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. OCLC locates three copies also four copies of The Berkeley Cook Book: A Collection of Choice and Tested Recipes by the Ladies of Berkeley Oakland: Pacific Press 1884; Cook page 27; Brown 57 with different pagination; not in Cagle.

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."
