8vo. 28 pp. Upper cover preserves original green printed wrapper. Very rare, curious medical dissertation on physiognomy - in particular, how emotions and traits of character express themselves in the human face. The study of physiognomy is mainly associated with Charles Le Brun and Johann Kaspar Lavater in earlier centuries (and their approach resounds in the present dissertation), but it is well worth remembering that Charles Darwin made his principal contribution to human psychology with his book on "The Expression of Emotion in Animals and Men" as late as 1872, a study of genetically determined aspects of behaviour. - Some slight waterstaining to the top corner of the first few leaves. Apparently printed with a minimal press-run: no other copy traceable in library or collection catalogues internationally.
4to. (8), 237, (3) pp. Bound in contemporary 'carta rustica', faded manuscript title to spine. Rare first edition of this treatise on bread and bread-making, by the physician and naturalist Saverio Manetti (1723-85).

A separate section details the specifics of oriental bread - "Pane Etiopico, e Saracenico", and varieties "in grand' uso appresso l' Egitto" (pp. 148ff.). "This work precedes Parmentier's 'Parfait Boulanger' by 13 years" (Westbury). - Very lightly foxed, but a very good copy, uncut. With Lord Westbury's bookplate to front pastedown. Bitting 185 (1766 edition only, s.v. "Ginori"). Gamba 2328 (1768 ed. only). Re III, 103. Westbury 138-140.
