Printed By R. W. For Gregory Moul, 1651. Hardcover. Good. A rare and wonderful book. Interior is original 1651 printing, and has been professionally re-bound. Brown board have some moderate edgewear/rubbing to boards, spine and corners. Front inside board used to have ex-libris within, now there is some light balding and card remnant. Contents are in excellent condition considering the age. Pages are faded and have some slight foxing. Introduction and pgs 1-35 have some chipping at the bottom corner, very slight warp to pages.. Frontpiece of author still intact and in great condition. Printing is so old that the character "f" is used in place of an "s". First page of the book has some doodling and inscriptions in quill, there are also some spare notations in quill in some of the margins. Inscription and name in quill (Tho Lucas) is dated 1726. Folio was hand-bound into the book on pg 163 (quill correction to the instructions on the folio, as it originally read "Place this table after folio 136"). Please contact us for any additional information you may require. We are pleased to be offering this rare jem to the book community.

Minor rub points to the tips, few small spots on edge of page block, otherwise near fine, clean, crisp, tight, unmarked in very good dust jacket with some chips and longish tears along the folds. From the Preface: "CAN "THE RIDDLE OF THE UNIVERSE" BE SOLVED? SINCE THE DAWN OF recorded history men have tried, but "the riddle" still remains. They failed, and all because they lacked the one essential--the key to Causation. This is the master key that unlocks all mysteries, but that key was lost in the spiritual night of the past 6,000 years. In that mythopoeic age that preceded this, men knew vastly more about Causation and Creation than he does today, but knowing also that an age of darkness was coming upon the world, the wise Initiates hid…

binding is very clean- just a touch of edgewear/shelfwear. They used a two tone quarter green cloth over gray cloth and the green portion still is glossy. Internals very clean ( not even any pricing marks in pencil) though there is a paper clip indentation at the lower edge affecting the title, onwards for 20 pages. Unclipped wrapper has only some rubbing but I detect no tears, creases or chips. The paper is wonderful; it strikes me as feeling and looking like "linen" (not your business/office grade) but I am by no means an expert on paper. This US Stackpole Edition omits 8 plates which are in the UK Allen & Unwin volume. Well-preserved, excellent copy.Inv. # 63672 NOAB* bds 9/2023
