Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Date on the title page. Printed in the U.S.A. First Printing of the Second, Revised Edition. Translators' Preface, Author's Preface, Detailed Contents, Footnotes, Bibliographical Notes, Index; xii, 333 pages [+ 4 pages ads]. The original red cloth is quite good; however, the boards are peeking through at the bottom corner tips and the spine is sunned, with some fraying. The gilt lettering remains bright on the upper board; on the spine, it is less so, but still legible. The interior is bright, despite a touch of normal toning, and gentle penciling by my philosopher-father on six pages. There is an impressive-looking signature in ink on the front free endpaper; also the remains of a small label---perhaps a review copy. Top edge gilt. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] "In this book the attempt has been made to differentiate the histories of the separate branches of mathematical science. There are considered in order number-systems and number-symbols, arithmetic, algebra, geometry and trigonometry, allowing, as far as possible, within the narrow confines of a single branch of the elements, a rapid and sure orientation."---from the Author's Preface. 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. …

Descripción de la tienda

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.…
