Description: Paper Over Boards. Condition: Very Good. Second. Still bound in original light paper over boards, slightly darkened and softened at corners and head and foot of spine with slight wear. Notes on inside front cover and first free endpaper in early hand detailing the bibliographic history of this title. Title printed in red and black, first edition printed in London in 1697, which caused sensation and outrage as it suggested that miracles in the Gospel could be explained by naturally occurring phenomena, leading to attempts to limit its distribution. This edition was published after Bernard Connor's death. Oslar notes: "In spite of its title, this is a work on physiology, natural and supernatural, with a table of biblical references at the end. It is followed, with separate pagination, by a series of espitles . . . The last being a synopsis of his lectures". Bernard Connor (1666-1698) led a short but almost incredibly full life. He is probably claimed in some context by Ireland [where he was born], France [where he studied medicine], England [where he lectured at both Oxford and Cambridge]; he was also court physician to Polish King John Sobieski, and the diplomatic escort of the king's daughter to her marriage with the elector of Bavaria. He returned to England in 1695
