Description
1786 SYLVA 1ed Ralph Heathcote Anecdotes LAW Philosophy Paracelsus Letters
Ralph Heathcote was an 18th-century English writer known for his studies in astronomy, history, the early Church, and even attacks on well-known political and religious figures. However, after all of his popular and oft-read controversial writings, his literary career ended with his Sylva – a collection of anecdotes, character sketches, and short essays on a variety of topics. Notable essays include Heathcotes views on lawyers, a defense of Paracelsus, on coffee-house politicians, and much more.
