Tucker, Abraham

Light of Nature Pursued (An abridgement of the.)

      T Bensley 1807 - Abridgement of the Light of Nature Pursued, by Abraham Tucker Esq. Originally published in Seven Volumes, under the name of Edward Search Esq. Printed for J Johnson, St Paul's Church-Yard, by T Bensley, Bolt Court. 1807. A rare copy of this book, which is the abridgement. In very good condition for it's age. There is slight ageing and discolouration of the paper, but really remarkably little all things considered. Contents are: Book 1 - Of the Human Mind; Book II - Principles of Human Conduct; Book III - Natural Religion; Book IV - Established Doctrines; Book V - Miscellaneous Subjects. There is also "some account of the life of the author", and a quote from Archdeacon Paley from his "Principles of Moral and Political Philosophy". The binding is tight, with no loose pages or rips / tears etc. The only blemish is that on pages 161/162, and pages 187 -194 there have been some penned notes in the margins of the pages, which have been cut out (the text is still fully legible). There is some underlining, but this is minimal. The binding is very good and tight, with no damage to the spine, although the grey brown boards are mottled and bumped (not severely) round the edges. The book has very possibly been rebound some time in the past, using the original boards, but with new headband (I believe). There is very little foxing to the paper, which is rough cut. I am happy to supply more photos which I can e mail to you - also the book can be viewed at my premises in York. As always, prompt despatch to you from York. Needless to say, this will be sent with insurance and tracking. There may be additional charges for overseas dispatch - please ask, thanks. ; 004428. [Attributes: Hard Cover]
