Most important for the 1st English edition of "A Treatise on Man and the Development of His Faculties" Quetelet's foundational work of social statistics first published in French "Sur l'homme et le développement de ses facultés". This edition contains a new preface by the author to defend his work from objections brought against it subsequent to the publication of the Paris edition of 1835. Quetelet's goal was to understand the statistical laws underlying crime rates marriage rates or suicide rates correlating them with other social factors. "With Quetelet's work . . . a new era in statistics began. It presented a new technique of statistics or rather the first technique at all. The material was thoughtfully elaborated arranged according to certain preestablished principles and made comparable . . . Quetelet's average man became a slogan in ninetheenth-century discussions on social science . . . Quetelet's impact on nineteenth century thinking can in a certain sense be compared with Descartes's in the seventeenth century" DSB XI p.237. 8vo x 5-126 pp text in two columns 7 lithographed plates at the end.

Tenth edition 'with large additions'. First published in 1689 Locke's pinnacle essay on the foundation of human knowledge is widely considered to be one of the principal sources of empiricism in modern philosophy. Empiricism which argues that knowledge comes primarily from sensory experience and empirical evidence is based upon the 'tabula rasa' or 'blank slate' theory which postulates that human beings are born with no inherent ideas but that impressions from life later form the basis of all of our understanding. Locke's ideas were at complete odds to Cartesian philosophy which held that scientific knowledge could be derived a priori from 'innate ideas' through deductive reasoning. It also emphasised the freedom of individuals to dictate their own lives which in turn led to his doctrine of 'natural rights'; to life liberty and property. It was these very ideas which would later form the basis of the American Revolution with some claiming that Locke's language influenced the wording which Thomas Jefferson chose in his drafting the July 1776 Declaration of Independence. In many ways Locke's philosophy marked the beginning of the modern Western conceptions of the self and heavily influenced the subject matter of modern psychology. Enlightenment philosophers such as David Hume and George Berkeley drew strongly on his work and Voltaire later wrote that ""just as a skilled anatomist explains the workings of the human body so does Locke's Essay on the Human Understanding give the natural history of consciousness. So many philosophers having written the romance of the soul a sage has arrived who has modestly written its history."" An up-together example of this incredibly important philosophical work lovingly rebound. The perfect gift copy for the discerning philosophy student. hardcover

1852réf. 30702New York: Bunnell and Price 1852. First hardcover edition and first printing of this text. Foxing to end papers a few stains to text block corners and spine ends with slight rubs and bumps a nearly fine copy 30702. 12mo pp. 1-3 4-143 144: blank flyleaves at front and rear original decorated black cloth front and rear panels stamped in blind spine panel stamped in gold and blind. This work prepared by a close acquaintance of Locke provides a biographical sketch of Locke; anecdotes about the reception of Locke's report; appendices presenting an authentic description of the Moon; and the text of Locke's successful hoax perpetrated in the NEW YORK SUN in August 1835 which pretended to reveal a discovery that men and animals existed on the Moon. The revelations supposedly reprinted from the actually defunct EDINBURGH JOURNAL OF SCIENCE were so cleverly wrought that for a short time the report was given credence in scientific circles in the United States and Europe. The report was soon denounced as a hoax by the public press and Richard Adams Locke 1800-1871 a reporter for the SUN was identified as the perpetrator of the "ingenious astronomical hoax." Interest in the lunar discoveries increased the SUN'S circulation to more than nineteen thousand the largest of any daily of that time. According to William Gowans who reprinted the story in 1859 Locke's account created such public interest that the owners of the SUN published sixty thousand copies of it in pamphlet form. The pamphlet was published in September 1835 and every copy was sold in less than a month. Nevertheless the 1835 printings are rare and only a handful of copies survive.
