F.J. Gall advances science and phrenology

Item Details

Description

Heading:
Author: Gall, Franz Joseph and Johann Gaspar Spurzheim
Title: Anatomie et Physiologie du Système Nerveux en Général, et du Cerveau en Particulier...
Place Published: Paris
Publisher:F. Schoell
Date Published: 1810-19
Description:

4 volumes + atlas. [4], lix, [1], 352; [4], 466, [2]; [6], xxxiii, [3], 372; [6], 404 pp. Text in French. Folio atlas comprised of 100 engraved plates 52x33 cm (20½x13"). (4to) 29x21.5 cm (11½x8½"), re-backed tree calf, spines tooled and lettered in gilt, morocco lettering pieces, all edges marbled, marbled endpapers. Atlas bound in re-backed tree calf, morocco lettering piece on spine. First Edition.

Franz Joseph Gall (1758-1828) "introduced the theory of localization of cerebral function, although in a somewhat fantastic form. This pioneer attempt to map out the cerebral cortex according to function gave rise to the pseudo-science of phrenology. The work also contains some important additions to the knowledge of cerebral anatomy." Garrison & Morton 1389.

Due to the size and/or weight of this lot extra shipping and/or handling charges may apply.

Condition

Rubbing at spine ends and extremities with some fraying at heel of Vol. 4; mild foxing; plates show light wear with a bit of foxing; Atlas volume with joints starting and rubbing at extremities; very good overall.
