Harper & Row, 1966. First edition, first printing cloth bound hardcover with dust jacket of Cartesian Linguistics: A Chapter in the History of Rationalist Thought by Noam Chomsky.

"Through an examination of the theories of language developed in the 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries and their intellectual backgrounds, the author demonstrates the remarkable relevance of Cartesian linguistics to recent developments in linguistics and cognitive psychology."

Good condition. Slashes to the back cover dust jacket and back cover cloth as if by razor. The cloth is not cut through like the dust jacket. Isolated corner tear to the rear fly leaf. Light spotting to the top of the page block. Dust jacket protected in mylar covering (slashes go through the mylar as well). Small isolated pencil marking inside the back cover. Solid copy with great binding and clean pages.
