Note:"In his Religio medici, published in 1642 amid communal strife intensified by sectarian dogmatism, Browne candidly examined his attitudes to God and man, arriving at personal insights of universal value, and expressing a rare but timely tolerance. In a grander mode, Hydriotaphia and The garden of Cyrus ceremoniously explore space and time, growth and decay, nature and mankind, fascinating both mind and senses with the choice strangeness of Browne's eclectic learning, prolific vocabulary, and indiosyndratic music." --Back cover.
