1728269980London: James and John Knapton 1728. unbound. Sea Chart. Uncolored engraving. Sheet measures 25.5" x 30".<br/><br/> This stunning map of the western hemisphere depicts North America and South America presented on Edward Wright's projection also called a globular projection. It extends from the Hudson Bay south to Terra del Fuego with the oceans featuring rhumb lines to facilitate navigation. The map focuses more on the coastlines rather than the interiors. New Zealand appears in its embryonic form with partial coastline shown. Perhaps the most notable feature is the mapping of California as an island and the unmapped northwest coast of North America.<br><br>Insular California was first mentioned in the early 16th century. Although contrary evidence from various explorers was available by the 17th century that California was in fact a peninsula cartographers remained divided on the subject and California continued to appear on maps as an island.<br><br> This chart was made for the 1728 issued of "Atlas maritimus & commercialis or A general view of the world so far as relates to trade and navigation".

Bookplate pasted down with Coat of Arms of Verney.<br/><br/> This commercial sea atlas was published in 1728 as a guide to British global commerce. Today it is a historically significant English overview of world trade during a rapid period of development of the British Empire's trading power. The atlas consists of two parts. The first is the "Atlas Maritimus & Commercialis" proper which provides a geographical overview of the world as it relates to trade and navigation. It also gives an account of contemporary commerce including the traded commodities of each country. The second part is "A General Coasting Pilot" by Nathaniel Cutler which provides sailing directions. The volume was published anonymously though the maps are often attributed to Sir Edmond Halley the Astronomer Royal of Britain who also wrote the prefatory note discussing the charts' use. The atlas's emphasis on commerce in addition to geography distinguishes it from "The English Pilot" the period's standard in maritime charts. It was also notable for covering the entire globe including the south and west coasts of America in one volume. This is an early issue of the Atlas with A Chart of the Coast of Scotland on a globular projection. London: 1728. <br><br>Sir Edmond Halley 1656--1742 was an English astronomer geophysicist mathematician meteorologist and physicist known for computing the orbit of the eponymous Halley's Comet.

19402304115New York: The Macmillan Company 1940. 4th Printing. 4th Printing. Very Good/No Jacket. Codding Mildred B. Fourth printing. Presentation copy from 17 New York Hospital staff members to the assistant surgeon in 1940 Edward W. Douglas. x 181 pp. From the Preface 1940: "The Atlas of Surgical Operations is the result of the difficulty experienced in answering the countless questions of internes resident surgeons students and assistants over a period of twenty years of teaching as to where they might learn about the intimate technical steps of surgical procedures. It has long been apparent that no single volume could contain both adequate descriptions of all surgical diseases as well as a complete recital of the steps in the operations which such diseases require. As a result the admirable textbooks which the medical students of today use most frequently are those describing diseases for which surgery may seem advisable. The more extended attempts to write surgical textbooks for the practicing surgeon compressing both diagnosis and therapy into a single volume have necessarily resulted in incomplete descriptions which fail to give the information provided. This Atlas contains most of the common surgical procedures which are standardized and about whose technical performance there exists no essential difference of opinion. Wherever several procedures are generally recognized as useful and desirable we have as a rule selected the one which we think has best stood the test of time in the believe that it is better for the young surgeon to perform one procedure well than several procedures improperly. Should the Atlas fulfill our hopes other procedures will doubtless appear in subsequent editions. The format of the book is simple. We wished the drawings to tell the story and wished to include no more text than would conveniently fit opposite the plates." CONTENTS: General Considerations: Surgical Technique - Anesthesia - Preoperative and Postoperative Care; Surgical Operations: Neck - Chest - Abdominal Wall - Gastro-Intestinal System: Stomach Gallbaldder and Bile Ducts Small Intestine Appendix Large Intestine Sigmoid--Rectum--Anus - Spleen - Gynecological System: Abdominal Procedures Vaginal Procedures - Extremities.
