From the library of Michael Lilienthal with his engraved bookplate. 19,5 x 12,5 cm. Interesting collection of ten english tracts printed 1712-1714, some of them relating to The Deist Controversy and several of them rare. Philosopher Anthony Collins (1676-1729) was a friend of John Locke and his influential Discourse of Freethinking is here in it's first edition, the repaired title page should be noted, but is neatly done and in a contemporary hand. The work of antiquary John Pointer (1668-1754) on the Roman pavement in Stonesfield, with the plate depicting Bacchus, is of importance as the pavement was destroyed already in 1724. Bookseller and author of many curious titles John Dunton (1659-1733) is perhaps best known as founder of The Athenian Society in 1691 and as publisher of the periodical The Athenian Mercury. Michael Lilienthal (1686-1750) was a german theologian, librarian, numismatist, publicist, and professor at the university of Rostock. His bookplate in this sammelband bears also the signature of his son Theodor Christoph Lilienthal (1717-1781).
