Two Treatises of Government: In the Former The False Principles and Foundation of Sir Robert Filmer and His Followers are Detected and Overthrown.

New. $16.95 Reprint of the third edition. Published after the Glorious Revolution of 1688 brought William of Orange and Mary to the throne but written in the throes of the Whig revolutionary plots against Charles II in the early 1680s John Locke offers a theory of natural law and natural rights which distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate civil governments and argues for the legitimacy of revolt against tyrannical governments. These radical ideas remain influential today. In these two treatises the political philosopher John Locke espouses radical theories which influenced the ideologies of the American and French revolutions and became the basis for the social and political philosophies of Rousseau Voltaire and the United States founding fathers. In the first treatise Locke aims to refute the doctrine of the patriarchal and absolute right of the Divine Right of Kings doctrine put forth by Sir Robert Filmer's Patriarcha. He examines key Biblical passages to prove that scripture does not support Filmer's premise. The second treatise offers Locke's positive theory of government in which he establishes a theory which reconciles the liberty of the citizen with political order. His basic premise is founded on the independence of the individual. He declares that men are born free and equal in their rights and that wealth is the product of labor. In his revolutionary theory of the social contract he proposes that a legitimate civil government must preserve the rights to life liberty health and property of its citizens and prosecute and punish those in violation of those rights. JOHN LOCKE 1632-1704 a leading philosopher of the Enlightenment is widely considered to be the father of liberalism. He was initially trained as a physician receiving a doctorate in medicine at Oxford. He was an important influence on Monte. unknown books
1792réf. 3890Uppsala: Veuve du directeur Jean Edman 1792. Rare French edition printed in Uppsala of the abridgement of the Essay on Human Understanding by John Wynne the format in which Locke's thought was most effectively popularized at English universities and in Europe. "In the last decade of the seventeenth century English culture held a frustrated fascination for the continental Republic of Letters. Frustrated because few Europeans could approach English ideas in the English language. Gabriel Bonno1 has shown how Locke's continental readers were dependent initially upon reviews in French-language journals – Basnage de Beauval's Histoire des ouvrages des savans Bernard's Nouvelles de la r�publique des lettres and particularly Le Clerc's Biblioth�que universelle and its successors. Interested parties such as Limborch and Leibniz did not really come to grips with the Essay until it had been translated into French. This was accomplished in 1700 by Pierre Coste.Coste was like Le Clerc a French Protestant refugee in Holland. In 1695 he translated Locke's Some thoughts concerning education into French and sent the author a copy. Locke was pleased and Le Clerc encouraged the young man to begin translating the Essay. In 1697 Coste was invited to Locke's retreat at Oates as tutor to the Masham children and as Locke's assistant. The translation was completed under Locke's supervision and was published in June 1700 prefaced with Locke's recommendation. Coste remained at Oates until Locke's death in 1704. Thereafter in the midst of a busy literary career he continued his work on the Essay bringing out a revised edition in 1729." AttigThe first French edition of Wynne's abridged Essay came out in 1720 translated by Jean-Paul Bosset and with the first book given in Le Clerk's summary reprinted from his 1690 Bibliot�que universelle rather than Wynne's. It was published several times in London 1720 1741 1746 1751 as well as Geneva 1738 1741 1788 Dresden 1788 and finally Uppsala 1792.OCLC: Harvard UCLA York.Hollis record. 8vo 17 x 11 x pp. including title with half-page engraved portrait of Locke 284 4 pp. Bound in contemporary half calf and speckled boards gilt morocco title label and raised bands on spine spine and corners of covers worn old ownership inscription on front end pastedown light toning throughout very good.

1937réf. 236981937. Sterling Brown's The Negro in American Fiction an analysis of Black authors and Black representation in American fiction. Published in 1937 as Bronze Booklet Number 6 part of Alain Locke's adult education program through the Associates in Negro Folk Education. Locke's editorial foreword calls Brown's work the "first full-length presentation of this subject." Brown examines the social attitudes behind successive portrayals of Black life rather than treating literary characters as separate from the racial politics that produced them. Brown Sterling A. The Negro in American Fiction. Washington D.C.: The Associates in Negro Folk Education 1937. Bronze Booklet Number 6. Editorial Foreword by Alain Locke. First edition. 209 pages. 5.25 x 8.5 inches. Staple bound in illustrated wrappers. Brown begins with the appearance of Black characters in early American literature and follows their development through antislavery fiction plantation romances Reconstruction writing realism historical fiction and the work of Black novelists. He distinguishes recurring types and conventions from more closely observed portrayals of Black speech labor family life folklore and community. A folding table organizes authors and fictional treatments by period and category. The title page identifies Brown as Associate Professor of English at Howard University. The Associates in Negro Folk Education began the Bronze Booklet series under Locke's direction in the 1930s. The series' compact volumes presented Black history art music economics literature and racial politics for adult readers outside the limits of formal academic publication. Eight booklets appeared including works by Locke Ralph Bunche Sterling Brown and Eric Williams. Brown studies white authored stereotypes in contrast with an emerging body of Black fiction showing how literary forms grapple with the American legacy of slavery segregation and racial caricature. His parallel 1937 volume Negro Poetry and Drama extended the same critical project into other literary forms.

Recent quarterbinding marbled boards attractively backed in leather. 31 cm. Horizontal crease as usual on frontis. Other internal soiling and wear but generally sound. No jacket. When we got this book the binding was beyond repair. We had the binder preserve and mount a small piece less than the size of a business-card of the original endpaper on which Locke had INSCRIBED this copy to Dorothy Maynor the talented singer and founder of the Harlem School of the Arts. The three panels of the Amistad Murals done on canvas by Hale Woodruff and located in Savery Memorial Library at Talladega College in Talladega Alabama are illustrated in color on the center pages of the unnumbered four page section which is found after page 124. These mural panels were unveiled in 1939 just a year before publication of this book. The unnumbered Amistad Murals section may have been a last minute addition to the book. The section is described on the Contents page as facing page 124. We don't know whether it was present in all copies of the 1940 edition. Associates in Negro Folk Education hardcover books
