About this Item

Hardcover. 8" X 5 1/2". xxxvi, 515pp. Rubbing, toning, and bumps to covers, corners, and edges of brown cloth over boards. Lean to spine. Age-toning to edges of text block and to pages throughout. Very occasional inked underlining and notation to pages. Notation does not obscure text. Dog-earring to several pages. Hinges are cracked with connected mesh visible. However, binding remains sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: Written in the late 19th century by an influential French theologian, this book delves into the philosophical and theological underpinnings of human knowledge and morality. Drawing on a wide range of sources, Pressens offers a compelling argument for the existence of a divine creator and the importance of moral duty in human life.(Publisher).

Store Description

Underground Books, ABAA is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop as well as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia. Sister store Hills & Hamlets Bookshop is located in the nearby planned eco-community of Serenbe. Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women?s Initiative Mentorship Program. We have two open bookshops that carry new, used, bargain, rare, and antiquarian books, as well as our online office, impossible without our incredible team of booksellers, including two fellow CABS graduates, Miranda McMillan and Suzanne Carnes. Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.
