On the Nature of Things (T. Lucreti Cari De Rerum Natura Libri Sex) with Notes and a Translation by H. A. J. Munri, published in 1893. “The purpose of the work is to free men from a sense of guilt and the fear of death by demonstrating that fear of the intervention of gods in this world and of punishment of the soul after death are groundless: the world and everything in it are material and governed by the mechanical laws of nature, and the soul is mortal and perishes with the body.” All three volumes hardcover with light shelfwear only and gilt lettering on spines but spines are lightly faded.
