Sobre este artículo
Hardcover. Small octavo. 139pp. plus half-title. Small stamp to rear fly-leaf, "F.S.L Dupl." Half-vellum with marbled boards and matching endpapers; some foxing. An uncut copy. The author, John Ferriar (1761-1815), was a Scottish physician and author whose researches into typhoid and other diseases and leadership of the Manchester Infirmary made their mark in British medical history. His work, "An Essay towards a Theory of Apparitions" is a sometimes humorous examination of ghosts, the manifestations of witchcraft, etc. in which he argues that there is a psycho-physiological rather than a supernatural basis to such phenomena. He was, as such, one of the first to argue it so comprehensively and cohesively. Some moderate wear to the marbled paper, otherwise a clean, complete very good copy housed in a blue clamshell box with a black Morocco label.
