Finely Bound In Polished Blue Calf, Four Raised Bands Decorated In Gilt, Morocco Spine Label, Blind-Stamped Compartments, Covers With Four Sets Of Gilt Border Rules With Ornate Gilt Embellishments At Corners Of Two Central Sets Of Rules, All Edges Gilt, Finely Hand-Marbled End Papers, Four Wavy Gilt Lines On All Turns. Binding Worn, Page Block Neatly Detached From Binding, No Chips Or Tears, Could Be Nicely Refurbished. Unfortunately Peace Literature Does Not Start With A Statement Of What A Government Should Hold Truly Essential And Non-Negotiable In Any Peace Negotiation, Nor Discusses What Is Negotiable To The Benefit Of The Other Party; Rather, Peace Literature Is Like Rules For A Playtime Tea. This Is Fitting As The Grown-Ups, And The Government, Just Want To Remain In Charge, While Looking Good, Although Actually Having No Articulable Principles (Applicable To Both Parties) To State Because They Know No Other Way To Achieve Popularity Or At Least Incumbency.

"The singular structure and delicate formation of the human hair - the analysis of its several properties and peculiarities - the causes of its varied colors - the wonderful and rapid changes in them - the best method to remedy them when displeasing - the elucidation of the different diseases to which the hair is liable - the surest means of preventing or effectually eradicating them - the means of preserving and beautifying the hair - and evincing how a full growth should be appreciated as conductive to health and additional to beauty - were the primary objects of my unwearied investigations, physiological studies and practical experience" (from the author's preface). "By the second quarter of the nineteenth century, white Americans had largely naturalized a gender binary for hair length: men's hair was naturally short, and women's hair was naturally long. This transformation of a stylistic choice into a biological fact bridged the bodily logics of both humoral medicine (in its decline) and empirical medicine (in its ascent). Hairdresser Thomas Bogue's 1841 scientific treatise on hair exemplifies the former. 'The beauty of long hair,' he wrote, 'has, from time immemorial, been viewed as a highly prized ornament'; this ornament belonged almost exclusively to women because 'the length of the hair is greatly increased by the abundance of the phlegmatic matter with which it is continually supplied, and causes it to augment to a great degree; there is more of this moisture predominant in women than men' (Editorial Staff, Harvard University Press: "The Culture of Hair in Nineteenth-Century America").
