St Mary's Books are incredibly proud to present this 1824 24th edition of, "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding Written by John Locke" contained in two volumes. Bound in calf leather with intricate gold gilt blind tooled designs to the cover, edges, and spine, this hardback book has five raised bands to its spine, separating the dark brown leather title bands. Inside, one finds 510 (Vol. I) and 459 (Vol II) pages of text, supplemented in the first volume by a fold-out chart analysis of moral ideas. Within the pages of this book, the reader is treated to John Locke's seminal essay concerning the foundation of human knowledge, in which Locke described the mind as a blank state at birth where knowledge is gained through experience, in opposition to the rationalists who believed in some degree of innate knowledge. These fascinating ideas, here contained in two volumes are in very good condition - though there is some very minor scraping to the covers, some foxing to the interior, and William Watson Smyth bookplates to the freeendpapers, the two 1824 copies otherwise remain well-preserved. "Locke on Understanding" is looking for a new home and would make for the perfect gift for any philosophy-lover.
