Pages clean. 1837 New Edition Corrected , THE ANATOMY OF MELANCHOLY (2 VOLS) WITH PROVENANCE What it is, with all the kinds, causes, symptoms, prognostics and several cures of it. To which is prefixed an account of the author New Edition Corrected By Democritus Junior Robert Burton Author Bio: Robert Burton (8 February 1577 - 25 January 1640) was an English author and fellow of Oxford University, who wrote the encyclopedic tome The Anatomy of Melancholy. Burton's most famous work and greatest achievement was The Anatomy of Melancholy. First published in 1621, it was reprinted with additions from Burton no fewer than five times. A digressive and labyrinthine work, Burton wrote as much to alleviate his own melancholy as to help others. The final edition totalled more than 500,000 words. The book is permeated by quotations from and paraphrases of many authorities, both classical and contemporary, the culmination of a lifetime of erudition. Provenance: Previous Owner Bookplate Motto - Nec prodicus nec avarus (Neither avaricious nor covetous): Thomas Whipham was the first son of Thomas Henry Whipham, a barrister, of Lincoln's Inn, and was educated at Rugby and Oriel College, Oxford. He rowed in his college boat and took a natural science degree in 1861. He studied medicine at St. George's Hospital, graduating as B.M. in 1866, and, after filling a house appointment, was made demonstrator of anatomy in 1869 and curator of the museum a year later. He was appointed to the honorary staff as assistant physician in 1872 and became physician in 1876. He retired as consulting physician in 1896, having acted as dean of the School from 1888 to 1893. He examined in medicine for Oxford University and served as Senior Censor at the Royal College of Physicians. Laryngology was his particular interest, but he was an able general physician and teacher. He once held the office of prime warden of the Goldsmiths' Company. He was a lover of the countryside and of fishing and shooting, and, after retiring to Devon in 1904, added gardening to his hobbies. He married Florence, a daughter of Charles Tanqueray, and had one son. He died at Hatherleigh, Devon. Synopsis: THE ANATOMY OF MELANCHOLY (full title: The Anatomy of Melancholy, What it is: With all the Kinds, Causes, Symptomes, Prognostickes, and Several Cures of it. In Three Partitions with their several Sections, Members, and Subsections, Philosophically, Medicinally, Historically, Opened and Cut Up) 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, The Anatomy of Melancholy 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.
