Octavo. [16], 247, [1] pp. Fourth edition, corrected. Removed from nonce volume; each of the five letters has a separate title page. Remains from early binding on the spine; early tidelines to the inner and top margin of many leaves; occasional spotting/toning. This is the fourth edition following the first publication in 1672. It is a spirited satire on Hobbes's Humane Nature and one that John Bowle calls "the most entertaining . . . . and one of the most effective of all the [17th century] attacks on Hobbes" (Hobbes and his Critics. London: 1969. p. 134). Uncommon. ESTC R31400. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 7787
