About This Item
London: L.Reeve & Co, 1871. 1st English ed. . Blue Cloth. VG/No Jacket. 14.5 Cm x 23 Cm. xlii+542, spare spine title label tipped in on rear pastedown; prev.owner's small 1974-dated sig. and small gilt label top front pastedown, otherwise clean, tight & unmark bar the odd small brown spot; covers appear to be an early private rebind of some kind, generally clean with good spine label but all moderately surface rubbed although virtually unworn to edges, spine ends and extremeties. Covers a very wide range of psychological topics from sensation and memory to reasoning and physiology, but actually not 'intelligence' as such in modern sense of a unitary quantifiable trait. That lay around three decades ahead. Note: quoted non-UK shipping rates are calculated for 500-700 gram net weight, cost will be modified up or down as appropriate outside this range.
