1864Due voll. in -8°, pp. (2), VIII, 492, (2); (2) VIII, 574, (2); illustrazioni nel testo; legatura in tela editoriale con fregi in oro ai piatti e titoli al dorso. Prima edizione in volume di questo importante lavoro del filosofo e scienziato inglese, considerato un caposaldo dell’evoluzionismo: questo è un’esemplare della seconda tiratura fatta contestualmente alla prima e al frontespizio porta la dicitura “Stereotyped-Second Thousand”). Lo stesso Darwin avrebbe sostenuto, dopo aver letto il lavoro, che la coniazione spenceriana “sopravvivenza del più adatto” (in quest’opera impiegata per la prima volta) fosse preferibile alla sua “selezione naturale”. Il tentativo di Spencer è di armonizzare le teorie di Darwin, introdotte poco tempo prima, con il meccanismo individuato da Lamarck di “carattere acquisito”. I “Principles of Biology” uscì a dispense prima di essere riunito in questi due volumi, dispense pubblicate fra il ’64 e il ’67, ed è parte del progetto di “Synthetic Philosophy” intorno al quale il pensatore inglese lavorò tra il 1862 e il 1893, un progetto da intendersi anche come editoriale, e del quale questi due volumi costituiscono la seconda parte (dopo i “First Principles”. Questa copia comprende, in entrambi i volumi, il prospetto del progetto nonché l’informazione dell’editore sulle altre opere di Spencer. Sono comprese anche le appendici, fatto non comunissimo. First edition (but “second thousand”) of this important work by the english scientist, it’s considered a cornerstone of the evolutionism. The Spencer’s effort was to put together the Darwin theories with these of Lamarck.

2019ABOUT THE BOOK The Prince is a 16th-century political treatise by the Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli. Although The Prince was written as if it were a traditional work in the mirrors for princes style, it is generally agreed that it was especially innovative.Its salient features are: • It is notable for being in direct conflict with the dominant Catholic and scholastic doctrines of the time, particularly those concerning politics and ethics. • Although it is relatively short, the treatise is the most remembered of Machiavelli's works and the one most responsible for bringing the word "Machiavellian" into usage as a pejorative. • It contains a list of principles used to acquire and maintain political power. Machiavelli has created a ruthless guide on how to rule the country in this volume. The book is dedicated to Lorenzo De Medici, the ruler of Florence. The author explains in simple language about the nature of great men and the characters of the government. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Italian diplomat Niccolò Machiavelli is best known for writing The Prince, a handbook for unscrupulous politicians that established its author as the "father of modern political theory." He was born on May 3, 1469, in Florence, Italy.The young Niccolò Machiavelli became a diplomat after the temporary fall of Florence's ruling Medici family in 1494. He served in that position for 14 years in Italy's Florentine Republic during the Medici family's exile, during which time he earned a reputation for deviousness. From the 13th century onward, Machiavelli’s family was wealthy and prominent, holding on occasion Florence’s most important offices. His father, Bernardo, a doctor of laws, was nevertheless among the family’s poorest members. After his involvement in an unsuccessful attempt to organize a Florentine militia against the return of the Medici family to power in 1512 became known, Machiavelli was tortured, jailed and banished from an active role in political life.
