with an attractive engraved frontispiece of a prodigious corn (wheat) plant, frontispiece offset onto title, woodcut head and tailpieces and initials, pp. [viii], 50, 8vo, modern calf backed boards, spine lettered in gilt, very good. First edition and a very attractive copy of this scarce early eighteenth-century treatise on cor…n, by the eminent German philosopher Christian Freiherr von Wolff (1679-1754). In his chapter 'of blighted corn', he explains how he has taken blackened corn husks and kept them in his bedchamber. This is said to be a translation of Erläuterung der Entdeckung der wahren Ursach von der wunderbahren Vermehrung des Getredes, but we have found no trace of a German publication either in WorldCat or KVK. (ESTC T131469).
