Both hinges starting, toned, cloth stains, 1" spine tail tear, wear. Still solid hardcover. ; Detailed examination of Free-Thought and Skepticism in the Italian Renaissance. "The Author cannot lay claim to the merit of so selecting his representatives of Skepticism and Free-Thought that most forms and directions of thos energies find in them their impersonations and illustrations. He has merely taken the thinkers as they came in a kind of rough chronological order, but having thus conformed to what seemed the historical exigencies of the case, it is to him a source of gratification that the thinkers so selected do in reality represent so great a variety of processes of Free-Thought and Skepticism as could fairly be expected in the men chosen, and in the times and circumstances which they illustrate. In short, they are mostly typical thinkers, who will always find, as long as humanity with its thought and knowledge-greed endures, mental scions and successors among cultured and thoughtful men." - Introduction. ; xix, 419, xxxvi, 4ad pages.
