182525124London: Thomas Tegg 1825. Twenty-Fifth edition. Hardcover. g. Quarto. XVI 568pp. Uncut. Original paper covered boards. Engraved frontispiece portrait of the author. An "Essay Concerning Human Understanding" is one of John Locke's two most famous works the other being his "Second Treatise on Civil Government". First appearing in 1690 the essay concerns the foundation of human knowledge and understanding. He describes the mind at birth as a blank slate tabula rasa although he did not use those actual words filled later through experience. The essay was one of the principal sources of empiricism in modern philosophy and influenced many enlightenment philosophers such as David Hume and Bishop Berkeley. Book II of the Essay sets out Locke's theory of ideas including his distinction between passively acquired simple ideas such as "red" "sweet" "round" etc. and actively built complex ideas such as numbers causes and effects abstract ideas ideas of substances identity and diversity. Locke also distinguishes between the truly existing primary qualities of bodies like shape motion and the arrangement of minute particles and the secondary qualities that are "powers to produce various sensations in us" such as "red" and "sweet." These secondary qualities Locke claims are dependent on the primary qualities. He also offers a theory of personal identity offering a largely psychological criterion. Book III is concerned with language and Book IV with knowledge including intuition mathematics moral philosophy natural philosophy "science" faith and opinion. This work contains a large folding chart being an analysis of Mr Locke's doctrine of ideas in his essay on human understanding. Some age wear on binding with spine missing and age-toning on covers. Previous owner's signature on free front endpaper. Sporadic foxing on endpapers and very first pages. Binding in overall poor interior in near fine condition. Thomas Tegg hardcover

"The chief object of my work is to show that the extraordinary rapidity with which the enormous area described in it - equalling all Europe in size - was colonized was due to the discovery in 1847 of some 'glittering particles of gold' during the prosecution of an industrial work for practically the then only white settler in north California. It is intended also by giving on the one hand an account of the physical conditions which obtained within this immense territory prior to and at the time of that discovery and of the interesting and adventurous explorations through which those condition were made known and on the other hand an account of the wonderful changes brought about by the sudden intrsuion into it of a vigorous civilized people to afford my readers some idear of the impulse given to western settlement by that discoveru an impulse which was soon afterwards strongly felt both in Australia and New Zealand.
