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.

These are not only an important source in understanding Locke's late and mature view on religion but are probably the most famous and indebt discussions related to his seminal work "An Essay concerning Humane Understanding" Locke engaged in. The topic is of special interest since: "Religion and Christianity in particular is perhaps the most important influence on the shape of Locke's philosophy". SEP: John Locke. The debate was essentially about Locke's definition of substance in "An Essay.". Stillingfleet argued that Locke advocated against dualism mind - body and thereby opening a door to Unitarianism. Locke did not support this view he however did not clearly reject the notion of Unitarianism and Socinianism. The volume contains the following:1. Bernoulli Jakob. Circinus proportionum nauticus scala loxodromica instructus. Pp. 91-3.2. Bernoulli Johann. Cycloidis primariae segmenta innumera quadraturam recipienta. Pp. 316-20 one engraved plate. 3.

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

Lockes treatise grew out of a correspondence dating from 1684 between himself and his friend Edward Clarke whom he was advising on the education of his son. Locke was in Holland at the time. "His thought was marked by a ready understanding of and 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. Compulsory learning is irksome; where there is play in learning there is also joy in it. Throughout he placed emphasis on good example practice and use rather than on precepts rules and punishment. The work was an implicit criticism of his own education at Westminster and Oxford which he found unpleasant and largely useless." James Gordon Clapp Encyc. of Philosophy p. 500 Wing 2762A.
