BELSHAM (THOMAS): Elements of the Philosophy of The Mind, and of Moral Philosophy. To which is prefixed A Compendium of Logic.
London: Printed for J. Johnson...by Taylor and Wilks..., 1801. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. [ii], xciii [xciv blank, xcv drop-title, xcvi blank], 447 [448 adverts], original boards, uncut, paper label on spine; approximately 4 mms. of top of spine missing, covers a little soiled, but generally a good copy. Thomas Belsham (1750 - 1829) was the son of the dissenting minister James Belsham and brother of William Belsham. This was his first important publication, but it is more of a summary of liberal theological thought and empirical theology than an innovative system of philosophy. He accepts and uses the ideas of Priestley and Hartley, and he discusses many of the philosophical ideas of various 18th century philosophers. Perhaps he derived his title from the first volume of Dugald Stewart's Elements of the Philosophy of the Human Mind (1792), leaving out "human" as pleonastic.
