Man a machine. Wherein the several systems of philosophers, in respect to the soul of man, are examin'd; The different States of the Soul are shewn to be co-relative to those of the Body; The Diversity between Men and other Animals, is proved to arise from the different Quantity and Quality of Brains; The Law of Nature is explained, as relative to the whole Animal Creation; The Immateriality of an Inward Principle is by Experiments and Observations exploded, And A full Detail is given of the several Springs which move the Human Machine. Translated from the French of Mons. de la Mettrie, A celebrated Physician of the Faculty at Paris, and Author of Penelope, or the Machiavel in Physic.
