Rare second edition of this fundamental work in the history of Western thought, the first to name Locke as the author and to include the frontispiece portrait of him. Folio, bound full paneled calf, morocco spine label lettered in gilt, elaborated diced stamping to the spine in five compartments within raised bands, engraved frontispiece portrait of Locke by P. Vanderbanck after Sylvester Brounower. In very good condition. From the library of the Isle of Wight Institution, with stamps to the title page, page 175, and verso of final leaf; ownership signature of British missionary Daniel Tyerman (1773-1828) of Newport, Isle of Wight, dated 1804 to the title page. The second edition of Locke's essay contains a number of important changes and additions to the text. It was the first to name Locke as the author and include the frontispiece portrait of him (indicative of the celebrity Locke acquired with the publication of the first edition in 1690). "When Thomas Basset was running out of copies of the first edition in February 1693, he signed a contract with Locke to pay him ten shillings per sheet for additional materials for a new printing. These additions included an expansion of Book I, Chap. IV; the chapter on power was almost entirely new; a new chapter, 'Of Identity and Diversity', was inserted as 2.27, making chapters 27-31 to be renumbered as 2.28-32; and a discussion was added to 2.9.8. Other numerous additions were made throughout, sectional summaries added in the margins, and an analytical index supplied" (Yolton). "It is Locke's second edition of the 'Essay on Human Understanding' that is the masterpiece we remember; the first, 1690, edition did not bear Locke's name, nor did it include a number of emendations that finished the work as Locke wanted it" (Matthews, Collecting Rare Books, 97). "Locke was the first to take up the challenge of Bacon and to attempt to estimate critically the certainty and the adequacy of human knowledge when confronted with God and the universe" (PMM 164). It is in this work that Locke (1632-1704) lays the foundations of British empiricism and the concept of the mind as a tabula rasa. "Locke summed up the Enlightenment in his belief in the middle class and its right to freedom of conscience and right to property, in his faith in science, and in his confidence in the goodness of humanity. His influence upon philosophy and political theory has been incalculable" (Columbia Encyclopedia).…

The third edition of John Locke's (1632-1704) major philosophical work, an excellent lifetime example with contemporary annotations and notes in pen for the fourth edition published in 1700. The Essay Concerning Human Understanding seeks to explain how it is that we as humans acquire our ideas and knowledge. In it, Locke refutes the suggestion of rationalist philosophers like Descartes that man is born with some form of innate understanding, instead famously describing the mind as a 'white paper' (i.e. blank slate) 'void of all Characters, without any Ideas' which is then filled through sensory experience (p.41). As such, the text is considered one of the primary sources of empiricism in early modern philosophy. With contemporary manuscript annotations to the margins inserting the additions which were incorporated into the fourth edition of the text published in 1700, and correcting errors. These include (in italics): p.17 (Book I, Chap. III, 5) '.the highest perfection of humane Nature, to do otherwise'; p.18 (Book I, Chap. III, 8) '.nothing else, but our own Opinion or judgement of the moral rectitude or pravity of our own actions'; p.33 (Book I, Chap. IV, 16) 'angles' for 'Angels'; p.93 (Book II, Chap. XIV, 5) 'Durtaion' for 'Duration'; and p.190 (Book II, Chap. XXVII, 29) inserting the extensive anecdote of Prince Maurice and his Brazilian parrot. Third edition; folio (33 x 21 cm); engraved portrait frontispiece of Locke after Sylvester Brounower, ads to verso of final f. of text, ownership inscription in pen to title upper margin, obscured inscription in pen to front pastedown, contemporary corrections, annotations and notes in pen to pp17, 18, 33, 93, 131, and 190, slight dampstaining to title and prelims and occasionally thereafter; blind-panelled calf, later contrasting brown morocco lettering-piece to spine, spine head cap and bottom corner of upper cover expertly repaired, a little rubbed, very good; [40], 407, [13]pp. ESTC R20221; Yolton 63.…
