Sobre este item
London: Printed for C. Rivington, 1740. Octavo. . 2nd edition. (2), i- xvi, i-iv, (2), 1- lxviii, 344 pages. After lectures on bodily regimen that influenced William Law and Joh Wesley, he began his most serious works. He first wrote the Essay on Regimen consisted of six essays on natural philosophy in which Cheyne explained the interrelationship of mind and body, matter and spirit, employing Newton's theory of the ether as well as his principle of analogy. He reiterated that Newtonian natural philosophy, and particularly the theory of the ether, demonstrated a platonic continuum between matter and spirit which linked mechanism to mysticism. The reason these copies are scarce was that the mid-18th century reading public considered them too abstruse. Bound in a 20th century 1/4 brown leather over marbled paper covered boards, raised bands, double black leather spine labels gilt, internally clean and fresh.
