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

169166937A Founding Document of Democracy The First of John LockeÃs Works to be Translated from His Native English LOCKE John. Du gouvernement civil ou l'on traitte de l'origine des fondemens de la nature du pouvoir et des fins des societe politiques. Traduit de l'Anglois. Amsterdam: Chez Abraham Wolfgang 1691. First edition in French of LockeÃs groundbeaking work and the first of his works to be translated from his native English.

Contemporary light salmon paper over boards rebacked at a very early date in similar paper manuscript spine lettering red speckled edges. Small number of upper blank of title and front endpaper. Housed in a quarter morocco clamshell case. Overall an excellent copy; very clean and in a contemporary binding. Originally published in 1690 as ëTwo Treatises of GovernmentÃ. ìLockeÃs anonymous text is here an anonymous translation traditionally attributed to David Mazel. ëOne of the Huguenot pastors living in Hollandà of the second treatise in its 1R version with the first chapter omittedì Yolton. ìThe second treatise contains a plain statement of the principles of democracy. In an age and country in which the practice of democracy had just been triumphantly vindicated LockeÃs theories although anticipated to some degree by the ëWhigà tradition of political thought-Aristotle Aquinas Hooker Grotius-had all the freshness of novelty. Like Hooker Locke presupposes an original and necessary law of reason and bases the constitution of society on it rather than on the de facto existence of a government based on the actual submission of the governed to the rulers. This consent is thus a prior condition of the ësocial contractà not a result of it so that the civil rulers hold their power not absolutely but conditionally; government being essentially a moral trust which lapses if the trustees fail to maintain their side of the contract. Locke was to reinforce these liberal opinions by his Letters on Tolerance and they combine with the Treatises on Government to provide a classic example of the empirical approach to the social and political economy which has remained ever since the basis of the principles of democracyî PMM. Its influence on the development of French and American political though cannot be overstated. Graesse IV 243. Printing and the Mind of Man 163. Yolton Locke 46.
