Sir Thomas Browne

A Letter to a Friend Upon Occasion of the Death of His Intimate Friend

London, Charles Browne, 1690. First edition. Cloth. A very scarce, first edition copy of Sir Thomas Browne's important treatise, from the library of noted antiquarian, and lawyer Robert S Pirie. This work is a literary elaboration of a clinical report of a real patient who died of phthisis under Sir Thomas Browne's care. It is believed that the patient is Robert Loveday, a talented young author who translated part of La Calprenede's 'Cleopatre' and published it as 'Hymen's Praeludia, or Love's Masterpiece&apos. The friend to whom this letter has been written, is probably Sir John Pettus. Scholars believe that this work was written at the same time as Browne's 'Hydrotaphia', but there were various political and personal reasons why Browne did not wish to publish an intimate study of his patient during his lifetime. The author's name is written as 'Thomas Brown' to the title page. In marbled wraps and held in a custom chemise. Keynes notes in his bibliography of Sir Thomas Browne, that this work is excessively rare and was printed by the author's son. Keynes cites Sir William Osler who notes this is the most uncommon of all Browne's works. Keynes notes seven copies recorded in all, making this extremely scarce. With the bookplate to the front pastedown of Robert S Pirie. With Pirie's pencilled note to the inside front cover of the chemise: 'The Dr Eli Mosckowitz copy but not included in Sotheby's sales in 1964. It was apparently overlooked by them and turned up with the dregs of his library in a New York sale, RSP&apos. This copy was sold in the estate of the Robert S Pirie sale at Sotheby's New York in 2015. Sir Thomas Browne was an English Polymath and author of many works of varying genres including science, medicine, religion and the esoteric. 'A Letter to a Friend' was first written in 1656 and then published posthumously. This treatise has many speculations on the human condition. It is believed that Browne's work was used as a source in the twenty-first century by one Mary Leitao to describe the skin condition her son was suffering from. She chose the name 'Morgellon's Disease' having revived this name from Browne's text. Browne described a condition whereby children break out with 'harsh hairs' on their backs. However, the symptoms that Browne described are not linked to the modern cases. This work was one of Browne's later works, following his celebrated spiritual testament 'Religio Medici' and his refutation of superstition 'Pseudodoxia Epidemica&apos. This is a fascinating and very well regarded medical treatise of case-histories and contains many of Browne's well known witty speculations on the human condition. In marbled wraps and held in a custom made cloth chemise. Externally, smart with light shelfwear to the extremities. Chemise is smart with just some minor shelfwear to the head and tail of spine. Bookplate and notes to the front pastedown of Robert S Pirie. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean. Near Fine . Ill.: None. Near Fine/Near Fine.

The Miscellaneous Writings of Sir Thomas Browne Including Miscellany Tracts and Repertorium

London, Faber and Faber Limited, 1946. Cloth. A scarce anthology of works by the polymath Sir Thomas Browne, in the original unclipped dust wrapper. In the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original unclipped dust wrapper. This edition of Sir Thomas Browne's Miscellaneous Writings, Miscellany Tracts and Repertorium was originally issued in 1931 as volume five of The Works edited in six volumes by Geoffrey Keynes. The unsold remaining stock of the sheets of volumes one to four was destroyed by enemy action in 1941, and the survivors, the two volumes entitled five and six, are now reissued separately with the addition of a few errata. Thus this book has been re-issued in a new edition. Sir Thomas Browne (1605-1682) was an author of a great variety of works, revealing his wide learning in diverse fields including science and medicine, religion and the esoteric. His writings display a deep curiosity towards the natural world, influenced by the scientific revolution of Baconian enquiry. This anthology of miscellaneous writings by Browne includes a selection of his Miscellany Tracts, Repertorium, On Dreams, poems, notes on natural history, and observations of anatomy, among other writings. In publisher's original cloth binding, with original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, cloth is very smart. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright and clean, with spotting to the fore edge, affecting the occasional page. Dust wrapper is sunned and stained to the spine, with a little chipping to the extremities, but otherwise its colour is still bright. Very Good Indeed . Ill.: None. Very Good Indeed/Very Good.
