Library REBIND, library stamps/marks/labels/pocket, light cock, light tone, otherwise light wear. Solid hardcover.; "It would seem strange that so little attention has ever been paid to classify women, as a naturalist does, by his specimens, dissection, or research into their nature. What are called 'types' not only indicate forms on which our notions of beauty are based, but also the co-existent attributes, such as ways, manners, methods of life appertaining and peculiar to each. An investigation into the latter of these will be the attempt of this work. ... The ancients founded the three great prototypes, handed down to us in the writings as well as in their masterly works of art, and so created standard divisions, or families, each per se having its own characteristics of form, feelings, and attributes." - Introduction. ; Ex-Library; x, 366 pages.
