Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good. In good to very good condition, red cloth boards with black edging and gilt titles to front. Some discolouration to board edges. Small stamp of Gall-Spurz-Combe, East Sheen, (presumably something to do with the author of the Definitions of Mental Faculties) to the front end paper, otherwise clean apar…t from the hand written entries by Stackpool O'Dell. A fully completed example of this booklet with 30 hand written pages to the rear, giving the character and advice for the future for one rather wayward youth, a William Barclay. This example certainly gives the implication that O'Dell may well have had the benefit of the Fathers opinion (or rather lack of it) of his Son before compiling his report. The results are certainly disparaging and recommend banishment abroad to work on the plantations should the callow youth not buckle down immediately to some sort of profession. Fascinating reading.
