A scarce very good complete set of this landmark early 20th century compilation of American pediatrics.</p><p><strong>ISAAC ARTHUR ABT </strong>1867 – 1955 began his practice in internal medicine but gravitated to pediatrics with a particular interest in nutrition and became one of the earliest specialists in the field. After a year at the University of Chicago preparatory school he entered the 3-year pre-medical program at Johns Hopkins University in the Fall of 1886. At Johns Hopkins Isaac was greatly influenced by the outstanding pathologist William Henry Welch. In 1889 he entered the Chicago Medical College's two-year course. Abt took his internship at Michael Reese Hospital 1891-1892. Then Abt took the usual "grand tour" of Europe for his postgraduate training leaving in the fall of 1892 and returning in January 1894. From 1894 to 1897 he was assistant in pediatrics and instructor in physiology histology and physiology of the nervous system at the Chicago Medical College Northwestern University Medical School. In 1909 Abt became Chairman of the Department of Pediatrics at Northwestern University. He remained at Northwestern until his retirement in 1939. His most important work in support of pediatric hospital facilities began in 1910 when Edward Morris of the meat-packing family called on him with a proposal for a children's hospital. This hospital to be named after Edward's mother Sarah was to be the finest in Chicago. The Sarah Morris Hospital was acknowledged to be one of the finest in the country comparable to the Harriet Lane Home at Johns Hopkins. Abt's comprehensive knowledge of the rapidly expanding literature of pediatrics was in good part the result of his service as Editor of the Year Book of Pediatrics from 1902 to 1940. He was one of the founders of the American Journal of the Diseases of Children. His major work the 8-volume System of Pediatrics was published in 1923-1926 offered here. This became a classic in its field. With Edward Lasker he developed an electric breast pump that became highly successful. He was the first physician in Chicago to administer diphtheria antitoxin and he was the first American pediatrician to use protein milk in the treatment of diarrhea. Abt pioneered in the early work on incubators for premature infants. Abt was an active and productive member of numerous organizations. He was Chairman of the American Medical Association's Section on Pediatrics in 1911 and served as the Section's representative in the House of Delegates from 1918 to 1935. In 1925 he presented an informative and detailed report before the House on the methods of sale and promotion of infant foods that has served as a standard ever since. He also was a member of a joint committee of the AMA and the National Education Association. He was Chairman of the Committee on Medical Care for Children at President Hoover's White House Conference in 1930. Abt had been made a Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor in 1927. Isaac Arthur Abt became one of the most prominent pediatricians in the United States and for many years enjoyed an international reputation as well.

FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST FULL NOVEL BY HENRY FIELDING AND VERY EARLY AMONG THE MODERN NOVELS PUBLISHED IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. Fielding called this his "comic epic poem in prose" and it embodies two aesthetics of period literature; being both neoclassical and mock-heroic. Fielding states that the work is an "imitation of the manner of Cervantes" and it does indeed owe much of its humor to Cervantean techniques. But it was Samuel Richardson and the cultural phenomenon caused by Richardson's PAMELA that Fielding had centered in his cross-hairs within the first few chapters Richardson is parodied mercilessly.<br> Fielding claims in his preface that his impetus for writing the novel was to establish a literary genre "which I do not remember to have been hitherto attempted in our language." He defined this as a "comic epic-poem in prose" being a work of prose fiction epic in length and varied in chapter; making this a very early example of what we would now call a modern English novel.<br> Thematically JOSEPH ANDREWS tells of a good-natured footman and his friend and mentor Abraham Adams. Andrews is the brother of Richardson's Pamela. Joseph shares his sister's commitment to premarital chastity and also like Pamela has caught the eye of someone the Lady Booby intent on seducing it away from him. What follows is a bawdy tale of impending marriages confused parentage various twists and turns of social standings and of course true love.<br> First Issue with the following points as called for: Vol. I p.159.8 “issomething; p. 245.-3 ‘dans’ for ‘Adams’ p. 308 numbered 306; Vol. II p. 241 for 214 p. 14.9 ’ threarned’ for’ threatened’ p. 57.21 ‘thent hese’ for ‘than these’ p. 93.-3 ‘mead s’ for ‘meadows’ p. 221.2 ‘t’ of ‘not’ up one line p. 235.11 ‘f rom’ has the unwanted space. <br> Bibliography:: First Edition “Published 22 Feb. 1742 with a run of 1500 copies; 2nd Edition.

174524706London: M. Cooper 1745. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good. Hardback. A very good copy in a modern full calf binding with title on spine in gilt on a maroon title-piece. Five raised bands on spine. Ownership inscription on front free end-paper. Half-title present. Generally clean but with a little foxing to early pages. What appears to be minor worming at the foot of some pages. Pp.iv47. The title continues: "In which is a full Account of the Conduct of this Young Invader from his first Arrival in Scotland; with the several Progresses he made there; and likewise a very particular RELATION of the Battle of Preston with an exact List of the Slain Wouinded and Prisoners on both Sides. Taken from the Relation of Mr. JAMES MACPHERSON who was an Eye-Witness of the Whole and who took the first Opportunity of leaving the Rebels into whose Service he was forced and in which he had a Captain's Commission." Fielding the famous novelist and dramatist and author of "Tom Jones" was strongly anti-Jacobite. He published this one of his scarcest works anonymously. James MacPherson the Jacobite Captain whose account of the Rebellion is supposed to form the basis of the Work was not in fact a real person but was a figment of Fielding's imagination.
