Old divinity school stamp on title minor foxing but a very good copy very neatly bound. First edition. The pseudonymously published prelude to Tucker's magnum opus THE LIGHT OF NATURE PURSUED. This "1763 fragment was strongly criticized in the MONTHLY REVIEW to which Tucker provided a humorous reply MAN IN QUEST OF HIMSELF under the new pseudonym Cuthbert Comment. In 1768 again using the pseudonym Edward Search he published the first four volumes of his book; the last three volumes were posthumously published under the editorship of his daughter Judith in 1778 . Although an occasionally eccentric and digressive text THE LIGHT OF NATURE PURSUED enjoyed a high reputation from its first appearance. In the introduction to his MORAL AND POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY 1785 William Paley emphasized his deep indebtedness to Tucker in expounding his ethical theory. Paley considered Tucker to be a very original thinker. His work was also highly praised by Sir James MacIntosh who had used his ideas in his lectures on ethics ." - DNB. Tucker's writings were also read and admired by among others Coleridge Godwin and Hazlett and the latter undertook an abridgement of the full work published in 1807.

15860Abraham Lincoln. "The Gettysburg Address" contained in "Report of the Select Committee Relative to the Soldiers' National Cemetery Together with the Accompanying Documents as reported to the House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania March 31 1864." Harrisburg: Singerly & Myers State Printers 1864. Lincoln's famous speech was originally delivered at the Dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg; this early volume following shortly after that dedication records the events of the day details of the cemetery and the soldiers interred there and the original text of the Gettysburg Address. <br/><br/>The Gettysburg Address is a speech that U.S. President Abraham Lincoln delivered during the American Civil War at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg Pennsylvania on the afternoon of Thursday November 19 1863 four and a half months after the Union armies defeated those of the Confederacy at the Battle of Gettysburg. It is one of the best-known speeches in American history. This is the first Pennsylvania printing of the Address. It occupies the second unnumbered page of this volume on the recent consecration of the Soldier's National Cemetary near the end. Included also in the Report is material on the creation of the cemetery with statistical data names of the soldiers buried there and the program at the dedicatory ceremonies including the benedictions and the oration of the featured speaker Edward Everett. Wills's study of the Address discusses its textual variations and the surprising difficulty in determining precisely what Lincoln said. As printed here it tracks what Wills has identified as the likely text spoken by Lincoln; but differs in several respects from the 'final version' for example the omission of 'poor' in 'our poor power to add or detract.' In fair condition. Foxed frequent margin spotting. Original cloth worn at spine and extremities of boards with cardboard below cloth revealed. One full-page map of the battlefield and hospitals; one folding map of the cemetery grounds. unknown books
