The James Willard Oliver David Hume Collection<\/h3>\n

\"ImageThis collection includes both early editions of works by the Scottish philosopher David Hume (1711-1776) and extensive holdings of scholarship about his life and thought.<\/p>\n

\n

The collection was formed by Prof. James Willard Oliver (1912-2001).\u00a0 Prof. Oliver (Ph.D. Harvard 1949) taught at the University of Florida and at the University of Southern California before moving to the University of South Carolina in 1964, as Professor and first Head of the new Department of Philosophy. Through his generosity, the Hume collection was transferred to the University in 1997.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Rodger L. Tarr Collection of Thomas Carlyle<\/h3>\n

\"ImageThomas Carlyle (1795-1881), the Scottish-born social critic and historian, was one of the formative influences on nineteenth-century intellectual life on both sides of the Atlantic. His published writings range from mathematics, German literature, and politics to biography, theology, literary criticism, and history.<\/p>\n

Prof. Rodger L. Tarr, a South Carolina alumnus who prepared the standard Pittsburgh bibliography of Carlyle’s writings (1989), built up this superb collection over a twenty-year period. It comprises approximately 1500 items, including first editions and reprintings in original condition of Carlyle’s works from his translation of Legendre’s\u00a0Elements of Geometry<\/em>\u00a0(Edinburgh, 1824) onwards. The collection also has works by and about Jane Welsh Carlyle, and visual materials and secondary publications on both the Carlyles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
