Decorative gilt-stamped maroon cloth; extremities rubbed corners bumped small white circle on spine. Else very good. FIRST BRISISH EDITION. "The inn has played a large part in the domestic life of England down the centuries. Always intimately associated with the characteristics of the English people as a center for social life it still retains a warm place in their hearts. The story of the tavern therefore is associated with the tale of the road and English wayfaring life. Love of travel is a strong characteristic of the English race yet it co-exists with a feeling for home comforts and a desire to be reminded of familiar things. Thus it is from the earliest times that the inn in spite of its widened functions has at each stage of its development retained the piquant element of domesticity. The old inns of England are unlike those of other countries. The majority are genuine survivals; they are records of other times and customs and they have a symbolic value for the ordinary traveler. They are generally simple in character but many have undergone alterations and changes corresponding with each era of social progress. The inns of each period especially such as remain intact and unaltered could be described in any treatise dealing with the recognized phases of house building; collectively they present a subject for a monograph . . ." -From the preface B.T.

Corners worn and a bit bumped. Previous owner's name on the front endpaper and pages a bit age toned. Overall in VERY GOOD condition. Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson October 1828 November 21 1896 was an eminent British physician anaesthetist physiologist sanitarian and a prolific writer on medical history. He was the recipient of the Fothergill gold medal awarded by the Medical Society of London in 1854 and of the Astley Cooper triennial prize for an essay in physiology. He was a close personal friend and professional colleague of John Snow. On Snow's sudden death he took over the final editing of Snow's draft On Chloroform and Other Anaesthetics and supervised its publication in 1858. Ward Richardson remained a committed exponent of Snow's radical views on the microbial cause of infectious disease for the rest of his life. He continued and extended Snow's work on inhalation anaesthesia and brought into clinical use no less than fourteen anesthetics of which methylene bichloride is the best known and he invented the first double-valved mouthpiece for use in the administration of chloroform. He also made known the peculiar properties of amyl nitrite a drug which was largely used in the treatment of angina pectoris and he introduced the bromides of quinine iron and strychnia ozonized ether styptic and iodized colloid peroxide of hydrogen and ethylate of soda substances which were soon largely used by the medical profession. In 1893 he was knighted in recognition of his eminent services to humanitarian causes. First Edition. Full Cloth. Very Good. 24mo - over 5" - 5¾" tall. Hardcover.
