Dawn: A Biographical Novel of Edith Cavell

1928réf. 94878New York: J.H. Sears 1928. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First American edition. Fine in just about fine dustwrapper with some tiny nicks and tears and with a George Bernard Shaw blurb. Biographical novel about Cavell a World War I British nurse executed by the Germans for helping POWs escape novelized by Berkeley from his play and his screen-story for the 1928 silent film of the same name. Little remembered now the film was understandably controversial in its time and was suppressed in some markets and consequently a blockbuster in others. Cavell is memorialized today with a statue just off of Trafalgar Square. J.H. Sears hardcover books

Electronic machinery for handling information and its uses in insurance. Offprint

1947réf. 432481947. 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. 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. 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. In his later years he became known as the conscience of the computer industry through his often-expressed belief that computers should be used not for military or destructive purposes but only for the benefit of society. . unknown books

Alciphron or the Minute Philosopher. in Seven Dialogues. Containing an Apology for the Christian Religion Against Those Who Are Called Free-Thinkers

1803réf. 2353260New-Haven Connecticut: For Increase Cooke & Co 1803. First American Edition. Full-Leather. Fair/No Jacket. First American edition from the fourth London edition. Lacks front board spine and rear board rubbed and drying two light spots on fore edge ink name and date on front endpaper brief pencil notes on rear endpaper. 1803 Full-Leather. xiii 2 16-388 2 pp. Complete in one volume. Alciphron is a Christian apologetic in answer to the 'minute philosophers' of Berkeley's day who sought to minimize the the dignity of man. Berkeley is known as an advocate of subjective idealism which he called immaterialism which states that objects do not exist unless they are perceived. "A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge 1710 is the classic exposition of his philosophy of immaterialism as an antidote to infidelity prefaced with an influential essay in the philosophy of language; part two was later lost in manuscript with other papers in Italy." - Oxford Dictionary of National Biography Perhaps his most well-known work is Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous in which two characters representing himself and John Locke discuss various philosophical questions. Berkeley was a fellow at Trinity College and in the 1720s turned his attention to the project of opening St. Paul's College in Bermuda though skepticism about the chances of success in this endeavor caused the funding to come into question. "To prevent a threatening decline in private support Berkeley sailed for Newport Rhode Island with a small advance party on 6 September 1728; this included Smibert who painted several well-known portraits of Berkeley and of his party before settling for life in Boston. The journey was hazardous and protracted. They made an unscheduled landfall on the Virginia coast about the turn of the year and were officially received at Williamsburg before reaching Rhode Island on 23 January 1729. By the spring Berkeley had bought a farm of 96 acres at Middletown 'with two fine groves and winding rivulet upon it' Works 8.194 whose produce would support the college. He employed slaves and was apparently indifferent to the institution of slavery provided that it was humane seeing the moral need rather as one of conversion and baptism. He built a new house Whitehall which is now maintained as a historic site although the adjoining farmland has given way to urban development. Berkeley often preached at Newport Rhode Island in the winter and in remoter outposts in the summer. The strongest and longest friendship he established among New England churchmen was with Samuel Johnson 1696 - 1772 of Stratford Connecticut a refugee from Calvinism who later became first president of King's College New York later Columbia University and lent support to Berkeley's philosophy through his Elementa philosophica 1752 and other writings. Throughout his career Berkeley had little time for dissenters although he abhorred the use of violence against them. The religious tolerance characteristic of Rhode Island induced a degree of ecumenicism in his social practice that was not always maintained in the pulpit. Reports of growing infidelity in English society to which he was always liable to give credence were fuelled by the continuing bad faith of the government in failing to lodge the funds he considered legally his. This was a factor in his writing Alciphron a set of dialogues located notionally in England but drawing much of the landscape description from Rhode Island which was to sell well and stimulate controversy after his return. In this theist and immaterialist combine their defences against a medley of intellectual trends derived primarily but not exclusively from Locke Bernard Mandeville and the third earl of Shaftesbury that Berkeley regarded as obstructive to religion. The work includes Berkeley's second foray into moral philosophy." - Oxford Dictionary of National Biography For Increase Cooke & Co hardcover books

The Principles of Human Knowledge; Being Berkeley's Celebrated Treatise on the Nature of The Material Substance And Its Relation to the Absolute With A Brief Introduction to the Doctrine and Full Explanations of the Text; Followed by An Appendix With Remarks on Kant and Hume. By Collyns Simon LL.D.

1878réf. 000011096London: William Tegg & Co 1878. First Simon edition. Hardcover. Good. Small 8vo. 5 vi-lii 5 6-220 pp. Bound in green cloth with both boards bordered in blind lettering and rule stamped in gold on the front board. Yellow/green endpapers and pastedowns. Algaier Reconstructing the Library of William James; Gay Wilson Allen William James; Mead 18. This is the first edition edited and with introduction and appendix by Simon. The free front endpaper has two ownership stamps of philosopher and psychologist William James the first is crossed out being the older 18 Garden Street address where James resided until moving to his new house in 1889 the second is the 95 Irving Street address in Cambridge where he lived from 1889 until his death in 1910. There is also a slip of paper tipped in to the front endpaper with "PHILOS. III." printed on it. This book is not in Algaier who lists all of James' books and pamphlets that were donated to Harvard University by James and others 2554 items nor is it listed in the catalogue of The Hocking Collection at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell. Therefore this book must be one of the many that were given away as gifts to colleagues or sold at the "yard sale" held in 1923. The photographs of James' library circa 1923 see Algaier p. 4-5 suggest that it consisted of at least 4000 volumes Algaier suggests it may be double that so a large portion of James' personal library is either lost or privately held. The book does contain underlining and light marginalia vertical bars to emphasize passages and reference numbers mostly in pencil but we are unable to ascertain if this is the work of James himself or a later owner. James is one of the most important American philosophers of the nineteenth century and books from his personal library are scarce in commerce. The book is in Good-only condition with rubbing and wear to the boards and the binding although holding is in jeopardy. William Tegg & Co hardcover books
