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

1852rif. 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.

1824rif. 376657Printed by R. Graisberry. Published by Hodges & McArthur 21 College Green Dublin 1824. First Edition. Half Leather. Good Condition. First edition of what appears to have been Dionysius Lardner's first published book and an unusually interesting contemporary student's working copy. Published in Dublin in 1824 Lardner's lectures arose after he discovered that an unauthorised abridgement of Locke was being sold to students under his name. Rather than encourage learning by rote Lardner wanted students to examine Locke critically and "judge and reason" for themselves. This copy appears to have been specially bound for precisely that purpose with substantial gatherings of writing paper inserted amongst and after the printed text. An anonymous early reader filled many of these leaves with extensive philosophical notes and abstracts while also answering Lardner's printed questions. Particularly revealing are manuscript study schedules allocating hours to a Tutor Locke Bacon Butler Cicero Logic and other subjects strongly suggesting contemporary academic use apparently in the Trinity College Dublin environment. A fascinating survival in which the physical copy records the use for which Lardner intended his book: not simply the reading of Locke but active study questioning and preparation for examination. With the Dublin bookseller's ticket of E. Madden 7 Grafton Street. =================================================================== Binding : Contemporary or near-contemporary half calf over marbled boards with calf corners; spine with raised bands gilt rules and blind-stamped decoration contrasting red morocco lettering-piece lettered in gilt "LARDNER'S LOCKE". Binding rubbed and worn at extremities with some wear and loss at spine ends but remaining sound and attractive. The construction of the volume incorporating substantial gatherings of writing paper appears deliberately designed to facilitate its use as a working study copy. Collation and condition : Title-page; Preface pp. i-iii; preliminary Lecture List beginning part-way through Lecture III and continuing to Lecture VII pp. iii-viii with manuscript annotations; main printed text pp. 1-164; concluding Lecture List Lectures XX-XXVII pp. xvii-xx. Printed pp. 81-82 are absent. Pages 83-86 are damaged at the inner margin and laid down onto old paper guards. Pages 127-128 are torn with loss at the upper outer corner. Specially bound with substantial gatherings of blank writing paper: following p.112 are 4 pages of manuscript notes and 8 blank pages; following p.128 14 manuscript pages and 6 blanks; following the printed text 16 manuscript pages approximately 127 blank pages and 3 manuscript pages containing the study timetable. Numerous further contemporary manuscript annotations and answers occur throughout the printed text. Despite the textual defects noted above the copy's extensive contemporary manuscript material is an integral and particularly interesting feature of the volume. =================================================================== LARDNER Rev. Dionysius. A Series of Lectures upon Locke's Essay Concerning Human Understanding. Dublin: Printed by R. Graisberry. Published by Hodges and McArthur 21 College-Green 1824. First edition. An important early work by the Irish scientist writer and educationalist Dionysius Lardner 1793-1859 apparently his first published book. Lardner was then associated with Trinity College Dublin and was subsequently to become one of the nineteenth century's best-known popularisers of science and general knowledge most notably as editor of the extensive Cabinet Cyclopaedia. Lardner's preface gives an unusually revealing account of the book's origins. He explains that Dublin publishers had repeatedly approached him to prepare a condensed version of John Locke's Essay Concerning Human Understanding proposals which he had declined despite offers of payment. He was finally prompted to write after discovering that a spurious contraction of Locke in catechetical form was circulating under his name being sold by booksellers and purchased by students as Lardner's own work. Finding himself as he puts it burdened with the errors of others he undertook the present lectures partly "in self defence." Lardner nevertheless refused to produce the straightforward abridgement originally requested. His intention was to explain and illustrate Locke compare his opinions on disputed questions with those of other modern philosophers point out instances where he believed Locke contradicted himself and incorporate those portions of the Essay necessary to understanding the argument. Of particular interest is Lardner's criticism of students who simply "get by heart" Locke's doctrines. He regarded philosophical investigation as an exercise of the understanding and deliberately attempted to present disputable questions from more than one side enabling the reader to "judge and reason for himself." At his publishers' request he also supplied questions upon the lectures graded according to importance and intended for students of differing levels of attainment. A contemporary working study copy : This particular copy is considerably more interesting than an ordinary example because it appears to have been specially bound as a working academic copy with substantial gatherings of blank writing paper inserted at intervals through the printed work and a particularly large gathering at the end. These are not conventional alternating interleaves but blocks of writing paper evidently provided for extensive notes. The anonymous contemporary or early nineteenth-century reader made considerable use of them. Numerous answers have been written alongside Lardner's printed student questions while the additional leaves contain extended philosophical notes definitions arguments and abstracts relating to Locke. Among the manuscript material is an "Abstract of Book 4th of the Essay Concerning Human Understanding" together with discussions headed or concerned with such subjects as "Sensitive Knowledge" intuitive knowledge perception the existence and qualities of matter primary and secondary qualities and the relationship between matter and thought. The writer frequently numbers propositions and arguments summarises Locke and works through philosophical problems rather than merely copying passages from the printed book. Particularly significant are manuscript pages at the rear containing what appears to be a detailed examination study timetable. Hours are allocated to the Tutor and to the study of Locke Bacon Butler Cicero Logic and other prescribed subjects. A small pencilled syllogistic exercise on the rear pastedown provides another indication of formal study in logic. Taken together - the Dublin publication Lardner's connection with Trinity College Dublin his explicit references to students and examinations the answers to his printed questions extensive manuscript abstracts and the examination study timetable - the evidence strongly suggests that this was a contemporary student's working copy apparently associated with study at Trinity College Dublin. No ownership inscription has been discovered however and the student cannot presently be identified. There is an especially attractive relationship between the physical history of this copy and Lardner's stated educational purpose. He wanted his readers to progress beyond simply memorising Locke and instead to investigate compare arguments and reason independently. The anonymous student who owned this copy appears to have done precisely what Lardner intended leaving unusually extensive evidence of the practical use of the book as an academic text. The front pastedown also bears the small printed ticket of "E. Madden Bookseller 7 Grafton Strt." providing an additional Dublin bookselling association. Size: 12 x 20 cms.
