Hardcover. Zustand: Good+ for Age. 1st ed. endpaper+unfolding chart refered to in title, c.52 cms long (4 folds, this almost detached)+t.p.+viii+45, numerous text figs, many showing different nose, ear etc. shapes or physiognomic profiles; leaf vii-viii disbound, end-gutters cracked. Blind-stamped red cloth covers fairly clean but some cloth loss along lower fore-edges, darkening to top front, 3 small holes in unlettered spine, front has gilt logo of hand holding a uroboric snake encircling a butterfly with 'Psychoneurology' above it. Will try to re-affix disbound leaf and chart with archival transparent tear-repair tape when ordered (unless instructed otherwise). Definitely one of the odder phrenology/physiognomy productions. The grandiosity of Stothard's aspirations is perhaps indicated by a declaration I have just spotted at the foot of the chart 'None perfect unless Stamped' - and indeed there is a small oval impressed stamp 'The Catholicon. R.E.Stothard 18' plus inked number '65' completing date. Note: quoted non-UK shipping rates are calculated for 500-700 gram net weight, cost will be modified up or down as appropriate outside this range.
