Antique 1881 Danish Philosophy Book – Om Størst Udbytte af Sjælsevner by Ludvig

An exceptional and increasingly uncommon first-era Danish philosophical work published in Copenhagen in 1881, this original edition of Om Størst Udbytte af Sjælsevner (“On the Greatest Benefit of the Powers of the Soul”) was written by renowned Danish philosopher and psychologist Ludvig Feilberg.
Feilberg devoted much of his life to studying human thought, emotion, self-awareness, and personal development. His writings later influenced Scandinavian psychology, philosophy, and literature, making his earliest publications highly desirable among collectors of European intellectual history.
This beautifully preserved volume retains its original decorative publisher’s cloth binding with gilt title, red page edges, and crisp typography throughout. The elegant Victorian binding alone makes it a wonderful display piece for a library, study, or antique book collection.

Why This Book Is Special
Unlike common Victorian books, this volume represents an important early work in Scandinavian psychology and philosophy. Original nineteenth-century Feilberg editions are encountered far less frequently than many English-language philosophical works, making them appealing to collectors seeking unusual European publications.
Every antique book offered by Rescued & Reimagined Relics is individually researched for authenticity, historical significance, rarity, and current collector demand before being added to our collection. Rather than relying solely on broad marketplace averages, we evaluate comparable offerings, condition, scarcity, and historical importance to establish a fair retail value.
