FIRST EDITION
.
“Pathomyotomia is the scarcest and most crudely printed of Bulwer’s books . . .
presenting a systematic head-to-toe survey of the physiological bases of human expressive
behaviour and the relationship between sensation, images, and skilled actions. He skirts the
philosophical issue of mind-body relations but conveys a picture of the entire body as a signify-
ing system” (ODNB). Norman 371; Rieber & Gach 78; Wing B5468.
