Description

The Natural History of Thought
In Its Practical Aspect - From its Origin in Infancy

Written by George Wall, F.L.S., F.R.A.S.
 

London: Trubner & Co., 1887
 

Though the title is rather pretentious, Wall's book is more of a treatise on how to think, or rather, how to think properly. It is, essentially, an early and rather philosophical self-improvement guide.  Wall was an amateur philosopher and a member of the Royal Astronomical Society. He made his living running tea plantations in Ceylon (Sri Lanka).

Bound in ruled green cloth boards with gilt-stamped spine titles. Yellow endpapers. 416 pages with appendix. 9" x 6".
