A Bright, Tight, Clean And Near New Example With Just A Touch Of Rubbing At Corners. Striking Bookplate By Williams, Signed W, Of A Lamp And A Hammer And Sickle, With Text All In Capital Letters "So Far As The So-Called Right Of Property Is Consistent With An Enlightened Social Ethics We Claim That Right With Respect To This Our Book Katherine Adams Williams Donald Cary Williams", With Typed Line Along Foot Of Bookplate "Publisher$::: 10/32". Williams [1899-1983] Was Chairman Of The Department Of Philosophy At Harvard University, And Was One Of America's Great Philosophers. His Wife Katherine Adams Williams, Phd [University Of California, 1928] Was A Professor Of Psychology At Radcliffe. "Many Philosophers Have Admitted The Existence Of Abstract Particulars, Properties That Occur As Particulars, Or, As Donald Williams Dubbed Them, 'Tropes'. Anyone Who Accepts Peirce'S Type/Token Distinction As Holding For The Colors, For Example, Accepts Instances Of Properties As Particulars. Anyone Who, Like Locke, Adheres To A Substance-Property Ontology, But Also Insists That All Things Are Always Only Particular, Affirms That Properties Are Particulars - That Is, Tropes. What Marks Off A Trope Metaphysic From Others Is To Be Found In What The Ontology Denies, Rather Than In What It Affirms. A Trope Metaphysic Gets Its Importance From The Primacy That It Accords To Them. Its Bite Comes From The Claim That These Are The Basic Elements, The 'Alphabet Of Being', As Donald Williams Has It. This Claim Involves As An Essential Element The Denial Of The Existence Of Genuine Universals. This Is A First And Most Significant Dimension Of Economy. Further, In Williams' Theory, The Primacy Of Tropes Is Coupled With A Bundle Theory Of Complex Concrete Particulars. So The Theory Also Involves The Denial Of The Reality Of Substances As Substrata Bearing The Properties That Inhere In Them, Or Acting As An Essential Principle Of Individuation. Here Is A Second Significant Dimension Of Economy. This Search For Ontic Economy Drives Trope Theory. Williams'S Ontology Admits But A Single Basic Category, The Abstract Particular Or Trope. It Is Worth Emphasizing That This Position Is Not Any Form Of Nominalism, Where That Term Implies The Denial Of The Existence Of Properties (And Relations). Quite The Contrary: Trope Theory Affirms That Reality Consists In Nothing But (Monadic Or Polyadic) Properties. Rather Than A Nominalism, This View Is Better Described As A Strict Particularism - It Does Not Deny That There Are Properties, But Denies That Properties Are Universals. Nor Does Trope Theory Deny The Existence Of Simple Or Complex Individuals. It Does Not Admit Substance As A Distinct Category, But Individual Basic Tropes Are Substances In The Human Sense - They Are Capable Of Independent Existence. They Do Not Require An Underlying Substratum To Bear Them. It Is One Of This Ontology'S Great Attractions That It Can In This Way Dispense With The Inherence Relation, Together With All Its Attendant Difficulties. In This Classic Paper ["The Elements Of Being"], Donald Williams Pioneers The Trope Metaphysic, Providing Us, In Beguiling Rhetoric, And A Most Admirable Independence Of Mind, An Original View Of A Perennial Crux In Metaphysics". -Keith Campbell, Emeritus Professor Of Philosophy At The University Of Sidney, Australia.

Flexible post-World War II Wilson-Jones Loose Leaf 39899 black calf post-binder, rounded corners, all photo w/ clear contrast and resolution, toning to clippings, still a VG exemplar, from the library of A. Rodney Eckerson (1930-2024), former purchasing agent for the Port of Portland, and noted amateur photographer. An exceptional photographic facsimile edition of this exceedingly scarce real estate brochure issued originally to tout the beauty of this planned housing development created from the Hazelfern Farm sold by the Ladd Estate Company in 1909, and further extra-illustrated and grangerized by Eckerson. The original investors platted the residential development with famed landscape architect John Charles Olmstead, and the houses on undulating wide streets reflect the Pacific Northwest Arts & Crafts bungalow aesthetic, with many of the houses depicted in this brochure still existing. The original development banned alcohol sales, apartments, hotels, flats, stables, and commercial buildings, and in fact the garages were required to be located in the rear on alleys, houses with 22 foot setbacks, and approved architectural designs. Also reproduced here, is the extraordinary Laurelhurst plat map executed by Charles Rullman (b. 1876) drawn originally about 1910, the year after the purchase of William Ladd's Hazel Fern Farm. With lots selling from $ 800 and building restrictions ranging from $ 2000 to $ 5000, the streets were designed to follow the local contours, and housing exclusion covenants specifically prohibited African-Americans, Japanese-Americans, Chinese-Americans, or Native Americans from purchasing properties, or building with Laurelhurst. Rullman was also well known for the massive Portland City street map he executed around 1910 which measured 6 x 12 feet. Laurelhurst Addition was originally part of the Elijah & Saloma Davidson, and Terence and John Quinn Land Claim, acquired in 1856. Although divided between Terence and his wife Mary, who died while their daughter Mary was only 10 weeks old, Terence Quinn later took out a mortgage from William Ladd which he only paid on for two years before leaving for the Washington Territory, and Ladd foreclosed in 1870. Later Mary Quinn sued for ownership, and by 1894 the case had wound through numerous courts, before dropping the case when sent to the Supreme Court confirming the Ladd family's ownership. Eckerson has also included images of the Laurelhurst streetcars, as well as early Birds-Eye view of the new development, which was from the original land promotion. In addition, he later added photos of Montavilla along Stark, east of Laurelhurst, with 10 before and after photos documenting Montavilla sometime in 1909, paired with identical location perspective photos dating from 1971 depicting Mt. Tabor in the distance, businesses, Montavilla Department Store, streetcar route, and even two homes still surviving from 1909.
