THE RARE FIRST EDITION of ' de Rerum Varietate', and, according to Graesse, 'la seule qui n'ait pas ete inutilce'. It 

 forms a sequel to the tie Sultilitate, and, together with it, contains the author's notions on physics and metaphysics. ' Tlie 

 chief interest of the work consists in the hints and glimpses it affords of principles beyond the comprehension of the 

 writer himself. The inorganic realm of nature he asserts to be animated no less than the organic. The infinite variability 

 of species is implied,' etc. etc. etc. Ency. Brit.
