175221730London: A. Millar 1752. Very Good/No Dust Jacket As Issued. <br /> A significant mid-18th-century synthesis of Newtonian cosmology and Evangelical devotion. <br /> <br /> Moses Browne a pen-cutter turned clergyman under the influence of James Hervey utilized his 'Essay on the Universe' to harmonize the vastness of the physical 'Creation' with the structured spiritual life detailed in 'Sunday Thoughts.' Published by the influential Andrew Millar this volume represents the transition of British religious poetry from classical patronage toward the deeply personal observational piety that would eventually define the Olney circle. It captures a specific moment in the Georgian era where the 'Astrophil' of the Gentleman's Magazine successfully merged the scientific awe of the universe with the moral requirements of the Christian Sabbath.<br /> <br /> KEY FEATURES<br /> Visuals: Woodcut ornaments and initials. <br /> Binding: Period full calf; five raised spine bands; gilt-ruled spine with a contemporary title label. <br /> Content: Combines the first major revision of 'An Essay on the Universe' originally 1739 with the popular 'Sunday Thoughts' 1849. Features the 'Christian Sabbath' in three distinct parts. <br /> Imprint: A. Millar London. 1752. <br /> Specs: 16mo; xiv viii 2 240 pp.<br /> <br /> CONDITION - Overall Very Good. The Book: Binding is tight and square. Period calf shows light rubbing and a few minor scratches; the rear board has localized spotting from surface rubs. Internally the contents are excellent with clean text and only minimal light foxing or toning in isolated areas. <br /> Note: A small singular wormhole is present at the upper corner of the final leaves page 234 through the end not affecting text. A well-preserved and unsophisticated copy.<br /> <br /> SCHOLARLY FEATURES<br /> Cosmological Poetry: 'An Essay on the Universe' is a primary example of 18th-century didactic verse attempting to explain Newtonian physics and astronomy through a theological lens.<br /> Evangelical Lineage: Browne was the predecessor to John Newton as the Vicar of Olney; this work provides the early intellectual foundation for the Evangelical revival in the English Midlands.<br /> Publishing History: Printed by Andrew Millar the publisher of Fielding and Hume signaling the mainstream commercial appeal of Browne's devotional works by the mid-century. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -<br /> Moses Browne's trajectory from a struggling pen-cutter to a favored protégé of the Countess of Hertford is a classic Enlightenment success story. This 1752 collection was instrumental in securing his reputation eventually leading to his ordination. By framing the 'Universe' as a subject of both scientific and 'Sunday' contemplation Browne helped bridge the gap between the intellectual elites and the emerging Evangelical middle class setting the stage for the later hymnodal traditions of Cowper and Newton.<br /> <br /> SUBJECTS: 18th Century Poetry Newtonian Cosmology Evangelical History Christian Sabbath Moses Browne Olney History Poetry Devotional Literature 18th Century Printing.<br /> <br /> BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCES: ESTC T83749; Foxon B521; Alston XIII 35; Northup 687.

A satire on the Berlin academy written jointly by Lessing and Moses Mendelssohn criticizing the philosophical system of Alexander Popeís Essay on Man 1733-1734. Lessing German writer critic and dramatist was one of the most outstanding representatives of the Enlightenment era. His plays and theoretical writings often witty and ironic substantially influenced the development of German literature. In 1755 the collaborative work of Lessing and his friend philosopher Moses Mendelssohn anonymously appeared in the form of this provocative treatise Pope ein Metaphysiker! Pope as a Metaphysician. The controversial treatise dissected the subject of a contest at the Prussian Royal Academy. The two friends wrote it to confirm that there cannot be a true comparison between a poetic and a philosophic conception. <br/><br/> Bern: in der Hallerschen Buchandlung paperback
