Description
1668. First Edition. GLANVILL, Joseph. Plus Ultra: Or, the Progress and Advancement of Knowledge since the Days of Aristotle. London: James Collins, 1668. 12mo, period-style full paneled calf gilt. $2800.First edition of Glanvill's impassioned defense of the Royal Society against Aristotelians, led by Puritan minister Robert Crosse. Handsomely bound.""Glanvill's major writings related to the [Royal Society] were Plus ultra, or, The Progress and Advancement of Knowledge since the Days of Aristotle (1668) and Philosophia pia, or, A discourse of the religious temper and tendencies of the experimental philosophy which is profest by the Royal Society (1671). Plus Ultra began in a conflict with a local puritan minister and Aristotelian, Robert Crosse… Crosse even composed anti-Glanvill ballads to be sung in alehouses. Conceived as a supplement to Thomas Sprat's History of the Royal Society (1667), Plus Ultra, an early attempt at a history of science, praised the new philosophy of the Royal Society as the most productive yet found. Conceived in one conflict, it led to another, an elaborate pamphlet war with Glanvill and Thomas Sprat defending the society against the attacks of Crosse's associate, the Aristotelian physician Henry Stubbe, author of Legends no histories, or, A specimen of some animadversions upon the history of the Royal Society … together with the ‘Plus ultra’ reduced to a ‘non plus’ (1670), which accused the society of being intellectually élitist and crypto-Catholic… Glanvill argued that science glorified God in his works and confuted atheism, materialism, and superstition. Glanvill, whose public life was one of untiring controversy, also recommended natural philosophy as an aid against 'the Humour of Disputing'"" (ODNB). Wing G820. Bookplate; occasional ink or penciled marginalia and annotations.Early signatures with marginal paper repairs; A6 with upper corner renewed. Text clean; period-style binding handsome and fine.

POSTER CELEBRATING BOOK COLLECTING. "BIBLIOMANIA""THEY WHO DO NOT READ, CAN HAVE NOTHING TO THINK AND LITTLE TO SAY". . .Dr. Johnson. This poster, an affectionate tribute to book collecting, measures 23 x 17 1/2 and is nicely printed in red and black on quality cream colored stock. In the center of the poster is a facsimile of the title page of the scarce first edition of Thomas Frognall Dibden's classic work on book collecting entitled "THE BIBLIOMANIA; OR BOOK-MADNESS". This was one of the first books on book collecting and bibliomania. Surrounding the title page image are over thirty-five quotes about book collecting, book lovers, readers and book obsessions. The "book fool" from Pynson's Ship of Fools, 1509 edition, is hand colored. Each poster is unique.
