1882 1st/1st Mark Twain The Prince and the Pauper Illustrated Literature RARE

"When I am king, they shall not have bread and shelter only, but also teachings out of books, for a full belly is little worth where the mind is starved."

― Mark Twain, The Prince and the Pauper

A rare first American edition of Mark Twain's popular novel "The Prince and the Pauper". This humorous work follows the adventures of Tom Canty, a ragged street dweller who looks remarkably like Edward VI, son of King Henry VIII. The two eventually switch places in society after the prince convinces Canty to swap, so that he can experience the 'outside' world.

This first edition meets the expected first issue points. See below.

Description:
1682 Bible & Letters of Saint Jerome Catholic Church History Asceticism PARIS

"When the stomach is full, it is easy to talk of fasting."
– Jerome, Epistle 58

Saint Jerome was a 4th-century, early church father. While he was most known for his translation of the Bible, he also wrote a collection of letters which are now known his 'Epistles.' These letters were written on a variety of topics, but most of them were written as warnings against sin and detestable devices such as sexual immorality within the clergy, clothing advised for virgins, gluttony and fasting, and laboring over Biblical texts. These letters were written to and from important men and women of the church such as Augustine, Theophilus, Heliodorus, and the Popes.

This 1682 French edition was published in Paris by Couterot, translated by Jean Petit, and features a portrait frontispiece of Jerome.

1741 John LOCKE Essay Concerning Human Understanding Philosophy Tabula Rasa 2v
"I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts."
– John Locke
After studying medicine under the teaching of Thomas Sydenham, John Locke began his journey of philosophical thinking that would develop into his most famous written work. 'An Essay Concerning Human Understanding,' is one of the most important books on the development and cultivation of human understanding and knowledge. It is in this work that Locke first describes the idea of 'blank slate' of the mind or 'tabula rasa.' Locke's 'Essay' is known to have directly influenced famous philosophers such as David Hume and George Berkeley.
This rare 1741 two-volume edition was published in London and features a portrait of Locke.

St. Ives: Being The Adventures of a French Prisoner in England (1897) is an unfinished novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was completed in 1898 by Arthur Quiller-Couch. Unable to write, Stevenson dictated thirty chapters of the novel to his stepdaughter as a diversion from his debilitating illness. He alternated dictating St. Ives and The Weir of Hermiston but gradually lost interest in the former. The plot concerns the adventures of the dashing Capitaine Jacques St. Ives, a Napoleonic soldier, after his capture by the British. Condition: Corners bumped and rubbed, shelf wear, hinges and spine heal moderately rubbed, previous owner's name on front end paper else a very good copy.
