LOCKE, John
An Essay concerning Humane Understanding.
London: by Eliz. Holt for Thomas Basset 1690. One of the principal sources of empiricism in modern philosophy First edition first issue with the Holt imprint. Locke worked for nearly two decades on his investigation of "the certainty and the adequacy of human knowledge" PMM and the resulting landmark work influenced many Enlightenment philosophers. Locke argued that all our knowledge comes from experience and through our senses rather than innate ideas. The mind is at birth a clean sheet a tabula rasa; since only material things can affect our sense we can know nothing but matter and must accept a materialistic philosophy. Locke concluded that "though knowledge must necessarily fall short of complete comprehension it can at least be 'sufficient'; enough to convince us that we are not at the mercy of pure chance and can to some extent control our own destiny" ODNB. Locke's Essay quickly ran to several editions and was popularized on the continent through French translations. "Few books in the literature of philosophy have so widely represented the spirit of the age and country in which they appeared or have so influenced opinion afterwards. The art of education political thought theology and philosophy especially in Britain France and America long bore the stamp of the Essay or of reaction against it" Grolier. Voltaire and Diderot accepted Locke with little question Hume and Kant continued the investigation and Bishop Berkeley rejected it with his own immaterialism. The edition was reissued with a cancel title bearing an Edward Mory imprint. Provenance: inscription to front free endpaper "Robert Kirktowne London: 1698" a Robert Kirktowne is recorded as a naval surgeon in the period 18th-century inscription to the front pastedown "Ex libris Gulielmi Byrd MTS". This is possibly William Byrd II 1674-1744 a large landowner in Virginia who studied at Middle Temple in London explaining the MTS Middle Temple School initials. Folio 318 x 192 mm pp. xii 362 22. Contemporary speckled calf red morocco label covers bordered in blind edges speckled red. Housed in a dark blue quarter morocco solander box by the Chelsea Bindery. Ninteenth-century shelf label at head of spine. Skilful restoration at extremities leaf D2 with defective inner margin resulting in a number of missing words supplied in manuscript in early hand. A few splashes and scratches to covers else well-preserved contents a little toned else clean: a very good copy.

Locke, John/ Milton, J R; Milton, Philip
An Essay Concerning Toleration: And Other Writings on Law And Politics 1667-1683
Oxford: Clarendon Press 2006. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright dust jacket with light edgewear 458 pages. J. R. and Philip Milton present the first critical edition of John Locke's Essay concerning Toleration based on all extant manuscripts and a number of other writings on law and politics composed between 1667 and 1683. Although Locke never published any of these works himself they are of very great interest for students of his intellectual development because they are markedly different from the early works he wrote while at Oxford and show him working out ideas that were to appear in his mature political writings the Two Treatises of Government and the Epistola de Tolerantia. With authoritative contextual guidance from the editors this will be an invaluable resource for all historians of early modern philosophy of legal political and religious thought and of 17th-century Britain. Name date on front fly leaf otherwise clean. Record # 387946 Clarendon Press hardcover

Locke, John
An Essay Concerning Humane Understanding: In Four Books.
London: Printed for Awnsham and John Churchil at the Black-Swan in Pater-Noster Row and Samuel Manship at the Ship in Cornhill near the Royal-Exchange 1694. Rare second edition of this fundamental work in the history of Western thought the first to name Locke as the author and to include the frontispiece portrait of him. Folio bound full paneled calf morocco spine label lettered in gilt elaborated diced stamping to the spine in five compartments within raised bands engraved frontispiece portrait of Locke by P. Vanderbanck after Sylvester Brounower. In very good condition. From the library of the Isle of Wight Institution with stamps to the title page page 175 and verso of final leaf; ownership signature of British missionary Daniel Tyerman 1773-1828 of Newport Isle of Wight dated 1804 to the title page. The second edition of Locke's essay contains a number of important changes and additions to the text. It was the first to name Locke as the author and include the frontispiece portrait of him indicative of the celebrity Locke acquired with the publication of the first edition in 1690. "When Thomas Basset was running out of copies of the first edition in February 1693 he signed a contract with Locke to pay him ten shillings per sheet for additional materials for a new printing. These additions included an expansion of Book I Chap. IV; the chapter on power was almost entirely new; a new chapter 'Of Identity and Diversity' was inserted as 2.27 making chapters 27-31 to be renumbered as 2.28-32; and a discussion was added to 2.9.8. Other numerous additions were made throughout sectional summaries added in the margins and an analytical index supplied" Yolton. "It is Locke's second edition of the 'Essay on Human Understanding' that is the masterpiece we remember; the first 1690 edition did not bear Locke's name nor did it include a number of emendations that finished the work as Locke wanted it" Matthews Collecting Rare Books 97. "Locke was 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" PMM 164. It is in this work that Locke 1632-1704 lays the foundations of British empiricism and the concept of the mind as a tabula rasa. "Locke summed up the Enlightenment in his belief in the middle class and its right to freedom of conscience and right to property in his faith in science and in his confidence in the goodness of humanity. His influence upon philosophy and political theory has been incalculable" Columbia Encyclopedia. Printed for Awnsham and John Churchil, at the Black-Swan in Pater-Noster Row, and Samuel Manship, at the Ship in Cornhill, near hardcover
