Jean Yolton notes that N. Petter Nidditch estimates this edition to be printed in 800 copies. John Locke 1632-1704 philosopher and fellow of the Royal Society was the secretary and close associate of Ashby the first Earl of Shaftsbury and Lord Chancellor. This "Essay" established him as the leading philosopher of his day and together with letters upon religious toleration provided the basis for Whig political thought for the next century and paved the way for the later philosophies of Bentham and the radicals. // Considered the father of English empiricism Locke "was 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 Lockeâ€™s first task was to ascertain â€˜the original certainty and extent of human knowledgeâ€™ and excluding â€˜the physical consideration of the mind to show how far it can comprehend the universeâ€™. His conclusion is that though knowledge must necessarily fall short of complete comprehension it can at least be â€˜sufficientâ€™; enough to convince us that we are not at the mercy of pure chance and to some extent control our own destiny." - Printing of the Mind of Man. 164.

The Heart is a Lonely Hunter Original screenplay for the 1968 film

1963146288N.p.: The Landau Company 1963. Draft script for the 1968 film. As early as 1950 there was talk of adapting Carson McCullers' 1940 debut novel "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" for the screen. In 1963 producer David Susskind took over Jose Quintero's attempt at adapting the novel which began two years earlier with a script from British screenwriter Gavin Lambert. Susskind passed on Lambert's script opting for a script from Thomas C. Ryan. Susskind planned to shoot the film in New York City with director Sidney Lumet but the project ended up being held up indefinitely. Four years later Marc Merson's Brownstone Productions had taken over the film rights with Thomas C. Ryan's original 1963 script and with Ryan co-producing. During filming Ryan and director Robert Ellis Miller would make extensive re-writes as they went. One of the great film adaptations of any American novel starring Sondra Locke in her debut film opposite Alan Arkin. Although much of the political aspect of McCullers' novel was removed from the film the themes present in the author's work are readily apparent: race loneliness impoverishment and anger. Arkin and Locke were nominated for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress Oscars. Set in in a small Southern town shot on location in Selma Alabama. Red titled vinyl Hart Stenographic Bureau wrappers. Title page present dated 8/26/63 with credits for novelist Carson McCullers and screenwriter Thomas C. Ryan. 130 leaves with last page of text numbered 127. Mimeographed rectos only with pink revision pages throughout dated 8/26/63.
