Lowell, Marion

Harmonic gymnastics and pantomimic expression

Boston: Marion Lowell, 1895. First edition, 8vo, pp. 368; original orange cloth; spine with small hole affecting 2 letters in the titling; mild toning, very good and sound. Quite a thesis, deserving of interpretation. "Harmonic gymnastics consist of a series of physical exercises, the aim of which is to perfectly fit the organization to meet all the demands of expression, both in nature and in art. This system of gymnastics promotes the physical conditions essential to perfect freedom of action, at the same time that it imbues the whole nervous system within instinctive obedience to those natural laws which govern the element of charm in action."
