Some toning else near fine. The photograph is captioned "Head Quarters Fifth Army Corps August 1862 Harrison's Landing James River VA." There are numbers under the photograph likely referring to a corresponding list of the names of the individuals shown list not present. The U.S. National Archives holds a copy of this same photograph which is where we obtained the names of the individuals shown: Gen. Fitz John Porter Major Joseph Kirkland Colonel Locke Captain Mason Major Charles McMillen Captain John F. McQuade Major Montieth and Colonel Norton. Seated in a chair at center is Gen. Fitz John Porter who participated in the Battle of Gaines' Mill the Battle of Malvern Hill and the Second Battle of Bull Run among others. The Fifth Army Corps typically referred to as V Corps was part of the Union Army of the Potomac. This photo was taken shortly before they left Harrison's Landing which is where the men rested after the brutal Seven Days' Campaign. They left on August 14 1862 and their stay was less than pleasant. The website Emerging Civil War writes: "For the common soldiers of the Army of the Potomac leaving Harrison's Landing was a blessing. The historian of the 2nd New York Infantry described the ordeal as follows: 'The occupation of this point Harrison's Landing had been a terrible experience for the army and the Troy regiment suffered with the rest. The excessive heat bad water poor food constant exposure and lack of rest or recreation added to the disgusting experiences at Fair Oaks had rendered many of the men useless as soldiers having caused a large number of chronic disease. No less than 108 members of the regiment who but a short time before had been in perfect health were transported to hospitals the majority of them finally being discharged for disability.'" Looking at this photo you would never know the men were so miserable; three lounge in the grass one with his binoculars resting on his knee Gen. Porter sits comfortably in a chair the rest of the men are standing but appear at ease; flanking the soldiers are two African Americans the woman appears to be a servant or cook but the man may be wearing a military uniform. A very nicely executed photo of the Fifth Army Corps. at their encampment at Harrison's Landing James River VA in August of 1862. unknown

It contains Locke's correspondence with the Molyneux brothers among others. "This collection on letters in unusual for the reason that unlike the customary practice it contains both sides of the correspondence. It should also be observed that the manuscript letters of Thomas and William Milyneux to Locke here published are in this collection. The printer used the originals for copy and they still bear his marks." Pforzheimer 611 "William Molyneux 1656-1698 was an Irish experimental philosopher and politician who played a major role in the intellectual life in seventeenth-century Dublin. He became Locke's friend and correspondent in 1692 and was probably Locke's philosophicallymost significant correspondent. Locke approached Molyneux for advice for revising his Essay concerning Human Understandingas he was preparing the second and subsequent editions. Locke made several changes in response to Molyneux's suggestions; they include major revisions of the chapter 'Of Power' 2.21 the addition of the chapter 'Of Identity and Diversity' 2.27 and the addition of the so-called Molyneux Problem 2.9.8. Molyneux repeatedly requested that Locke develops his views on morality. Additionally their correspondence turned to questions concerning education and Molyneux's keen interest in the topic likely prompted Locke to publish Some Thoughts Concerning Educationin 1693. Moreover Molyneux drew on Locke's anonymously published Two Treatises of Governmentin his The Case of Ireland's Being Bound by Acts of Parliament in England Stated which was first published in the spring of 1698. Molyneux revealed Locke's authorship of Two Treatisesagainst Locke's will yet their friendship continued until Molyneux's untimely death in October 1698."

A Collection of Several Pieces. Never before printed or not Extant in his Works. Publish'd by the Author of Life of the evermemorable Mr. John Hales &c. - LOCKE'S MAIN WORK ON NATURAL PHILOSOPHY

1720réf. 41467London J. Bettenham 1720. 8vo. Nice contemporary English Cambridge-style full calf binding with five raised bands and gilt title-label to spine. Neat minor repair to extremities. A bit of overall wear but a nice and tight copy. Internally nice and clean with only some occasional soiling that is very light. Engraved title-vignette 36 - i.e. title-page dedication XXIV i.e. "The Character of Mr. Locke" by Peter Coste 2 - i.e. contents 362 18 - i.e. index 4 - i.e. errata advertisements pp. one plate "The Solar System". First edition of this important collection of hitherto unpublished works by Locke containing the first printing of his unique work on Natural philosophy "The Elements of Natural Philosophy" as well as first printings of other important works. Assisted by Anthony Collins in 1720 the journalist Pierre Desmaizeaux brought out a new collection of Works and pieces by John Locke that had not previously been published. This collection "A Collection of Several Pieces" came to play a great role in the Locke scholarship not least in recent times and not least because it contains the first printing of his "Elements of Natural Philosophy"The "Elements of Natural Philosophy" constitutes Locke's main work in natural philosophy and it is a work that pas puzzled Locke scholars and readers ever since its appearance. The work seems to need some further explanation; at a firsthand glance it doesn't look very much like Locke - the greatest of the English philosophers who has so frequently been accused of not understanding the exact sciences and who even encouraged the youth not to learn these but to educate themselves in superficial and useful party-conversation. Thus numerous attempts have been made to establish the influence that resulted in this educational work of natural science. The two dominating answers to the question of influence are now: Newton and Descartes. It now seems to be fairly commonly recognized that Newton a personal friend of Locke even contributed directly to the work. "When Locke himself at the end of his life came to compose a treatise on natural philosophy for a pupil we have reason to believe that he obtained the advice and help of the most brilliant scientist of the century his close friend Isaac Newton. As we shall see this unique educational work itself "The Elements of Natural Philosophy" belies the myth of Locke the scientific smatterer." Axtell Locke Newton and the Elements of Natural Philosophy p. 244. However Descartes influence also seems to be obvious; "The influence of the "Principles" by Descartes is also obvious in Locke's posthumously published "Elements of Natural Philosophy". There is a striking similarity in the order of exposition although there are also considerable differences: Locke carefully eschewed Descartes' "a priori" metahpysics of nature. We find him rather emphasizing the essential role of experience. For example Locke introduced Newtonian universal gravitation as follows:. Thus according to Locke empirical support was necessary to establish the law of nature. Although the exposition looks quite similar to Descartes' "Principles" the "Elements" in fact contain several anti-Cartesian remarks in favour of the experimental philosophy." Aoki Descartes and Locke on the Nature of Matter. In: Hutton and Schuurmann edt. Studies on Locke p. 77."Elements of Natural Philosophy" was printed in no less than nine times during the 1th century and appeared in both Russian and French during the 18th century as well.The present "Collection of several Pieces" furthermore included a collection of letters from Locke to Anthony Collins "Remarks upon some of Mr. Norris's Books." "Some Thoughts concerning Reading and Study for a Gentleman." and "Rules of a society." all printed here for the first time as well as an English translation of Coste's Eulogy "The Character of Mr. Locke" originally published in French in 1705 and reprints of "The fundamental Constitutions of Carolina" and "A Letter from a person of Quality."."Remarks upon some of Mr. Norris's books." is the third of Locke's replies to Norris. "Some thoughts concerning reading and study for a gentleman" constitutes Locke's reply to Samuel Bold's question on behalf of a parishioner on how to create a course of reading and study. "Rules of a Society" constitutes the rules that Locke set up for a small group of friends who met once a week to discuss "useful Knowledge" and to promote "Truth and Christian Charity". Throughout his life Locke created several of these "societies" one of which led to his "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding" another one being "The College" in London after the Revolution. hardcover
