Three Treatises (1744) was written in the form of dialogues conducted in the Earl of Pembroke's Gardens at Wilton. Harris argued that 'motion, sound, colour and figure' are the four expressions of art and thus became an influential predecessor to Lessing's Laokoon (1766). Hermes (1751) was one of the most important and influential eighteenth-century works on language and earned its author the nickname 'Hermes' Harris.Harris was an anti-Lockian, and distinguished sharply between the faculties of sensation and reflection. Language, for him, is associated primarily with reflection, and although it can be used to express thoughts about the objects of sensation, this is inessential to it. His idea of a universal grammar has naturally led to comparisons with Saussure and Chomsky. Though also sold separately, these two volumes were evidently conceived of as a set (and are here numbered as one); Harris presented a set to the British Museum, of which he was a trustee, in November 1765. ESTC T71082 and T116396. Language: English.…
