Fresh endpapers. "A greatly extended editon of Spencer's refutation of omens and apparitions and the first to include his new publication, a "Discourse Concerning Vulgar Prophecies." The book examines a copious assemblage of superstitions and auguries, such as comets, eclipses, the turning of ponds to blood and the moving of mountains, tracing the history of the Old Testament and classical mythology and commending the study of Natural Philosophy. John Spencer (1630--1693) was an eminent Hebraist and has been held to be "the founder of the study of comparative religion." (Wing, S4948) Leather rubbed at edges, old bookplates relaid onto recent endpapers, light dampstain to upper corner of some pages not affecting text. Still a solid, attractive copy.

Hardcover, sm.4to, 58 + 58pp, Contemporary (?) half leather with marbled boards, rebacked with later leather spine, with older gilt-stamped leather spine label laid down. Fold-out & other plates. The First edition of the first serious study of the origins of the White Horse in Berkshire, bound together with the author's 'Further Observations.' With the ownership inscription of 'J. Hughes, Donnington, 1839.' According to a later pencilled note on the ffep this volume is "From [the] library of J. Hughes, father of Thos. Hughes author of 'Scouring of the White Horse,' 'Tom Brown's School Day's' etc." The full title of the work is "A Letter to Dr. Mead Concerning Some Antiquities in Berkshire Particularly shewing that the White Horse, which gives its name to the Vale, is a Monument of the West-Saxons, made in memory of a great Victory obtained over the Danes in A.D. 871." At the rear is Mead's "Further Observations upon the White Horse &c." which includes the plates (one of which is a folding panorama) but has been bound in without the separate title page. Moderate overall wear to covers commensurate with age, but binding strong and tight thanks to the reback. Some mostly-even browning to the pages, though the two plates of 'A Letter,' are remarkable fresh and unmarked. A clean, VG copy.
