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.

Contemporary tree sheep red morocco labels. Rubbed spine of first volume worn upper joints cracking some chipping of spines browning and offsetting of text signatures of Chileah B. Merrick.

The first American complete edition an abridged version having been published in Boston in 1794. Folding table at front. 3 vols. 12mo. In 18th century America as it was the age of reason and Enlightenment the colonists needed the justification or rationalization of their disagreement and resultant actions with England citing their immutable rights as Englishmen and quoting the basic English institutions. As the "philosopher of the Enlightenment" Locke's theories and writings were seized upon by the colonists especially with Locke's "doctrine of natural rights" his theories on "life liberty and property" religious toleration and proper representation in government. His writings gave the colonist a firm foundation upon which to base many of their statements. To Locke goes much of the credit for many of the ideas forming the Virginia Declaration of Rights drafted by George Mason. Many of the other states used that constitution as a basis for their own. Locke's advocacy of a "laissez faire" economic policy was shared by Jefferson who agreed with the idea that the "government is best which governs least" Cohen "American Thought" p. 132. The conclusion reached in the "Essay" "that though knowledge must necessarily fall short of complete comprehension it can at least be 'sufficient'; enough to convince us that we are not at the mercy of pure chance and can of some extent control our own destiny" summarizes American intent and beliefs.

Jean Yolton notes that N. Petter Nidditch estimates this edition to be printed in 800 copies. John Locke 1632-1704 philosopher and fellow of the Royal Society was the secretary and close associate of Ashby the first Earl of Shaftsbury and Lord Chancellor. This "Essay" established him as the leading philosopher of his day and together with letters upon religious toleration provided the basis for Whig political thought for the next century and paved the way for the later philosophies of Bentham and the radicals. // Considered the father of English empiricism Locke "was the first to take up the challenge of Bacon and to attempt to estimate critically the certainty and the adequacy of human knowledge when confronted with God and the universe. In the past similar enquiries had been vitiated by the human propensity to extend them beyond the range of human understanding and to invent causes for what it cannot explain. Therefore Locke’s first task was to ascertain ‘the original certainty and extent of human knowledge’ and excluding ‘the physical consideration of the mind to show how far it can comprehend the universe’. His conclusion is that though knowledge must necessarily fall short of complete comprehension it can at least be ‘sufficient’; enough to convince us that we are not at the mercy of pure chance and to some extent control our own destiny." - Printing of the Mind of Man. 164.
