The Wonders of the Little World; Or, A General History of Man
'The Wonders Of The Little World; Or, a General History of Man' by Nathaniel Wanley displays the various faculties, capacities, powers and defects of the human body and mind, in many thousand most interesting relations of persons remarkable for bodily perfections or defects. The information is collected from the writings of the most approved historians, philosophers, and physicians or all ages and countries, forming a complete system of the mental and corporeal powers and defects of human nature. The book is intended to increase knowledge, to promote virtue, to discourage vice, and to furnish topics for innocent and ingenious conversation. This is a new edition, with the addition of much new and curious matter, carefully selected from all attainable sources, and the whole revised and corrected by William Jonnston.
