About This Item
New York: John Wiley & Son, 1872. Early printing, 1872, originally published 1861. By the author of Notes of Travels among the North American Indians. Illustrated with line drawings by the author. Stresses the ills of breathing through one's mouth during sleep rather than through the nose as the author observed during his time with the Mandans and other Native American tribes. Green cloth printed in gilt, 76 pages plus one page appendix. Unusual printing for this time period in that the letters S are printed in a stylized manner that makes them appear similar to Fs, as is more prevalent in books prior to 1800. Wear to spine ends, some black spotting to front cover, good hinges, sound text block, lightly age-toned but clean pages, no names or other markings.. Hard Cover. Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
