About this Item

Red white-lettered cloth, corners bumped but main problem is extensive blotchy pigment loss to front which would reduce its rating to Good-. f/piece (portrait photo of author wearing mortar-board with ruler in hand hat examining skull) + 188 + (4, 3 notices of her other books and press puffs), 46 line figs. to first part, 30 portrait image plates to part 2 ex-pagination, nearly all photos; internally very good. Undated but presumably Edwardian, a web search hit suggested this publisher issued nothing after 1900, but this includes an image of King Edward VII plus Ellen Terry, Henry Irving and Sarah Bernhardt as well as Edward Marshall Hall K.C., M.P. who only became an M.P. in 1900. One of the better Phrenology books from its later period and free of usual hackneyed images which had been around since the 1920.s. Apparently very scarce. 14 cm x 19 cm.
