About This Item
London: printed by R. & H. Fitzhardinge, 1889. Small 8vo, pp. 75, [1]; wrappers perished; small ink annotation at the top of the title page; all else very good. Presumably rather rare: no copy in OCLC and only one copy in COPAC, at the National Trust at Erddig, which COPAC states is "covered in black tape." Auguste Joseph Alphonse Gratry (1805-1872), philosopher, logician, theologian, writer, and a member of the Académie française assumed Voltaire's chair in the Académie Française in 1867 and in the latter portion of his life, he became one of the most respected French philosophers and theologians of the century. Julian Marias in his History of Philosophy (1966) says that "Gratry's most important works are La connaissance de l'âme (The Knowledge of the Soul), Logique, La Morale et la loi de l'histoire (Morality and the Law of History) and especially La connaissance de Dieu (The Knowledge of God), the best philosophical book about God written in a century" (p. 368). OCLC finds 3 books published by R. & H. Fitzhardinge, all, interestingly enough, in 1889, but not this.
