About This Item

London: Jonathan Cape, 1975.. 1st edition. "A colourful picture of the social life of the time and of astrology's last great stand as a science. In an age ripe with catastrophic forebodings, Lilly watched at close quarters the majority of Londoners flee from epidemics through dung-filled streets, the overthrow of a king, transformation under Cromwell, and the City burning from end to end. Although later maligned for the panic they inspired in the populace, astrologers in the mid-seventeenth century, in particular William Lilly, were held in awe at the centre of the nation's frail fabric." Pp.272, 10 black & white plates, inscribed by the author to front free endpaper. Dark blue cloth, dustwrapper has minor edge wear but is in a removable clear protective wrap. VG/VG.
