A very clean and crisp copy in an excellent contemporary binding. Locke 1632-1704 considered the father of English empiricism ìwas the first to take up the challenge of Bacon and to attempt to estimate critically the certainty and the adequacy of human knowledge when confronted with God and the universe. In the past similar enquiries had been vitiated by the human propensity to extend them beyond the range of human understanding and to invent causes for what it cannot explain. Therefore LockeÃs first task was to ascertain ëthe original certainty and extent of human knowledgeà and excluding ëthe physical consideration of the mind to show how far it can comprehend the universeÃ. His conclusion is that though knowledge must necessarily fall short of complete comprehension it can at least be ësufficientÃ; enough to convince us that we are not at the mercy of pure chance and can to some extent control our own destinyî Printing and the Mind of Man. LockeÃs investigation was continued by Hume and Kant. John Stuart Mill considered him to be the founder of the analytic philosophy of mind. Attig 228. Grolier 100 English 36.

In his early tracts on the civil magistrate.he had felt that the need for order in society justified the authority of the magistrate over matters indifferent to salvation. Under the influence of Shaftesbury and of his own investigations of the scope of certain knowledge his emphasis changed. Without certainty in matters of religion the conscience must be allowed liberty; the authority of the magistrate must be confined to preserving the existence of society and the safety and property of the citizen. LockeÃs thoughts on this subject as on so many others matured during his stay in Holland where his circle of friends consisted primarily of dissenters from the established church such as the Remonstrant pastor and theologian Philippus van Limborch. In 1686 Locke drafted a letter in Latin to his friend which was published probably by Limborch in 1689î Attig p. 12. The Epistola de tolerantia was almost immediately translated into English and published in London. It was ìimmediately attacked in two anonymous pamphlets the most significant of which was ProastÃs Argument March 1690. LockeÃs own response was equally swift and his Second letter appeared in June. Proast replied to LockeÃs Second letter with his Third letter concerning toleration 1691. Locke in response published A third letter for toleration the following year. Proast did not return to the attack until 1704 when he published his Second letter to the author of the three letters for toleration. Locke was defended by an anonymous author probably John Shute Barrington in the postscript to The rights of the Protestant dissenters. At the time of his death that same year Locke had begun his own reply. The draft was published by his executors Peter King and Anthony Collins in 1706î Attig pp. 18-19. Attig 93. Rothschild 2733.

Wherein Mr. LowndesÃs Arguments for it in his late Report concerning An Essay for the Amendment of the Silver Coins are particularly Examined. London: Printed for A. and J. Churchil 1695. ESTC lists two variants: one has "By John Locke Esq;" on the title-page 'Further Considerations' dated 1695 and 111 pages. The other issue has "By Mr. John Locke" on the title-page "Further Considerations" dated 1696 and 112 pages. This copy is a combination of the two with 'Further Considerations' dated 1695 and "By Mr. John Locke" on the title-page. ìëThe Great Recoinageà controversy of the 1690s was the impetus for LockeÃs writings on mercantile and monetary theory. In the 1660s Sir Josiah Child had argued that the legal rate of interest should be lowered. It was still a topic for political discussion in the early 1690s: Child was still pressing the argument and was supported by London merchants. Locke however defended a legal rate of interest but refused to fix it below the current rates. This was the occasion for his publishing Some Considerations of the Consequences of the Lowering of Interest and Raising the Value of Money in 1692. When William Lowndes Secretary of the Treasury proposed in 1695 to raise the nominal value of coins Locke slightly revised Some Considerations and also published two further pamphlets Short Considerations and Further Considerations. At that time gold and silver coins had a value equivalent to their metal content representing nothing but their silver or gold quantity. Locke rejected devaluation basing his argument on this ëcommodity theoryà of money. He considered ëraising of the denomination or the increase of alloyà to be debasement and fraudî Yolton. ìLockeÃs second major essay Further Considerations Concerning Raising the Value of Money 1695 while it reiterated many of his earlier arguments was mostly concerned with the issue of recoinage. Locke took issue with a proposal to devalue the official coinage by 20 per cent and argued strongly for recoining at the old standard the currently circulating coins debased by clipping and normal wear and tear. Money Locke argued was equivalent to gold and silver. People contracted for gold and silver and a government stamp was simply an assurance of the specie content of official coins. Hence a devaluation would only confuse trade and cause an increase in prices denominated in terms of pounds and shillingsî The New Palgrave. Einaudi. Goldsmiths'. Kress.
