20 pamphlets bound in one, nineteenth-century buckram. George Buchanan (1827-1906), surgeon, son of Moses Steven Buchanan (1796?1860) surgeon to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary and lecturer on anatomy in the Portland Street medical school from 1836 to 1841, when he was appointed professor of anatomy in the Andersonian University. George Buchanan was educated at the University of Glasgow and went on to study under his father and others at the Andersonian University, he became M.D. St. Andrews and L.R.C.S. Edinburgh, and in 1852 fellow of the Royal Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. "In early life Buchanan volunteered to have chloroform anaesthesia demonstrated on himself, when his father performed a minor operation on him. He began to practise in Glasgow, but in 1856 he went to the Crimea as a civil surgeon. He returned to Glasgow at the end of the war, and was one of the first to practise there purely as a consulting surgeon. In 1860, when he succeeded his father as professor of anatomy in the Andersonian University, he was also appointed surgeon to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary. He soon became known as a bold and skilful operator, and as a good teacher. He was the first to point out (in 1865 and 1867) the possibility and safety of removing half the tongue in cases of cancer, and he was among the first surgeons to remove the upper jaw (in 1864 and 1869). He gave reasons for preferring lithotrity to lithotomy in operating for stone in the adult male, in 1868, and he was the first to perform ovariotomy successfully in the west of Scotland, in 1863."?(Oxford DNB). 1.

Very good/ very good A tantalising as yet! unsupported association copy of the attractive limited edition George Bourne's familial farming memoir illustrated with six sympathetic woodcuts by Stephen Bone with an inscription ascribed to fellow woodcut artist author and suffragette Clemence Housman supposedly gifting it to the prolific and prolifically censored Irish novelist Norah Hoult: "To Norah from C. H. Christmas 1923"; according to a PO note "Alan Hancox the Cheltenham-based antiquarian bookseller who sold this to me says the inscription on the endpaper is by Clemence Housman. to Norah Hoult". Credibly in Housman's hand in 1923 the year of inscription the retiring artist and author would have been 62 and living briefly in Hampshire with her brother Laurence en route to their final home in Street from London; while her own novels and work for the Suffrage Atelier was behind her Housman was still producing wood engraving of her brother's drawings to illustrate his books with 1922 seeing Jonathan Cape issue three volumes of fairy stories and Christian fantasies on which the siblings collaborated. The significantly younger Hoult 1898–1984 had recently moved to London and was writing for a range of publications including Time and Tide the Telegraph and Pearson's Magazine; her first book Poor Women wouldn't appear for another five years. It's possible that Housman and Hoult may have met through literary circles and it seems likely that they would have been sympathetic to each other. Hoult would go on to nurture a close cross-generational friendship with her neighbour in wartime Kensington the novelist and suffragist Violet Hunt on whom she based her protagonist Claire in her 1944 novel of memory loss There Were No Windows. Alex. Bridge was a Tragara Press collector and correspondent of its founder Alan Anderson. With thanks to Elizabeth Crawford. Jonathan Cape paperback
