FEARN, JOHN (1768-1837), First Lines of the Human Mind.
London: Longman, 1820. 1st Edition. xliv+602+[2]pp. [last leaf being the errata]. Thick octavo. Original paper-backed drab boards with paper spine label. Sheets somewhat browned and some wear to the edges of the boards but a pleasing copy. Scarce. An independent English philosopher highly critical of both the English and Scottish traditions in philosophy, Fearn published 12 books, of which this, his seventh, is the most general exposition of his own inductively founded thinking. He reads a bit like a cross between Descartes and Husserl and is highly critical of the empiricist realism of Reid and (especially, in this book) of Stewart, to whom he addresses a long, critical introduction and with whom he had corresponded. 1 pound 14.0 ounces = 854 grams. 9.1 x 5.6 x 1.6 inches = 22.7 x 14 x 4cm. Binding: HB.
