Two Treatises of Government: In the Former The False Principles and Foundation of Sir Robert Filmer and His Followers are Detected and Overthrown.

New. $14.95 Reprint of the third edition. 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. JOHN LOCKE 1632-1704 a leading philosopher of the Enlightenment is widely considered to be the father of liberalism. He was initially trained as a physician receiving a doctorate in medicine at Oxford. He was an important influence on Monte. unknown books

30825<p>quarto two pages plus stamp-less address leaf in very good clean condition.</p><p> Locke writes:</p><p> "… in case I get any money for I am distressingly short just now … I have provided myself with a ticket for the Roxbury Lyceum course of lectures which began last evening. Introductory by Mr. Webster on popular education. It was a very good one but the views were not sound. He attributed the general increase of popular knowledge to the application of science… and to general use of labor saving machines or rather as he called them <u>Labordoing</u> machines which by doing up the work afford much time for the improvement of the mind. He then went on to state that the more of these things the better and advocate the encouragement of monopolies and corporations for the purpose of carrying on all sorts of Business manufactures and machinery operations – Now that is just the trouble with his whig principles. The poor man forgot to mention that in England the land of monopolies and of corporations and of capital and of Laboring machines the poorer laboring classes are in a far less agreeable situation than the same are with us. How ignorant and degraded are they in comparison to ours. Poor man he forgot that in the land where his favorite system is in the fullest operation there its effect which sounds so well in theory in practice has a most unfavorable effect. Webster knows better than to stick so closely to the miserable English system of Political Economy He does it all to compliment the Boston people…"</p> Little is known about the astute 21 year-old writer whose life was sadly short. Born in Fitzwilliam New Hampshire he came to Massachusetts to care for a farm owned by his family. Less than ten years later he died in Arkansas at age 29. As for Daniel Webster his 1836 speech at Roxbury may have been a rehearsal for an address he delivered two years later on the floor of the United States Senate in which he lauded Massachusetts as the most "highly civilized society" on earth with the greatest "equality in the condition of men" all of whom might be called "aristocrats". He also praised science for "creating millions of laborers in the form of machines all but automatic" surely one of the earliest American tribute to automation in the era of the British Luddites. books

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
