Grinstein 18306.
Jean S. Yolton John Locke: A Descriptive Bibliography #328. Contains much new material by Locke not hitherto published. A 2nd edition in 2 volumes 8vo appeared in 1830.The collection, published in June 1829, was compiled from the King moiety of the Locke inheritance. The biography occupies the first forty pages. It is followed by extracts from Locke's journals, correspondence, commonplace book and miscellaneous papers. The two missing pages from the fourth 'Letter for Toleration' have been supplied from an original draft (pp. 360-61); that 'letter', with the omission, was first published in the Posthumous Works of 1706 (no. 299). There are some 40 letters or excerpts of letters from Locke and "40 letters and 10 excerpts to him. The latter are accurately printed, the texts being modernized. With [Locke's letters] King took great liberties, omitting passages without indication, sometimes combining parts of two or more letters to form a single letter." (Correspondence of Locke Vol. I, p. xlv) [Taken from the description in Yolton.
Chapters on Plato's Gorgias, Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, Hobbes' Leviathan, St. Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians, Hume's Enquiry into the Principles of Morals, Mill's Three Essays on Religion, Arnold's Literature and Dogma, Bradley's Ethical Studies, and D. H. Lawrence's The Man Who Died.
Facsimile reprint of the 1912 first edition in English, which reprints the French text of a Leyden printing the same year as the first with typographical errors corrected with English translation and historical notes by Frank Bunker Gilbreth (1868-1924) based on the 1865 Assézat edition, translation revised by Mary Whiton Calkins (1863-1930)."In many ways L'homme machine was a ground-breaking work. While arguing the case for a uniform material dependence of states of the soul upon states of the body, it maintained a distinctly antimetaphysical tone. … [It] introduced the critical notion that conscious and voluntary processes are only distinguished from involuntary and instinctual activities by the relative complexity of their mechanical substrate. In articulating this point, La Mettrie went var beyond the static mechanism of Descartes to conceive of the living machine as a purposive, autonomous, and dynamic system" [Woznia Mind and Body: From René Descartes to William James, p. 9]. For the importance of La Mettrie to the formation of the standard biomedical model in both medicine & psychiatry, see pages 382-383 in John Gach, "Biological Psychiatry in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries" IN Wallace & Gach, History of Psychiatry and Medical Psychology (Springer, 2008).
Leland's principal work and still a valuable contribution to the history of English thought. Volume two is almost entirely devoted to observations on Hume's philosophical essays (pages 1-135) and to a defence of natural and revealed religion against the attempts made upon both in the posthumous works of Bolingbroke. A supplementary third volume including "Reflections upon Bolingbroke's Letters on the Study of History" appeared in 1756."[A]n invaluable contemporary resource of the literature of the deistical controversy in Britain, reviewing, often in great detail, the works of the most prominent deists, and providing brief summaries of the responses that these works evoked" [Dictionary of Eighteenth Century British Philosphers 2: 544]. Devotes chapters to Charles Blount, Thomas Chubb, Anthony Collins, Lord Herbert of Cherbury, Shaftesbury, Matthew Tindal, John Toland, and Thomas Woolston.
First edition with this title, enlarged and mostly rewritten. As one would expect with Lewes, as much a history of philosophical psychology (from Lewes' positivist point of view) as a history of philosophy.
One of the first books in English about Nietzsche and probably most responsible for stimulating interest in Nietzsche by American readers.
OCLC records no copies of the Latin edition earlier than this third edition for which six locations are cited: Harvard, Dartmouth, Drexel, Middlebury College, Nat Lib of Scotland, and Oxford. Brunet (5th ed.) III, 1620; Graesse IV, 485 (neither citing an edition earlier than the 1716). Originally delivered as lectures and apparently first published in 1713, though we can find no record of the existence of a 1713 edition. Translated into German in 1714 as Zwei Reden von der charlataneria. Both this third & the 1726 fourth edition contain the objections to Mencken's text expressed in letters by Christoph August Heumann (1681-1763) [using the pseudonym Sebastianus Stadelius]. Rector at Leipzig, Heumann was a notable and many-faceted scholar, philosopher, and theologian who edited the first philosophical journal, Acta philosophorum from 1711 to 1726.An important book that attacked medical quacks and the pseudolearned in mathematics, philosophy, and other erudite fields. Mencken translated the common German term "Scharlatan" into Latin since, as he wrote, there was no appropriate Latin word for the idea. The German word, as well as the English "charlatan," derives from "Cerretani," the inhabitants of the Italian town of Cerreto, whose tramps and vagrants in the Middle Ages used trickery to relieve the guileless of their money. Mencken extended the notion of charlatanry to the learned professions. Translated into English in 1937 with introduction and notes by H. L. Mencken (who was not related to Johann).
