The final installment in Locke's ongoing contretemps with Bishop Stillingfleet which was launched with Stillingfleet's Discourse in Vindication of the Doctrine of the Trinity 1696 in which he accused Locke of denying the mysteries of Christianity and promulgating a Materialist philosophy. Lockes first Reply to the Bishop came in 1797; it was answered producing a second Reply - and then yet another Answer with Locke getting in the last word with the current Reply not long after which Stillingfleet died. As it were a philosophical coup de gras; a consequential text and a useful explication in Locke's own words of his epistemological system. PFORZHEIMER 608. ESTC R32483. Printed by H.C. for A. and J.

1984réf. 87299London: Murqi Press 1984. First Limited Edition. Square Octavo. #8 of a Limitation of 10 copies only. 22cm. Publisher's black rexine titled in gilt to spine. 95pp. Some very light wear to the corners a small cosmetic not structural crack to the laminate at the base of the front spine hinge strong and tight; internally clean and fresh with original 4pp Murqi Press prospectus laid in at the front; signed and numbered to limitation page. A near fine copy. Well this is a weird one no pun intended; William Hope Hodgson basically the human background along with Algernon Blackwood and Robert W. Chambers to a foreground that has H.P. Lovecraft standing in a spotlight surrounded by mildly disfunctional fanboys simultaneously wrote a lot and not enough. He had a relatively brief career as a published and popular writer before being disintegrated by a shell on forward observations during Fourth Ypres in April 1918. He gave us The House on The Borderland The Night Land The Ghost Pirates and others and created the supernatural techie detective Thomas Carnacki out of whole cloth for our queasy and uncomfortable enjoyment. Hodgson ran away to sea in search of adventure as a teenager and although he eventually found his feet there are more than a few suggestions that he suffered assault and other indiginities as a raw 14 year old apprentice at sea. He became an advocate for apprentice's rights and worked actively to increase the safeguards and comforts of young men in unfamiliar and vulnerable positions. He took up body building advocated for self sufficiency taught unarmed combat to the Blackburn Police annoyed the hell out of Harry Houdini by embarrassing him during a music hall performance and most importantly wrote a number of short stories poems and novels mostly in an attempt to keep his head above water but also because William Hope Hodgson was clearly one of those men for whom 'giving up' is an abstract concept only entertained by other people who clearly just need the support of someone like him. He gave us some of the most important weird and supernatural tales in the canon that's certainly true but he also wrote a number of truly great sea tales. This book published in a vanishingly small limitation by the God Emperor of supernatural bookdealers the mighty George Locke of Ferret Fantasy contains a number of Hodgson's seagoing tales salvaged from the pages of the Red Magazine between 1912-1916. Signed and numbered by Mr. Locke to the limitation page using his Murqi Press imprint which I'm pretty sure he ran out of the shed in his back garden which was the bookdealing equivalent of Tutankhamun's Tomb only more suburban South London with the intent of preserving tales which otherwise would just be footnotes in a variety of forgotten Edwardian boy's magazines many of which lasted for only a short run or were so ephemeral you might as well have printed them on cobwebs. Before he died in the trenches Hodgson wrote to a friend looking forward hopefully to the stories that might be written after experiencing the horrors of war; he never got to write them himself but there is no doubt that the work he left behind encouraged many of the writers we now consider great to step in and try to carry on where he could not.

Housed in a full green cloth clamshell with morocco spine label. According to Attig this collection of letters was probably assembled by Peter King and Anthony Collins. 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."
