Swinden, Tobias (1659-1719)
An Enquiry into the Nature and Place of Hell.

London: Printed by H.P. for Tho. Astley, 1727.

Second edition, octavo, illustrated with two folding plates, bound in later half calf and textured cloth boards, unattractive and badly worn, a good candidate for a new binding; with eight pages of publisher's ads bound after the text; 7 3/4 x 4 7/8 in.

In his treatise on hell, Swinden writes under six headings, which include punishments in the next life, whether the fire of hell is metaphorical or real, and whether hell is at the center of the earth or perhaps the sun is our "local hell."
