About this Item

xix++405+(4, inc.Combe list); prev.owner's 1971-dated sig. and gilt label top outer corner front pastedown, a few trivial brown flecks to half-title, t.p., and marginally, intermittently, through to p.xvi, then very occ. in margins elsewhere, two short marginal tears closed top half title and other closed bottom p.ix. front gutter thinly open but quite secure, otherwise clean, tight and unmarked; covers generally quite sound but widespread, though slight, surface rubbing and spine ends rubbed. This 9th edition is the last version of Combe's most successful work, a brief version of which first appeared in 1826, he died in the early stages of preparing this edition and the editors incorporated changes to Preface and Introductory Remarks, along with making other slight changes for the sake of consistency with these or as otherwise required. Best remembered as an advocate of Phrenology, this topic figures relatively little in this work. Apparently very scarce. Despite faults a quite acceptable copy in original binding and not of institutional provenance. Note: quoted shipping rates are calculated for 500-700 gram net weight, cost will be modified up or down as appropriate outside this range. Size: 13 Cm x 19.5 Cm.
