Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1949. Hardcover. Near fine/good +. Small quarto size, 311 pp., in dust jacket. Hermann Klaus Hugo Weyl (1885-1955) "had major significance for theoretical physics as well as purely mathematical disciplines such as number theory. He was one of the most influential mathematicians of the twentieth century, and an important member of the Institute for Advanced Study during its early years" (n.b., per Wiki).

This a revised and augmented edition, with new appendices "on such subjects as Foundations of Mathematics, Ars Combinatorioa, Quantum Mechanics, Physics and Biology, and Evolution..." (per jacket flap).

___DESCRIPTION: Bound in full green cloth over boards, "label" in black with gilt lettering stamped onto the spine, binding small quarto size (9 1/8" by 6 1/4"), 311 pp. In the publisher's dust jacket with a summary of the book on the front flap and publisher's ads on the back flap and back panel.

___CONDITION: Volume is near fine, the boards clean, straight corners with minimal rubbing, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, the sole prior owner marking being a name and date (and one other small annotation) at the top of the front free endpaper; light bumping to the head and tail of the spine and light toning to the margins of the text. The dust jacket somewhat better than good, while all parts are present and attached there is overall light soil, overall edgewear, the printed price was roughly torn out (not cleanly cut), and a ring on the verso of the front panel (not visible from the front).
