Item description from seller

Scarce facsimile of original edition. 1830 at title page. Title continued: "And Its Traditions Referred to the Events In Paradise: Proving the Temptation and Fall of Man by the Instrumentality of a Serpent Tempter." Marbled boards, light brown spine wrap and tooled corner, light wear, bow. Sharp gilt spine titles on black fields with four raised bands. Marbled endpapers on thick textured stock. Pages near fine; few blemishes as from duplicated original. With a fine, light gold, satin ribbon page marker. Bind fine; hinges fully intact. A sharp facsimile of rare original first edition of this intriguing work. Rev. John Bathhurst Deane presents a full investigative and studied treatise into related patterns in cultures across the world. This is the highly illuminating 1830 study of serpent worship, especially in the Book of Genesis that convinced Eve to eat of the fruit from 'The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil,' and then convinced Adam to do the same. From preface: "The deception of Eve by Satan, through the instrumentality of a serpent has ever been an object of ridicule with the profane, who, reading without reflection, or reflecting without reading, deem that a 'foolishness,' which they cannot understand; and that 'a stumbling block,' which they cannot eplain away. Thus faith has been shaken, by an incredulous sneer, which had defied the sophistry of the acutest sceptic; and Christians, who would have scorned to be argued out of their religion, have not been ashamed to be laughed out of it." Next: "Preliminary Observations on the fall of man. That man, in his present state of ignorance, infirmity, and wickedness, is not the Adam of God's hand - the similitude of his Creator - the being which he was when God 'Breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, ' placed him in Paradise, and pronounced him 'good,' - is an observation not resulting from metaphysical research, but obvious to the most simple, unlettered mind." Chap. I. Serpent-Worship in Asia. The worship of the serpent is supposed by Bryant to have commenced in Chaldea; and to have been 'the first variation from the purer Zabaism.' A number of Gnostic texts and others referenced, expound on the idea of knowledge, and how the serpent gave this to humans. Deane includes mythical reptilian creatures such as dragons and the leviathan. The theme of this veneration is traced from Babylonia, East and West, through Persia, Hindûstan - Persian name for India, China, Mexico, Britain, Scandinavia, Italy, Illyricum - the western Balkans, Thrace, Greece, Asia Minor - Turkish, and Phoenicia - Lebanon area of the Levant. Several pages of advert for facsimile publisher at back. 391 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.
