1813Best.-Nr. 001110London: J Walker; R. Lea; J. Cuthell et al. 1813. Hardcover. See Description. Eleventh edition 1813 printing. 8vo. 2 volumes. Volume I pp. xxiv 121 1 461 1. Volume II pp. 2 612. 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.

All the learning of the age as well as its humour - and its pedantry - are there. It has something in common with Brant's 'Ship of Fools' Erasmus's 'Praise of Folly' and More's 'Utopia' with Rabelais and Montaigne and like these it exercised a considerable influence on the thought of the time." - PRINTING AND THE MIND OF MAN 118.

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
