A dignitary of some kind welcomed us and we were plied with small cups of excellent tea…” . (A.O.P. Nicholson). unknown

Garrison & Morton Vorrede: "Die Lehre von der Lähmung der unteren Extremitäten ist ungeachtet mancher darüber erschienener zum Theil sehr schätzbarer Abhandlungen und einer grossen Zahl bekannt gemachter Fälle noch sehr lückenhaft und daran gewiss nicht nur die Schwierigkeit und seltene Gelegenheit Rückgratshöhlen zu öffnen sondern auch vorzugsweise die sich widersprechenden Resultate der Leichenöffnungen der an Rückenmarkskrankheiten Verstorbenen Schuld. Unter diesen Umständen dürfte es vielleicht nicht ganz ohne Interesse seyn wenn ich mir erlaube in folgenden Blättern eine Reihe von während 11 Jahren in meiner Heilanstalt gemachten Beobachtungen über eine Art von Paralyse der unteren Gliedmassen zusammen zu stellen und zu versuchen ob sich hiebei nicht Andeutungen über diese sowohl in ihrer primären als secundären Natur noch wenig bekannte Krankheit ableiten lassen. Erhält indessen die Wissenschaft selbst durch diese kleine Arbeit auch keinen grossen Gewinn so bleibt mir jeden Falls das angenehme Bewusstseyn das herbe Schicksal einer Anzahl unglücklicher Wesen erleichtert zu haben Wesen welche oft kaum der Mutter Schoos entsprossen und sich bereits eines hoffnungsvollen Gedeihens erfreuend durch ein unglückliches Geschick wieder in ihr erstes hülfloses Daseyn zurückgeworfen wurden."

Diese umfangreiche Beschreibung gibt nicht nur eine detaillierte Beschreibung der Säge mit allen ihren Einzelteilen ihrer Wartung und Schärfung sondern stellt auch in weiteren Kapiteln den praktischen Gebrauch in folgenden Kapitel vor: Allgemeine Operationen: Sägen mit der Spitze; Sägen in gerader Linie; Sägen in einer krummen Linie. Anwendung der des Instrumentes bey verschiedenen Operationen: Trepanationen; Resection Excission Decapitation und Amputatiuon. Ferner berichtet Bernhard Heine 1800-1846 "Beym Operiren mit meinem Instrument braucht man im Durchschnitt höchstens nur der Zeit die bey Anwendung der gewöhnlichen Sägen &c. erforderlich ist. Die Resection der Dornfortsätze und Bögen der Wirbelsäule mit der Hay'schen Säge dürfte wohl 1 -2 Stunden Zeit und viele Mühe erfordern; ich habe indes die Operation ganz bequem in einer viertel Stunde ausgeführt."

Green Leatherette boards.</p><ul><li><p><strong>We provide an in-depth photographic presentation of this item to stimulate your feeling and touch. More traditional book descriptions are immediately available.</strong></p></li></ul><p>A well bound book which suffers from a little internal spotting.</p><p>The Book of Songs was Heinrich Heine's first large volume of poetry in which he brought together all of his poems known at the time. The first edition was published in 1827 in Hamburg by Hoffmann and Campe .</p><p>The Book of Songs includes Heine's early work with poems from 1817 to 1826. It took almost twenty years until the second large volume of poetry Neue Gedichte was published in 1844 the third and last volume Romanzero followed in 1851. There is not much of the political satire that is typical of Heine's later works such as in Deutschland. Ein Wintermärchen in the Book of Songs . Instead 142 of the 237 poems deal with unhappy love . Heine's feelings for his cousin Amalie and later for her sister Therese 1807–1880 who was seven years younger than him both daughters of Salomon Heine are cited as an explanation for this. Heine commented on this interpretation in a letter to Karl Immermann dated 10 June 1823:</p><p>"Only one thing that can hurt me most painfully is when someone tries to explain the spirit of my poems from history you know what that word means from the history of the author. It hurt me deeply and bitterly when I saw yesterday in a letter from an acquaintance how he wanted to construct my entire poetic being from hastily put-together stories and made unpleasant statements about life impressions political position religion etc. If something similar had been said publicly I would have been quite outraged and I am heartily glad that it never happened. However easily the history of a poet could provide information about his poem however easily it could actually be proven that political position religion private hatred prejudice and considerations often influenced his poem one should never mention this especially not during the poet's lifetime. One deflowers the poem as it were one tears apart its mysterious veil if the influence of history which one demonstrates is actually present; one disfigures the poem if one has mistakenly put it in. And how little often does the external framework of our story fit with our real internal story! For me at least it never fits."</p><p>The Book of Songs also contains political poems. For example Donna Clara is a critique of contemporary anti-Semitism .The most famous poems include The Grenadiers The Loreley "I don't know what it should mean" In the beautiful month of May The old evil songs and Belsatzar .</p><p>Christian Johann Heinrich Heine German: born Harry Heine; 13 December 1797 – 17 February 1856 was a German poet writer and literary critic. He is best known outside Germany for his early lyric poetry which was set to music in the form of Lieder art songs by composers such as Robert Schumann and Franz Schubert. Heine's later verse and prose are distinguished by their satirical wit and irony. He is considered a member of the Young Germany movement. His radical political views led to many of his works being banned by German authorities—which however only added to his fame. He spent the last 25 years of his life as an expatriate in Paris.</p> Perlag von Carl Krabbe. hardcover

1856176559Washington.: A.O.P. Nicholson. circa1856. Tinted lithograph 15 x 22.5 cm 22 x 28.8 cm sheet edges a little soiled and creased but the image in very good condition; a vivid impression. Fine detailed view by Wilhelm Heine rendered on the spot "from nature" the lithograph with beautifully rendered tonal contrast prepared for Commodore Perry's "Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan.". In March 1854 Perry had won access to the Japanese ports of Shimoda and Hakodate for American vessels with the sigining of the Kanagawa Treaty effectively beginning a process of opening Japan to the West. This fine lithograph is particularly appealing for the depiction of two cultures amiably interacting despite Perry's gunboat diplomacy with the charming added detail of a dog pausing on its way. .
