The Battle of Bunker Hill actually was fought on Breed's Hill site of the Willard's Bunker Hill Monument on June 17 1775. The first monument commemorating the major opening battle of the American Revolution was an 18-foot wooden pillar with gilt urn erected in 1794 by King Solomon's Lodge of Masons to honor the fallen patriot and mason Major-General Dr. Joseph Warren who was killed during the battle's third and final assault. From 1824 to 1842 Willard designed and built the present monument a 221-foot tall granite obelisk for which he also developed the granite quarry in Quincy Massachusetts that provided stone. The first railroad in the country was built to transport granite from that quarry to the waterfront where it was taken by boat to Charlestown and hauled to the building site. N. B.

First edition one of two known issues. VERY RARE & EARLY ACCOUNT ON PERSPIRATION CRYING & BLOOD. A classical account on perspiration crying and blood all fluids. O'Malley writes for the DSB 'such then curious but rational problems as why boys ought not to be forbidden to cry why sobbing usually accompanies weeping" - apparently referring to this work. Thorndike who notes the author's work on the classical writers Galen and Rasis notes further that he was not a physician who ascribed to the occult sciences: "he also discussed such questions as why boys should not be forbidden to cry why sobbing generally goes with tears. . ." p. 230. The Bayerische Staatsbibliothek copy has an added 2 leaves marked as signature "-2" which is a preface by Paulo Alberto Paulus Albertus not available in this copy but supplied in facs. The text refers to bloody sweat noted by Stolberg "Modern medicine acknowledges such phenomena as "hematidrosis" but premodern accounts of bloody sweating may well have to be taken in a much wider sense including what physicians today would consider as bleeding disorders." - Michael Stolberg 'sweat.

Alberti born in 1540 Naumburg Germany a year later his father died. He and his mother relocated to Nuremberg 1541.

His last residence was in Dresden where he passed away. He wrote tracts on the pancreas 1578 on the lacrimal apparatus De Lacrimis 1581. In 1585 he published Historia plerarunque partium humani corporis membratim scripta et in usum tyronum retractatius edita Vitaebergae excudebant Haeredes Iohannis Cratonis. ". . . some years later the German anatomist Salomon Alberti 1540–1600 published his studies of the lacrimal apparatus in a volume entitled De Lacrimis."

19530012058<p>Vedado Havana Cuba: Dr. Frederick K. Solomon Rabbi of Temple Beth Israel in Havana Cuba. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1953. Non-Book. On offer is an excellent relic of post WWII judaica being a Pesach sermon typed edited and signed by progressive rabbi Dr. Frederick K. "Fritz" Solomon originally Solomonski 1899-1980 SEE BIO NOTES FOLLOWING LISTING. Rabbi Solomon dated this sermon 1953 which is the year the Cuban Revolution began and when he was rabbi of the Temple Beth Israel synagogue in Vedado Havana Cuba. Solomon's sermon does not tell the story of Passover Solomon tells his audience to go read that for themselves! . Instead he gives context and insight into the roots of the many Passover traditions Jews undertake. He explains "Passover is more than anything else a time for memories personal as well as historical". Solomon discusses the Passovers of his childhood and segways into legends surrounding the Seder traditions drawing comparisons between tradition religion and modern behaviour. An excerpt follows to provide the flavour of the sermon: "It is the Chad Gadyah with which we end the Seder night's Service. It has the character of a Nursery Rhyme and it makes happy singing. But hidden behind the gay form is a serious meaning and a message. All around you you observe that strength and power rule almost unopposed in the world. As the cat eats the kid and the dog eats the cat so it appears the stronger devours the weaker. Oppression seems a law of nature: until God comes to help and stops all injustice. You would not stand by if you saw a dog trying to bite a kitten; you would not look on if you saw a big strong boy scaring a little one: if I know you you would go and intervene and stop the unequal fight. And this is what God wants you to do it is what the prophets as God's messengers have taught us this is what we must teach the world" page 5. In 1953 Passover took place from March 30 through April 7th. Only three months later Cuba would be thrown into turmoil when the revolution began with an armed revolt conducted by Fidel Castro and his fellow revolutionaries on the 26th of July against the military dictatorship of Cuban President Fulgencio Batista. Solomon being a progressive liberal Jewish rabbi was in Havana at the time running a synagogue. This is a special piece of judaica that is as meaningful today as it was in the 1950s as the world was recovering from the second world war amidst ongoing political and social turmoil. BIO NOTES: Frederick Solomon 1899-1980 painter and Rabbi was born in Berlin Germany in 1899. In 1938 when the synagogue he was serving at was torched by Nazis and he was subsequently summoned by the Gestapo he left Germany with his wife Margot and emigrated to England. Solomonski was interned in the Isle of Man in Hutchinson Square camp in the early 1940s as a prisoner of war along with many other artists. While still in Europe Solomon had studied art under the German-Jewish artists Max Liebermann Martin Brandenburg and Eugene Spiro and German expressionist Willy Jaeckel. In England he continued his artistic career exhibiting his religious and expressionistic work at various galleries throughout the country including the Royal Academy and the Kensington Art Gallery in London where he had a one-man show. His work is in the permanent collections of the Courtauld Institute the Bazalel Museum in Jerusalem and the Ben Uri Art Gallery St. John's Wood London now incorporating the London Jewish Museum of Art. In 1954 he left England to take a position as Rabbi for Temple Beth Ha Shalom in Williamsport PA. After three years in Pennsylvania he sought another position and as a member of the Central Conference of American Rabbis was appointed rabbi at Temple Beth Israel in the Vedado suburb of Havana where he wrote sermons and hosted religious services for his congregation a part of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. Solomon was also active in the Jewish Progressive movement frequently communicating with representatives of The World Union for Progressive Judaism throughout the 1950s in an attempt to officially associate his congregation with the organization Bio Note Credit to East Coast Books. The sermon is six pages long and measures 8x10 inches. It is unbound. Rust marks from a paperclip that had held it together are present. The manuscript is typed with a signature by Solomon on page one in pen and multiple pen and pencil edits by Solomon throughout. No notable bends or tears normal age toning.

1920171874London: John Murray 1920. First edition first impression of this scarce work. Trained at Heatherley's the Royal Academy Schools Munich Academy and École des Beaux-Arts by the outbreak of war Solomon was well established as a society portraitist. Serving as a private in the Artist's Rifles he began to promote his ideas about the importance and application of camouflage through the press eventually attracting the attention of the War Office. Late in 1915 Plumer arranged for Solomon to visit the Western Front to study the techniques being employed by the French École de Camouflage which was headed by the head scene painter from the Opéra de Paris. As a result he was sent to France to establish a camouflage section Haig having arranged that he be given the temporary rank of lieutenant-colonel in order for him to be able to carry forward the section's work effectively. Later in the war he was recalled to London where he concentrated on perfecting the concealment of large areas of terrain a subject which he addresses in the present work. Quarto. Frontispiece and 30 other plates 26 black and white including 2 folding and 4 coloured. Additional "Author's Note" detailing the discoveries of a "recent weekend visit to Flanders" tipped in at p.ix.
