[RUSSELL, Bertrand]. History of Western Philosophy, and its Connection with Political and Social Circumstances from the Earliest Times to the Present Day. London: George Allen and Unwin Ltd., 1946.

First edition, first impression. Cloth-bound; hardcover with dust jacket; thick octavo (22.5cm x 15cm x 5cm); pp. 916. English text. Bound in publisher's original grey cloth; supplied in the original dust jacket with '21s net' on inside front flap and printed on re-used war-time paper with wartime map on verso. Condition: VERY GOOD. Binding tight and secure. Covers and contents largely very well-preserved. Dust jacket with slight edge wear and minor losses at spine ends. Previous owner name and date neatly inked to front endpaper. An excellent copy.

Notes: Russell's History of Western Philosophy stands independently as a significant work in the discipline. The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy notes that 'His History is still widely read and did much to initiate twentieth-century research on a wide range of historical figures from the presocratics to Leibniz', and still provides one of the most popular systematic introductions to western thought. This first edition holds interest as a historical artefact in itself, its dust jacket printed on part of a military map of the Adriatic Sea as a result of wartime paper rationing.
