Item description from seller

Title printed in black and red. Woodcut diagrams in the text. First Edition. 8vo. [169 x 109 x 36 mm]. [19]ff, 549, [35] pp. Early 19th century binding of calf, the covers with a gilt border of double fillets and a leaf tool in the corners, and blind roll panel. The spine divided into six panels with gilt tooled raised bands, lettered in the second on a red goatskin label and directly at the foot, the others tooled in blind and gilt, the edges of the boards and turn-ins tooled with a gilt roll, marbled endleaves, gilt edges. (A little rubbed). (Wing M.2663.) A1 was a blank and has been replaced by a binder's blank. A name has been erased from the title, leaving a stain, and there are a few ink marks and spots, but it is a very good copy. Ink presentation inscription to Roger Clark dated 1896. In 'The Immortality of the Soul' Henry More (1614-1687), "Fellow of Christ's College in Cambridge", attempted to prove the existence of incorporeal spirits. He argued that the existence of spirits is logically connected to the existence of God. This work, and his 'Antidote Against Atheism', highlighted the philosophical aspect of his theology and placed him in opposition to materialists such as Thomas Hobbes.
