Item description from seller

Contemporary calf, rebacked, gilt lettering on burgundy and gilt labels on spines. First appearing in 1689 (although dated 1690), "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding" by John Locke concerns the foundation of human knowledge and understanding. He describes the mind at birth as a blank slate filled later through experience. The essay was one of the principal sources of empiricism in modern philosophy, and influenced many enlightenment philosophers, such as David Hume and George Berkeley. Expertly rebacked, unmarked, tight, square and clean. A very attractive set. NEAR FINE. 12mo 7" - 7½" tall. liii, 271; xvi, 264; xiv, 308 pp.
