1878rif. 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

Three Dialogues is slightly tanned with scattered foxing to margins; Passive Obedience is heavily toned. Both books collated complete. From the library of William A. Strutz with his small bookplate to the front pastedown. George Berkeley 1685 - 1753 was an Anglo-Irish philosopher and clergyman who advocated the view that objects cannot exist without being perceived. He wrote Three Dialogues in order to expand on the ideas expressed in his most notable work A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge. Passive Obedience is a call to obey established authorities God above all. That a third edition was published just one year after the first is testament to the intensity of Enlightenment debates about the relationships between individuals and church and state.

"The principle which underlay all Berkeley's philosophical writing was based on a rejection of all speculation such as Locke's about the meaning and necessity of matter as a primal necessity to any theory of human understanding. Briefly Berkeley maintained that no existence is conceivable or possible which is not conscious spirit or the ideas of which such a spirit is conscious. This presupposes complete equation of subject and object: no object can exist without a Mind to conceive it. Without the pre-existence of the Mind mater and substance cause and effect can have no meaning. In the Principles externality absolutely independent of all mind is shown to be an unreal impossible conception: true substance is the conscious spirit and true causality the free action of such a spirit. Physical substance and causes are relations among phenomena arbitrary though by the action of the Mind constant. Connexions between them are viewed subjectively as the suggestion or associations of the human mind and objectively as the operation of the Universal Mind. Thus the universe is the sum of human experience and forms a symbol of the divine universal intelligence: esse est percipi" Printing and the Mind of Man. Norman Library 196. PMM 176.

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
