Binding and hinges are strong and sound. Dry paper crack in edges of front gutter; no effect on integrity of hinges or binding.

The uncommon erratum slip is present. A solid, VG copy with noted flaws of a landmark title, first American edition, from 1833, by the man who essentially coined and popularized the term 'phrenology.'.
