Description
New York: Simon & Schuster, 1955. First edition. Near Fine/Near Fine. A Near Fine copy in like dust jacket. Book spine slightly cocked and boards with minor soiling, but clean and unmarked internally. Price-clipped dust jacket is bright and pleasing, with spine just a bit toned. A handsome copy of a charming book. A classic work of children's literature, featuring the precocious and adventurous Eloise. A six-year-old girl living among adults at the Plaza Hotel, Thompson's heroine is "not yet pretty but she is already a Person. Henry James would want to study her. Queen Victoria would recognize her as an Equal...she is interested in People when they are not boring." So iconic that a portrait of her hangs in the Plaza Hotel dining room, Eloise has inspired children for three generations (with many more to come!). Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket.

Description
Paris: Bailliere, 1840. FIRST EDITION. Frontispiece lithographed portrait. Contemporary calf-backed marbled boards, edges sprinkled red, green silk markers; a little foxed, otherwise a nice set. First edition, an exhaustive forensic analysis of mental illness. In the first volume, the author, a French psychiatrist who specialized in monomania, presents a historical and contemporary account of the role of insanity in jurisprudence, distinguishing different types of mental illness and their effects. The second volume describes specific manias and their tendency to lead to criminal activity, such as obsession with homicide and suicide, kleptomania, pyromania, and addiction to drugs and alcohol; this text provides the first clear description of kleptomania and pyromania. Marc (1771-1840) was first physician to King Louis-Philippe in 1830 and was elected as a member of the Academy of Medicine. He often acted as an expert witness in criminal court.
