A bit of overall wear but a nice and tight copy. Internally nice and clean with only some occasional soiling that is very light. Engraved title-vignette 36 - i.e. title-page dedication XXIV i.e. "The Character of Mr. Locke" by Peter Coste 2 - i.e. contents 362 18 - i.e. index 4 - i.e. errata advertisements pp. one plate "The Solar System". <br/><br/><em>First edition of this important collection of hitherto unpublished works by Locke containing the first printing of his unique work on Natural philosophy "The Elements of Natural Philosophy" as well as first printings of other important works. Assisted by Anthony Collins in 1720 the journalist Pierre Desmaizeaux brought out a new collection of Works and pieces by John Locke that had not previously been published. This collection "A Collection of Several Pieces" came to play a great role in the Locke scholarship not least in recent times and not least because it contains the first printing of his "Elements of Natural Philosophy"The "Elements of Natural Philosophy" constitutes Locke's main work in natural philosophy and it is a work that pas puzzled Locke scholars and readers ever since its appearance. The work seems to need some further explanation; at a firsthand glance it doesn't look very much like Locke - the greatest of the English philosophers who has so frequently been accused of not understanding the exact sciences and who even encouraged the youth not to learn these but to educate themselves in superficial and useful party-conversation. Thus numerous attempts have been made to establish the influence that resulted in this educational work of natural science. The two dominating answers to the question of influence are now: Newton and Descartes. It now seems to be fairly commonly recognized that Newton a personal friend of Locke even contributed directly to the work. "When Locke himself at the end of his life came to compose a treatise on natural philosophy for a pupil we have reason to believe that he obtained the advice and help of the most brilliant scientist of the century his close friend Isaac Newton. As we shall see this unique educational work itself "The Elements of Natural Philosophy" belies the myth of Locke the scientific smatterer." Axtell Locke Newton and the Elements of Natural Philosophy p. 244. However Descartes influence also seems to be obvious; "The influence of the "Principles" by Descartes is also obvious in Locke's posthumously published "Elements of Natural Philosophy". There is a striking similarity in the order of exposition although there are also considerable differences: Locke carefully eschewed Descartes' "a priori" metahpysics of nature. We find him rather emphasizing the essential role of experience. For example Locke introduced Newtonian universal gravitation as follows:. Thus according to Locke empirical support was necessary to establish the law of nature. Although the exposition looks quite similar to Descartes' "Principles" the "Elements" in fact contain several anti-Cartesian remarks in favour of the experimental philosophy." Aoki Descartes and Locke on the Nature of Matter. In: Hutton and Schuurmann edt. Studies on Locke p. 77."Elements of Natural Philosophy" was printed in no less than nine times during the 1th century and appeared in both Russian and French during the 18th century as well.The present "Collection of several Pieces" furthermore included a collection of letters from Locke to Anthony Collins "Remarks upon some of Mr. Norris's Books." "Some Thoughts concerning Reading and Study for a Gentleman." and "Rules of a society." all printed here for the first time as well as an English translation of Coste's Eulogy "The Character of Mr. Locke" originally published in French in 1705 and reprints of "The fundamental Constitutions of Carolina" and "A Letter from a person of Quality."."Remarks upon some of Mr. Norris's books." is the third of Locke's replies to Norris. "Some thoughts concerning reading and study for a gentleman" constitutes Locke's reply to Samuel Bold's question on behalf of a parishioner on how to create a course of reading and study. "Rules of a Society" constitutes the rules that Locke set up for a small group of friends who met once a week to discuss "useful Knowledge" and to promote "Truth and Christian Charity". Throughout his life Locke created several of these "societies" one of which led to his "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding" another one being "The College" in London after the Revolution. </em> hardcover

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
