DICTIONARIUM SACRUM seu religiosum. A dictionary of all religions, ancient and modern!
London, 1704. First edition, 8vo, 8 preliminary leaves and unpaginated lexicon in double column; recent calf-backed marbled boards, maroon morocco label on spine; old ownership signature crossed out on title-p., otherwise very good and sound. A second edition appeared in 1723. Attributed at various times (erroneously) to Daniel DeFoe, this appears to be the first work of its kind in English. Vancil, p. 71; not in Moore.
