(Vellum a bit soiled/stained in places, small dam. to 1 spine, engr. portr. of the engraver lacks, some marginal waterstains to a few vols., but altog. a clean set).NOTE: Von Fauber zu Faur, 1855: "In Scheuchzer's gigantic work, 'Physica Sacra', the Baroque attains, philosophically as well as artistically, its high point and its conclusion. It is the last of those elegant works which do not really contain illustrations to a text but which are, in effect, composed of splendid plates with a text to accompany them (…) Scheuchzer hit upon the idea of investigating and supporting with modern methods all places in which the Bible poses problems of natural science." The work deals with all aspects of nature and natural history: Zoology, ichtology, botany, astronomy, etc., following the Bible from Genesis to Apocalypse. The plates are numbered 1-750, extra: 39A, 99B, 133A, 217A, 223A, 340A-B, 446A-C, 463A & 470A. Illustrations 37-39 on 1 plate; nrs. 340 and 446 left out. - Fine set.

What time can from his Soul such ills erase?" Lond., 1791. Cont. handcoloured mezzotint by J.R. Smith after George Morland. 500 x 685 mm. Laid down on cardboard.

Along with the engraving of the slave ship Brookes, it provided an enduring visual image to help promote the abolitionist cause. - Dawe, 'Life of George Morland', p. 152; Frankau, 'John Raphael Smith: His Life and Works', 321. - Sold w.a.f., not subject to return.
