Descripción del artículo del vendedor

New York: Harper & Brothers, 1836. Full Leather. 8vo - 6 x 9. 467 pp. Fair. The boards are rubbed and soiled. Notes in pencil on the second front free endpaper and name in pencil on the rear pastedown. Foxing to the interior. Large tear and tape repair to page 60. Minimal notes in the text. The front and rear hinges are cracked. Otherwise the binding remains intact. An early 19th-century exploration of the natural world that reflects the moment when science, theology, and philosophy still intersected freely. The Book of Nature was written as a comprehensive survey of the physical universe covering natural history, geology, physiology, astronomy, chemistry, and the laws believed to govern life itself presented in a manner accessible to educated general readers of the period. Originally based on public lectures, this work attempts to reconcile emerging scientific thought with moral and theological understanding, making it a fascinating snapshot of pre-Darwinian science. This American edition is taken from the last London edition and includes an added biographical sketch of the author, providing context for Good s intellectual life and medical career. John Mason Good (1764 1827) was an English physician, classical scholar, and translator, best known for his ambitious attempt to systematize medical and natural knowledge for a broad audience. He translated major medical and philosophical texts from Latin and was respected for bridging rigorous scholarship with popular education. His work reflects Enlightenment ideals tempered by religious belief, characteristic of early 19th-century natural philosophy.
