Full title - THE STUDY OF HEALTH: A NEW AND ORIGINAL MEDICO-PHYSIOLOGICAL WORK, ON THE PHYSIOLOGY OF THE PASSIONS; ILLUSTRATIVE OF THE RISE, PROGRESS, ATTAINMENT, AND DECLINE OF THE HUMAN REPRODUCT[IV]E POWERS, PORTRAY THE RESULTS OF YOUTH[FU]L IMPROVIDENCES, THE INDISCRETIONS OF MATURE AGE, AND THE FOLLIES OF ADVANCED LIFE. BY R.J. CULVERWELL, M.D. . . . FROM THE THIRTY-SECOND LONDON EDITION. (missed type represented by bracketed letters) 156 pages. Hardcover: H 11.6cm x L 7.6cm. Contemporary dark cloth; boards rubbed and stained with worn corners; chipping to spine ends; some flaking to spine's gilt stamping but all still easily legible. Some toning and staining to early leaves; mid-1800s style Philadelphia bookseller ticket for W.A. Leary & Co.'s Cheap Book Store at front pastedown's upper left; moisture staining to rear leaves with strongest occurrences on rear endpapers; some loss to rear flyleaf; rear free endpaper verso has ten-line inscription in antiquarian ink. Binding remains firm. No publishing date specified; OCLC indicates circa 1876 but the book's binding and paper makes such a late date improbable. Two different websites offer conflicting information regarding W.A. Leary & Company but, as best as it can be reconciled, it seems that the firm had the "company" designation from 1849-1852 (previously being W.A. Leary 1839-1849 and post-1852 being partnered with Francis W. Getz). The firm had four different locations during its twenty-four year existence but only operated at 138 N. 2nd Street from 1849-1856.
