Bound to style in 18th-century calf spines with raised bands forming compartments gilt lettered red morocco lettering pieces in second compartments. Restoration to the the last text leaf in volume one<br/> <br/> First edition of the fundamental historical account of South Carolina and Georgia which Howes calls "the earliest history of this region" and Winsor states is the "earliest account of South Carolina cast in a sustained retrospective spirit." Streeter<br/> <br/> Hewatt or Hewat was a Scottish-born Presbyterian minister educated at Edinburgh who presided over the Scots First Presbyterian Church in Charleston when it was Charlestown South Carolina from 1763 to 1777. When the British fleet arrived at Charlestown in 1776 Hewatt and other ministers were forced by Patriots to renounce their loyalty to the king. When he refused Hewatt was given sixty days to leave the colony. His property was seized and he returned to the British Isles and wrote this historical account in London. Considered by Howe to be the earliest and best account of Colonial South Carolina and Georgia the book is bolstered by as Streeter states Hewatt being a "keen collector of historical documents." However his work remains important today because it is also based on his personal observations as a first-hand source from over a decade of lived experience in the region. Hewatt discusses the immigration of British French and other European migrants to the Carolinas due to religious persecution at home. He examines the lives they then created in the New World and the economies they built while doing so. But Hewatt also pays especial detail to the customs and cultures of those people these settlers displaced: the indigenous Native Americans of the region. "Hewatt gives a sympathetic and balanced account of Indian life and customs. He describes the climate soil natural resources fauna snakes and insects; how to make turpentine tar and pitch; and how to cultivate silk cotton and especially rice." De Renne An opponent of slavery as many Presbyterians were he chronicles the introduction of enslaved people from Africa and the ensuing social and economic problems it caused. He criticizes slavery in the colonies and the treatment of enslaved people while maintaining that they should be given instruction in morals and religion. He also warns that to mistreat enslaved people was to "fire them with desires of liberty and vengeance." Also covered in Volume I is the Yamasee War and in Volume II the War with the Cherokee. In 1780 after the publication of this work Hewatt was awarded the Doctor of Divinity from the University of Edinburgh an indication of the success of the present book. "Hewatt's account reflects the influence of William Robertson and the Scottish school of historiography. Less concerned with a chronology of events Hewatt instead focused on the interrelatedness of those events and their various causes and effects. His goal in doing so was to provide moral political and practical instruction to the colonists and to those in England." ANB His work especially his comments on Native Americans and enslaved people were used as the basis for David Ramsay's history though it went uncredited. The first volume includes the "first set of the fundamental constitutions of South Carolina" which have been attributed to the English political philosopher John Locke because he at the time was working as a paid secretary for one of the Province of Carolina's proprietors Anthony Ashley Cooper. The historian David Armitage and the political scientist Vicki Hsueh argue he was a co-author along with Cooper the 1st Earl of Shaftesbury. The constitutions reflect Locke's classical liberalism safeguarding religious freedom while also setting up a reactionary neo-feudal form of government.<br/> <br/> Clark I 255. De Renne 217.

1751126250Florence: Andrea Bonducci 1751. Rare first edition in Italian of Some Considerations of the Consequences of the Lowering of Interest and Raising the Value of Money 1692 and Further Considerations concerning Raising the Value of Money 1695. It is the only early translation of Locke's papers on money based on the folio Works of 1740 and is furnished with extensive footnotes by the translators Giovanni Pagnini and Angelo Tavanti. It is issued here with a treatise by Pagnini appended at the end of the second volume. Locke's writings had a major influence on the then-ongoing Italian monetary debate. Economic unrest in Italy in the middle of the 18th century led to several publications on monetary theory. In the aftermath of the Succession Wars the possibility of devaluing currency to boost economic growth was considered a proposal which raised questions about Italy's move towards a commercial society and out of feudal systems. Most of the Italian writers opposed devaluation of the currency who cited Locke's similar arguments in the English recoinage crisis of the 1690s; the only major detractor was Galiani. Pagnini and Tavanti published the work in translation in the belief that Locke's ideas of sound money were relevant to the situation. "By publishing Locke's works on money in Italian Pagnini and Tavanti made available to an Italian audience a structured version of what had originally been a few long letters written to give advice on a specific issue that belonged to late seventeenth-century English politics. Yet in the following decades Locke's letters had risen to fame abroad where a myth had been formed of Locke as the defender of an honest commercial order of humankind. If Locke's letters contained a general message about commercial politics the work by Pagnini and Tavanti was supposed to bring it out" Stapelbroek p. 13. The appended treatise by Pagnini describes commercial society as one based on trust and peace; by devaluing the currency a government is undermining this society. 2 vols bound in 1 quarto 245 x 179 mm.

John Locke FRS 1632 –v1704 was an English philosopher and physician regarded as one of the most influential of Enlightenment thinkers and known as the "Father of Classical Liberalism". Considered one of the first of the British empiricists following the tradition of Sir Francis Bacon he is equally important to social contract theory. His work greatly affected the development of epistemology and political philosophy. His writings influenced Voltaire and Rousseau many Scottish Enlightenment thinkers as well as the American revolutionaries. His contributions to classical republicanism and liberal theory are reflected in the United States Declaration of Independence. 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 Locke’s first task was to ascertain ‘the original certainty and extent of human knowledge’ and excluding ‘the physical consideration of the mind to show how far it can comprehend the universe’. His conclusion is that though knowledge must necessarily fall short of complete comprehension it can at least be ‘sufficient’; enough to convince us that we are not at the mercy of pure chance and can to some extent control our own destiny" Printing and the Mind of Man Size: Small Folio 317x205mm.

The second edition of Locke's essay contains a number of important changes and additions to the text. It was the first to name Locke as the author and include the frontispiece portrait of him indicative of the celebrity Locke acquired with the publication of the first edition in 1690. "When Thomas Basset was running out of copies of the first edition in February 1693 he signed a contract with Locke to pay him ten shillings per sheet for additional materials for a new printing. These additions included an expansion of Book I Chap. IV; the chapter on power was almost entirely new; a new chapter 'Of Identity and Diversity' was inserted as 2.27 making chapters 27-31 to be renumbered as 2.28-32; and a discussion was added to 2.9.8. Other numerous additions were made throughout sectional summaries added in the margins and an analytical index supplied" Yolton. "It is Locke's second edition of the 'Essay on Human Understanding' that is the masterpiece we remember; the first 1690 edition did not bear Locke's name nor did it include a number of emendations that finished the work as Locke wanted it" Matthews Collecting Rare Books 97. "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" PMM 164. It is in this work that Locke 1632-1704 lays the foundations of British empiricism and the concept of the mind as a tabula rasa. "Locke summed up the Enlightenment in his belief in the middle class and its right to freedom of conscience and right to property in his faith in science and in his confidence in the goodness of humanity. His influence upon philosophy and political theory has been incalculable" Columbia Encyclopedia.
