The Anatomy of Melancholy What it is With All the Kinds Causes Symptoms Prognostics and Several Cures of it In Three Partitions. With Their Several Sections Members and Subsections Philosophically Medicinally Historically opened and cut up. By Democritus Junior. With a Satyricall Preface Conducing to the Following Discourse. The Eleventh Edition Corrected: To Which is now First Prefixed an Account of the Author. In Two Volumes

rif. blb05698Good. Two Volumes of the Original Two Volume Set - Conditions the same for both unless noted: Leather quarter-bound to spine and corners over marbled paper on boards. Gilt lettering and tooling to spine. Books are tight square and free of major flaws or markings although edges and corners are worn with age and use text block edges are browned and gilt to spine is moderately faded. Interior is clean with only minor spotting throughout. Volume I has a gift inscription on ffep - A.R. Thurlow from L.F.B. in hope that his ___ may be hereby improved Oct 19th 1900. 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 unique 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. hardcover

Large octavo full leather binding gilt lettering and decorated rules to spine blindstamped design in panels to spine gilt stamped rule and blindstamped decoration to borders of boards marbled endpapers all edges marbled engraved frontispiece based on the famous frontispiece of 1628 with numerous illustrated panels "drawn and engraved expressly for this edition" by C.

Fisher' to the reverse of the front free endpaper. Very good condition. Robert Burton's seventeenth-century classic was first published in 1621. The work overwent considerable expansions and revisions during the author's lifetime but this edition is taken from its final form. The work is on its surface a quasi-medical text dealing with "melancholia" depression but overall it is an encyclopedic often comic approach to life philosophy and literature. Burton wrote it under the pseudonym Democritus Junior as a reference to the Ancient Greek "laughing philosopher" Democritus. A review of a recent reprint described the work as "Made out of all the books that existed in a 17th-century library it was compiled in order to explain and account for all human emotion and thought." This is a handsomely bound 1838 edition in excellent condition. 16th edition. B. Blake hardcover

Bound in full modern tan calf after period style with spine gilt in 6 compartments. Interior pages are generally very clean with occasional faint foxing. Robert Burton's psychiatric study "Anatomy of Melancholy" first printed in London 1621 is a learned work on various types of melancholia. The author cites numerous authorities and includes much curious lore about customs treatments secrets of nature psychology witchcraft dreams sickness demons ghosts and apparitions. Burton himself may have suffered from melancholia/depression. The 8th edition of Burton's book appeared in 1676. Authors such as Milton Johnson and Sterne found inspiration with Burton. Nevertheless in the 18th century the book fell into obscurity with no editions being issued. Interest in Burton's work increased during the Romantic Period and in 1800 J. Cundee published a 9th edition with corrections and with an account of the author's life. Other editions with further corrections and notes came out during the 19th century. Burton's work is now considered a classic of English literature. The first printing of the 11th edition by Vernor Hood & Sharpe appeared in 1806. This J. Walker; R. Lea; J.

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 Maine Partitions with their several Sections Members and Subsections. Philosophically Historically Opened and Cut up. is a book written by Robert Burton which was first published 1621. The book is on its surface a medical textbook in which Burton applies his large and varied learning in the Scholastic manner to the subject of melancholia. Each section piles on ancient and mediæval medical authorities from Hippocrates Aristotle and Galen forward and adds to these ancient examples a great deal of Latin poetry. Burton defines his subject this way: Melancholy the subject of our present discourse is either in disposition or in habit. In disposition is that transitory Melancholy which goes and comes upon every small occasion of sorrow need sickness trouble fear grief passion or perturbation of the mind any manner of care discontent or thought which causes anguish dulness heaviness and vexation of spirit any ways opposite to pleasure mirth joy delight causing frowardness in us or a dislike. In which equivocal and improper sense we call him melancholy that is dull sad sour lumpish ill-disposed solitary any way moved or displeased. And from these melancholy dispositions no man living is free no Stoick none so wise none so happy none so patient so generous so godly so divine that can vindicate himself; so well-composed but more or less some time or other he feels the smart of it. Melancholy in this sense is the character of Mortality.This Melancholy of which we are to treat is a habit a serious ailment a settled humour as Aurelianus and others call it not errant but fixed: and as it was long increasing so now being pleasant or painful grown to a habit it will hardly be removed. Over the course of the book Burton draws from nearly every science of his day including psychology physiology astronomy astrology demonology meteorology and theology. In fact much of the book consists of quotations from various authorities and Burton fills the Anatomy with more or less pertinent references to the works of others. The Anatomy of Melancholy is a particularly lengthy book. The first edition printed as a single quarto volume was nearly 900 pages long and subsequent editions only added to that total. The text is partitioned into three major sections plus an introduction each arranged in Burton's sprawling style. characteristically the introduction includes not only an author's note titled "Democritus Junior to the Reader" but also a Latin poem "Democritus Junior to His Book" a warning to "The Reader Who Employs His Leisure Ill" an abstract of the following text and another poem explaining the frontispiece. The following three sections proceed in a similarly exhaustive fashion: the first section focuses on the causes and symptoms of "common" melancholies while the second section deals with cures for melancholy and the third section explores more complex and esoteric melancholies including the melancholy of lovers and all varieties of religious melancholies. The Anatomy concludes with an extensive index which many years later The New York Times Book Review called "a readerly pleasure in itself".; additionally most modern editions of the book are supplemented with many pages of explanatory notes for the reader. Throughout the book Burton's digressive and inclusive style often verging on a stream of consciousness consistently informs and animates the text. Though nominally a medical book the Anatomy is "vitalized by Burton's pervading humour" and is as much a sui generis work of literature as it is a scientific or philosophical text. The Anatomy of Melancholy has been admired by many subsequent writers from Samuel Johnson Charles Lamb and John Keats who professed it to be his favourite book to Stanley Fish Philip Pullman and Jorge Luis Borges who used a quote as an epigraph to his story "The Library of Babel". Despite its age The Anatomy of Melancholy is still considered an enduring if eccentric literary classic by many modern critics. UncleAndy. Seventh Edition. Half Calf Leather.
