[JOHANN JAKOB BRUCKER] [WILLIAM ENFIELD]

Institutiones Historiae Philosophicae / The History of Philosophy

NP, NP ND (1771), hb. Bound in period brown leather with no adornments or lettering. 12mo, pp. 128.
¶ Brucker's history of philosophy was published in Latin from 1742, and was considered one of the most important, and authoritative, editions until the 19th century. Enfield's history drew upon Brucker's, but was not a literal translation. It was first published in London, in two volumes, in 1791. Our volume is printed in Latin and what appears to be Icelandic, but the type face is in what is sometimes inelegantly described as "Gothic", and thus is hard to decipher. There is no title page, or table of contents. The text appears to begin with Socrates and to be incomplete, ending at the beginning of chapter IX. Boards are bowed, with a bit of wear to edges. Early signature to front endpaper. Typical age-toning to paper. Still tightly-bound. A good copy.

BACONI, FRANCISCI DE VERULAMIO [FRANCIS BACON, BARON VERULAM]

NOVUM ORGANUM, sive Indicia Vera de Interpretatione Naturae

Oxonii (Oxford, UK), 1813, . 8vo, pp. vii, 318.
¶ Francis Bacon (1561-1626) was an English philosopher and statesman. Although born a commoner, he was knighted in 1603, and became a baron in 1618. He conceived of a "Great Instauratio", or "Renewal of the Sciences", which was to be in six parts, the first of which was "The Advancement of Learning" (1605), and the second being this one, the title in English of which is "The New Organon, or Directions Concerning the Interpretation of Nature", which was first published in 1620. The remaining four parts were never completed. Although "he contributed no new actual scientific discovery; he laid out the lines and rules whereby the great discoveries of the future might be made" (British Authors Before 1800, p. 19). Our copy, a later printing, is in the original printer's boards, which have now detached. The spine strip is absent. Early 19th century bookseller's ticket affixed to inside front board (Robert Seton / "Head of the Mound" / Edinburgh). Some foxing to contents but the text block is otherwise clean and tight. A nice copy, waiting to be bound, and priced accordingly.

¶ Quintilian or, to give him his full name, Marcus Fabius Quintilanus, was born in Spain in the last century before Christ, and was a famous teacher of rhetoric in Rome. The Younger Pliny was one of his pupils. There is some doubt as to his authorship of these "Declamationes". This is a title in the Loeb Classical Library, the two volumes being numbered 500 and 501. The text is in both the original Latin and its English translation. These are the original books, not some abominable print upon demand concoction.
