182525124London: Thomas Tegg 1825. Twenty-Fifth edition. Hardcover. g. Quarto. XVI 568pp. Uncut. Original paper covered boards. Engraved frontispiece portrait of the author. An "Essay Concerning Human Understanding" is one of John Locke's two most famous works the other being his "Second Treatise on Civil Government". First appearing in 1690 the essay concerns the foundation of human knowledge and understanding. He describes the mind at birth as a blank slate tabula rasa although he did not use those actual words filled later through experience. The essay was one of the principal sources of empiricism in modern philosophy and influenced many enlightenment philosophers such as David Hume and Bishop Berkeley. Book II of the Essay sets out Locke's theory of ideas including his distinction between passively acquired simple ideas such as "red" "sweet" "round" etc. and actively built complex ideas such as numbers causes and effects abstract ideas ideas of substances identity and diversity. Locke also distinguishes between the truly existing primary qualities of bodies like shape motion and the arrangement of minute particles and the secondary qualities that are "powers to produce various sensations in us" such as "red" and "sweet." These secondary qualities Locke claims are dependent on the primary qualities. He also offers a theory of personal identity offering a largely psychological criterion. Book III is concerned with language and Book IV with knowledge including intuition mathematics moral philosophy natural philosophy "science" faith and opinion. This work contains a large folding chart being an analysis of Mr Locke's doctrine of ideas in his essay on human understanding. Some age wear on binding with spine missing and age-toning on covers.

"Justin Winsor calls this work the 'earliest account of South Carolina cast in a sustained retrospective spirit'. Hewatt an Englishman who at one time lived at Charleston was a keen collector of historical documents". Streeter II 1133. "In Volume I Hewatt gives a sympathetic and balanced account of Indian life and customs based in part on his own observations. He describes the climate soil natural resources fauna snakes and insects; how to make turpentine tar and pitch; and how to cultivate silk cotton and especially rice. In Volume II he describes and criticizes slavery in the colonies and the treatment of slaves; he maintains that slaves should be given some instruction in morals and religion. He discusses diseases in Carolina and describes the cultivation of indigo in some detail. His factual account of the 'present state and condition of the colony' probably refers to the latter 1760s or early 1770s; he quotes some statistics of 1776." Clark I 225. De Renne 217. Turnbull I 223. <br><br>ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Alexander Hewatt came to Charleston in 1763 as minister of the Scots First Presbyterian Church there. Fascinated with the history of South Carolina he soon became a keen collector of historical documents. When the British fleet arrived at Charleston in 1776 Hewatt and other ministers were required to renounce their loyalty to the king. When he refused Hewatt was given sixty days to leave the colony. He sailed for Great Britain where he devoted the next two years to completing his history. In 1780 he was awarded the Doctor of Divinity form the University of Edinburgh an indication of the esteem in which he and his work were held. "Hewatt's account reflects the influence of William Robertson and the Scottish school of historiography. less concerned with a strict chronology of events Hewatt instead focused on the interrelatedness of those events and their various causes and effects. His goal in doing so was to provide moral political and practical instruction to the colonists and to those in England" both of whom he hoped would see the importance of continuing South Carolina's close ties to the Crown" ANB. The work includes detailed descriptions of the climate topography and fauna of South Carolina as well as discussions of slavery there. He warned that the mistreatment of slaves was likely to "fire them with desires of liberty and vengeance." Chapter 5 in the first volume includes a full account of the Yamasee War while chapter 10 is devoted to the war with the Cherokee. <br><br>CONDITION: This set is overall VG with general shelf wear.

Bound to style in 18th-century calf spines with raised bands forming compartments gilt lettered red morocco lettering pieces in second compartments. Restoration to the the last text leaf in volume one<br/> <br/> First edition of the fundamental historical account of South Carolina and Georgia which Howes calls "the earliest history of this region" and Winsor states is the "earliest account of South Carolina cast in a sustained retrospective spirit." Streeter<br/> <br/> Hewatt or Hewat was a Scottish-born Presbyterian minister educated at Edinburgh who presided over the Scots First Presbyterian Church in Charleston when it was Charlestown South Carolina from 1763 to 1777. When the British fleet arrived at Charlestown in 1776 Hewatt and other ministers were forced by Patriots to renounce their loyalty to the king. When he refused Hewatt was given sixty days to leave the colony. His property was seized and he returned to the British Isles and wrote this historical account in London. Considered by Howe to be the earliest and best account of Colonial South Carolina and Georgia the book is bolstered by as Streeter states Hewatt being a "keen collector of historical documents." However his work remains important today because it is also based on his personal observations as a first-hand source from over a decade of lived experience in the region. Hewatt discusses the immigration of British French and other European migrants to the Carolinas due to religious persecution at home. He examines the lives they then created in the New World and the economies they built while doing so. But Hewatt also pays especial detail to the customs and cultures of those people these settlers displaced: the indigenous Native Americans of the region. "Hewatt gives a sympathetic and balanced account of Indian life and customs. He describes the climate soil natural resources fauna snakes and insects; how to make turpentine tar and pitch; and how to cultivate silk cotton and especially rice." De Renne An opponent of slavery as many Presbyterians were he chronicles the introduction of enslaved people from Africa and the ensuing social and economic problems it caused. He criticizes slavery in the colonies and the treatment of enslaved people while maintaining that they should be given instruction in morals and religion. He also warns that to mistreat enslaved people was to "fire them with desires of liberty and vengeance." Also covered in Volume I is the Yamasee War and in Volume II the War with the Cherokee. In 1780 after the publication of this work Hewatt was awarded the Doctor of Divinity from the University of Edinburgh an indication of the success of the present book. "Hewatt's account reflects the influence of William Robertson and the Scottish school of historiography. Less concerned with a chronology of events Hewatt instead focused on the interrelatedness of those events and their various causes and effects. His goal in doing so was to provide moral political and practical instruction to the colonists and to those in England." ANB His work especially his comments on Native Americans and enslaved people were used as the basis for David Ramsay's history though it went uncredited. The first volume includes the "first set of the fundamental constitutions of South Carolina" which have been attributed to the English political philosopher John Locke because he at the time was working as a paid secretary for one of the Province of Carolina's proprietors Anthony Ashley Cooper. The historian David Armitage and the political scientist Vicki Hsueh argue he was a co-author along with Cooper the 1st Earl of Shaftesbury. The constitutions reflect Locke's classical liberalism safeguarding religious freedom while also setting up a reactionary neo-feudal form of government.<br/> <br/> Clark I 255. De Renne 217.
