‎First edition of Watt's standard text book of philosophical logic, which was used as the basic introduction to this field for more than 100 years at Oxford University, also occupying the place as the standard text on logic at Cambridge, Harvard and Yale throughout the 18th century and well into the 19th. Isaac Watts (1674-1748) is considered the father of English hymnody and is considered one of the most important hymn-writerS ever in Great Britain. But Watts was not only a hymn-writer, he was also a renowned logician and theologian, and today he is primarily famous within these fields as the author of his text book in logic, ""Logick..."" from 1725, which became hugely popular and served as a standard introduction to the field for more than 100 years. The work went through twenty editions, bearing witness to its great popularity.The work is arranged systematically and divided into four general parts: 1. Of Perceptions and Ideas, II. Of Judgment and Proposition, III. Of Reason and Syllogism, IV. Of Method. The work not merely served as a basic text book for beginners of logic, though, it also contains new ideas and new approaches to old problems. The influence of Watts' contemporary John Locke is especially noticeable with many references to his ""Essay on Humane Understanding"". But a thing that distinguishes Watts' Logic from others of the time, and perhaps the reason why it became so hugely popular, is his constant focus on the practicability of logic instead of the merely speculative approach to it, which again made his logic useful in connection with general problems of philosophy and science. Unusual for his time, Watts here distinguishes between the practical and the speculative part of logic and treats of both parts, anticipating later logicians such as Peirce. C.S. Peirce also described Watts' ""Logick"" as being ""far superior to the treatises now used in colleges, being the production of a man distinguished for good sense"" (see The Collected Papers of Charles Sanders Peirce, vol.II, 1933).‎

‎Les vérités sur l'utilisation de l'aviation militaire avant et pendant la guerre - Exemplaire du pilote René Fonck surnommé "L'as des as" de l'aviation française‎

‎Les frères Douladoure, Toulouse 1919, 14x22,5cm, broché.‎

‎Édition originale de cet ouvrage publié à Toulouse, berceau de l'aéronautique. Précieux et rare envoi autographe signé de Clément Ader à René Fonck, «?l'As des As?» de l'aviation française qui comptabilisa le plus de victoires dans le ciel au cours de la Première Guerre Mondiale?: «?à monsieur René Fonck membre du Comité de Direction de l'Aéro-Club. En souvenir du 2mars reconnaissant hommage.?» Cette précieuse dédicace fut vraisemblablement rédigée le 2 mars 1922 à l'occasion d'un banquet d'honneur organisé par l'Aéro-Club de France, au Palais d'Orsay, afin de célébrer la remise de la cravate de commandeur de la Légion d'honneur à Clément Ader, le premier Français qui dès 1890 effectua des tentatives de vols sur ses prototypes baptisés «?Éole?» et «?Zéphyr?». Cet ultime hommage marqua l'apogée de la carrière de ce génial inventeur dont l'armée française s'était pourtant détournée après la démonstration de décollage peu concluante de son « Aquilon» à Satory en 1897. Rare et agréable exemplaire enrichi d'un exceptionnel envoi autographe signé du père de l'aéronautique au héros militaire de l'aviation française et alliée René Fonck, surnommé «?l'As des As?» pendant la Première Guerre mondiale avec à son actif soixante-quinze victoires homologuées. - Photos sur www.Edition-originale.com - ‎
