Walter Holbrook Gaskell 1847-1914 classical memoir on the muscle and nerves of the heart included a description of "Gaskell's nerves" the accelerator nerves of the heart. He showed that the motor impulses from the nerve ganglia in the sinus venosus influence the heart rhythm but do not originate cardiac movements which are due to the rhythmic contraction of the heart muscle. This led to the artificial production of "heart-block" the name of which Gaskell based on a expression of Georges John Romanes." Garrison & Morton No. 829 unknown

190655794London: Smith Elder & Co 1906. Hardcover. Very good condition. Octavo. Original three-quarter blue Morocco over textured light blue cloth with gilt lettering and tooling on spines raised bands. Top edges gilt. Marbled endpapers. Frontispiece engravings. Illustrated throughout with some ten plates for each volume including reproduction of photographs gravures and documents.<br /> <br /> Born into a religious literary family the early deaths of their mother and their two elder sisters profoundly influenced their writing tremendously. Initially publishing their works under the male pseudonyms Currer Ellis and Acton Bell it was Charlotte's Jane Eyre initially published under the pseudonym Currer Bell that was the first literary and commercial success.<br /> <br /> Growing up in Haworth near Keighley in West Yorkshire Charlotte and Emily had written compulsively from early childhood but their first books of poetry in 1846 attracted little attention. Returning to prose the three sisters released a novel each in the year following Charlotte's Jane Eyre Emily's Wuthering Heights and Anne's Agnes Grey all three of them receiving great critical attention but only Charlotte's Jane Eyre was an instant commercial success. Emily's Wuthering Heights and Anne's Agnes Gray were deemed masterpieces of literature only after their death and the literary works of the three sisters were eventually accepted into the canon of great English literature.<br /> <br /> Bindings with very light wear volume five with small coffee stain on a few pages at foredge.

Discussion on the Origin of Vertebrates. Reprint from Proceedings of the Linnean Society of London Session 122. 1910. pp. ii 9-50. All in original printed paper wrappers excellent condition apart from the slight damage to the foot of the backstrip in one part signature of SIR Arthur. Smith. WOODWARD on one wrapper neat stamp of University College London on each front cover of the main series and either the final plate or text leaf in all other ways a very good set. Exceptionally rare in this form and precedes GARRISON-MORTON #243 The Origin of Vertebrates 1908 - 'Gaskell was probably the most brilliant of Michael Foster's pupils. His history of the origin of vertebrates from invertebrate ancestors is not universally accepted.' In his review of the Linnean Society discussion in NATURE 1910 J. GRAHAM KERR stated - 'The remarks made by Dr. Gaskell and his supporters make it apparent that there exist wide differences between what they accept as the correct principles of morphological research and those which are accepted by other working morphologists. The forgoing paragraphs are not meant as a criticism of Dr. Gaskell's hypothesis. They are merely meant to direct attention to an extraordinary want of agreement as to methods or principles of morphological research.' In part XIII Gaskell sums up his thesis - 'In a series of papers published in this Journal I have developed my theory of the origin of vertebrates and have compared step by step every organ in the arthropod with the corresponding organ in the vertebrate and shown how one after another each has fitted into its right place on the assumption that the arthropod has given rise to the vertebrate without any reversal of surfaces an assumption which necessitates the formation of a new alimentary canal for the vertebrate.' GASKELL 1847-1914 had hoped to complete his study but never did so; in part XIII he stated - 'I am aware that in the course of these papers I have promised at some time to consider separately the vascular and lymphatic systems and the external covering and I still hope to be able some day to publish something on these subjects. At present however I am engaged in putting the whole story into book form and until that is accomplished I am not likely to add to this series.' SIR ARTHUR SMITH WOODWARD FRS 23 May 1864 2 September 1944 English palaeontologist known as a world expert in fossil fish. He also described the Piltdown Man fossils which were later determined to be fraudulent. He is not related to Henry Woodward whom he replaced as curator of the Geology Department of the British Museum of Natural History. OFFPRINTS from The Journal of Anatomy and Physiology, Vols.
