A propos de cet article

Printed in Great Britain. [Date from the copyright page.] Third Impression. Introduction, Footnotes, Conclusion, Index; 344 pages, followed by publisher's catalogue [4]. The attractive blue cloth is in excellent shape with gilt lettering as bright as if just issued on the gently-bumped spine. Top-edge is colored blue. The interior is creamy-bright, fresh, and 340 pages are completely clean--HOWEVER, some faint marks remain in the introduction (only) from the erasure of red pencil. [Visible in two of my seven images of the actual book.] The original sturdy dust jacket is price-clipped with a sunned spine. On the rear flap, there is an interesting description of British wartime broadcasts over shortwave radio to inhabitants of the occupied countries of Europe---"giving the latest, most authentic news as soon as it is known." From the Introduction: "Chairs and tables do not, I fear, exist in the way in which in everyday life we suppose them to exist; but it does not follow that the physicist's analysis of them into atoms and electrons invested with secondary qualities projected upon them by the mind is therefore correct. So much, at least, I hope that I have shown." As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.…

Description de la boutique

The books listed here are, indeed, from my father's library, representing the depth and varied interests of a modern scholar's mind. Dr. Henry LeRoy Finch, professor emeritus of philosophy and a published author, trained in the classics (graduating top in his class at Yale), and went on to develop an appreciation for modern thinkers. It took over half-a-century to amass this collection of primarily-scholarly books with a broad range of subjects from Philosophy and Religion (with an emphasis on the interrelationships and intricacies of Eastern and Western Thinking) to scientific influences played out over the entire history of humankind, touching necessarily on Art, Anthropology, Archaeology, Literature, History of various Cultures, Psychology, Physics, and Spiritual Thought, including Theosophy and Mysticism. Many are esoteric philosophical works, out-of-print and unavailable elsewhere. A great number cover the interconnections of so many subjects as to defy classification. His was a working library: each volume was read and familiar, its whereabouts on a shelf always known, even when "double-parked." Though many of the books are esoteric, others will appeal to the general reader, often making an abstruse subject more approachable. (There are a hundred books on Einstein alone!) In addition, there are numerous paperbacks--classics, scholarly, first-published editions, several versions of the same book (in different translations), handy for packing along in a back pocket. Each of the volumes from the collection has a bookplate tipped in at the front and may have pencil marginalia--sparse or profuse. I have tried to reflect this in all the listings, but feel free to call and discuss further details of a book's condition. As it will take a long time to write up all the descriptions, some of you may wish to call and ask about a particular book you have been seeking. Meanwhile, I'll try to keep an eye on the "Wants" list. Thank you for visiting this page. I hope my father's books will eventually find happy homes; it was one of his last wishes.…
