LEWIS, William. EXPERIMENTAL EXAMINATION OF A WHITE METALLIC SUBSTANCE SAID TO BE FOUND IN THE GOLD MINES OF THE SPANISH WEST-INDIES, AND THERE KNOWN BY THE APPELLATIONS OF PLATINA, PLATINA DI PINTO, JUAN BLANCA.
London: Royal Society, 1754. Paperback Near Fine
A Near Fine extract in modern green wrappers with white printed title label front cover from the Philosophical Transactions, Vol. LXXXVII, 1754, pp. 638-689. 8vo.
Perhaps no work better shoes Lewis's abilities as an experimentalist than his series of researches on platinum during the 1750's. Although others had attacked this intractable metal before him, using a number of standard metallurgical techniques. Lewis succeeded where others had failed through his careful systematic approach and the clever use of chemical analogy. Well-versed in the trends of his time, Lewis quickly turned to acids to get the metal into solution. Noting certain similarities between platinum and golf, Lewis defined the new metal in terms of an old one whose chemistry was relatively well understood. In his knowledge of solution chemistry and his ability to employ it imaginatively, Lewis showed himself to be in the forefront of eighteenth-century experimental chemistry. For this effort and for his already substantial contributions to pharmacy and materia medica Lewis was awarded the Copley Medal of the Royal Society in 1754. (DSB Vol. 8, p. 298)

HAMILTON, William. M. V. Cousin. Richard Whately. Samuel Hinds. George Bentham. George Cornewall Lewis. John Huyshe. Renn Dickson Hampden. WILLIAM HAMILTON REVIEWS TEN PUBLICATIONS ON LOGIC: 1) COURS DE PHILOSOPHIE. In Edinburgh Review, Vol. 50, 1830, pp. 194-221 2) REVIEWS OF TEN PUBLICATIONS ON LOGIC (See List Below) Edinburgh Review, Vol. 57, 1833, pp. 194-238.
Edinburgh: Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown, Green, and Longman, 1830. Hardcover Very Good
Offered are two Very Good entire volumes of the Edinburgh Review bound in quarter red leather and marbled boards with gilt lettering spine and marbled foreedges. Foxing, owner bookplate front paste-down, mild scuffs covers and spine, cover edge wear. 8vo. Unsigned long articles, but well attributed to Hamilton. Ten articles as follows: "Artis Logicae Rudimenta with Illustrative Observations on Each Section" (1828); "Elements of Logic" (1829); "Introduction to Logic, from Dr. Whately's Elements of Logic" (1827); "Outline of a New System of Logic, with a Critical Examination of Dr. Whately's 'Elements of Logic'" (1827); "An Examination of some Passages in Dr. Whately's Elements of Logic" (1829); "A Treatise on Logic on the Basis of Aldrich, with Illustrative Notes" (1833); "Questions on Aldrich's Logic, with Reference to the Most Popular Treatises" (1829); "Key to Questions on Aldrich's Logic" (1829); "Introduction to Logic" (1830); "Aristotle's Philosophy" (1832).
Hamilton's three most important articles for the Edinburgh Review were those on Cousin (1829), on perception (1830), and on logic (1833). In the first two, he revealed his unique philosophical position, a combination of the Kantian view that there is a limitation on all knowledge and the Scottish view that man has, in perception, a direct acquaintance with the external world. the first paper deals with the possibility of human knowledge of the absolute. In it Hamilton argued against Cousins view that man has immediate knowledge of the absolute and against Schelling's view that man can know the absolute by becoming identical with it. Hamilton tried to show that neither of these views is coherent and that there is something incoherent about the very notion of thought about the absolute. Hamilton's own position was close to Kant's, but he wanted to go further than Kant and say that the mind cannot use the absolute even as a regulative idea. The second article is a defense of Reid's view, that the direct object of perception is external, against the attacks of Brown. Hamilton had little trouble in showing that Brown neither understood Reid's position nor could offer arguments that disprove either Reid's position or the position mistakenly attributed to him by Brown. Hamilton did, however, agree with Brown's claim that Reid was mistaken when he identified the direct object of acts of memory with some previously existing external object. (DSB Vol. 6 pp. 81).
