FECHNER, GUSTAV THEODOR (1801-1887), - Sachen der Psychophysik.

Leipzig: Breitkopf & Hartel, 1877. 1st Edition. viii+219+[1]pp. Drab brown wrappers (original?). An entirely unopened, pretty copy, though it isn't clear that the wrappers are original (Haskell Norman's copy was in printed green wrappers). Scarce. Enclosed in an amateurish black paper-covered cardboard folder (probably done by Shakow), which, though inelegant, does serve to protect the book itself. Weight of the book alone is 301 grams (approximately 10.6 oz). Norman Catalog #775. 15.2 ounces = 432 grams. 9.1 x 5.8 x 0.5 inches = 22.8 x 14.5 x 1.3cm. With David Shakow's bookplate, ink signature to the front wrapper, and with his printed legend "Fechner - Psychophysik" to the bottom of the spine. Shakow (1901-1981) was one of the architects of modern clinical psychology. Norman Catalog: "Fechner returned to the subject of psychophysics in the last decade of his life in an attempt to respond to the controversy generated around his methods and concepts. His publications during this period were instrumental in securing the ground on which Wundt ... would later build his experimental psychology." . Binding: PB.
