About This Item

Saunders & Otley, Conduit St, 1835. 1st English edition.. Hardback. Full calf, P. 2 volumes, lxxxvi+350pp, iv+336pp, leather very rubbed & worn & with the upper board of volume I detached & the other boards loose, interally a nice set with the paper bright & unmarked so a set worthy of restoration. Ex Libris Charles Hebbert with his armorial bookplate. The first English translation of Schlegel's last published work, his 'Philosophie der Geschichte' in which he argues that 'World history is not a progression towards greater rationality, but an attempt to return to spiritual grace and harmony with the divine. Although this work does give great importance to non-Western cultures, Schlegel still sees European Christianity as the turning point of history and the culmination of civilization' [Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy]. Karl Wilhelm Friedrich von Schlegel [ 1772 - 1829 ] German Romantic philosopher & poet, initially an atheist he converted to Catholicism in the early 19th century.

Terms of Sale

Eastleach Books

All our books offered are in at least good condition, with the majority very good and better. Descriptions are brief, but PLEASE ask for more detail if required. We can scan books & jackets, signatures etc. MINOR inscriptions ignored in NON FICTION titles, unless really detrimental to the book - but then a 150 year old ink name adds character surely? Modern hardbacks are described as being Cloth bound, even though predominantly they come in paper covered boards pressed to look like cloth. Book grades are given book then dustjacket (if any) Running from F - Fine, VG - Very Good, G - Good, P - Poor. A fine book will look almost like the day it was bought, a VG one will have some evidence of prior ownership, G means a nice clean copy, obviously secondhand & P implies a COMPLETE copy that has suffered a hard life & will need some TLC. We take into account the books age when grading, so a 250 year old book graded as VG will look more second hand that a 5 year old book graded the same. On the Net since 1998. All prices are in GBP. Payment can be made by Visa, Mastercard, Switch & Solo or JCB. After your order is placed, FAX your card details etc to +44 (0)1635 48444. Any Book may be returned - but please let us know prior to sending a book back. We wrap each book individually and don't just stick em in a jiffy bag with a prayer. Paperbacks are packed with card stiffeners. WE BUY BOOKS! Happy reading!
