2005. (Hardcover in slipcase) Fine, no dust jackets. 548, 325, 586pp. Three volumes of marbled paper over black cloth with gilt lettering and decorations to the spine in near fine slipcase. Top edge stained red, tables, notes, glossary, index. The slipcase is lightly rubbed. "This book is very long. What's more, like the book Alice's sister was reading on that famous summer afternoon, it has no picures or conversation in it. To add to the drawbacks, parts of it are in Latin. And finally, as if that wasn't bad enough, it is founded on totally outdated notions of anatomy, physiology, psychology, cosmology, and just about every other -logy there ever was. So what on earth makes it worth reading today?" - from the Introduction. Edited by Holbrook Jackson. Introduction by Philip Pullman. (Sets, Depression, Emotions, Meaning--Philosophy, Medicine, Philosophers, Spirituality, Thought).
