London: Longmans, Green, Reader And Dyer, 1869., 1869. 2 Volumes. 8vo. pp. xxiv, 453, [1]; vi, 403, [1]. with half-titles. An attractive set in contemporary half calf, gilt backs. Second Enlarged Edition, the first to be edited by John Stuart Mill. "Mill’s Analysis is a book of singular merit, from the terse and lucid exposition of a one-sided point of view. He was greatly influenced by Hobbes, Locke, Hume, and by the French writers, such as Condillac, Helvetius, and Cabanis; but his chief master was Hartley, whose theory of association he applied and extended. The book marks a distinct stage in the development of the empirical school, and many of J. S. Mill’s logical and ethical doctrines are evidently suggested by the attempt to solve problems to which his father’s answers appeared unsatisfactory." (DNB) NCBEL III 1549. Rand I 372.. Hardcover.

Shaftebury influenced in various ways all of the chief ethical writers of the eighteenth century, and had a great impact on the continental philosophers, notably Diderot and Leibniz.

London: Printed by J.Streater, for Livewell Chapman, 1656. First Edition. Harrington ranks second to Hobbes as the most important political philosopher of the period. Despite his republican sympathies he remained neutral during the Civil War because of his personal regard for the King. His famous political Utopia, the Oceana was patterned after the Republic of Venice and was considered by Hume in his Essays (Idea of a Perfect Commonwealth) to be the "only valuable model of a commonwealth" extant. The work exerted considerable influence, particularly in America, in the constitutions of the proprietary colonies of Carolina, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and in the American Revolution. "The written constitution, the unlimited use of the elective principle and the separation of powers are all points which may have been derived directly from the Oceana, while all the minor points of machinery, rotation, checks and balances, popular ratifications and special protection for the constitution seem to have… Read More

Second Edition (first: 1731). "Wolff was essentially a popularizer and (to some extent inspired by Leibniz) sought to effect a formal synthesis between Scholasticism, the new mathematical methods, and more recent scientific conceptions.Wolff's deterministic formulations of his cosmological principles. emphasize the rational connections between things, given as sequences or coexistence.The visible world is a machine, operating in accordance with the laws of motion: almost one-third of the Cosmologia generalis treats these laws. (Gerd Buchdahl, DSB) "It was due to the influence of Wolff that theology was supplanted by philosophy as the leading discipline at German universities and the Wolffian system dominated German intellectual life until the time of Kant."
