Including A faithful Detail of his Devices and Depredations on Society for a Period of Fifty-Five Years.
London: Printed for G. Kearsley, 1786. First edition, 12mo (160 x 95 mm), xxii, [2, blank], 348pp., with half-title, folding engraved frontispiece unfortunately lacking part, folding facsimile of Prince's handwriting - both his usual and in his disguised (also lacking lower left corner), without free-endpapers, contemporary calf, rubbed, although lacking part of frontispiece and facsimile plate, this is a rare book and the price reflects its imperfections. Charles Prince (1723-1786) was a master of disguise, a swindler and a forger. The folding frontispiece illustrates 3 of his disguises and also reveals the reason for his nickname "Old Patch". Charles Prince, born in London, began his illustrious career by robbing his Father, then perpetuating a vast number of swindlers. He advertised for investors in a brewery and promptly defrauded his investor and even had the audacity to try an entice this same investor in another scheme. Another time he portrayed himself as a Methodist preacher and then moved on the Bank of England: the most dangerous bank-note-forger the Bank of England ever had to deal with - he made his own papers, engraved his own plates, made his own ink and printed his own notes. He was particularly adept at illusion, altering his appearance, and enticing others to pass forged bills. When his unsuspecting employee Samuel was imprisoned, Price melted into the ever obscure shadows that he always seemed to have waiting. Price finally was apprehended and met his unfortunate end. He swindled the Bank for the last time, was prosecuted, and knowing there was no way of escaping execution for his crimes, he took his own life. He was found one evening hanging against the post of the door of his apartments, in Tothill Fields Bridwell. It has been written that the success of Mr. Charles Price has never been surpassed, certainly he was one of the greatest forgers who ever lived.

Time's Arrow and Archimedes' Point
Oxford University Press, 1996. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 306. Why is the future so different from the past? Why does the past affect the future and not the other way around? What does quantum mechanics really tell us about the world? In this important and accessible book, Huw Price throws fascinating new light on some of the great mysteries of modern physics, and connects them in a wholly original way. Price begins with the mystery of the arrow of time. Why, for example, does disorder always increase, as required by the second law of thermodynamics? Price shows that, for over a century, most physicists have thought about these problems the wrong way. Misled by the human perspective from within time, which distorts and exaggerates the differences between past and future, they have fallen victim to what Price calls the "double standard fallacy" proposed explanations of the difference between the past and the future turn out to rely on a difference which has been slipped in at the beginning, when the physicists themselves treat the past and future in different ways. To avoid this fallacy, Price argues, we need to overcome our natural tendency to think about the past and the future differently. We need to imagine a point outside time - an Archimedean "view from nowhen" - from which to observe time in an unbiased way. Offering a lively criticism of many major modern physicists, including Richard Feynman and Stephen Hawking, Price shows that this fallacy remains common in physics today - for example, when contemporary cosmologists theorize about the eventual fate of the universe. The "big bang" theory normally assumes that the beginning and end of the universe will be very different. But if we are to avoid the double standard fallacy, we need to consider time symmetrically, and take seriously the possibility that the arrow of time may reverse when the universe recollapses into a "big crunch." Price then turns to the greatest mystery of modern physics, the meaning of quantum theory. He argues that in missing the Archimedean viewpoint, modern physics has missed a radical and attractive solution to many of the apparent paradoxes of quantum physics. Many consequences of quantum theory appear counterintuitive, such as Schrodinger's Cat, whose condition seems undetermined until observed, and Bell's Theorem, which suggests a spooky "nonlocality," where events happening simultaneously in different places seem to affect each other directly. Price shows that these paradoxes can be avoided by allowing that at the quantum level the future does, indeed, affect the past. This demystifies nonlocality, and supports Einstein's unpopular intuition that quantum theory describes an objective world, existing independently of human observers: the Cat is alive or dead, even when nobody looks. So interpreted, Price argues, quantum mechanics is simply the kind of theory we ought to have expected in microphysics - from the symmetric standpoint. Time's Arrow and Archimedes' Point presents an innovative and controversial view of time and contemporary physics. In this exciting book, Price urges physicists, philosophers, and anyone who has ever pondered the mysteries of time to look at the world from the fresh perspective of Archimedes' Point and gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, the universe around us, and our own place in time.
