Descripci�n

Printed in Great Britain. Date on the title page. First Printing. Introduction, Chronological Catalogue, Principal Headings of the Classification, Subject Index, Alphabetical Index of Subjects, Author Index, Additions and Corrections; xii, 403, [1] pages. The original dark green printed wraps are very good with mild creasing to the spine where the black lettering is a bit dulled but still clear; the binding is strong and, despite some dust-spotting to the top edge, the interior is creamy-bright throughout. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] From the Introduction: "The subject of non-euclidean geometry has been discovered, or at least partially so, on several distinct occasions, but it is always associated with the names of Lobachevskij and Bolyai Janos whose first works on the subject appeared about 1830. The subject did not really begin to be studied seriously, however, until about 1870, when Houel's French translations of their somewhat inaccessible memoirs appeared. � The study of space of higher dimensions begins about the same time, for, except for a few scattered references in Kant and Leibniz, there is no explicit mention of the subject until Cayley's classical paper of 1843, and it did not become to any extent a subject of study until 35 years later. It now proves a most fertile field of research. � The object [here] is to produce as far as possible a complete repository of the titles of all works from the earliest times up to the present which deal with the extended conception of space, and to form a guide to the literature in an easily accessible form." 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.

Descripci�n de la librer�a

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.
