1741 veau brun , dos à n. in-12, 1 portrait, XVI-376pp., (3ff.), Londres Jean Nourse 1741,
Abrégé fait par le Dr.Winne d'Oxford, ayant reçu toutes les approbations de J. Locke.Le traducteur souhaite se démarquer de Coste car il pense que celui-ci a été gêné par l'exigence de Locke de voir le mot utilisé ressembler à celui de l'anglais au lieu de faire le choix du mot le plus clair en français…

A Rotterdam, Chez Fritsch et Böhm, 1710. Title printed in red and black and with charming title vignette depicting a seating Minerva with books and press. (8), xcix, (1), 468 pp. 12mo. Contemporary vellum, paper label on spine, some staining on label, some spots on cover but a bright and very fine copy. Yolton 372; Attig 868. First French edition. This first French edition contains the first appearance in French of Locke's Epistola de tolerantia. This edition contains furthermore: Le Clerc's Eloge, Locke's Latin epitaph, the Conduct of the Understanding, Discours sur les Miracles, Méthode nouvelle de dresser des recueils, Mémoires pour servir à la vie d'Antoine Ashley, Comte de Shaftesbury.The work is modelled after the Posthumus Works of 1706 but printing the first French translation of the 'toleration' letter from the Latin edition instead of the incomplete fourth letter, and omitting the 'Examination of P. Malebranche's Opinion'.Locke defends religious toleration in general, marking it as separate from the concerns of civil magistrates as a private and personal matter. Locke however advocates that toleration is to be withheld from religious groups who deny it to others. His view was of course supported by his experiences in France, where the persecution of the Huguenots had reached extremes between 1679 and 1685. - Very good copy, uncut.

In Firenze, Appresso Andrea Bonducci, 1751. Titles printed in red and black, large folding table, engraved vignette on title of first volume. Two volumes in one. xxxiii, (1, blank), 191 (misnumbered 189), (1, blank) pp.; xxiii, (1, blank), 316, (2), 116 pp. 4to. Contemporary Italian vellum boards, label with gilt lettering to spine, a very nice copy. Einaudi 3476; Goldsmiths 8635; Higgs 115; Yolton 164 (only four copies); Attig 507; Kress, Italian Economic Literature, i, 275. First Italian edition, rare. 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.

Abrégé de l'essay de Monsieur Locke sur l'entendement humain, traduit de l'anglais par M. Bosset, nouvelle édition. (A Londres: chez Jean Nourse, 1751). [M.C.: philosophie]
London, J. Bettenham, 1720. 8vo. Nice contemporary English Cambridge-style full calf binding with five raised bands and gilt title-label to spine. Neat minor repair to extremities. A bit of overall wear, but a nice and tight copy. Internally nice and clean with only some occasional soiling that is very light. Engraved title-vignette (36 - i.e. title-page + dedication), XXIV (i.e. ""The Character of Mr. Locke"" by Peter Coste), (2 - i.e. contents), 362, (18 - i.e. index), (4 - i.e. errata + advertisements) pp. + one plate (""The Solar System"").
First edition of this important collection of hitherto unpublished works by Locke, containing the first printing of his unique work on Natural philosophy ""The Elements of Natural Philosophy"" as well as first printings of other important works. Assisted by Anthony Collins, in 1720 the journalist Pierre Desmaizeaux brought out a new collection of Works and pieces by John Locke that had not previously been published. This collection, ""A Collection of Several Pieces"", came to play a great role in the Locke scholarship, not least in recent times, and not least because it contains the first printing of his ""Elements of Natural Philosophy""The ""Elements of Natural Philosophy"" constitutes Locke's main work in natural philosophy, and it is a work that pas puzzled Locke scholars and readers ever since its appearance. The work seems to need some further explanation"" at a firsthand glance it doesn't look very much like Locke - the greatest of the English philosophers who has so frequently been accused of not understanding the exact sciences and who even encouraged the youth not to learn these but to educate themselves in superficial and useful party-conversation. Thus, numerous attempts have been made to establish the influence that resulted in this educational work of natural science. The two dominating answers to the question of influence are now: Newton and Descartes. It now seems to be fairly commonly recognized that Newton, a personal friend of Locke, even contributed directly to the work. ""When Locke himself at the end of his life came to compose a treatise on natural philosophy for a pupil, we have reason to believe that he obtained the advice and help of the most brilliant scientist of the century, his close friend Isaac Newton. As we shall see, this unique educational work itself, ""The Elements of Natural Philosophy"", belies the myth of Locke the scientific smatterer."" (Axtell, Locke, Newton, and the Elements of Natural Philosophy, p. 244). However, Descartes influence also seems to be obvious"" ""The influence of the ""Principles"" (by Descartes) is also obvious in Locke's posthumously published ""Elements of Natural Philosophy"". There is a striking similarity in the order of exposition, although there are also considerable differences: Locke carefully eschewed Descartes' ""a priori"" metahpysics of nature... We find him rather emphasizing the essential role of experience. For example, Locke introduced Newtonian universal gravitation as follows:... Thus, according to Locke empirical support was necessary to establish the law of nature. Although the exposition looks quite similar to Descartes' ""Principles"", the ""Elements"" in fact contain several anti-Cartesian remarks in favour of the experimental philosophy."" (Aoki, Descartes and Locke on the Nature of Matter. In: Hutton and Schuurmann edt., Studies on Locke, p. 77).""Elements of Natural Philosophy"" was printed in no less than nine times during the 1th century and appeared in both Russian and French during the 18th century as well.The present ""Collection of several Pieces"" furthermore included a collection of letters from Locke to Anthony Collins, ""Remarks upon some of Mr. Norris's Books..."", ""Some Thoughts concerning Reading and Study for a Gentleman..."", and ""Rules of a society..."", all printed here for the first time, as well as an English translation of Coste's Eulogy (""The Character of Mr. Locke"", originally published in French in 1705), and reprints of ""The fundamental Constitutions of Carolina"" and ""A Letter from a person of Quality..."".""Remarks upon some of Mr. Norris's books..."" is the third of Locke's replies to Norris. ""Some thoughts concerning reading and study for a gentleman"" constitutes Locke's reply to Samuel Bold's question, on behalf of a parishioner, on how to create a course of reading and study. ""Rules of a Society"" constitutes the rules that Locke set up for a small group of friends who met once a week to discuss ""useful Knowledge"" and to promote ""Truth and Christian Charity"". Throughout his life Locke created several of these ""societies"", one of which led to his ""An Essay Concerning Human Understanding"", another one being ""The College"" in London after the Revolution.

First Latin edition (and second overall printing) of a selection of Locke's responses to Edward Stillingfleet, Bishop of Worcester. These are not only an important source in understanding Locke's late and mature view on religion but are probably the most famous and indebt discussions related to his seminal work ""An Essay concerning Humane Understanding"" Locke engaged in. The topic is of special interest since: ""Religion and Christianity in particular is perhaps the most important influence on the shape of Locke's philosophy"". (SEP: John Locke). The debate was essentially about Locke's definition of substance in ""An Essay..."". Stillingfleet argued that Locke advocated against dualism (mind - body) and thereby opening a door to Unitarianism. Locke did not support this view he, however, did not clearly reject the notion of Unitarianism and Socinianism. The volume contains the following:1. Bernoulli, Jakob. Circinus proportionum nauticus scala loxodromica instructus. Pp. 91-3.2. Bernoulli, Johann. Cycloidis primariae segmenta innumera quadraturam recipienta. Pp. 316-20 + one engraved plate. 3.
