1742AMO-3555Par M. Locke, traduit de l'anglais par M. Coste. Quatrième édition, revue, corrigée et augmentée de quelques additions importantes de l'auteur qui n'ont paru qu'après sa mort, et de plusieurs remarques du traducteur, dont quelques unes paraissent pour la première fois dans cette édition. A Amsterdam, chez Pierre Mortier, 1742 (i.e. 19 août 1741 - achevé d'imprimer) 1 volume in-4 (26,5 x 21 cm) de XLII-603-(17) pages. Portrait de l'auteur gravé à l'eau-forte en frontispice (dessiné par G. Kneller, 1697, gravé par E. Morellon de la Cave, 1734). Reliure hollandaise strictement de l'époque plein vélin, dos lisse à coutures apparentes, titre à l'encre au dos (époque). Vélin légèrement sali. Intérieur frais. Quelques rousseurs. Ensemble très bien conservé, relié à belles marges. Quatrième édition française. La première édition française a paru en 1700 à Amsterdam chez Henri Schelte (in-4), traduite par Pierre Coste. Pierre Coste a traduit la plupart des ouvrages de John Locke (1632-1704) mais également l'Optique de Newton (1722). On lui doit des écritions critiques des Essais de Montaigne ou encore La Bruyère. Coste était devenu membre de la Royal Society le 25 novembre 1742. L'Essai philosophique concernant l'entendement humain (An Essay Concerning Human Understanding) a paru à Londres pour la première fois en 1689 (bien que l'édition fut datée 1690). L'un des ouvrages majeurs fondateurs de l'empirisme qui fut l'un des courants majeurs de la théorie de la connaissance, dans lequel John Locke développe ses idées selon lesquelles l'expérience est à l'origine de nos idées. L'ouvrage se divise en 4 livre : Livre I : Des Notions Innées. Locke montre que dire qu’une idée est innée signifie que l’âme aperçoit naturellement cette idée : c’est là le sens de cette doctrine. Donc il ne peut pas y avoir d’idée innée inaperçue. En fait, la seule chose que Locke concède à l’innéisme, c’est le fait que la faculté de comprendre soit innée. Livre II : Des Idées. Locke distingue dans l'Essai sur l'entendement humain deux sortes d’idées : les idées simples et les idées composées. "rien n’est plus évident à un homme que la perception claire et distincte qu’il a de ces idées simples." Livre III : Des Mots. C’est le nom qui fonde et scelle dans les idées mixtes cette union de plusieurs idées qui n’a aucun fondement dans la nature. Les genres et les espèces n’ont donc pas une existence réelle dans les choses mêmes ou dans la nature mais sont un artifice de l’esprit pour exprimer plus aisément telle ou telle collection d’idées simples par un seul terme général. Livre IV : De La Connaissance. Locke cherche à identifier les limites de notre connaissance. Notre ignorance vient de notre manque d’idées, du manque de liens visibles entre nos idées, ou du manque d’examen de notre part de celles-ci. Bel exemplaire, très pur, de cet ouvrage fondamental pour l'histoire des "Lumières" naissantes.

1965008278London: Her Majestys Stationery Office & The Earl Marshal of England 1965. This is a small archive of five documents from the 30 January 1965 state funeral of Sir Winston S. Churchill. It is unusual to find a coherent set of such items identifiably belonging to a specific individual in this case Charles Paul Greenway 3rd Baron Greenway 1917-1975. The current 4th Lord Greenway is one of ninety elected hereditary peers remaining in the House of Lords after passage of the House of Lords Act 1999. <br /> <br />The documents included are: an embossed printed stamped an original ticket to the funeral issued by the Earl Marshal of England; printed GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS from the Earl Marshal for invited guests; a franked and stamped ON HER MAJESTYS SERVICE stationery envelope; two booklets available at the funeral - The Order of Service and The Ceremonial To Be Observed for the Funeral of The Right Honourable Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill K.G. O.M. C.H. 30th January 1965. The issuer of these documents the Earl Marshal of England is the hereditary office of the Duke of Norfolk whose duties include organizing major ceremonial state occasions such as coronations and state funerals. <br /> <br />The ticket is embossed with the sigil of the EARL MARSHAL OF ENGLAND. In calligraphy it specifies Block A and Row 17 and admittance for The Lord Greenway. The GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS document specifies the items provided Letter of Invitation Acceptance/Refusal Form Seating Ticket and Car Label and provides information on dress transport entry time and entry location for the Cathedral. The first two items specified as included with the GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS the Letter of Invitation and Acceptance/Refusal Form are crossed out with a single line in black ink. The ON HER MAJESTYS SERVICE" envelope which conveyed the formal invitation documents features the typed London address of The Lord Greenway. To the right is the ink-stamped frank from THE HOUSE OF LORDS S.W.1 OFFICIAL PAID. At the lower left is an elaborate crowned ink stamp of the HOUSE OF LORDS. The envelope was roughly opened upon receipt but is nonetheless complete. The invitation is fine apart from Greenway inked in blue-green on the verso. The General Instructions are creased once vertically and thrice horizontally ostensibly from original posting. <br /> <br />The final two documents were available at the funeral itself a pair of booklets that detail the elaborate funeral proceedings for Winston Churchill. These are The Ceremonial to be Observed at the Funeral of The Right Honourable Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill and The Order of Service for the Funeral of The Right Honourable Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill. Both of these documents are in very good condition apart from the same inked notation on each upper left front cover verso. The blue-green ink and hand ostensibly that of the Baron reads Present Greenway 3rd Baron & Baroness of Stanbridge Earls in the County of Southampton. <br /> <br />On Sunday 24 January 1965 Winston Churchill died at the age of 90. He had already become a living national memorial" of the time he had lived and the Nation Empire and free world he had served. His death completed his transformation into a national icon. <br /> <br />The next day on 25 January the Queen sent a message to Parliament announcing: "Confident in the support of Parliament for the due acknowledgement of our debt of gratitude and in thanksgiving for the life and example of a national hero" and concluded "I have directed that Sir Winston's body shall lie in State in Westminster Hall and that thereafter the funeral service shall be held in the Cathedral Church of St. Paul. <br /> <br />Churchill's full state funeral at the Cathedral of St. Paul in London was attended by the Queen other members of the royal family Prime Minister Harold Wilson and representatives of 112 countries. Churchill was interred in St. Martins churchyard Bladon Oxfordshire. It was the first time in a century that a British monarch attended a commoners funeral. <br/><br/> Her Majestys Stationery Office & The Earl Marshal of England unknown

Good.</p><p>Exceedingly RARE. First only edition.</p><p>On December 11 1854 The Times of London editorialized: "We felt it our duty a few days ago to call attention to the fact that if disease or wounds were to incapacitate Lord Raglan for continuing his labours in the Crimea the command of our army would devolve upon Sir Richard England and we suggested that such a change ought by all means to be provided against." The Times goes on to forcefully attack England for his actions as commander of the Scinde field force during the Afghan wars in 1842. "In the beginning of the year 1842 Sir Richard England commanded the Scinde field force. It was extremely important to reinforce General Nott at Candahar where he was in want of men money and ammunition. Near the village of Hykulzye at the foot of the Bolan Pass General England was encountered by some Asiatic troops and repulsed with the loss of nearly 100 killed and wounded. It was of the utmost importance that he should advance or at any rate not retreat for General Nott had written to him that either halting or retiring would have the worst effect throughout Afghanistan and would be more injurious to his present position than 20000 of the enemy in the field. But General England did retreat. His troops were eager to renew the attack; Colonel Stacy the political agent who accompanied him undertook to storm the position with a hundred or even eighty men - thrice he begged for permission and thrice he was refused. General England retired to Quettah and there began to intrench himself leaving Nott the honour of England and the destinies of India to their fate. The defences before which he retreated were not formidable. They were thrown up in a few hours and when afterwards taken some of our officers rode over them without knowing where they were. General England wrote that the enemy were a hundred to one stronger than any one expected though they were fewer than he was informed that they would be. Finally he strove to throw the blame on the Sepoys whom he would not allow to renew the attack. 'The seeming unwillingness of England' says Mr. Kaye 'to redeem his character by a vigorous movement in advance irritated General Nott more than the disaster itself.'"</p><p>In this letter to his brother-in-law A.F.W. Montagu England describes his actions at that time in great detail and proffers a defense of them. Following his letter of December 28 1854 from Sebastopol are published letters written in 1842 defending him from Major-General Charles Napier the Governor General of India Lord Ellenborough and a letter from his Secretary T.H. Maddock. Finally there is an 1855 letter praising England from General Sir George De Lacy Evans.</p><p>The British army officer General Sir Richard England 1793-1883 was born at Fort Detroit at a time when it was part of Upper Canada. In 1841 he took command of the Bombay Army division and was dispatched to the relief of Colonel Palmer at Ghuznee and General Nott at Kandahar. In 1854 he was placed in command of the 3rd Division in the Crimean war.</p> London, 1855. paperback
