Discourse Wit by Abercromby David (9 results)

Condition: New.

[xii], 236, [2]pp., 12mo. With a leaf of publisher s advertisements at end; a couple of minor spots. Nineteenth century calf, spine gilt; spine worn, but fairly firm on the sewing cords. First edition. The Dictionary of National Biography remarks that this work has somehow fallen out of sight, but none the less is it a more than ordinarily noticeable book. It antedates the (so-called) `Scottish School of Philosophy a century nearly; for in it Dr. Thomas Reid s philosophy of common sense - since glorified by Sir William Hamilton - is distinctly taught. More recent commentators have noted that Abercromby s scepticism frequently contradicts that of what became Thomas Reid s school of common sense, with some suggesting Abercromby more closely anticipates David Hume. Wing, Short-Title Catalogue, 1641-1700, A81.
