This edition of Sir Thomas Browne's Miscellaneous Writings, Miscellany Tracts and Repertorium was originally issued in 1931 as volume five of The Works edited in six volumes by Geoffrey Keynes.

Thus this book has been re-issued in a new edition. Sir Thomas Browne (1605-1682) was an author of a great variety of works, revealing his wide learning in diverse fields including science and medicine, religion and the esoteric. His writings display a deep curiosity towards the natural world, influenced by the scientific revolution of Baconian enquiry. This anthology of miscellaneous writings by Browne includes a selection of his Miscellany Tracts, Repertorium, On Dreams, poems, notes on natural history, and observations of anatomy, among other writings.
