To be creatures who love we must be creatures who despair' begins Solomon's expansive and astutely observed examination of the experience origins and cultural manifestations of depression. While placing his study in a broad social contex-- according to recent research some 19 million Americans suffer from chronic depression--he also chronicles his own battle with the disease. Beginning just after his senior year in college Solomon began experiencing crippling episodes of depression. They became so bad that after losing his mother to cancer and his therapist to retirement he attempted unsuccessfully to contract HIV so that he would have a reason to kill himself. Attempting to put depression and its treatments in a cross-cultural context he draws effectively and skillfully on medical studies historical and sociological literature and anecdotal evidence analyzing studies of depression in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge Inuit life in Greenland the use of electroshock therapy and the connections between depression and suicide in the U. S. And other cultures. In examining depression as a cultural phenomenon he cites many literary melancholics Virginia Woolf Samuel Beckett John Milton Shakespeare John Keats and George Eliot as well as such thinkers as Freud and Hegel to map out his 'atlas' of the condition. Smart empathetic and exhibiting a wide and resonant knowledge of the topic Solomon has provided an enlightening and sobering window onto both the medical and imaginative worlds of depression." from Publishers Weekly -- with a bonus offer-- .

Rare first edition of one of the earliest works on the subject of scurvy by the well-known anatomist undertaken to survey the incidence of the disease in the ducal territories around Wittenberg and consequently qualifying as an example of public health medicine. According to O’Malley Alberti was able to positively demonstrate the disease’s prevalence in the territory surveyed and astutely recommend citrus fruit as part of a preventative diet a benevolent property later recognized by James Lind in his Treatise on the Scurvy Edinburg 1753. “The book was known by James Lind and referred to by him in his celebrated treatise” O’Malley p. 98. Salomon Alberti 1540-1600 is best known for producing the first illustrations of the venous valves and for producing the first extensive printed account devoted solely to their function in his Tres Orationes Nuremberg 1585. The correct understanding of the venous valves was essential to Harvey’s concept of a systemic circulation of the blood. The work went through at least two 17th-century editions 1624; 1674 though the editio princeps appears to be the only one containing Alberti’s public disputation of 1591 with Ernestus Hettenbach which constitutes the first public announcement of his results.

332115 p.l. 984 pp. 30 leaves of index. Thick 8vo cont. half-sheep & paste-paper boards. Leipzig: G.M. Knoch 1733. The catalogue of the vast library of Cyprian 1673-1745 "one of the last important and influential representatives of the Lutheran orthodoxy."-N.D.B. He was librarian of the Ducal Library at Gotha did much to improve it and published a catalogue of its MSS. His library was certainly one of the most important "Gelehrtenbibliotheken" of his time; a considerable portion of it was of course devoted to theology - the title-page especially recommends it to the student of theology and ecclesiastical history - and the subject index of theological works alone occupies 29 pp. as opposed to that of all other subjects which only takes up 20 pp. This is the second edition of the catalogue much enlarged with items acquired since the publication of the first edition Gotha: 1726. The 1747 Gotha edition is no doubt the sale catalogue published after Cyprian's death. At the end on nine pages we find the bibliography of Cyprian's forty-nine publications. Nice copy. ❧ A.D.B.

Small octavo 4-3/4 by 7-1/4 inches later 19th-Century three-quarter brown calf and marbled boards; pp. i-ii 1-5 6-158 2. $2200.First edition of the crucial record of the controversial 1838 trials of over 20 defendants documenting the deadly mob attack on Reverend Lovejoy and his press a work that swiftly provoked Northern fears that free speech required ""not only protection against governmental suppression but also protection against private violence aimed at silencing speakers.""The deadly 1837 mob riot that killed the abolitionist publisher and minister Elijah Lovejoy and destroyed his printing press had swift national impact. It proved to be ""a climactic event in the larger struggle for free speech"": one that raised fundamental questions on the ""private suppression of speech and the nature and future of republican government."" It also triggered ""an emerging view that free speech and press were rights or 'privileges' and 'immunities' to which all American citizens were entitled everywhere in the U.S."" The murderous riot demonstrated that free speech required ""not only protection against governmental suppression but also protection against private violence aimed at silencing speakers"" Curtis Free Speech 217-18.Prior to his death Reverend Lovejoy had seen mobs twice destroy his presses in Alton Illinois but despite no support from the state legislature or local officials he persisted. On November 7 1837 the warehouse where his new press was held was set on fire and he was murdered. In January 1838 eleven of Lovejoy's supporters and Gilman owner of the warehouse were indicted for attempting to protect Lovejoy and defend his pressa prosecution that outraged many in the North. At the same time eleven of the rioters ""only a small fraction of those who attacked the warehouse"" were also indicted Finkelman Slavery 148 The January trial of Gilman and his co-defendants is documented in the nearly 80 first pages of this very elusive first edition followed by coverage of the same month's trial of the eleven mob participants. Both trial records contain indictments arguments of counsel and witness testimony. While all in both trials were acquitted anger remained that defenders of Lovejoy and his press were indicted at all. The trials ""crystallized the fear that slavery would destroy free speech and civil liberty Lovejoy's death was part of a great transformation"" in a movement that recognized ""states and cities had acted against free speech simply by not acting by failing to provide protection free speech then required protection to be a meaningful right"" Curtis 227 239-400. To scholar Paul Finkelman ""the history of speech and anti-slavery is critical for our understanding of how opposition to free speech works"" Speech Press and Democracy 818.

Some rubbing to covers text very clean and sharp binding tight. The magnum opus of the preeminent scholar in post-Talmudic Judaism. The survival of Maimonides autograph original in the Cairo Geniza is one of the great wonders of intellectual and religious history. "No praise can be too high for the outer form of his works both in language and logical method. The Mishneh Torah was the only work which he wrote in Hebrew and the language is superb clear and succinct. . The Mishneh Torah is a model of logical sequence and studied method each chapter and each paragraph coming in natural sequence to its preceeding one." In 14 subdivisions Maimonides classifies "by subject matter the entire talmudic and post-talmudic halakhic literature in a systematic manner never before attempted in the history of Judaism." While ostensibly a strictly halakhic compendium the work allows for natural excurses on the many facets of Maimonides's broad learning including Medicine Philosophy Civil Law and refutations of Islamic and Christian theology. The very splendor of this work was itself the main concern of its critics who worried that "the architectural beauty of its structure its logical arrangement and ready-reference nature . would turn students away from the study of the Talmud and commentaries."

1855215231855. Slavery & AbolitionAfrican American History Northup Solomon. Twelve Years a Slave 1855 stands as one of the most consequential firsthand accounts of American slavery documenting the kidnapping and illegal enslavement of a free Black man from New York and exposing the interstate slave trade that linked Washington D.C. to the plantation economies of Louisiana. Born free in New York State Northup was deceived into traveling to the nation's capital in 1841 where he was drugged imprisoned and sold into slavery. His narrative provides rare and detailed testimony of slave pens in Washington the markets of New Orleans and the labor regimes of cotton and sugar plantations in Louisiana. A first edition later printing published during the intensifying crisis around national abolition in the 1850s the work contributed to Northern antislavery discourse by candidly explaining the vulnerability of free Black citizens under federal law and the complicity of national institutions in sustaining bondage. Northup's reflections including his observation that cruelty was rooted in "the system under which he lives" articulates broader antebellum debates over slavery as an institution rather than merely as individual failing.<br /> <br /> Northup Solomon. Twelve Years a Slave. Narrative of Solomon Northup. New York and Auburn: Miller Orton and Mulligan 1855. First edition later printing twenty-eighth thousand stated on title page. This printing comprises 336 pages and includes a frontispiece portrait of Northup and six inserted plates. Bound in original brown cloth embossed with a scene of an enslaver whipping an enslaved man on both covers spine gilt-lettered 12mo.<br /> <br /> Issued first in 1853 shortly after Northup regained his freedom the narrative went through multiple printings and additional editions by 1859 reflecting sustained public engagement with firsthand testimony of the domestic slave trade. The graphic illustrations underscore the publisher's intention to present the work as a moral indictment of slavery. Ex libris bookplate of historian Arthur M. Schlesinger appears on the front pastedown accompanied by a penciled inscription on the front free endpaper linking this copy to twentieth-century American historical scholarship. Frontispiece portrait and six plates present. Original brown cloth as described. No dust jacket as issued. Some rippling to pages. Binding and text block tight. Overall good.
