Title page with the ownership signature of James R. Wood at top; and with another name lined-through of William Chambers. Concerning this book ". New York Hospital's pharmacopoeia was published in 1816 four years before the publication of the United States Pharmacopoeia. This caused considerable concern among the attending physicians about the potential abridgement of the physician's right to prescribe." from: New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell site Dr. James Rushmore Wood 1816 -1882 "began the practice of medicine in his native city and in 1847 he became a member of the medical board of Bellevue hospital New York. At that time this institution was a receptacle for lunatics paupers criminals and other victims of a depraved life. The most rudimentary hygienic laws were grossly violated in its management and the nursing was inefficient and untrustworthy. With the assistance of Morris Franklin president of the board of aldermen Dr. Wood set about reforming this state of things and labored so successfully that he soon reduced the annual death-rate by 600. He also made all the post-mortem examinations amounting to many hundreds yearly established Saturday surgical clinics and founded the Wood prize for the best anatomical dissection."Appleton Dr. Wood was also Chair of Operative Surgery and Surg.

1915List1003Chicago: National Half Century Anniversary Exposition and Lincoln Jubilee 1915. Felt pennant measuring 38 x 15 inches. Lettering slightly faded very good condition overall. In celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of Lincoln's death the city of Chicago hosted the National Half Century Anniversary Exposition and Lincoln Jubilee to celebrate emancipation and the cultural achievements of African-Americans. The event was held at the Coliseum on August 23 - September 22 1915. The Illinois legislature appropriated $75000 for the month-long celebration. Seventeen states appointed African American delegates to attend the event as representatives. Delegates from other countries participated as well. Bishop Samuel Fallows the English-born clergyman and Union Army Colonel spent a decade promoting and organizing the event urging states such as New York to appoint representatives and encouraging Chicago's religious leaders to attend. Several hundred pastors from African-American churches did attend along with members of their congregations and most contemporary accounts of the jubilee advertise speeches by African-American religious leaders. Charles F. Gunther a local candy manufacturer and collector of Lincoln memorabilia lent his collection to the event it was later purchased by the Chicago Historical Society. The event's organizers anticipated close to half a million attendees. Though we find no record of actual attendance contemporary reports show crowds of tens of thousands attending at a time. <br /> The Colored Women's Civic League closed the exposition with a ceremony involving children. <br /> <br /> Despite the large undertaking and historical significance of the event few relics of the exhibition have survived. OCLC lists two copies of the official program for the event. The official report of the event History and Report of the Exhibition and Celebration to Commemorate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Emancipation of the Negro has around 20 holdings. We find no other record of this commemorative pennant an unusual survival. Condition is very good with some light wear. National Half Century Anniversary Exposition and Lincoln Jubilee unknown books

179542915Louth 1795. White rag paper bottom and fore-edge deckled. Black printed text. Two fold lines; occasional loss to fold lines minimally affecting text; light general wear and toning. VG. Bifolium. 2 unnumbered pages of printed text; title printed to verso of second leaf else second leaf blank. 9-3/4" x 7-5/8" <br/><br/>Auction catalogue from the 1795 sale of 38 lots of the freehold estate owned by the late Charles Chaplin Esq. with manuscript prices and related notes in pencil and ink in a contemporary hand throughout. Occasional pencil notations and markings correct the printed acreage estimates of some lots. The Chaplins were members of the upper gentry and influential landowners in Lincolnshire. When the Louth Navigation -- a canal running from Louth in Lincolnshire to Tetney Haven at the mouth of the Humber -- was completed in 1770 Charles Chaplin managed to secure a 99 year lease of the tolls despite the terms of the canal's Act of Parliament limiting such leases to just seven years. The Louth Navigation Trust per the Louth Canal website notes that control and management of the tolls became "virtually hereditary" and led to considerable commercial opposition to the Chaplins and their political influence by the 1820s. The catalog includes columns for "Names of Plots &c."; "Acres by Estimation"; "State of Land"; and "Occupiers." Anyone wishing to view the premises is encouraged to apply to one Mr. J. Curtis of Saltfleetry. unknown books
4496Each of the five mounted photographs is preceded by a protective sheet of tissue paper in tact though wrinkled. The five photographs show a group of luminaries in the following fields: "Politicians Conservative" "Politicians Liberal" "Authors and Novelists" including Charles Dickens Wilkie Collins Thomas Carlyle "Science" including Charles Wheatstone Michael Faraday "Artists" including J. M. W. Turner John Everett Millais and Edwin Landseer. The page preceding the last group photograph of English Artists indicated that a second volume was anticipated "early in 1877." The artists' page has separated from the spine as has the first copyright page which is chipped along margins creased and missing upper left corner. The pages are securely held together at the spine even though they have lost their cover. The albumen plates are somewhat light as might be expected. Various degrees of foxing throughout chipped corners of the photographic boards. Overall condition is fair to good. A fascinating assemblage of 19th century English culture. unknown books
