TWENTIETH CENTURY REPRINT OF CORNERSTONE PSYCHOLOGICAL TEXT

Encyclopedic in nature, completely unique in its philosophical and scientific literary style, and sprinkled with just enough satirical prodding, The Anatomy of Melancholy remains one of the most important contributions to the field of Psychology of the last 500 years. Originally published in 1621, this early twentieth century reprint features three neat and tight volumes, giving turn of the century Americans access to wisdom from the seventeenth century.
