169064538The First Modern Attempt to Analyze Human Knowledge LOCKE John. An Essay Concerning Humane Human Understanding. In Four Books. London: Printed by Elizabeth Holt for Tho. Basset and sold by Edw. Mory 1690. First edition title-page containing the inverted ìSSî of ìEssayî the type ornament composed of twenty-three pieces and without Elizabeth HoltÃs name in the imprint. With the dedication undated and with the errata uncorrected. It was once thought that the Holt imprint was the priority but recent studies have noted that the priority cannot be established. In his introduction to the Clarendon Press edition of the"Essay" Peter Nidditch changes his former opinion that the Holt imprint is the first issue and John Attig's bibliography records it as a varient. Folio 12 5/8 x 7 7/8 inches; 320 x 200 mm. 12 362 22 Contents pp. Pages 287 296 and 303 misnumbered 269 294 and 230 respectively. Contemporary brown mottled calf. Boards ruled in blind. Spine in six compartments lettered in gilt on brown calf spine label. Edges speckled red. Expertly rebacked to style with corners repaired. Title page is short at the fore-edge by half an inch due to the stub being turned behind A4. Marginal paper flaws on D1 P 3 and Dd3 not affecting text. Very small marginal hole on Hh not affecting text. The errata are corrected by a contemporary hand with ink and there are two contemporary ink notes on the back free endpaper. Locke's name is written in a contemporary hand on the title page as "IOHN LOCK: Gent:" Previous owner's name Brockett on the back pastedown. Previous owner's name Samuel Gaskell on the top margin of title page and previoue owner's name Roger Gaskell dated 1813 on front free endpaper. A very clean and crisp copy in an excellent contemporary binding. Locke 1632-1704 considered the father of English empiricism ìwas 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 LockeÃs first task was to ascertain ëthe original certainty and extent of human knowledgeà and excluding ëthe physical consideration of the mind to show how far it can comprehend the universeÃ. His conclusion is that though knowledge must necessarily fall short of complete comprehension it can at least be ësufficientÃ; enough to convince us that we are not at the mercy of pure chance and can to some extent control our own destinyî Printing and the Mind of Man. LockeÃs investigation was continued by Hume and Kant. John Stuart Mill considered him to be the founder of the analytic philosophy of mind. Attig 228. Grolier 100 English 36.

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.
