About this Item

Undated but c. after 1897 when Shillling Guides we introduced (actually in 1896 but with Bowden as 3rd pub.name, dropped in 1897) Yellow cloth with black lettering and decoration to sp. and both boards; trivial hint of rubbing to bottom sp. otherwise clean and unworn, near Fine. pub.lists to both endpapers and paste-dons, t.p. with central pub. logo + 240 (to v. in roman) + (14, pub.list); modern book-plae tipped onto verso fr. end-paper; untanned with no obvious internal faults. Apparently scarce. This essentially a reprint of the 1797 1st English ed. with added notes, 1st German -1796. Hufeland was very eminent German physician, pioneer of macrobiotics (and the word Makrobiotik receded the the rest of the title in original edition). .12 cm x 18 cm.
