Scott was a Washington pediatrician who founded Howard University's Center for Sickle Cell Disease and received international acclaim for researching the painful genetic blood disorder that predominantly affects blacks. Dr. Scott was chairman of pediatrics at Howard from 1949 to 1973 and also had a private pediatric practice in the city. By the 1950s with a growing reputation for his sickle cell research he was among the first black doctors granted privileges at such facilities as Children's and Providence hospitals according to press reports at the time. The Washington Post noted then that several hospitals had an 'unwritten ban against Negro physicians.' Dr. Scott started the Center for Sickle Cell Disease in 1972 with a grant from the National Institutes of Health and remained director until his retirement in 1990." - Washington Post Obit.

1943122437Cambridge Massachusetts: Houghton Library 1943. First edition in book form of this previously unpublished letter written by Kipling to William Joshua Harding seeking an army commission for his son John. Octavo original wrappers as issued. One of only seventy-five numbered copies this is number 32. In fine condition. Rare. Kipling's son John was about three years old when this letter was written. Despite his son's short-sightedness Kipling sought to get him an army commission when the First World War broke out in August 1914. John was killed in the Battle of Loos causing his family immense grief and placing a great strain on the marriage as Kipling's wife had strongly opposed his enlisting. Later Kipling wrote of him "I had a boy who came near writing stories about Kangaroos and Queensland pearl-fishers. But another call came and Johnny went to France where the stars are still shining although Johnny's drum has ceased to beat. Houghton Library unknown

Published as a lifetime edition of Rudyard Kipling it is part of the prestigious "Library of Foreign Writers" series edited by the future Nobel laureate Ivan Bunin marking it as a project of significant literary ambition. The volume is distinguished by its original illustrated title page created by Ivan Bilibin the master of Russian Art Nouveau and children's book illustration whose distinctive style elevates this as a work of art. The selection of stories translated by Nikolai Pusheshnikov introduced Kipling's complex narratives of British India to the Russian intelligentsia.

1923BIBLIO-51288N.p. n.d Dover first edition 1923. Edition of 60 copies or fewer. Patterned wrappers 'Indian design' 8vo. 8 leaves. From David Richard's 'Rudyard Kipling : A Bibliography': "The complementary texts are those of a letter written to Kipling by local postmaster Francis Fatt and the authors answer originally appearing in the Medicine Hat News of 22 December 1910. deprecating a suggestion that the name of Medicine Hat in the province of Alberta Canada be changed to something less colorful. This pamphlet was printed and distributed as a New Years favor and greeting by George Parker Winship then the Assistant Librarian of Harvard College." Kipling robustly concludes his advice: "What then should a city be re-christened that has sold its name - Judasville". Winship's publication was not authorized by Kipling and the work was never collected by Kipling in any edition of his works somewhat reinforcing Winship's statement in his preface: "This little tract for the times is printed in order that certain gentlemen who are known to their intimate acquaintances as Kipling fans may possess a first separate edition which some of their rivals in the engrossing game of book collecting will not be able to buy."
