The monadologie of Leibnitz. An exposition and a criticism

[Plymouth: printed by Cove & Co., Caxton Ope, Old Town Street, 1887.]. 8vo, pp. 22; annotated in pencil throughout by an astute reader of Leibnitz; original printed wrappers; soiled; a good copy of what is apparently a very rare pamphlet. Charles Chapman (1828-1922), was a writer, professor of logic and mental science, and Principal of Western College in Plymouth, Devon (a now-defunct but then-prominent nonconformist educational institution of the West Country) and a distinguished nineteenth-century intellectual. Alan P. F. Sell in his book Philosophy, Dissent and Nonconformity, 1689-1920 (2004), notes that Chapman was a professional lecturer in philosophy while he was Principal of Western College in Plymouth. “Charles Chapman, who was appointed in 1875 and remained in post until he retired, aged 82, in 1910, taught logic and rhetoric in the first year of the five-year course, and mental science in the second” (p. 118). Not found in COPAC, OCLC or NUC. Item #52722
