1694réf. 149739London: Printed for Awnsham and John Churchil at the Black-Swan in Pater-Noster Row and Samuel Manship at the Ship in Cornhill near the Royal-Exchange 1694. Rare second edition of this fundamental work in the history of Western thought the first to name Locke as the author and to include the frontispiece portrait of him. Folio bound full paneled calf morocco spine label lettered in gilt elaborated diced stamping to the spine in five compartments within raised bands engraved frontispiece portrait of Locke by P. Vanderbanck after Sylvester Brounower. In very good condition. From the library of the Isle of Wight Institution with stamps to the title page page 175 and verso of final leaf; ownership signature of British missionary Daniel Tyerman 1773-1828 of Newport Isle of Wight dated 1804 to the title page. The second edition of Locke's essay contains a number of important changes and additions to the text. It was the first to name Locke as the author and include the frontispiece portrait of him indicative of the celebrity Locke acquired with the publication of the first edition in 1690. "When Thomas Basset was running out of copies of the first edition in February 1693 he signed a contract with Locke to pay him ten shillings per sheet for additional materials for a new printing. These additions included an expansion of Book I Chap. IV; the chapter on power was almost entirely new; a new chapter 'Of Identity and Diversity' was inserted as 2.27 making chapters 27-31 to be renumbered as 2.28-32; and a discussion was added to 2.9.8. Other numerous additions were made throughout sectional summaries added in the margins and an analytical index supplied" Yolton. "It is Locke's second edition of the 'Essay on Human Understanding' that is the masterpiece we remember; the first 1690 edition did not bear Locke's name nor did it include a number of emendations that finished the work as Locke wanted it" Matthews Collecting Rare Books 97. "Locke was the first to take up the challenge of Bacon and to attempt to estimate critically the certainty and the adequacy of human knowledge when confronted with God and the universe" PMM 164. It is in this work that Locke 1632-1704 lays the foundations of British empiricism and the concept of the mind as a tabula rasa. "Locke summed up the Enlightenment in his belief in the middle class and its right to freedom of conscience and right to property in his faith in science and in his confidence in the goodness of humanity. His influence upon philosophy and political theory has been incalculable" Columbia Encyclopedia.

1700réf. B5207London: Awnsham and John Churchil c. 1700. A fine example of this desirable work. Edition: 4th edition with large additions. Binding: Contemporary brown speckled calf boards with blind tooled decorative borders on top and bottom cover rebacked skillfully. Spine in six compartments with gilt text on 2 and 6. Tooled decorations on 1 3 4 5 and 6. Notes: The essay is divided into 4 books within the one volume. John Locke FRS 1632 –v1704 was an English philosopher and physician regarded as one of the most influential of Enlightenment thinkers and known as the "Father of Classical Liberalism". Considered one of the first of the British empiricists following the tradition of Sir Francis Bacon he is equally important to social contract theory. His work greatly affected the development of epistemology and political philosophy. His writings influenced Voltaire and Rousseau many Scottish Enlightenment thinkers as well as the American revolutionaries. His contributions to classical republicanism and liberal theory are reflected in the United States Declaration of Independence. Locke was the first to take up the challenge of Bacon and to attempt to estimate critically the certainty and the adequacy of human knowledge when confronted with God and the universe. In the past similar enquiries had been vitiated by the human propensity to extend them beyond the range of human understanding and to invent causes for what it cannot explain. Therefore Locke’s first task was to ascertain ‘the original certainty and extent of human knowledge’ and excluding ‘the physical consideration of the mind to show how far it can comprehend the universe’. His conclusion is that though knowledge must necessarily fall short of complete comprehension it can at least be ‘sufficient’; enough to convince us that we are not at the mercy of pure chance and can to some extent control our own destiny" Printing and the Mind of Man Size: Small Folio 317x205mm.

1751réf. 126250Florence: Andrea Bonducci 1751. Rare first edition in Italian of Some Considerations of the Consequences of the Lowering of Interest and Raising the Value of Money 1692 and Further Considerations concerning Raising the Value of Money 1695. It is the only early translation of Locke's papers on money based on the folio Works of 1740 and is furnished with extensive footnotes by the translators Giovanni Pagnini and Angelo Tavanti. It is issued here with a treatise by Pagnini appended at the end of the second volume. Locke's writings had a major influence on the then-ongoing Italian monetary debate. Economic unrest in Italy in the middle of the 18th century led to several publications on monetary theory. In the aftermath of the Succession Wars the possibility of devaluing currency to boost economic growth was considered a proposal which raised questions about Italy's move towards a commercial society and out of feudal systems. Most of the Italian writers opposed devaluation of the currency who cited Locke's similar arguments in the English recoinage crisis of the 1690s; the only major detractor was Galiani. Pagnini and Tavanti published the work in translation in the belief that Locke's ideas of sound money were relevant to the situation. "By publishing Locke's works on money in Italian Pagnini and Tavanti made available to an Italian audience a structured version of what had originally been a few long letters written to give advice on a specific issue that belonged to late seventeenth-century English politics. Yet in the following decades Locke's letters had risen to fame abroad where a myth had been formed of Locke as the defender of an honest commercial order of humankind. If Locke's letters contained a general message about commercial politics the work by Pagnini and Tavanti was supposed to bring it out" Stapelbroek p. 13. The appended treatise by Pagnini describes commercial society as one based on trust and peace; by devaluing the currency a government is undermining this society. 2 vols bound in 1 quarto 245 x 179 mm.

Composé en 1703 pour n’être publié qu’en 1765 dans ce recueil, l’ouvrage se présente comme une réfutation systématique de 'l'Essai sur l'entendement humain' de John Locke sous forme d’un dialogue imaginaire entre deux personnages: Philalète qui défend la position empiriste empruntée à Locke et Théophile qui soutient l'option rationaliste à l’aide des arguments forgés par Leibniz. Commentant son Essai, Leibniz déclara: "j’ai fort médité moi-même sur ce qui regarde les fondements de nos connaissances (…). De toutes les recherches il n’y a point de plus importante, puisque c’est la clef de toutes les autres". L’édition a été publiée sur les manuscrits originaux par l’érudit allemand Rudolf Erich Raspe et préfacée par Abraham Gotthelf Kaestner, mathématicien, professeur à l'université de Göttingen.

A very good copy of this handsomely printed book translating John Locke's Some Considerations of the Consequences of the Lowering of Interest and Raising the Value of Money (1692) and Further Considerations concerning Raising the Value of Money (1695), the only early translation of Locke's papers on money, based on the folio Works of 1740, and is furnished with extensive footnotes by the translators Giovanni Pagnini and Angelo Tavanti. At the end of the second volume is a 116 pages essay by Pagnini on the correct price and value of money entitled Essay on the just price of things, the correct value of money and on the trade of the Romans. Pagnini was destined to become one of the major economic historians in the eighteenth century with the publication of his History of the tithe in 1765-66.The year of publication of this translation, and the translation itself, represent an interesting moment in time: 1751 is also the year Galiani's famous and important Della Moneta was published. Galiani's roots were firmly planted in the southern culture which had been rekindled by the work of Locke and Newton. One of Galiani's first intellectual undertakings had been the translation of Locke's essay on financial problems, which he dropped when he heard that in Florence another version was being produced, edited by Pagnini and Tavanti (the present work) (Carpanetto and Ricuperati, Italy in the Age of Reason 1685-1789, p. 250). - Front paste-down with a few wormtracks, an old bookplate verso of the front blank, a very fine large paper copy, printed on heavy paper.
