Published after the Glorious Revolution of 1688 brought William of Orange and Mary to the throne but written in the throes of the Whig revolutionary plots against Charles II in the early 1680s John Locke offers a theory of natural law and natural rights which distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate civil governments and argues for the legitimacy of revolt against tyrannical governments. These radical ideas remain influential today. In these two treatises the political philosopher John Locke espouses radical theories which influenced the ideologies of the American and French revolutions and became the basis for the social and political philosophies of Rousseau Voltaire and the United States founding fathers. In the first treatise Locke aims to refute the doctrine of the patriarchal and absolute right of the Divine Right of Kings doctrine put forth by Sir Robert Filmer's Patriarcha. He examines key Biblical passages to prove that scripture does not support Filmer's premise. The second treatise offers Locke's positive theory of government in which he establishes a theory which reconciles the liberty of the citizen with political order. His basic premise is founded on the independence of the individual. He declares that men are born free and equal in their rights and that wealth is the product of labor. In his revolutionary theory of the social contract he proposes that a legitimate civil government must preserve the rights to life liberty health and property of its citizens and prosecute and punish those in violation of those rights.

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. It was published several times in London 1720 1741 1746 1751 as well as Geneva 1738 1741 1788 Dresden 1788 and finally Uppsala 1792.OCLC: Harvard UCLA York.Hollis record. 8vo 17 x 11 x pp. including title with half-page engraved portrait of Locke 284 4 pp. Bound in contemporary half calf and speckled boards gilt morocco title label and raised bands on spine spine and corners of covers worn old ownership inscription on front end pastedown light toning throughout very good.</p> Veuve du directeur Jean Edman hardcover books

Pagination: 40 407 1 12 pp. Frontispiece engraved portrait of Locke by Sylvester Brounower and P. Vanderbanck; faint dampstain or rippling to bottom margin. Modern blue cloth over marbled boards red morocco title-label I1 large tear repaired old owner’s inscription penned over on top of title page J.B.S. Very good. THIRD EDITION; first printed in 1689. 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 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 to some extent control our own destiny." - Printing of the Mind of Man. 164.

1693LV2329London:: Awnsham & John Churchill 1693. 1693. Small octavo. Collation: A4 B-R8 S4. Pagination: viii 262 2 pp. Modern antique-style spotted paneled calf red morocco spine label edges speckled red old endpapers preserved; some marginal worming G3-N8 with occasional effect to printed text but confined to lower margin some abrasion to fore-edge. Otherwise a fine copy. First Edition "corrected" issue. There has been much discussion of the "states" of the first edition. This copy has the square ornament on the title-page the rules are 13mm below the type and ‘patronage’ on A3v line 19. In addition this copy has the catchword "I" found on A2v indicative of a first printing and not the reprint wherein one finds the catchword altered to "I my". "Locke was known to be concerned at the quality of the printing of his writings and to try to read the sheets before they were finally printed . . . I think the Churchills completed printing the first edition before Locke had made corrections; that he was so incensed by the errors that he insisted the whole first edition be suppressed and the barely distinguishable second edition be made." - Yolton. This copy has most of the corrections but lacks a few at the front of the volume and apparently is made up of some mixed sheets from the first printing. // It quickly became one of his most popular and influential works and is more or less a direct application of Locke’s empiricism as expressed in his Essay Concerning Human Understanding. // From the beginning Some Thoughts Concerning Education was initiated in 1684 with a correspondence with Locke’s friend Edward Clarke. The letters offered to Clarke advice for raising his son and heir. But it was not until William Molyneux encouraged Locke in 1693 to publish this book based on the advice given and even then issuing the first edition without his name on the title. // This work is a cornerstone in educational theory and is further considered a foundation of the principles of modern developmental psychology. "His thought was marked by a ready understanding of and warm sympathy with children. Three main thoughts dominate the work. First the individual aptitudes capacities and idiosyncrasies of the child should govern learning not arbitrary curricular or rote learning taught by the rod. Second Locke placed the health of the body and the development of a sound character ahead of intellectual learning. In the third place he saw that play high spirits and the ‘gamesome humor’ natural to children should govern the business of learning wherever possible. . . His influence on educational thought was enormous and is still very much with us in its fundamental outlook and method." - Encyclopedia of Philosophy.
