With thirty pages of handwritten notes detailing the O'Dell's findings, to the rear of the work, with information relating to 'Size of Head', 'Self-Esteem', 'Hope' and more.Gaining popularity in the late nineteenth century, this psychological theory is now largely criticised, with modern MRI studies taken place to disprove it.

Externally, excellent, with light marking to the cloth, including some small puncture marks, heavier to the rear. Ink inscription to front endpaper. Internally, firmly bound.
