Engraved title pages. Vol. 1-2 also have printed t.p., with imprints: W. Locke ... [s.d.]-1793.

Vol. 2-3 constitute v. 2, and vol. 4 constitutes v. 3 of earlier ed.

Translation of: Physiognomische Fragmente.

Copy 1 Vol. 1 Note: Vol. i is a reissue from previous ed. Vol. 'iv' is vol. iii of preceding, partly reset and with Lavater's dedication ommitted. Volume signatures remain as 'iii' but t.p. and spine have 'iv'; a pencilled note inside the cover states '4 vols.' and Graham and Lowndes mention a 4-vol. ed. of 1797. The content of the above volumes is substantially unchanged and the plates are included; if there are two missing volumes, they must have been formed from the original vol. ii--by division--or, less probably, by enlargement. However, it is also possible that the plates were sometimes issued separately with the 'vol. iv' t.p. and that its appearance in a copy of vol. iii is the result of a binder's error.
