Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, Uncommon, With Dustwrapper

The first edition of this work, an uncommon title.

An interesting study edited by Sir James Marchant on the influence of cinematography, especially on young people, with the possibilities of its development and with its adaptation to national educational purposes.

In two parts; Part I with the 'Primary Analysis of Essay Material,' 'Rote Memory and Intelligence,' 'Gains and Losses to Film Essays,' a 'Summary of Conclusion,' and the 'Percentage of Gains and Losses.' Part II with the 'Cinema Experiments Sub Committee's Report', 'Educational Films in America, FRance, and Other Countries,' and a 'Memorandum on the Cinema Act, 1909, and the Latest Statutory Regulations.' 

With the extremely scarce, unclipped dustwrapper. 

Condition

In the original publisher's cloth binding. Externally, excellent with only minor shelfwear and a slight bumping to the head and tail of the spine.
