Rilegato. Condition: mediocre. prima edizione. RARISSIMA PRIMA EDIZIONE ITALIANA DEL CELEBRE LIBRO PUBBLICATO IN INGHILTERRA DAL DOTTOR E.C. BREWER. LA SECONDA EDIZIONE VENNE PUBBLICATA SUCCESSIVAMENTE, BASANDOSI SULLA TERZA EDIZIONE FRANCESE TRADOTTA DALL'ABATE MOIGNO NEL 1858. LEGATURA COEVA IN TUTTA PERGAMENA, VOLUME IN 16°, pp.488. IL VOLUME CONSISTE IN 2152 DOMANDE ( E RELATIVE RISPOSTE ) RELATIVE AI "FENOMENI FISICI COMUNI DELLA VITA" . Ebenezer Cobham Brewer (2 maggio 1810 a Norwich - 6 marzo 1897 a Edwinstowe, Nottinghamshire), è stato un lessicografo britannico e autore, tra gli altri, di A Guide to the Scientific Knowledge of Things Familiar, Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable e The Reader's Handbook. E. Cobham Brewer era figlio di Elisabeth, nata Kitton, e John Sherren Brewer, un maestro di scuola di Norwich associato alla congregazione battista di Norwich. Suo padre gestiva una scuola lì in Calvert Street fino al 1824, quando aprì un'accademia a Eaton, nella periferia della città. E. Cobham Brewer frequentò la Trinity Hall di Cambridge, laureandosi in giurisprudenza nel 1836. Nel frattempo, fu ordinato sacerdote nel 1838. Tornato a Norwich per lavorare nella scuola del padre, Brewer compilò la sua prima opera importante, Guida alla conoscenza scientifica delle cose familiari, che apparve tra il 1838 e il 1841 e divenne immensamente popolare. Seguiva un formato semplice, simile a un catechismo, con domande e risposte, e si concentrava sulla spiegazione dei "fenomeni comuni della vita", come il motivo per cui la neve è bianca o le foglie sono verdi. Nelle parti successive, le domande di Brewer inseriscono le informazioni scientifiche in un contesto teologico, chiedendo ai lettori di considerare come gli esempi scientifici illustrino "la bontà e la saggezza di Dio". Le vendite dell'opera potrebbero aver finanziato i lunghi viaggi in Europa che intraprese in seguito. ***CON DIFETTI, MANCANO DUE PAGINE SUBITO PRIMA DELL'INDICE.
