Beschreibung

Vol.1: 461 pp.; tanning to front endpapers, pastedown and otherblank end leaves, but while widespread this is not too intense, t.p.margins also slightly affected, top outer corner of front endpaper torn off and an extremely faint early signature centre of same, otherwise internally clean, tight and unmarked, end-gutters good, attractive covers have a blind-stamped floral design, black gilt-lettered spine label, slight splitting to tops of joints but these not serious and a cross-tear below top has been securely closed; Vol.2.: 468 pp. (last one miss-set as 648), internally virtually identical to Vol.1, inc.tiny sig. (a tad clearer); covers again generally good but 2 cm. chip across top spine and very thin incipient split to lower front joint, though this appears quite secure, both Vols covers are surprisingly clean for age but spines and edges all somewhat faded. Upham's most successful work which went through over 50 editions with a revised 2 volume edition as late as 1869. The pre-1840 editions are the most historically important and this one seems especially scarce. The t.p.'s have 'Second edition' and Vol.1 has an 1837-dated 5-page Preface, which strongly indicates that it is not just a re-issue of the 1832 printing. Pagination is actually less than that of 1831 & 1832 editions but this may be due to resetting in larger format - I do not have copies of these to compare. Vol.1 includes a final Part Third on 'Imperfect and Disordered Intellectual Action' which has coverage of insanity, idiocy, hysteria etc. Size: 14.5 Cm x 23.5 cm.
