About this Item

xi+327+4 (bound in 11.5 x 19 cms. Swedenborg list)+4 (Swedenborg list, apparently no overlap with preceding and inc. French, Welch (sic) and Latin editions plus 'Dr Tafel's Editions' ), both lists by Newbery. Internally clean, tight & unmarked, prev.owner's small gilt label top front pastedown, top textblock edge remains a little dusty despite cleaning. Blind-stamped blacck cloth covers clean bar a small orange paint fleck lower front which resists removal (see image), remarkably unworn, hard to know whether it is all slightly faded or not, blind-stamped borders and decorative central panel. Scarce in such good condition. Basically a survey of physiological knowledge of male and female 'generative organs' with relatively little explicit expoitation of author's mystical doctrines, although hints of this in functional accounts of how physiology operates.
