CARUS, CARL GUSTAV (1789-1869), - Symbolik der menschlichen Gestalt: Ein Handbuch der Menschenkenntnis.
Leipzig: F. A. Brockhaus, 1853. 1st Printing. [iii]-xiv+371+[1]pp. 150 woodcuts in the text. Contemporary marbled boards with gilt-stamnped green cloth spine. Spine dull, some wear to the corners, sheets moderately foxed, about a very good copy. Quite uncommon. The foundation text for the modern study of character and temperament, a second edition of which appeared in 1858. In opposition to Gall, Carus maintained that he was concerned with functions, not faculties. He attempted here to construct an interpretive chart of human physique and motor expression, assigning symbolic values to each of the organs. Klages, the most important 20th century characterologist, rediscovered Carus and had this republished in 1925. Roback Psychology of Character, 3rd edition (1952), pp. 94-95. 14.9 ounces = 425 grams. 8.6 x 5.4 x 1.0 inches = 21.5 x 13.5 x 2.5cm. Binding: HB.
