In the preface to Appearance and Reality he describes the work as a 'critical discussion of first principles' intended to provoke inquiry and doubt. While his followers had expected a defence of religious truths Bradley instead contended that although reality is spiritual a full demonstration of this concept is beyond human comprehension due to the abstract nature of thought. 'Instead of ideas which could not properly contain reality he recommended feeling the immediacy of which could embrace the harmonious nature of reality' Britannica.T.S. Eliot whose unpresented doctoral thesis at Harvard was concerned with Bradley it was eventually published in 1964 as Knowledge and Experience in the Philosophy of F.H. Bradley cites the philosopher in the notes to The Waste Land.Provenance: This copy belonged to Spenser Farquharson likely Arthur Spencer Loat Farquharson 1871-1942 the British classicist translator and Dean of University College Oxford.

1803637M31London: Printed for R. Phillips 1803-1806. Leather. Very Good. 8.5" by 6". Various. Two very scarce copies of volume IX and XV of the fascinating 'Medical and Physical Journal'; reportedly used at a British Military Hospital in the village of So Pedro de Rio Seco during the Peninsular War of 1807 to 1814. 'The Medical and Physical Journal' was first published in 1799 and contained accounts of current events in medicine brief book reviews and numerous essays on surgery pharmacy chemistry and natural history. This two volume set contains Vol IX January to June 1803 and Vol XV January to June 1806; exploring such fascinating topics as yellow fever leprosy influenza Vol IX and inoculation hydrophobia and medical reform vol XV to name a few. Volume IX collated complete with four pages of plates one of which is coloured and folding. The plate of 'Dr. Clarke's newly-invented Surgical Instruments' has been rebound facing page 9. Volume XV is also collated complete with four pages of plates one of which is coloured. This work has been rebound by Colin Yorke of Weston-Super-Mare in 2016 in an attractive half polished calf binding with marbled paper boards. Volume XV features a tipped-in slip to the front free-endpaper by Yorke recalling his purchase of this work 'in a market stall in Almeida Portugal in 1999' and the original discovery of the volumes at a house clearance in the nearby village of So Pedro de Rio Seco on the Portuguese-Spanish Border. This slip goes on to detail Yorke's belief that the works were originally used at a British Military Hospital in the village during the Peninsular War and his theory that the work was accidentally left behind by a British medical officer when the hospital was abandoned in November 1812. This incredibly interesting theory is also reproduced on a loosely inserted booklet by York with accompanying photo-copied material that support his findings. Rebound in a half polished calf binding with marbled paper boards. Externally lovely with only very minor handling marks to spines. Tipped-in slip to front free-endpaper volume XV. Internally firmly bound. Pages age toned with the odd spot and handling mark to the occasional page. Small closed tear to fore edge of folding plate facing page 489 volume IX.

This copy with a presentation from Parsons: "Mrs. Thomas H. Baxter with the compliments of the author." Laid in is a two-page autograph letter signed from Parsons to Mrs. Baxter dated Feb. 7 1903 with the original mailing envelope which reads: "I have just obtained from the publishers a copy of my little book on China and take great pleasure in sending it to you . 'All the world's a stage' but the stage for the next world drama is I think the Orient and therefore it is interesting to study the players. At any rate this little book is a record of the most interesting experience that I ever expect to have." "Parsons . accepted the direction of a survey of some 1000 miles of railway in China primarily on the line from Hankow to Canton. The party passed through the then 'closed province' of Hu-nan and the success of the entire venture depended not alone on engineering skill but primarily upon the ability of the leader of the expedition to meet the extremely difficult diplomatic problems involved. Nevertheless the mission was accomplished and the small group of American engineers to the surprise of many of their friends returned in safety" DAB. That very same railroad line is still in use today. Parsons 1859-1932 founded Parsons Brinckerhoff Inc. one of the largest American civil engineering firms. He designed New York rapid transit subways the Cape Cod Canal and sat on the Isthmian Canal Commission. <br/><br/> McClure, Phillips & Co hardcover books

Very Good. <br/><br/> Bradley a Rutgers graduate was a highly respected New Jersey lawyer specializing in railroad and patent litigation. President Grant nominated him to the United States Supreme Court in early 1870 and he took his seat in March. He served until 1891. His Letter transcribed in full words in capital letters are underlined in the original suggests that Munsell certainly earned his fee for publishing the book discussed here. The book was 'The Centennial Celebration of Rutgers College June 21 1870: With an Historical Discourse. Delivered by Hon. Joseph Bradley.' It was printed in Albany by Munsell in 1870. Bradley had a scholar's attention to detail and wanted Munsell's work to reflect precisely Bradley's thinking. <br/> "You did not quite understand one correction made by me on the title page. That thing which I originally called an APPENDIX we propose to call a NOTE and say nothing about it in the title page - occupying the same place as it now does - at the end; - but under the name of a note instead of that of an appendix. Hence. Then we propose to call the account of the Centennial Exercises - AN APPENDIX. Now you will see the meaning of my correction on the title page. Calling the account of the Centennial Exercise by the name of an appendix my name as author of the Address could properly come AFTER the word 'Appendix' as you suggest. It would be better if it could. Perhaps even now my name had better come after the word "1870" immediately before the words " with an Appendix."
