Most important for the 1st English edition of "A Treatise on Man and the Development of His Faculties" Quetelet's foundational work of social statistics first published in French "Sur l'homme et le développement de ses facultés". This edition contains a new preface by the author to defend his work from objections brought against it subsequent to the publication of the Paris edition of 1835. Quetelet's goal was to understand the statistical laws underlying crime rates marriage rates or suicide rates correlating them with other social factors. "With Quetelet's work . . . a new era in statistics began. It presented a new technique of statistics or rather the first technique at all. The material was thoughtfully elaborated arranged according to certain preestablished principles and made comparable . . . Quetelet's average man became a slogan in ninetheenth-century discussions on social science . . . Quetelet's impact on nineteenth century thinking can in a certain sense be compared with Descartes's in the seventeenth century" DSB XI p.237. <br /> <br /> 8vo x 5-126 pp text in two columns 7 lithographed plates at the end.

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
