186034566New York: Horace Greeley & Co. 1860. 32pp caption title as issued printed in double columns. Stitched. Mild toning Very Good. <br/><br/> This "earliest Scripps biography" Monaghan was first printed in Chicago in July 1860. Our New York imprint was "printed from plates cast from the same type forms" as the Chicago edition Wessen. It touches the major events of Lincoln's life and career devoid of some of the more romantic mythology e.g. Ms. Rutledge but including the far-fetched notion that Lincoln deliberately lost the 1858 Senatorial race in order to enhance his presidential prospects. <br/> Howes calls it the "most authentic of Lincoln campaign biographies." Lincoln's short-lived career in Congress is reviewed including his opposition to the Mexican War and his support of the Wilmot Proviso. A 'must' for the Lincoln or Presidential campaign collection. <br/>Howes S247a aa. Monaghan 79. Miles 418a. Wessen 12. LCP 9235. Horace Greeley & Co. unknown books
169724368<p><strong>1697 John LOCKE Commonplace Book BIBLE Interpretation Miracles Demons Angels </strong></p><p><em>"I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts." </em></p><p><em>– John Locke </em></p><p>John Locke was without question one of the world's most important philosophical thinkers. He published books on human understanding and was the first to describe the idea of 'blank state' of the mind. However in 1685 Locke published the first of his 'commonplace books' in which he described the formulas for understanding ideas quotations and sayings. This style of writing proved effective for learners so many other writers began publishing common-place books to build on the popularity established by Locke.</p><p>One such work was "<em>A Commonplace Book to the Holy Bible</em>" – an anonymously published supplement to scripture reading and interpretation. It provides extensive descriptions on the character of God the relationship between Christ and the church on saints and the roles and duties believers. This book has long been attributed to John Locke but this attribution has been contested in modern scholarship.</p><p>Item number: #24368</p><p>Price: $995</p><p>LOCKE John attributed</p><p><strong><em>A common-place book to the Holy Bible or The scriptures sufficiency practically demonstrated wherein whatsoever is contain'd in scripture</em></strong></p><p>London: printed by Jones for Awnsham and Churchil 1697.</p><p><u>Details</u>: </p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->· <!--endif-->Collation: Complete</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->o <!--endif-->16 310 10</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->· <!--endif-->References: Wing L 2737</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->· <!--endif-->Language: English</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->· <!--endif-->Binding: Leather; tight and secure</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->· <!--endif-->Size: ~8in X 6.5in 20.5cm x 16.5cm</p><p>Our Guarantee:</p><p>Very Fast.
