Description

Pensees Fragments et Lettres de Blaise Pascal, Publies Pour La Premiere Fois, Par M. Prosper Faugere, Andrieux, Editeurs, Paris, 1844, two volume set, full leather, 8vo. In good condition, nicely bound. Bookplate of famous poet John Veitch (more information below). Tome I spine has damage to top, missing segment. Boards corners are rubbed from typical shelf wear. Textblock is typically tanned and has minor foxing. Minor pencil marks throughout. Please see photos. Blaise Pascal was a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer and Catholic theologian. Our copy of his musings was once owned by John Veitch, Scottish poet, philosopher, historian & son of a Peninsular War veteran. Veitch was assistant lecturer successively to Sir William Hamilton and Alexander Campbell Fraser (1856-1860). Alexander Campbell Fraser was a Scottish theologian, professor and fellow of Royal Society of Edinburgh. He was presented to Queen Victoria during her diamond jubilee(1897) tour of Scotland. In 1860 Veitch was appointed to the chair of logic, metaphysics and rhetoric at the Univeristy of St. Andrews. In philosophy an intuitionist, he dismissed the idealist arguments with some abruptness, and thereby lost much of the influence gained by the force of his personal character. COLH1845AGJA

    The shipping was fast and the book was extremely well packaged. The book itself is exactly as pictured and although rare books are expected to be expensive, I was able to get a small discount that at least covered the shipping. I'm happy with my purchase, so I can say that it was a good value. I love to find old relics that kind of come full circle to find their home. Welcome home to this little gem in the form of a small book. I will take very good care of you! I highly recommend this seller.
