1845FB3043 /1A<p>Brown cloth binding with gilt title and date on the spine.</p><p>This book focuses on the art to 'The Anatomy of Melancholy' The Anatomy of Melancholy is a book by Robert Burton first published in 1621. On its surface the book is presented as a medical textbook in which Burton applies his vast and varied learning in the scholastic manner to the subject of melancholia which includes although it is not limited to what is now termed clinical depression. Although presented as a medical text it is as much a sui generis work of literature as it is a scientific or philosophical text and Burton addresses far more than his stated subject. In fact the Anatomy uses melancholy as the lens through which all human emotion and thought may be scrutinized and virtually the entire contents of a 17th-century library are marshalled into service of this goal. It is encyclopedic in its range and reference. In his satirical preface to the reader Burton's persona and pseudonym "Democritus Junior" explains "I write of melancholy by being busy to avoid melancholy." This is characteristic of the author's style which often supersedes the book's strengths as a medical text or historical document as its main source of appeal to admirers. Both satirical and serious in tone the Anatomy is "vitalized by Burton's pervading humour" and his digressive and inclusive style often verging on a stream of consciousness consistently informs and animates the text.</p> Thomas Tegg. hardcover

Binding strong.<br /> <br /> <p>Robert Burton 1577-1640 went to Oxford in 1593 and never left possibly due to his bouts of depression. He wrote on the subject of melancholy to relieve his own mind of its burden and over the years put together the first psychiatric encyclopedia in the English language. Burton’s satirical and discursive Anatomy analyses the causes symptoms and cures of melancholy bolstered by a wide range of quotations and is a literary as well as medical classic. First published in 1621 the book was reprinted with revisions three times during Burton's lifetime and numerous times since. It was a favorite of Dr. Johnson another sufferer of depression who told Boswell that this was “the only book that ever took him out of bed two hours sooner than he wished to rise.â€.

Bound in full modern tan calf after period style with spine gilt in 6 compartments. Interior pages are generally very clean with occasional faint foxing. Robert Burton's psychiatric study "Anatomy of Melancholy" first printed in London 1621 is a learned work on various types of melancholia. The author cites numerous authorities and includes much curious lore about customs treatments secrets of nature psychology witchcraft dreams sickness demons ghosts and apparitions. Burton himself may have suffered from melancholia/depression. The 8th edition of Burton's book appeared in 1676. Authors such as Milton Johnson and Sterne found inspiration with Burton. Nevertheless in the 18th century the book fell into obscurity with no editions being issued. Interest in Burton's work increased during the Romantic Period and in 1800 J. Cundee published a 9th edition with corrections and with an account of the author's life. Other editions with further corrections and notes came out during the 19th century. Burton's work is now considered a classic of English literature. The first printing of the 11th edition by Vernor Hood & Sharpe appeared in 1806. This J. Walker; R. Lea; J. Cuthell printing of the 11th edition appeared in 1813. Wellcome II 278 citing the first volume for this edition or see copy at the Wellcome Collection online. <br/> <br/> J Walker; R. Lea; J.
