About This Item
London: Printed for Taylor and Hessey, 93 Fleet-Street; and 13, Waterloo Place, Pall Mall 1825, 1825. First Edition. 8vo. pp. xii, [iv], 404. 4pp. undated advertisements. Printed by Thomas Davison, Whitefriars on verso of the title-page. Nineteenth-century half yellow morocco, raised bands, marbled boards, spine decorated and lettered in gilt, top edge gilt, marbled endpapers. Bound by J.B.Hawes, Cambridge. � Fine Aids to Reflection is a collection of moral and religious aphorisms, with commentaries. Coleridge's purpose in this, his last major work of theology and philosophy, is to address his thought to the unspiritual but reflecting reader who is led from worldly-mindedness to the acceptance of spiritual religion. An excellent copy of this important if difficult work. �

About Voewood Rare Books
Simon Finch has been a Rare Book Dealer since 1980. He has had shops in Notting Hill Gate, Mayfair and Holt, Norfolk. His firm has handled a wide variety of material from the First Folio of Shakespeare to the wilder shores of the counterculture and everything in between. In 1998, Simon bought Voewood, one of the finest Arts and Crafts and houses and brought it back to life with an eight-year programme of renovation and restoration. Voewood Rare Books, which operates from Voewood, is the continuation for Simon of a long career in the book trade. It also represents an important link with the House. Voewood is always beautiful, surprising, mysterious and perhaps a little disorientating and we aim to bring something of this spirit to the bookshop. Whilst our focus in on the visual arts, literature and the counter-culture, we deal also in a broad range of antiquarian and modern rare books across all subject areas. Our collection can be found here at Biblio and on our website. We are open by appointment and can always be contacted by email.
