4 essays in German, 2 in French, the rest in English.
Ex-lib. London Day Training College: generally poor to fair condition: no dustjacket; the boards are frayed at the corners and the backstrip of the spine is completely detached on one side and partially on the other, though the binding itself is sound; text pages are rather yellowed, but there are uncut folios throughout, so the book has apparently not been heavily used; appears free of marking.This item £25.00
