The wonders of the little world: or, a general history of man. In six books. Wherein by many thousands of examples is shewed what man hath been from the first ages of the world to these times. In respect of his body, senses, passions, affections: his virtues and perfections, his vices and defects, his quality, vocation and profession; and many other particulars not reducible to any of the former heads. Collected from the writings of the most approved historians, philosophers, physicians, philologists and others. By Nath. Wanley, M.A. and Vicar of Trinity Parish in the city of Coventry.
