173,95 kr. Alton Locke, By Charles Kingsley (complete set volume 1, and 2), A NOVEL illustrated.With a prefatory memioir by Thomas Hughes(20 October 1822 - 22 March 1896) was an English lawyer, judge, politician and author. Alton Locke is an 1850 novel, by Charles Kingsley, written in sympathy with the Chartist movement, in which Carlyle is introduced as one of the personages.In this novel, Kingsley set out to expose the social injustice suffered by workers in the clothing trade and the trials and tribulations of agricultural labourers. It also gives an insight into the Chartist campaign with which Kingsley was involved in the 1840s.Alton Locke is the story of a young tailor-boy who has instincts and aspirations beyond the normal expectations of his working-class background. He is intensely patriotic and has ambitions to be a poet. In the course of the narrative, Alton Locke loves and struggles in vain.Physically, he is a weak man, but is able to encompass all the best emotions, along with vain longings, wild hopes, and a righteous indignation at the plight of his contemporaries. He joins the Chartist movement because he can find no better vehicle by which to improve the lot of the working class, experiencing a sense of devastation at its apparent failure. Utterly broken in spirit, Alton Locke sails for America to seek a new life there; however, he barely reaches the shore of the New World before he dies.... Charles Kingsley (12 June 1819 - 23 January 1875) was a broad church priest of the Church of England, a university professor, social reformer, historian and novelist. He is particularly associated with Christian socialism, the working men's college, and forming labour cooperatives that failed but led to the working reforms of the progressive era. He was a friend and correspondent with Charles Darwin. Thomas Hughes QC (20 October 1822 - 22 March 1896) was an English lawyer, judge, politician and author. He is most famous for his novel Tom Brown's School Days (1857), a semi-autobiographical work set at Rugby School, which Hughes had attended. It had a lesser-known sequel, Tom Brown at Oxford (1861).

202,95 kr. Adaptation: Or Mutual Fitness Between The Order Of Things And Man is a book written by Thomas Hughes and first published in 1862. The book explores the concept of adaptation and how it relates to the relationship between humans and the natural world. Hughes argues that humans and the natural world are not separate entities, but rather a part of a larger system that is constantly adapting and evolving.The book is divided into four parts, each of which explores a different aspect of adaptation. The first part examines the concept of adaptation itself, and how it relates to the natural world. The second part looks at the adaptation of plants and animals, and how they have evolved over time to better fit their environment. The third part explores the adaptation of humans, both physically and culturally, and how we have adapted to different environments and ways of life throughout history. The final part of the book looks at the future of adaptation, and how humans can continue to adapt and evolve in the face of environmental challenges.Throughout the book, Hughes draws on a wide range of scientific and philosophical sources to support his arguments. He also includes numerous examples from the natural world, as well as from human history, to illustrate his points.Overall, Adaptation: Or Mutual Fitness Between The Order Of Things And Man is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between humans and the natural world, and the importance of adaptation in ensuring our survival and well-being.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

364,95 kr. The Human Will: Its Functions And Freedom is a philosophical treatise written by Thomas Hughes and published in 1867. The book explores the nature of the human will and its relationship to freedom. Hughes argues that the will is a complex and multifaceted aspect of human consciousness, with both conscious and unconscious components.The book begins by examining the various theories of the will that have been proposed throughout history, from the ancient Greeks to the modern era. Hughes then goes on to explore the relationship between the will and other aspects of human consciousness, such as reason, emotion, and desire.One of the key themes of the book is the concept of freedom. Hughes argues that the will is not only capable of making choices, but that it also has the power to act freely. He explores the various factors that can influence the will, such as habit, education, and social conditioning, and argues that these factors can either enhance or limit our freedom.Throughout the book, Hughes draws on a wide range of philosophical and scientific sources to support his arguments. He also includes numerous examples and anecdotes to illustrate his points and make his ideas more accessible to the reader.Overall, The Human Will: Its Functions And Freedom is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of one of the most fundamental aspects of human consciousness.

Early life Hughes was the second son of John Hughes, editor of the Boscobel Tracts (1830) and was born in Uffington, Berkshire (now Oxfordshire). He had six brothers, and one sister, Jane Senior who later became Britain's first female civil servant. At the age of eight he was sent to Twyford School, a preparatory public school near Winchester, where he remained until the age of eleven. In February 1834 he went to Rugby School, which was then under the celebrated Thomas Arnold, a contemporary of his father at Oriel College, Oxford. Hughes excelled at sports rather than in scholarship, and his school career culminated in a cricket match at Lord's Cricket Ground. In 1842 he went on to Oriel College, and graduated B.A. in 1845. At Oxford, he played cricket for the university team in the annual University Match against Cambridge University, also at Lord's, and a match that is still now regarded as first-class cricket.

138,95 kr. An incident illustrative of a poltical canvass among soldiers was one of the occurrences that soon attracted my attention An election for Confederate congressman for the District of Virginia, which now comprises a part of the State of West Virginia was under way; the candidates were Charles W. Russell formerly of Wheeling and a Dr. Kidwell of, I believe, Clarksburg. The district was entirely in the Union lines and hence the only voters were Confederate soldiers and refugees. Dr. Kidwell had headquarters at the Ballard House in a room opening immediately on the ladies' entrance on Franklin Street at the corner of Thirteenth and it was an occasion to make one cheerful to see the Doctor who was tall and slender smilingly dispense good cheer from numerous decanters to the many refugees and a few soldiers who sought him. Mr. Russell also boarded at the same hotel, but he evidently felt pretty secure, as he made no effort to entertain and his room was on the upper floor. This canvass was in marked contrast with another that went on near the same time at the Powhatan. An election for the State Legislature was near and the candidates from the legislative districts in what is now West Virginia met the same conditions, namely, their territory was exclusively in the Union lines and the voters were refugees and soldiers. Several of the candidates boarded at the Powhatan and the meetings in the Congressional candidates room that were more formal by reasons of the callers being from divers sections, now in the case of the Legislative candidates became more sociable and nightly refugees and soldiers from the same local section assembled and intensely enjoyed the gossip that went on in a dense cloud of smoke from tobacco pipes.

- Free Thoughts On Berkeley, Idealism, And Metaphysics (1865)
263,95 kr. ""The Ideal Theory of Berkeley and the Real World: Free Thoughts on Berkeley, Idealism, and Metaphysics"" is a philosophical work written by Thomas Hughes in 1865. The book explores the ideas of the Irish philosopher George Berkeley, who believed that the world we perceive is nothing more than a collection of ideas in the mind of God. Hughes argues that Berkeley's idealism is flawed because it does not account for the existence of a real world outside of our perceptions. He suggests that there must be some objective reality that exists independently of our minds, and that our perceptions of this reality are limited by our senses. The book delves into the nature of reality, perception, and the relationship between the mind and the world. It offers an insightful critique of Berkeley's idealism and provides a thought-provoking exploration of metaphysical concepts. Overall, ""The Ideal Theory of Berkeley and the Real World"" is a fascinating and engaging work that will appeal to anyone interested in philosophy, metaphysics, and the nature of reality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
