[FECHNER, GUSTAV THEODOR (1801-1887)], Stapelia Mixta.
Von Dr. Mises. Leipzig: Bei Leopold Voss, 1824. 1st Edition. viii+205+[3]pp. A few text diagrams. Small octavo. Contemporary marbled boards with marbled endpapers; with mid-20th century polished maroon leather spine with gilt dentelles and green leather spine label. Boards rubbed, lightly foxed throughout. A very good copy with the 19th century bookplate and ink signature to the title-page and verso of the marbled front flyleaf of a Thomas Hun (about whom we've been able to find nothing). Scarce. 9.0 ounces = 256 grams. 7.4 x 4.4 x 0.7 inches = 18.5 x 11 x 1.7cm. Fechner's fourth book, written while he was mostly still interested in physics and under the sway of Naturphilosophie, is an anthology of wide-ranging essays (from cooking to aesthetics and the definition of life). Three or four essays relate to Fechner's later psychological work, the most notable being the last, which deals with the derivation of organic laws from spatial symbols ("Versuch einer Entwicklung des Organisationsgetzes aus dem raumlichen Symbol"). It is here that Fechner articulated some of his earliest ideas on the nature of the nervous system and its molding of the conscious self. Binding: HB.
