Robert Burton's seventeenth-century classic was first published in 1621. The work overwent considerable expansions and revisions during the author's lifetime, but this edition is taken from its final form. The work is on its surface a quasi-medical text dealing with "melancholia" (depression), but overall it is an encyclopedic, often comic approach to life, philosophy and literature. Burton wrote it under the pseudonym Democritus Junior as a reference to the Ancient Greek "laughing philosopher" Democritus. A review of a recent reprint described the work as "Made out of all the books that existed in a 17th-century library, it was compiled in order to explain and account for all human emotion and thought." This is a handsomely bound 1838 edition in excellent condition.…
