1875 Essay On Human Understanding by John Locke Antique British Literature Book

An Essay Concerning Human Understanding
By John Locke
Published by William Tegg & Co: London 1875 39th Edition

" Hood's Own; Or, Laughter from Year to Year (Second Series) is a substantial Victorian humour collection drawn from the writings of Thomas Hood, one of the nineteenth century's most distinctive comic poets, satirists, and social observers. Building on the success of the earlier series, this volume gathers a wide-ranging selection of Hood's prose sketches, poems, ballads, epigrams, and parodies, many originally published in periodicals such as The Comic Annual and Hood's Magazine. Hood's humour is characteristically layered—combining wordplay, puns, and absurdity with sharp social commentary on politics, fashion, urban life, and human foibles—often disguising serious moral insight beneath playful wit.

Published in 1861 by Edward Moxon shortly after Hood's death, the Second Series is introduced with a preface by his son, adding a personal dimension and contextualising the legacy of Hood's literary career. The contents are richly varied, ranging from comic verse and narrative ballads to satirical essays and whimsical reflections, and are enhanced by period illustrations that reflect the lively visual culture of mid-Victorian humour publishing. Together, these pieces demonstrate Hood's enduring influence on English comic writing, bridging Romantic-era sensibility and Victorian social satire.

As a complete and generously sized volume, Hood's Own stands as both a literary monument and an engaging reading experience, offering insight into nineteenth-century taste, language, and everyday concerns. It will particularly appeal to collectors of Victorian literature, admirers of classic English humour, scholars of satirical writing, and readers with an interest in the social and literary life of mid-nineteenth-century Britain."
