A propos de cet article

See photos for condition details. Hardcover, original dark green patterned cloth boards, gilt text on spine. Exterior shows wrinkling and bumping as well as wear. Rear board has possible dampstain and large split to the cloth along the spine edge. Yellow end pages and front and rear, front pastedown and end page has pencil markings and signatures, second end page has an additional two signatures all showing the owner as Henry Robinson (not able to verify if this is the same person as Henry R. Robinson). All essays show the same publisher and copyright on the title pages. Various degrees of foxing is present throughout but binding is securing for the text pages. Front hinge is cracked and rear hinge is starting. This book contains seven different essays by various authors, with the full titles being as follows: "The Constitution Of Man Considered In Relation To External Objects" (61 pp.) by George Combe / "Essays In A Series Of Letters, On The Following Subjects: On A Man's Writing Memoirs Of Himself. On Decision Of Character. On The Application Of Epithet Romantic. On Some Of The Causes By Which Evangelical Religion Has Been Rendered Less Applicable To Persons Of Cultivated Taste." (133 pp.) by John Foster / "The Philosophy Of Sleep" and "Anatomy Of Drunkenness" (96 pp.) both by Robert MacNish / "Influence Of Literature Upon Society" and “Reflections of Suicide” (113 pp.) by Madame de Stael-Holstein / "Treatise On Self-knowledge; Showing In Nature And Benefit Of That Important Science, And The Way To Attain It: Intermixed With Various Reflections And Observations On Human Nature" (43 pp.) by John Mason. All essays show the same publisher and location but no where is there a copyright date. Preface is dated 1828 but this is the case for all printings of this collection and the publisher, Silas Andrus & Son, was not in business until 1831. Estimated publication date to be 1835 as later editions released by this publisher listed a date on the bottom of the title page.…
