A collection of Thomas Browne's writing compiled by his friend Thomas Tenison (later the Archhbishop of Canterbury) after Browne's death in 1682. Tenison was entrusted with some of Browne's papers by his wife (Lady Dorothy) and son (Dr Edward Browne), from which he produced Certain Miscellany Tracts, first published 1682. The manuscript for Christian Morals was also in this collection of papers but wasn't published until 1716. According to the ESTC this 1684 is a 'reissue, with cancel title page, of the 1683 edition.'

Sir Thomas Browne (1605â"1682) was an English polymath, physician, and writer known for his rich prose and intellectual curiosity. Christian Morals, published posthumously in 1716, is a reflective and philosophical work that explores ethical and religious themes through a Christian lens. Written as a sequel to his earlier work Religio Medici, it offers moral guidance rooted in Christian doctrine while incorporating Browneâs characteristic blend of scientific observation, classical references, and personal meditation. The text emphasizes virtues such as humility, charity, and piety, advocating for a life of moral integrity and spiritual contemplation.

4to, 3 pp. Bifolium. Twenty-two lines. Text clear and complete. Fair, on aged paper, with minor damage repaired with archival tape. Franked, with broken red wax seal and two postmarks, to 'Captain Saml Brown R.N.', at Inverleith House, Edinburgh. Despite the fact that Martin has 'given the Credit of every improvement in the Service', Napier happens to know 'that other people are deserving of more credit than him', and he wishes to 'bring forward some great names like yours' to 'the Lords & the Country' at the second reading of the Navy Officer Bill. Asks Brown if he introduced 'the Iron Tanks for water now used in the ships Holds'. Asks 'What reward did you ever get for the Cables & how long have you been allowed to supply the Navy & to what extent?' Postscript relating to 'Dundonald' [Lord Cochrane, the Sea Wolf] who "is to be restored immed[iately]>" [Apparently he was dismissed in 1814 "following a conviction of fraud" but restored in 1832 as per this letter.

FIRST EDITION. 142 x 80 mm. (5 5/8 x 3 3/8"). 3 p.l., 331, [3] (ads) pp. Contemporary dark brown calf, smooth spine with possibly later (18th century?) lettering to (original?) backstrip. (Recent small, expert repairs to joints and spine.) Front flyleaf with engraved armorial bookplate of Samuel W. Lambert (see below). Keynes 187; Osler 4531; Wing B-5065; ESTC R16043. Boards a bit dried and abraded, spine with superficial creasing, but the binding sturdy and wholly satisfactory; not infrequent (but light, and never offensive) foxing to text. Internally fresh and clean, and given the expectations for an insubstantial pedestrian binding like this, an excellent copy. This is an appealing copy of a rare and peculiar work on the natural world, from the library of a distinguished American bibliophile. The preface to "Nature's Cabinet" concludes with a quote from "Religio Medici," the best-known work of physician and writer Sir Thomas Browne (1605-82), leading some to conclude that he was the author. Keynes, however, declares, "This scarce and curious work treats of physiology, but it is not in any way worthy of Sir Thomas Browne, with whose name it was falsely associated." One of the great 17th century stylists of English prose and one of the most innovative thinkers of his time, Browne was quick to deny responsibility for this fanciful disquisition, going so far as to print his denial at the end of his 1658 "Hydriotaphia." While it is scientifically and theologically specious, "Nature's Cabinet" is nevertheless surprising and entertaining in its discussion of the nature of bodies, no matter what category they belong to. Sorting nature into inanimate and animate bodies, the text examines the characteristics of stones, gems, and metals, before moving onto plants (to which it assigns souls!), animals, and humans. The final pages address what the writer considers plant-animal hybrids, among them sea stars and sea anemones. As indicated by the ex-libris designed and engraved by noted bookplate artist Edwin Davis French, our copy was once in the library of Dr. Samuel W. Lambert (1859-1942), respected physician, medical educator, and Grolier Club member. As dean and later head of the Columbia University School of Medicine, Lambert was a pioneer in developing alliances between hospitals and medical schools for the training of doctors. Rare books were his respite from career pressures, and his chief activity in retirement. His profile by Columbia University Irving Medical Center Archives and Special Collections notes, "He was responsible for discovering the surviving woodcut blocks for the illustrations of Andreas Vesalius's landmark 'De Humani Corporis Fabrica' (1543) and having them reprinted in 1934 as 'Andreae Vesalii Bruxellensis Icones Anatomicae.'" Whoever wrote "Nature's Cabinet," the work is rare in the marketplace: we could trace only one other copy at auction since 1990.

Plate: 245x157 mm. Margin: 255x167 mm. Some very faint foxing.
