About this Item

343 pp, 16 (I make it) double-sided plates ex-pagination, num.text figs - graphs and family trees; sm.gilt ownership label top fr.pastedown, inscribed on front blank fly: Green cloth cover. 'To/A.F.Dufton/Compliments of/ Caspar L. Redfield/ March 8 1934'. no further internal markings and otherwise clean & tight; covers clean and minimally worn; 3 slipped in journal reprints inc. a two-arter from Clinical Medicine 1924/1925 on 'Producing a Superior Race', the other undated. His name on t.p. has followed by '[37]' - similar suffixes to names on plates indicate this was his age at the time. A curiously self-inflated contribution to Eugenics, with a lengthy appendix of birth & death dates of famous persons. Something Galtonian about his whole approach. Note: quoted non-UK shipping rates are calculated for 500-700 gram net weight, cost will be modified up or down as appropriate outside this range.
