London, G.A. Starling, 1838. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A very good copy. An earlier seller's catalogue description is laid in: "A wonderfully dotty book. Diamond is the basic form of matter; the structure of man corresponds closely with that of the universe, which is now in its foetal stage; in a coming destruction of the Earth 'the virtuous portion of manking will be saved alive' in balloons." Some scuffing to the corners and spine, raised bands rubbed, a little foxing to the prelims. Small label to the upper board. Locke, Spectrum III:4. [12246, Hyraxia Books].
