With a preliminary imprimatur leaf, errata page, Contents pages and a leaf of advertisement at the back of the book. 20th century brown half calf binding and marbled boards, gilt title on spine and catalogue number handwritten in white; pages trimmed and edges tinted dark maroon. Binding tight, pages supple and evenly toned. Provenance: Herbert Maynard Smith (1869-1949) and J. Outram Smith (1871-1954), with their library stamp to the front free endpaper. The Smiths, both Anglican clergymen, amassed a substantial collection of theology, history, philosophy, and literature. [ESTC 006079986]. In his argument in favor of the Royal Society, the recently elected Glanvill says that the Society has done more to advance useful knowledge in a few years ''than all the Philosophers of the Notional way, since Aristotle opened his shop in Greece''. Dedicated to the Bishop of Bathe and Wells, and with the Preface addressed "To the Reverend Clergy of the Dioces of B. and W", this small book by Joseph Glanvill (1636 - 1680) comprises 18 chapters and sets out ideas about improvements in far ranging areas of learning, from arithmetic and geometry, to astronomy, optics and geography, from natural history and printing, to philosophy, religion, and communications.…
