The Constitution of Man – George Combe – 1871

An 1871 edition of this important book published by MacLachlan and Stewart, Edinburgh. Over 350 page in very good condition still tight in its original cloth binding with rich dark green endpapers.

George Combe (1788-1858) was an ardent phrenologist and writer. Born in Edinburgh he founded the Edinburgh Phrenological Society in 1820. He led the field there for over twenty years and this was his great work.

Originally a lawyer with a successful practice. In 1816 Johann Spurzheim came to Edinburgh and Combe was invited to a private dissection of the human brain which greatly impressed him. This spurred him on to make his own investigations and he was satisfied that the fundamental principles of phrenology were sound, namely “that the brain is the organ of the mind; that the brain is an aggregate of several parts, each subserving a distinct mental faculty; and that the size of the cerebral organ is, caeteris paribus, and index of power or energy of function”.

Many of the principles set out in The Constitution of Man would challenge modern morality.

The Microscope by Hogg – 1867

Another great mid-Victorian book on the microscope by Jabez Hogg who was President of the medical Microscopical Society and a leading Ophthalmic Surgeon of hid day. Published by Routledge, London.

This is the sixth edition 1867 still in its rather grand red cover. Intact and firm binding, unusual for such a thick book from that period. Over 750 pages and over 500 illustrations some in colour.

Superb history of the development of the instrument and in terms of application excellent chapters on various natural history subjects and mineralogy as well as superior content on histology as might be expected given the authors background

A sizeable body of work well executed and collectable
