About this Item

A very scarce work of phrenology by Armand Harembert. With a folding plate tucked in. Two first editions of these phrenological works by Armand Harembert. With large folding plate, here found loose. The pseudoscience of phrenology involves the measuring bumps on the skull to predict mental or personality traits, and in this work, Harembert introduces a number of techniques to measure the human skull. As well as applying his new methods to general human psychology, Harembert also explores its relation to criminal psychology. It is unknown whether the folding plate was at one time bound in, or sold separately. Rebound in a quarter calf binding over patterned boards. Externally, generally smart. Very lightly rubbed to the boards and the joints. The spine label has a tiny chip to the top right corner, and the spine is missing a slither of calf to the head. Rather bumped and worn to the extremities. The front and rear hinges are starting, but firm. Internally, generally firmly bound, although the gutter is visible between pages 30 an 31. Pages are bright and lightly foxed throughout. Very Good. Seller Inventory # 863N18
