17755953Geneva: Cramer et Bardin 1775. Edition encadré" volume 11. Volume 11 only of the 40-volume "edition encadré" published in 1775 by Cramer et Bardin the last edition of Voltaire's works published under the author's supervision. Then as now La Pucelle d'Orleans was Voltaire's most consumed work so it is not surprising to find this volume detached from the its 39 companions. Voltaire's greatest poem but not the one you read in school. With Ariosto in mind Voltaire rewrote the Joan of Arc story with all the wit and critical distance of an 18th-century libertine. The result is that France's sainted woman warrior becomes the vehicle for an intelligent and licentious burlesque. Good and right-thinking people have always found it offensive but it doesn't really care. Nice binding charming illustrations. Octavo 21 cm; 420 pages portrait frontispiece by Martinet and 21 engraved plates. Text within typographic borders. Bound in contemporary etched leather scored in gilt. Spine decorated in gilt with leather labels. Marbled endpapers. Boards somewhjat splayed. Negligible loss at head and tail. Hinges starting. Upper joint reinforced. Contents clean.

The item has introductory remarks on the verses presumably manuscript being sent by Keate with a gift reminding readers of Keate's work on the Pellew Islands and patronage of Lee Bow another Marcellus. These are followed by 34 lines of verse offering support and help with complimentary phrases.

This is followed by brief words on the death burial and nature of Keate with 10 lines from the epitaph on or near his grave with a few words about "a Gentleman who distinguished himself in his early years at the Scotch Bar" who "prepared" the Epitaph.

At the request of the government he continued the experiments at the prison and hospital at Winchester Hampshire where there was an epidemic of typhus. He conducted a similar experiment to destroy contagion in 1795 on the HMS Union a hospital ship which between September 1795 and January 1796 had taken on board 479 typhus sufferers from the Russian fleet. He heated crude nitre presumably with carbon and the oxides of nitrogen given off would in fact have been fatal to the lice which spread typhus a disease not yet distinguished from typhoid. In addition Smyth thought washing and cleanliness very important. For his experimental work parliament voted Smyth in 1802 a reward of £5000. His claim to the discovery was disputed by Dr John Johnstone of Birmingham for his father Dr James Johnstone and by M. Chaptal for Guyton de Morveau. After a keen controversy Smyth's claims were upheld. Shortly afterwards he was elected physician-extraordinary to George III. He then went to the south of France for his health and on his return settled at Sunbury Middlesex. He died at Sunbury on 18 June 1821". From the papers of the Carmichael-Smyth Family.
