Contemporary blind-panelled speckled calf neatly rebacked and recornered in brown morocco contrasting red morocco lettering-piece gilt. Binding a trifle rubbed and a little marked new endpapers. Small rust hole to G3 without loss of sense else a crisp and clean copy. The third edition but first appearance with this title of a collection of scriptural excerpts collected together thematically which was first published as Graphautarkeia London 1676. The authorship is unknown but it is commonly misattributed to John Locke presumably because his own system of common-placing was outlined in an appendix to Humane understanding - despite this work not being organised in his fashion - to the extent that several nineteenth-century editions featured the philosopher's name in their titles.

London 1690 but the 5th edition the first appeared 1700. The translator Pierre Coste knew Locke well and the translation was approved by Locke himself. - Lockes investigations into the foundations of human knowledge "was continued by Hume and Kant; Hume enquired critically into 'the real nature of that evidence which assures us any real existence.beyond the testimony of our senses; Kant tried to explain the rational constitution of experience. Locke's design was less penetrating and subtle but it covers a remarkably wide field of investigation into human knowledge: it is the first modern attempt to analyse it."

17923890<p>Uppsala: Veuve du directeur Jean Edman 1792. Rare French edition printed in Uppsala of the abridgement of the Essay on Human Understanding by John Wynne the format in which Locke's thought was most effectively popularized at English universities and in Europe. "In the last decade of the seventeenth century English culture held a frustrated fascination for the continental Republic of Letters. Frustrated because few Europeans could approach English ideas in the English language. Gabriel Bonno1 has shown how Locke's continental readers were dependent initially upon reviews in French-language journals – Basnage de Beauval's Histoire des ouvrages des savans Bernard's Nouvelles de la r�publique des lettres and particularly Le Clerc's Biblioth�que universelle and its successors. Interested parties such as Limborch and Leibniz did not really come to grips with the Essay until it had been translated into French. This was accomplished in 1700 by Pierre Coste.Coste was like Le Clerc a French Protestant refugee in Holland. In 1695 he translated Locke's Some thoughts concerning education into French and sent the author a copy. Locke was pleased and Le Clerc encouraged the young man to begin translating the Essay. In 1697 Coste was invited to Locke's retreat at Oates as tutor to the Masham children and as Locke's assistant. The translation was completed under Locke's supervision and was published in June 1700 prefaced with Locke's recommendation. Coste remained at Oates until Locke's death in 1704. Thereafter in the midst of a busy literary career he continued his work on the Essay bringing out a revised edition in 1729." AttigThe first French edition of Wynne's abridged Essay came out in 1720 translated by Jean-Paul Bosset and with the first book given in Le Clerk's summary reprinted from his 1690 Bibliot�que universelle rather than Wynne's.

196714212Camp LaGuardia NY 1967. Original 2pp typed letter on two sides of a sheet of hotel letterhead dated 31 July 1967. Addressed: Dear Ben Shahn signed in ink "Ed Locke." Three old folds else fine. A warm and personal letter from Shahn's old friend and fellow FSA photographer including and commenting on two poems Locke has written: ".a bit of formal verse has crowded into my mind four-square.I'd not send you these trivia except as evidence that my heart is beating in some fashion.I'm inflicting the verses upon you not just because you encouraged me but because they are a sort of safety-valve. What an ancient square I am! I slip into a villanelle as though it were my own coat. Do you ever doodle with your brush" <br/><br/>Though his talents lay more in the realm of writing and editing than photography Edwin Locke worked for three years as Roy Stryker's main assistant at the FSA where in addition to editorial tasks he participated in a number of documentary photo shoots including an important collaboration with Walker Evans to document victims of the 1937 Arkansas Flood. His association with Shahn would have dated from this period as Shahn and Stryker were extremely close colleagues in Washington first in the Special Skills section of the Resettlement Administration and later in the art section of the FSA. unknown books
