Edition originale
First edition of the prelude to Tucker's nine-volume magnum opus, The Light of Nature Pursued, which outlined a vast and idiosyncratic philosophical system, and which had a noted influence on his philosophical contemporaries. Tucker was an empiricist in the tradition of John Locke, holding that the mind begins as a blank slate. In his moral philosophy he proposed that our own satisfaction is the motive of our actions, and that the maximum satisfaction of this is the ultimate moral good. He can consequently be seen as an early precursor of utilitarianism. This work, published pseudonymously, was not well received by the critics. "The 1763 fragment was strongly criticized in the Monthly Review, to which Tucker provided a humorous reply, Man in Quest of Himself, under the new pseudonym Cuthbert Comment" (ODNB). The Light of Nature Pursued, however, enjoyed a high reputation from its first appearance, and was a noted influence on William Paley, Thomas Malthus, and James MacIntosh. ESTC T117455. Octavo (198 x 124 mm). Contemporary calf, double gilt fillet to bands and covers. Contemporary ownership inscription of James Drummond of Bridgend in ink to front free endpaper and in pencil to front pastedown; 18th-century note of author and their death date on title. Minor restoration at head of rear joint, short closed tear at fore edge of title neatly taped on verso, light finger soiling, ink splash to p. 153. A good copy.
