An Essay Concerning Humane Understanding.

LOCKE John.ABAA

Some Thoughts Concerning Education.

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 â€˜patronageâ€™ 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 Lockeâ€™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 Lockeâ€™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 â€˜gamesome humorâ€™ 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.

180365066Boston: Printed by David Carlisle for Thomas & Andrews Joseph Nancrede William P. & Lemuel Blake West & Greenleaf James White & Co. John West and Caleb Bingham 1803. First American from the twentieth London edition. The first American complete edition an abridged version having been published in Boston in 1794. Folding table at front. 3 vols. 12mo. Contemporary tree sheep red morocco labels. Rubbed spine of first volume worn upper joints cracking some chipping of spines browning and offsetting of text signatures of Chileah B. Merrick. Brown cloth open-end case. A good copy of this cornerstone of American policy. First American from the twentieth London edition. The first American complete edition an abridged version having been published in Boston in 1794. Folding table at front. 3 vols. 12mo. In 18th century America as it was the age of reason and Enlightenment the colonists needed the justification or rationalization of their disagreement and resultant actions with England citing their immutable rights as Englishmen and quoting the basic English institutions. As the "philosopher of the Enlightenment" Locke's theories and writings were seized upon by the colonists especially with Locke's "doctrine of natural rights" his theories on "life liberty and property" religious toleration and proper representation in government. His writings gave the colonist a firm foundation upon which to base many of their statements. To Locke goes much of the credit for many of the ideas forming the Virginia Declaration of Rights drafted by George Mason. Many of the other states used that constitution as a basis for their own. Locke's advocacy of a "laissez faire" economic policy was shared by Jefferson who agreed with the idea that the "government is best which governs least" Cohen "American Thought" p. 132. The conclusion reached in the "Essay" "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 of some extent control our own destiny" summarizes American intent and beliefs. Attig "John Locke" pp. 40-41; Boring "History of Experimental Psychology." pp. 170 ff; PMM 164 for the 1690 first edition; Roback "A History of Psychology and Psychiatry" pp. 33 ff; Shaw and Shoemaker 4533; Library Company of Philadelphia "First American Editions" 6 which quotes Franklin as describing is as "the best Book of Logick in the World" Not in Yolton Printed by David Carlisle for Thomas & Andrews, Joseph Nancrede, William P. & Lemuel Blake, West & Greenleaf, James White & Co., unknown books
