CARTER BURWELL BERKELEY. Here is a brief account of the life of Carter Burwell Berkeley a devout and highly admired member of the Fork Church congregation during the early nineteenth century: He was born at Airwell Virginia on February 20 1768 and performed his early studies under the tutelage of a Mr. Bell an Irish scholar in a small log cabin near Offley Mill. His higher education was completed in 1793 with the receipt of a degree in medicine from the University of Edinburgh. / Dr. Berkeley returned to Virginia and practiced medicine from his old home until his marriage to Catherine Spotswood Carter. In the year of their wedding 1796 they built Edgewood which was to remain his residence and office well beyond her death. Each Sunday neighbors were invited to dine at Edgewood after church services and this event became a grand social and intellectual tradition along Ridge Road. / It was Dr. Berkeley's philosophy to practice faith and medicine together. One patient described waking late one night during a serious illness to find Dr. Berkeley kneeling by her bed and praying for her recovery. According to Brief Biographies of Virginia Physician by L. B. Anderson 1889 a patient was quoted as saying "We prefer Dr. Berkeley to anyone else because what he failed to accomplish by his medical skill he would secure by his prayers." / On Sunday morning November 3 1839 Dr. Berkeley was involved with his duties as chief warden when he was asked by two other doctors to visit a sick man as early as possible. "He was introduced into the room of the patient and seating himself by the bed gently grasped the wrist to feel the pulse. Not a word was uttered not a movement was made except to incline his head as was his custom during profound thought." In time the other doctors found that life has passed from the good doctor. "Thus like the faithful sentinel he fell with his armor on and in the exercise of the noble functions of his high calling." theforkchurch – Dr Carter Burwell Berkeley.

Berkeley Edmund C
Giant Brains or Machines that Think.
New York: John Wiley & Sons 1949. First edition second printing of this important work which popularized cognitive images of early computers. Octavo original cloth. Association copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "To Erwin Tomash with warmest greetings for more than 20 years together in the computer field from Ed Berkeley October 11 1975." The recipient Erwin Tomash was an engineer who co-founded Dataproducts Corporation which specialized in computer technology specifically printers and core memory units. He is recognized for his early pioneering work with computer equipment peripherals. Tomash led the creation of the Charles Babbage Institute and is responsible for The Adelle and Erwin Tomash Fellowship in the History of Information Technology and The Erwin Tomash Library. With Erwin Tomash's bookplate to the pastedown near fine in a very good dust jacket. An exceptional association linking these two pioneers in the field. Edmund C. Berkeley became famous in 1949 with the publication of his book Giant Brains or Machines That Think in which he described the principles behind computing machines called then "mechanical brains" "sequence-controlled calculators" or various other terms and then gave a technical but accessible survey of the most prominent examples of the time including machines from MIT Harvard the Moore School Bell Laboratories and elsewhere. In Giant Brains Berkeley also outlined a device which some have described as the first "personal computer" Simon. Plans on how to build this computer were published in the journal Radio Electronics in 1950 and 1951. Simon used relay logic and cost about $600 to construct. The first working model was built at Columbia University with the help of two graduate students. Berkeley founded published and edited Computers and Automation the first computer magazine. He also created the Geniac and Brainiac toy computers. John Wiley & Sons hardcover books

BERKELEY Edmund C Dick H. Brandon and Patrick J. McGovern
Proceedings Seminar on the Computer Industry for Security Analysts November 19 1964
Newtonville MA: International Data Corporation 1965. Near fine in printed vinyl binder. First Edition. Quarto sheets in three-ring binder. Advertisement for Honda laid in. Proceedings of an early commercially oriented computer conference held on November 19th 1964 in Newtonville Massachusetts. The notebooks describe a wide range of computer equipment and applications. Speakers included computer science pioneer and antinuclear activist Edmund C. Berkeley known for having designed "Simon" the first "personal computer" in 1950. In January 1963 Berkeley was also the first person in print to describe an image as "computer art" upon publishing an image created by Israeli computer scientist Efraim Arazi in the magazine "Computers and Automation". Co-speaker Patrick J. McGovern had begun the EDP Industry & Market Report a year prior in 1964; that publication would eventually morph into both Computer World and PC World as well as spawning the "For Dummies" book series. McGovern achieved massive financial success; at time of death in 2014 his net worth was estimated by Forbes at in excess of five billion dollars. Overall a fascinating document from just before the dawn of the microprocessor revolution. Newtonville, MA: International Data Corporation unknown books

Electronic machinery for handling information and its uses in insurance. Offprint
1947. <p>Berkeley Edmund C. 1909-88. Electronic machinery for handling information and its uses in insurance. Offprint from Transactions of the Actuarial Society of America 48 1947. 36-52pp. 228 x 153 mm. Original printed wrappers a few tiny spots almost invisible staple-holes in front wrapper. Very good copy. Former owner's name-stamp Clifford J. Maloney on wrappers. </p> <p>First Edition Offprint Issue. The first published paper on the commercial application of electronic / electromechanical computing in private industry outside of the telephone company. Drawing on material that he would later publish in his famous Giant Brains or Machines that Think 1949 Berkeley described the four large-scale computing machines then in operation—MIT's Differential Analyzer; Harvard's Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator; the Moore School's ENIAC; and Bell Laboratories' Relay Calculator—and discussed the machines' information-processing capabilities and their potential uses in the insurance industry. "It is natural to call these machines mechanical or electronic brains and to speak of them as machinery that thinks. This new machinery is certain to have far-reaching effects in all fields where the handling of information is the bulk of the work. . . . Much of the material in this paper is taken from a forthcoming book on the subject by the present writer and is used by special permission of the publisher" p. 36. </p> <p>Berkeley a seminal figure in the history of modern computing was introduced to computing using punched-card machine methods while working as an actuary at Prudential Insurance. In 1942 he joined the Navy and was assigned to the Harvard Computation Laboratory where he worked with Howard Aiken on the Harvard Mark II. In 1946 Berkeley returned to Prudential where he helped create a prototype premium billing trial for the Harvard Mark I and participated in studies that led to Prudential's purchase of one of the first UNIVAC I computers. He also began working on Giant Brains and in 1947 founded the Association for Computing Machinery. In 1948 he left Prudential to found his own company and in 1951 he began editing and publishing Computers and Automation later renamed Computers and People the first periodical specifically devoted to computing. He also headed his own publishing firm consulted for industry and invented and sold several build-it-yourself electronic computers and small robots Simon Squee Tyniac Brainiac etc. as educational tools.

SIRIS: A CHAIN OF PHILOSOPHICAL REFLECTIONS AND INQUIRIES CONCERNING THE VIRTUES OF TAR WATER AND DIVERSE OTHER SUBJECTS CONNECTED TOGETHER AND ARISING ONE FROM ANOTHER . A NEW EDITION . Dublin Printed London Re- printed: For W. Innys and C. Hitch . 1744 bound with: Prior Thomas: AN AUTHENTIC NARRATIVE OF THE SUCCESS OF TAR-WATER IN CURING A GREAT NUMBER AND VARIETY OF DISTEMPERS; WITH REMARKS AND OCCASIONAL PAPERS RELATIVE TO THE SUBJECT. TO WHICH ARE SUBJOINED TWO LETTERS FROM THE AUTHOR OF SIRIS SHEWING THE MEDICINAL PROPERTIES OF TAR-WATER AND THE BEST MANNER OF MAKING IT
Dublin Printed London Re-printed: For W. Innys C. Hitch and M. Cooper . 1746. 1742; 45-88pp. Octavo. Modern half-calf and marbled boards. Faint blindstamp and ink shelf number the latter on verso of title of The Library of the Society for the Home Study of Holy Scripture and Church History first title leaf a trace foxed otherwise a very good copy. New i.e. Third London edition of the first title Keynes's variant A1b with "A Letter to T.P. ." on the verso of the title. This copy has p. 160 misnumbered '610'. The second title is also a "New Edition" i.e. the second London edition and exhibits Keynes's second corrected state of the title leaf: 'Holbourn'. Berkeley first noticed the use of tar-infused water during his residence in America and although cautious in his initial conclusions he soon became an advocate of its use as an economical aid for the betterment of the health of the Irish people. Although by no means wanting in exposition of Berkeley's larger philosophical considerations the practical aspects of SIRIS led to its being his most popular work and the investigation of tar-water generated a significant body of pamphlet literature in response well delineated by Keynes among which Prior's work is one of the most significant. ESTC cites Bowyer's ledger in reporting the edition of the first title consisted of 1000 copies and that of the second title 2000 copies. KEYNES BERKELEY 68 & 104. ESTC T45794 & T125698. For W.

BERKELEY GEORGE
The Analyst; Or A Discourse Addressed to An Infidel Mathematician. By the Author of The Minute Philosopher
London: Tonson 1734. first edition. contemporary calf. Very Good. VERY RARE FIRST EDITION OF ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL WORKS IN THE HISTORY OF CALCULUS. In 1731 Berkeley returned to England from the New World where he had spent years working to open a new college with the support of a royal charter. Despite having funds earmarked for the college no funds were ever released and he had grown tired of the whole affair - and of those who held the money he was meant to receive. Moreover "reports of growing infidelity in English society to which he was always liable to give credence were fueled by the continuing bad faith of the government in failing to lodge the funds he considered legally his." Stewart.<br /> <br /> Perhaps pushed by this diminishing opinion of the English gentry he revisited his earlier attacks on the secular 'freethinkers' and composed The Analyst "an acute and influential critique of the foundations of Newton's calculus." Downing. As Stewart explains "Berkeley considered the theory incoherent and a disservice to mathematics but one which if unchecked might reinforce prevailing views on the divisibility of matter and support infidelity."<br /> <br /> Within the criticism Berkeley raises careful arguments which often employ sophisticated philosophical distinctions. For example as Andersen explains "Berkeley acknowledged that mathematicians who applied Newton's method of fluxions or Leibniz's calculus ended up with valid results. However . he considered their calculations to be based on incorrect assumptions and to violate the rules of logic." As such he wished "to explain why this may come to pass and show how Error may bring forth Truth though it cannot bring forth Science." Berkeley.<br /> <br /> However between these arguments we find marvelously snide often comedic complaints about the whole approach. For example: "Now to conceive a Quantity infinitely small that is infinitely less than any sensible or imaginable Quantity or than any the least finite Magnitude is I confess above my Capacity. But to conceive a Part of such infinitely small Quantity that shall be still infinitely less than it and consequently though multiply'd infinitely shall never equal the minutest finite Quantity is I suspect an infinite Difficulty to any Man whatsoever". Berkeley.<br /> <br /> The concepts of the infinitesimal quantities of calculus haunted Berkeley and he returned to it repeatedly in his criticism most notably in his famous passage near the end of the book where he memorably referred to such infinitesimals as "ghosts of departed quantities". <br /> <br /> Note: This is the true first edition printed in London in 1734. A Dublin edition was also published in 1734 but appears to be a reprinting with some changes of the London first see Wilkins 2002. These were the only editions published in Berkeley's lifetime.<br /> <br /> References: Andersen K. 2011 "One of Berkeley's arguments on compensating errors in the calculus."
