Item description from seller

Frontispiece, x, 278 pp. Original cloth. Book a little bowed. Corners of covers worn. First Edition in English of Garrison-Morton 1457 (citing 1st Latin ed., 1834) and Garrison-Morton 1459 (citing 1st German ed., 1846). "Weber was the first to draw the attention of physiologists to the skin as the seat of differentiated sense organs directed toward the external world, like other sensory organs. . . . His research had many philosophical implications and a great impact on further studies of skin senses and some general problems of sensation by physiologists and psychologists. He began a very fruitful period in the research on senses and is rightly considered as one of the founders of psychophysics. His work on tactile sensation has become classic" (D.S.B. 14: 201).
