Wilde states in the preface printed here for the first time that: "The reprinting of this paper is all the more desirable as some of the views set forth therein have been modified by subsequent investigatiors without advancing much beyond what had already been accomplished; while in other instances there has been a distinct retrogression from the solid position which chemical philosophy had attained more than forty years ago."

"A volume of short poems characterized by Oscar Wilde as 'verses full of sweet sadness and yet full of joy;' they were written by a young English friend of his of whom he speaks at length in his introduction" Publishers' Weekly October 7 1882. Rodd's dedication to Wilde reads: "To Oscar Wilde - 'Heart's Brother' - These Few Songs and Many Songs to Come." In addition to this effusive dedication "for which Wilde clearly was responsible the book was 'edited' by the omission of two poems Lucciole and Maidenhair.At the same time Wilde added nine of Rodd's poems which had not previously been collected" Mason p.185. In a letter to Thomas Mosher who reprinted this book Stoddart replies to Mosher's questions as to the number printed: "I think this deluxe issue was not over 250 copies." The edition de luxe is usually supposed to have been published earlier. Mason 242 J.M. Stoddart & Co unknown books

1855612331855. Göttingen Georg H. Wigand 1855 8° XIII 3 558 2 pp. Pappband d.Zt.; frisch bezogen. First German Edition of the "Practical observations on aural surgery and the nature and treatment of diseases of the ear. London: John Churchill 1853" by Sir William Robert Wills 1815-1876 translated by Ernst von Haselberg with a foreword by Wilhelm Braun." "Mein Freund und früherer Schüler Dr. Addinell Hewson zu Philadelphia hat eingewilligt die Amerikanische Ausgabe dieses Buches zu besorgen welche bei Blanchard und Lea herauskommt; und mein Freund Dr. von Haselberg zu Stralsund hat die Uebersetzung ins deutsche übernommen. Dublin 12. Juni 1853.". "This work did more to place British otology on a scientific basis than anything previously published. In his own words Wilde "laboured to rescue the treatment of ear diseases from empiricism and found it upon the well-established laws of modern pathology practical surgery and reasonable therapeutics". He showed the middle ear to be the site of origin of most of the diseases of the ear. He is remembered for his method of treating acute mastoiditis using "Wilde's incision". The book was bitterly attacked by Kramer - see especially Lancet 1853 2 446 - and also by Thomas Wakley editor of that journal. Wilde was the father of Oscar Wilde."

1854CAT0008101854. First Edition. Hardcover Half Leather. Very Good Condition. Original half leather over marbled boards old University Library bookplate inside front cover. Contains January-June of 1854. WIlde's essay leads off the February issue and is pages 127-146. <br /> <br /> "When kitchened with "point" i.e. seasoned mollified with milk or softened by a drop of the crature' the like of the potato will never again be found for ‘rent-paying pig-feeding love-making child-breeding faction-fighting and country-dancing properties". WIlde father of Oscar was a polymath - a doctor census taker folklorist and social commentator. He represents as does this essay a conundrum. He sympathized with the Irish peasantry could see many of their troubles with clarity collected huge amounts of medical data on their suffering yet supported the insupportable English response to the famine. Even this essay filled with admiring prose for the people and culture essentially blames the starving masses for their problems - a lack of imagination culinary ingenuity stupid reliance on the bounty of the potato etc etc. Though while suggesting that the Irish have little imagination or knowledge gastronomically he does mention an impressive number of ways that potato is served. He even comes to the to call it paternalistic is to do an injustice to the concept of paternalism conclusion that " ‘Irish agriculture has been greatly benefited by the famine." An essay filled with interesting dietary anecdotes fine prose insane conclusions erudite observations and condescending digressions. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.
