The solution is this number which covers the years 2004 to 2007. With this, we bring ourselves up to date and that is where we aim to stay. Of course, we cannot do that without the support of scholars in the field and a regular flow of submissions, but we are pleased to say that the prospects for the next few years are good and we have planned for 2009 a special issue devoted to Isaac Newton and his legacy to be edited by Stephen Snobelen. The papers will examine the historical, philosophical, theological and literary aspects of Newton and his relation to eighteenth-century thought and the enlightenment. Over the years, too, we have also lost valuable members of the editorial advisory board, which came to be in need of strengthening. The first step we took was to appoint Anthony Page of the University of Tasmania as Reviews Editor. He has brought new energy to the reviews section as can already be seen in this number. Then, we invited a number of distinguished scholars to join our editorial advisory board, and as a result are pleased to welcome the following new members to the board. They are: Michael T Davis, Faculty of Arts Director of Studies, University of Tasmania Harry T Dickinson, Professor Emeritus, University of Edinburgh Grayson Ditchfield, Professor of History, University of Kent at Canterbury Knud Haakonssen, Professor of Intellectual History, University of Sussex Emma Vincent Macleod, Lecturer in History, University of Stirling Stephen Snobelen, Assistant Professor, History of Science and Technology Programme, University of King’s College. We very much look forward to receiving their advice and assistance. MHF JD ‘ASPERS’D AND BLACKEN’D’: PIERRE COSTE’S CRITIQUE OF LOCKE’S MORAL THEORY James Dybikowski When the Huguenot journalist and editor, Pierre Des Maizeaux (1672/3-1745), published A Collection of several pieces of Mr. John Locke in 1720, he included a translated elegy of Locke originally published in French shortly after Locke’s death by his Huguenot translator, Pierre Coste (1668-1747). Des Maizeaux prefaced the translated version with an anonymous letter purportedly written on behalf of the friends of Locke.1 With reason, these friends have been taken to be Des Maizeaux himself and Anthony Collins whose assistance made the collection possible.2 According to the letter, the elegy was intended to be a ‘proper Vindication’ of Locke against its author who, since writing it, ‘in several Writings, and in his common Conversation throughout France, Holland, and England has aspers’d and blacken’d the Memory of Mr. Locke’. In her book Impolite learning, Anne Goldgar aptly observes: ‘This letter is mysterious.’3 Indeed, it is. It refers to conversations and offers no details about how Locke’s memory had been blackened. It puzzled contemporaries as it has more recent scholars.4 Is there any foundation for its condemnation of Coste, 1 A Collection of several pieces of Mr. John Locke (London, 1720), i- iii. 2 In the second edition, printed in 1739, Des Maizeaux acknowledges his debt to Collins. The collection is there said to be ‘Publish'd by Mr. Des Maizeaux, under the Direction of ANTHONY COLLINS Esq.’ See Anne Goldgar, Impolite learning: conduct and community in the Republic of Letters, 1680-1750 (New Haven, 1995), 124, for a discussion of the evidence for attributing responsibility for the anonymous letter to Collins, Des Maizeaux or both. 3 Goldgar, Impolite learning, 124. 4 Contemporaries who expressed skepticism that the attack on Coste could be justified included the reviewer for Bibliothèque angloise, 7 (1720), 285-343. For more recent expressions of puzzlement, see Pierre Coste’s critique of Locke’s moral theory whatever one might think of the propriety of the way in which it is made? The general verdict has been that there is no evidence to warrant this attack. Coste himself maintained a discreet silence, and the friends of Locke never felt compelled to explain themselves. Some have argued that there is no evidence even to support the view that Coste, at this stage, intended to criticize Locke. Goldgar, on the other hand, concedes that Coste criticizes him in notes to his 1715 edition of Le Christianisme raisonnable.5 She argues, however, that the intent of the notes was not to refute Locke, but merely to advance the discussion of issues in his text.6 She adds that the friends of Locke demonstrated themselves unable to distinguish legitimate criticism from personal attack. For Goldgar, the real basis for their charge against Coste is the notion that ‘editions of famous authors’ works which included corrections, textual alterations, and additions, were apparently an attempt to build a reputation, a connection with, and even a triumph over, the late philosophers. Not only were they critical, but they were not modest and humble in their criticism.’7 In short, Coste exceeded his station in daring to assert ‘his intellectual independence’.8 My aim is to offer a different solution by adding to the relevant evidence and using it to reinterpret the evidence Goldgar cites. The key to the solution is Coste’s friendship with the Earl of Margaret Rumbold, Traducteur Huguenot: Pierre Coste (New York, 1991), 19-23; Charles Bastide, ‘Pierre Coste d’après quelques lettres inédites’, Bulletin de la Société de l'Histoire du Protestantisme Français 57 (1907), 529-30. La Motte wrote to Des Maizeaux that he had not encountered anyone who approved of the letter’s publication (British Library (BL), Add. Ms. 4286/248, La Motte to Des Maizeaux, 7 September 1723 n.s. 5 Le Christianisme raisonnable, tel qu’il nous est representé dans l’Ecriture Sainte, Traduit de l’Anglois de Mr. Locke. Seconde edition, revue, corrigée; & augmentée d'une Dissertation où l'on établit le vrai & l'unique moyen de réunir tous les Chrétiens malgré la difference de leurs sentimens. On a joint à cette edition la Religion des dames (2nd. edn., 2 vols, Amsterdam, 1715). The notes are at I: 320-22 and 326-27. 6 Goldgar, Impolite learning, 128, 143. 7 Goldgar, Impolite learning, 169. 8 Goldgar, Impolite learning, 124. 2 James Dybikowski Shaftesbury. From Shaftesbury and his philosophy, Coste acquired a foundation for a critique of Locke’s moral theory he had not previously possessed. Under Shaftesbury’s tutelage, he came to believe that Locke’s philosophy of mind, his rejection of innate ideas in particular, robbed him of any objective basis for morals and made him a dangerous ally of Hobbes. He also came to believe that Locke’s belief in the need for a future state of rewards and punishments in order to motivate moral conduct not only undermined the conditions required for acting morally, but also constituted a scandalous satire on it. Coste’s intellectual debt to Shaftesbury, however, cannot be properly understood, except in light of the distant, sometimes badgering, even hostile personal relation between him and Locke, which contrasts markedly with the supportive friendship he enjoyed with Shaftesbury, especially before the latter’s departure to Italy in 1711. His correspondence with Shaftesbury reveals an animus against Locke that provided the friends of Locke with a foundation for their charge. Coste’s friendship with Charles de La Motte Pierre Coste, now best known for his translations of Locke, was born in the south of France and sent to Geneva in 1684, shortly before the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, to be educated for the Protestant ministry.

    Leibniz, Bayle and the Controversy on Sudden Change Markku Roinila (In: Giovanni Scarafile & Leah Gruenpeter Gold (ed.), Paradoxes of Conflicts, Springer 2016) Leibniz’s metaphysical views were not known to most of his correspondents, let alone to the larger public, until 1695 when he published an article in Journal des savants, titled in English “A New System of the Nature and Communication of Substances, and of the Union of the Soul and Body” (henceforth New System).1 The article raised quite a stir. Perhaps the most interesting and cunning critique of Leibniz’s views was provided by a French refugee in Rotterdam, Pierre Bayle (1647−1706) who is most famous for his Dictionnaire Historique et Critique (1697). The fascinating controversy on Leibniz’s idea of pre-established harmony and a number of other topics lasted for five years and ended only when Bayle died. In this paper I will give an overview of the communication, discuss in detail a central topic concerning spontaneity or a sudden change in the soul, and compare the views presented in the communication to Leibniz’s reflections in his partly concurrent New Essays on Human Understanding (1704) (henceforth NE). I will also reflect on whether the controversy could have ended in agreement if it would have continued longer. The New System Let us begin with the article that started the controversy, the New System. The article starts with Leibniz’s objection to the Cartesian doctrine of extension as a basic way of explaining motion. Instead, one should adopt a doctrine of force which belongs to the sphere of metaphysics (GP IV 478).

  • Benjamin Franklin on Religion
    Benjamin Franklin on Religion To Joseph Huey, 6 June 1753 (L 4:504-6): For my own part, when I am employed in serving others, I do not look upon myself as conferring favours, but as paying debts. In my travels and since my settlement I have received much kindness from men, to whom I shall never have any opportunity of making the least direct return. And numberless mercies from God, who is infinitely above being benefited by our services. These kindnesses from men I can therefore only return on their fellow-men; and I can only show my gratitude for those mercies from God, by a readiness to help his other children and my brethren. For I do not think that thanks, and compliments, though repeated weekly, can discharge our real obligations to each other, and much less those to our Creator… The faith you mention has doubtless its use in the world; I do not desire to see it diminished, nor would I endeavour to lessen it in any man. But I wish it were more productive of good works than I have generally seen it: I mean real good works, works of kindness, charity, mercy, and publick spirit; not holiday-keeping, sermon-reading or hearing, performing church ceremonies, or making long prayers, filled with flatteries or compliments, despised even by wise men, and much less capable of pleasing the deity. The worship of God is a duty, the hearing and reading of sermons may be useful; but if men rest in hearing and praying, as too many do, it is as if a tree should value itself on being watered and putting forth leaves, though it never produced any fruit.

  • By Iain Mccalman
    THE ANNUAL HISTORY LECTURE HISTORY COUNCIL OF NEW SOUTH WALES Historical Re-enactments. Should we take them seriously? By Iain Mccalman Sydney, 2007 I’ve had the fifteen minutes of fame that Andy Warhol promised all moderns: it was in August 2001 aboard a replica of Captain James Cook’s converted coal barque, the Endeavour, while sailing in what he called ‘the insane labyrinth’ of the Great Barrier Reef. I was engaged in a BBC Television and Discovery Channel re-enactment of Cook’s voyage of exploration up the east coast of Australia in 1770.i My high point as a TV historian consisted of a rant at the ship’s First Officer for preventing us from drying our clothes on the rigging. It’s appeared on all three versions of the subsequent TV series called The Ship, even though they were edited in very different forms for British, American and Australian audiences. My hissy-fit was exactly the sort of material our hairy-chested director hoped to generate when he outlined his vision of a new genre of ‘extreme history’ that we would pioneer. New or not, the formula was simple: assorted representatives of the twenty-first century pit themselves against some of the extreme physical and mental challenges of the past in order to entertain mass audiences. The latter are moved to laughter, awe or pity at our modern-day sufferings and failures. Some participants are ejected or fall by the wayside, the remainder join hands at the end to trill about how tough but rewarding it was to live in the past.

From his student days he had been an avid book collector. He formed relationships with antiquarian booksellers throughout the north of England. His interests were eclectic but focused on English literature of the 17th and 18th centuries. Several of my father’s books have survived in the present collection. During childhood I paid little attention to his books but in later years I too became a collector. During the war I was evacuated to the Lake District and my school in Keswick incorporated Greta Hall, where Coleridge lived with Robert Southey and his family. So from an early age the Lake Poets were a significant part of my life and a focus of my book collecting.

    A Cameo of Captain Thomas Rowley 2 INTRODUCTION 0.01 The recent gift to my wife of a cameo brooch, said to have been a present from Captain Thomas Rowley to his bride, led to my making enquiries about my wife's great great great grandfather. Many of the stories which accompanied the gift were subsequently found to have little foundation but my enquiries produced much information which may prove of sufficient interest to others to justify my writing this tale of a man who played no small part in the establishment of the Colony of New South Wales. 0.02 In consequence, this Cameo of CAPTAIN THOMAS ROWLEY ( ? - 1806) is dedicated to the memory of his son THOMAS ROWLEY (1794 - 1862) his grandson HORATIO NELSON ROWLEY (1831 – 1887) his great grand-daughter ELIZA SMITH (nee ROWLEY) (1868 - 1921) his great great grandson LESLIE JOHN SMITH (1891 - 1944) and is written for the information of his great great great grand-daughter, my wife NANCY RAMAGE (nee SMITH) his great great great great grandchildren, our children RAYMOND JOHN ALASTAIR RAMAGE JUDITH ANNE RAMAGE DAVID ANDREW RAMAGE and his great great great great great grand-daughters, our grand-daughters ALICIA JANE RAMAGE LAUREN ELIZABETH RAMAGE 0.03 Preface to Second Edition: I have taken advantage of a request for reprinting to correct one or two errors of fact to which my attention has been drawn by some of the many interested descendants who have contacted me following the issue of the first edition.
