Rare second edition of Anthony Palmer’s theological work on the soul. Anthony Palmer, a distinguished English clergyman, rose to prominence in the mid-17th century. Educated at Oxford, he became a fellow of Balliol College and later served as the rector of Bourton in Gloucestershire. In 1662, he was expelled from his post for nonconformity. Following his ejection, Palmer led a congregation in London until his death in 1678.
