Self wraps; paper lightly browned small stain on top page. Very good. This article contains the text of a lecture given to the Society of Arts London December 18 1884. It provides a short history of the subject "the lethal process" a table of anesthetic gases and vapors showing their chemical properties and 5 figures illustrating lethal chamber used in the euthanasia of animals. Richardson "spent many years in attempts to relieve pain among men by discovering and adapting substances capable of producing general or local anaesthesis and among animals by more humane methods of slaughter. He brought into use no less that fourteen anaesthetics 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 produced local insensibility be freezing the part with an ether spray and he gave animals euthanasia by means of a lethal chamber." DNB Vol. XXII Supplement p. 1170. Sir Benjamin Richardson contributed widely to the history of medicine whose important work Disciples of Aesculapius was published in 1900. See: Garrison History of medicine p. 885; Garrison and Morton 6721. In addition this issue of the Scientific American Supplement contains two articles related to anesthesia entitled "The kola-nut" and "Cultivation of the coca plant in the United States" both related the production and use of cocaine as an anesthetic agent.

Only nine complete copies are known to exist: the ESTC records only eight and NUC records one other. <br/><br/>Richardson wrote Pamela 1740 at the suggestion of booksellers Rivington and Osborn. "The book was highly successful and fashionable and further editions were soon called for. Richardson felt obliged to continue his story not only because of the success of Pamela but because of the number of forged continuations that began to appear. Pamela Part II appeared in 1741" Oxford Companion to English Literature.<br/><br/>"A translation of Pamela into French 4 vols. duodecimo with imprint 'A Londres chez Jean Osborne.M.DCC.XLII' was published shortly after the appearance of Vols. III and IV in English. The translator was the Abbé Prevost . It was offered for sale in France before Jan 12 1742 when fifty copies were seized from Guerin's. Apparently it was later sold with the tacit consent of the authorities. The price was six livres stitched" Sale Samuel Richardson: A Bibliographical Record p. 29.<br/><br/>The correct place of publication Paris and publisher Didot was discovered in a leaf of ads from an incomplete copy at the British Library that lists various Didot publications for sale.<br/><br/>An earlier translation of Parts I and II of Pamela appeared in 1741 in all likelihood by Chesnaye des Bois as well. "This French edition was published after the fifth English edition at the time when Richardson was begining to revise his text for the handsome octavo edition of the novel. According to the preface of the translator in Volume I Richardson furnished him with a small number of additions and corrections for the text" Ibid p. 16.
