It is at once a treatise on the medicinal virtues of tar-water (a mixture of water and pine tar), its making and dosage, and a philosopher`s vision of a chain of being, "a gradual evolution or ascent" from the world of sense to "the mind, her acts and faculties" and, thence, to the supernatural and God, the three in one. This edition was printed by Margt. Rhames for R. Gunne, bookseller in Capel Street. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
