Beschreibung

First edition. Tall 8vo., full contemporary calf, x, (2), (1)-135pp. With an engraved frontispiece. Outer hinges rubbed with a short split in the gutter of the rear hinge but in fact a better than very good copy. This very intelligent, practical, popular, and at the same time a scientific work, upon a subject which daily increases in interest, in proportion to the increasing prevalence of female deformities in the middle and upper ranks of society, arising from an erroneous system of education; or, we may rather say, from the absurd methods employed to prevent deformities, and produce elegance of shape and carriage, which very methods are certain to produce precisely the opposite effects to what is intended.
