Hardcover, original boards with restored spine, original spine label reattached, engraved frontispiece, untrimmed edges, 451 pp. + [1] ad; plates I, II, IV, V (the latter two are maps). Wear to edges of boards, but spine restoration has made this copy sturdy and attractive. Feinaigle (1760-1819) was attacked in the press, but his methods of memorization gained scores of adherents. His topical system was similar to that of the ancient Greeks.

Shipping terms
Apologies to international customers. Abebooks REQUIRES a signature confirmation for claims. So, we cannot mail regular post. Our shipping rates are therefore "outrageous" but you can contact us for a direct order if you are okay with a simple tracking number as proof of delivery.
