-corners and spine. Stapled in olive wrappers titled in brown. Very good.

The rise and fall of British Empiricism is philosophy's most dramatic example of pushing premises to their logical--and fatal--conclusions. Born in 1690 with the appearance of Locke's Essay Empiricism flourished as the reigning school until 1739 when Hume's Treatise strangled it with its own cinctures after a period of Berkeley's optimistic idealism. The Empiricists collects the key writings on this important philosophy perfect for those interested in learning about this movement with just one book. Anchor Books paperback books
