First American edition, 8vo (225 x 140 mm), xvi, 439, [1]pp., text somewhat browned in places, orig. boards, upper board detached, spine perished, stitching loose, uncut. Drew, a metaphysician and one of the early Cornish Methodists, was an intimate friend of Dr. Thomas Coke and Adam Clarke. His metaphysical disquisitions obtained for him an honorary M.A. from Scotland, and the offer of a chair in the University of London, which he declined. This work was published as a successor to his very successful "Essay on the Immateriality and Immortality of the Soul". This book was not quite so popular, though Drew's limited philosophical skills probably appear to better advantage here than in the earlier work.
