185711291857. Mixed method engraving. <p>A pair of mixed method engravings published by Gambart and Co. in 1857 in a declared edition of 225 pairs. The original paintings were exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1854. In the first picture the scene is the interior of a second class railway carriage with hard unpadded wooden benches. A young mother plainly dressed in a black coat bonnet and shawl clutches the hand of her young son who is evidently on his way to Portsmouth to join the service of the East India Company a recruiting poster is pasted to the wall above his head. His tearful sister sits on the bench opposite next to her brother's baggage a sailor is traveling with his wife in the background numerous posters advertising ship passages to Australia and India and other advertisements are stuck to the walls and ships in the harbour are visible through the carriage window. In the second picture the young man now considerably older has returned to England evidently having made his fortune. He sits in backview in a comfortably upholstered first class carriage wearing smart military uniform chatting to an elderly well dressed fellow passenger while exchanging glances with the old man's pretty fashionably dressed young daughter who sits demurely crocheting in a corner of the carriage. Abraham Solomon was a popular London artist and Simmons was a notable mezzotint engraver. The Departure has some faint spotting lower right corner in margin faint indentation in title area and repaired tear in margin outside the platemark on right hand side. The Return has a repaired tear on left hand side which enters the image about 4cm. It also has a repaired tear in top margin outside image area but within platemark. <br /> <br /> </p> <br /> <p></p> unknown

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.

"Nyeste Skilderie af Kjøbenhavn" grundlages i 1803 af Johan Werfel og eksisterede til 1837. Johan Werfel døbte bladet Nyeste Skilderie af Kjøbenhavn til minde om sin ven samfundsrevseren Niels Ditlev Riegels som var død året før. Riegels havde 1786-1790 udgivet det samfundskritiske blad Månedsskriftet Kjøbenhavns Skilderie men efter Trykkefrihedsforordningen af 1799 var grænserne for hvad man kunne skrive væsentligt indskrænkede. Werfel forsøgte i nogle numre af sit blad at mindes Riegels ved at udgive nogle af hans efterladte skrifter men måtte efter nogle numre stoppe forsøget. Boghandleren og forlæggeren Salomon Soldin blev snart ansat som redaktør og efter at Werfel i 1808 forsvandt og foregav at være død for at undgå sine kreditorer overtog Soldin også udgivelsen af bladet.I de første årgange var bladet et lille ugeblad der udkom i kvartformat men det udvidedes snart så bladet i format og udgivelse kunne konkurrere med tidens andre populære blade såsom Berlingske Tidende og Adresseavisen.Soldin skrev selv en stor del af indholdet i bladet men også flere af tidens betydelige personligheder som Rasmus Nyerup Knud Lyne Rahbek Christian Molbech og Nikolaj Frederik Severin Grundtvig bidrog ofte med indlæg.Nyeste Skilderie af Kjøbenhavn var et særligt københavnsk blad og det læstes fortrinsvis af de dannede borgere. Det var desuden i sin levetid et af de væsentligste blade hvor bl.a. mange af de vigtigste litterære fejder stod.Allerede i 1825 afhændede Soldin redaktionen af bladet til Frederik Thaarup. Omgangskredsen frygtede for bladets skæbne og selv sagde Soldin at han ved overgivelsen til Thaarup havde sørget for at de fik "kristelig Begravelse". Det var dog ikke Thaarup der lagde det i graven for efter 6 år på posten overlodes det til Hans Christian Wosemose Claudius Rosenhoff og J. H. Stabell som omdøbte det til Allernyeste Skilderie. Det levede endnu 6 år men i 1837 samme år som Soldin døde gik bladet endeligt ind. - Bibl. Danica IV: 614. </em> unknown

18549001854. Hdb. Path. Ther. Vir. 1. - Erlangen Verlag von Ferdinand Enke 1854 8° XIV 551 pp. Halbledereinband der Zeit. First Edition! The earliest attempts to explain the doctrine of celluar nature of vital processes was made by Virchow in the present work. It is a comprehensive preliminary study and a invaluable source book of his famous "Celluar Pathology" published 4 years afterwards in 1858. Virchow's original contributions comprising the pages 1-371. Von Rudolf Virchow stammen die Arbeiten auf den Seiten 1-371. "Hier finden sich auch schon mehrfach die Gedanken aus welchen Virchow seine fundamentale Cellular-Pathologie aufgebaut hat." W.Becher Virchow. "Virchows so sehr erfolgreiche Synthese das Buch über die Zellular-Pathologie aus dem Jahre 1858 war nicht sein erster Versuch in dieser Richtung. Sein "Versuch zur Einigung der wissenschaftlichen Medizin" von 1849" . war so allgemein das sie den Zweck verfehlte." "Ein zweiter weit ernsthafterer und ausgedehnterer Vorstoß in dieser Richtung waren die einführenden vierhundert Seiten die Virchow 1854 Würzburg für sein "Handbuch" schrieb. Er begann mit allgemeinen Feststellungen über Leben und Krankheit: Die Zellen sind die wirkliche Herde des Lebens die vitalen Elemente. Diese Elemente besitzen eine gewisse Selbstständigkeit; doch sind sie voneinander abhängig und bilden höhere Einheiten. Solche Einheiten werden durch gemeinsame Zirkulation gemeinsame nervöse Versorgung und direkten Zusammenhang oder Berührung der Zellen untereinander erhalten. Die letztere Beziehung ist vernachlässigt worden. Das Leben kann nur durch ständige Stimulierung und Irritierung bestehen. Die Krankheit ist immer eine Schwächung des Lebens die durch die Gefahr gekennzeichnet wird. Jede Störung des Lebens beginnt lokal. Die pathologische Erscheinungen unterscheiden sich qualitativ nicht von den gewöhnlichen vitalen Erscheinungen; sie sind nicht heterolog im engeren Sinne des Wortes sie sind vitale Erscheinungen die zur falschen Zeit auftreten heterochron oder am unrechten Platz heterotop. Normale Verhältnisse können durch nervöse Regulierung durch das Blut- und Kreislaufsystem und durch eine Reaktion des Gewebes wieder hergestellt werden. In dem letzteren Zusammenhang übernahm Virchow von John Simon den Gedanken daß die Organe Substanzen in das Blut ausscheiden die auf andere Organe einwirken Er hob auch die Wirkung der Geschlechtsdrüsen auf die Schilddrüse Milchdrüse und den Kehlkopf vor einer der nicht so seltenen Hinweise dieser Periode auf die innere Sekretion die erst in den achtziger Jahren durch die Arbeit von Brown-Séquard Schiff u.a. näher untersucht wurde." "Da Virchow sein Thema im Rahmen eines traditionellen Textes über allgemeine Pathologie entwickelte mußte er viele Gebiete die außerhalb seines direkten Tätigkeitsfeldes lagen behandeln." Er war gezwungen in der Hauptsache über die Beobachtungen und Theorien anderer zu berichten. Dadurch ist der Text von großem historischen Interesse" Ackerknecht Rudolf Virchow p.71-74 "So gehört der erste Abschnitt zu den wichtigsten in weiten Bereichen noch heute gültigen jedoch vergessenen Dokumenten der Medizin im 19.Jahrhundert . Erstaunlich ist folgendes . das Grundkonzept der Cellularpathologie ist in dem ersten Abschnitt des Handbuchbeitrages bereits voll und ganz enthalten." W. Jacob Ferner enthält der Band die "Störungen der Blutmischung" pp.372-470 von Karl Julius Vogel 1814-1880 und Salomon Friedrich Stiebel 1792-1868: "Rachitis und Osteomalacie" pp.471-551. unknown
