About this Item

SEE PHOTOS - Leather bound book dated 1665, has a few library markings and penciled notations. The covers show wear with some splitting at the spine. This is a combination of two essays resulting in a two part book, 408 and 136 pages.The pages are tanned with some more tanning at edges. There is a split between pages 224 and 225, still holding! As a result, the buyer will need to be careful in handling this book. This is a discussion about the belief in place since antiquity that prodigies?monstrous births human and animal?were signs from God. Instead, Spencer argued that they were simply natural phenomena resulting from errors in the processes of conception and gestation.
