Sobre este artículo
London: A. Bosvile 3rd edition corrected, 1700. Hardcover. Good. 8vo contemporary dark tan sprinkled leather with gilt red spine title label gilt dentelles [edges worn/hinges cracked but covers held by all cords] Titlepage +A2-8 [=Preface + Contents +Addenda/Advert.] +240pp The first six leaves with marginal worming affecting only the running headline of the preface and repaired with reversible transparent PAPER-tape.The last gathering with worm-holes to fore-edge margin have similar worming but have not been repaired as they are less obtrusive. There is some foxing or browning throughout with approx eight charming pointer-hands in the margins and about six marginal notes all by one owner in a near contemporary script. An interesting and rather critical enquiry into the Languages, philosophy,Astronomy, History, Geography, Law, Medicine, oriental teachings etc The author's conclusion is that learning is in great part purely imaginary knowledge and mankind's ignorance is great because all learning is imperfect only Divine truths through Revelation are certain.
