Leather. Zustand: Good. None (illustrator). The very scarce fourth edition of Thomas Browne's challenge to the superstitious errors of his age, incorporating the first edition of his study of death and burial, 'Hydriotaphia'. 'Pseudodoxia Epidemica', written by Thomas Browne, aimed to discredit various commonly held beliefs and superstitions through the use of reason and scientific inquiry. The book covers a wide range of topics, including natural history, medicine, and religion, and seeks to correct many of the misconceptions and errors that were prevalent during the seventeenth century.The fourth edition of this work.The popularity of 'Pseudodoxia' is confirmed by the fact that it went through no fewer than six editions. The first appeared in 1646 during the reign of Charles I and during the English Civil War; four during the interregnum, in 1650, 1658, and 1659; and the final edition in 1672, during the reign of Charles II, and when the scientific revolution was under way.The fourth edition of 'Pseudodoxia' incorporated the first edition of Browne's 'Hydrotaphia', a discourse on death and burial practices. It explores various burial customs throughout history, particularly those involving urns and sepulchers. Browne also contemplates the meaning of death and the afterlife, while offering insights into the philosophical and religious traditions that inform his thoughts on mortality.ESTC reference R207236Collated, with the register: a-b4, B-2X4, 2Y2, 2Z2, 3A2, 3B-3N4, 3O2, 3P-3Q4 [5], 5A-5I5, 5K2.

Collated, complete.With the bookplate of Miles Frederick Wood of Stroud to the front pastedown. Wood was a life long member of the Hicks Beach Masonic Lodge, and its secretary for 60 years.With a single advertisement leaf to the rear.A smart copy of this very scarce edition of Browne's popular work, the first to incorporate his discourse on death. In a full calf binding. Externally, smart. Losses of leather at back strip head and tail, with light rubbing to board perimeters. Front joint starting, but firmly held. Rear hinge a touch strained.

Browne, Thomas (1605-1682). Pseudodoxia epidemica: or, enquiries into very many received tenents, and commonly presumed truths. Folio. [20], 386pp. Lacking final blank. London: T.H. for Edward Dod, 1646. 272 x 178 mm. 19th century calf, with arms of Sir William Stirling-Maxwell (1818-78) on front and back covers, some wear at spine and edges. Margin of first leaf expertly repaired, tear in title also repaired, title a bit soiled, but a very good copy. Stirling-Maxwell's very large armorial bookplate inside front cover. First Edition, second state, with the imprint as above. In his second and largest work, often referred to as "Browne's Vulgar Errors," Browne drew upon his many years of reading, observation and experimental investigation to refute popular misconceptions in the fields of history, folklore, science, philology, natural history, medicine and embryology. Browne conducted numerous experiments in physics, comparative anatomy and biology, many of which were reported in Pseudodoxia epidemica; he also coined the term "electricity" (first printed here) to describe certain electromagnetic phenomena. "Except in matters of religious faith, [Browne] was unwilling to accept anything without carefully examining it in the light of such facts as he could gather. He has thus expressed himself regarding his own attitude: â In philosophy, where truth seems double-faced, there is no man more paradoxical than myself, but in divinity, I love to keep to the road'" (Keynes, p. 51). This copy displays the probable second state of the title, with the imprint reading "Printed by T.H. for Edward Dod, and are to be sold in Ivie Lane." The probable first state, which is scarcer, has the imprint reading "Printed by Tho. Harper for Edvvard Dod." Keynes, Thomas Browne, 73B. Norman 358. Wing B-5159. .

FIRST EDITION, imprimatur and final blank (Bbb6) present, title and text printed within ruled borders, woodcut ornaments, lightly toned with occasional unobtrusive marks, foreedge of first couple of quires a little browned and frayed, pp. [xviii], 386, [2], folio in 4's, contemporary full polished speckled sheep, triple blind rule, spine with raised bands and red label; rebacked preserving a portion of the original spine, old worming to the upper board; contemporary ownership inscription of John Francis Howell; a good copy. Browne's Pseudodoxia Epidemica was not so much an attempt to expose the fallacies of popular belief but a direct appeal to the learned men of his day for whom 'intellectual acquisition is but reminiscential evocation, and new impressions but the colouring of old stamps which stood pale in the soul before.' (Browne). 'The great merit of the "Vulgar Errors", as a contribution to contemporary thought, was that it took a long series of pragmatical assertions about phenomena, and showed that they broke down in the face of experience.' (Edmund Gosse, 'Thomas Browne'). While essentially a serious-minded treatise the work is not without humour or literary merit and retains its appeal for the modern reader due to '. the variety and oddity of his matter, the piquant contrast between most of the topics and the polysyllabic arguments woven about them, and the continual revelation, even in this factual and impersonal book, of the author's temperament.' (D. Bush, 'English Literature in the earlier Seventeenth Century'). There is an alternative 1646 imprint (73A) with the printer's name in full and with no address, which Keynes reports as 'less usual', though the rest of the title-page was printed from the same setting 'so the change was probably made while the book was in press'. (Keynes 73b; Wing B5159; ESTC R1093; Waller 19462).
