185230702New York: Bunnell and Price 1852. First hardcover edition and first printing of this text. Foxing to end papers a few stains to text block corners and spine ends with slight rubs and bumps a nearly fine copy 30702. 12mo pp. 1-3 4-143 144: blank flyleaves at front and rear original decorated black cloth front and rear panels stamped in blind spine panel stamped in gold and blind. This work prepared by a close acquaintance of Locke provides a biographical sketch of Locke; anecdotes about the reception of Locke's report; appendices presenting an authentic description of the Moon; and the text of Locke's successful hoax perpetrated in the NEW YORK SUN in August 1835 which pretended to reveal a discovery that men and animals existed on the Moon. The revelations supposedly reprinted from the actually defunct EDINBURGH JOURNAL OF SCIENCE were so cleverly wrought that for a short time the report was given credence in scientific circles in the United States and Europe. The report was soon denounced as a hoax by the public press and Richard Adams Locke 1800-1871 a reporter for the SUN was identified as the perpetrator of the "ingenious astronomical hoax." Interest in the lunar discoveries increased the SUN'S circulation to more than nineteen thousand the largest of any daily of that time. According to William Gowans who reprinted the story in 1859 Locke's account created such public interest that the owners of the SUN published sixty thousand copies of it in pamphlet form. The pamphlet was published in September 1835 and every copy was sold in less than a month. Nevertheless the 1835 printings are rare and only a handful of copies survive.

TroisiÂme traduction franÂaise de Coste.Revue Dix-septiÂme siÂcle 2011/4 n.¡ 253 article LÕoeuvre des premiers traducteurs franÂais de John Locke : Jean Le Clerc Pierre Coste et David Mazel : Ã’Locke ne semble pas avoir trouvÂŽ que les commentaires ajoutÂŽs par Coste dans la prÂŽface de la traduction de ses Thoughts concerning Education ÂŽtaient dÂŽplacÂŽs ; au contraire il trouva son conseil ˆ propos de la nÂŽcessitÂŽ de bien ma”triser sa langue maternelle si perspicace quÕil dÂŽcida de lÕinsÂŽrer non pas dans le paratexte mais dans le texte mÂme de lՎdition anglaise revue et augmentÂŽe qui suivit ce dont Coste ne fut pas peu fier. Le transfert culturel eut donc un effet boomerang. En dÕautres termes lÕadaptation culturelle ˆ laquelle Coste fut contraint de procÂŽder pour traduire Some Thoughts concerning Education en franÂais fut ensuite adoptÂŽe par lÕauteur anglais pour son texte source qui fut ainsi enrichi de lÕidÂŽe du traducteur franÂaisÓ. Ã’dans lÕavertissement ˆ la deuxiÂme ÂŽdition franÂaise de De lÕeducation des enfans Coste signala quÕau rang des Ã’articles tout nouveauxÓ dont Locke avait grossi la version originale de lÕÃuvre figurait le sien sur lÕimportance dÕune bonne ma”trise de sa langue maternelle il prÂŽcisa ÂŽgalement que le texte original avait gagnÂŽ en exactitude. . Ë en croire Coste cÕest gr‰ce ˆ lui et ˆ son travail de traduction que Locke en vint ˆ Ã’exprimer en Anglois quantitÂŽ dÕendroits dÕune maniÂre plus prÂŽcise & plus distincte quÕil nÕavoit fait dans les trois premiÂres ƒditions de son LivreÓÓ. 235 Chez Jaques Menassion unknown
