Robert Cross Smith 1795-1832 was an English astrologer writing under the pseudonym of "Raphael". He married in 1820 and moved to London where he became interested in astrology. Together with G. W. Graham he published a book on geomancy in 1822. Smith began to edit a periodical entitled The Straggling Astrologer in 1824 but failed to receive enough subscribers and the periodical had to be discontinued after a few issues. He collected the issues of the failed periodical in a volume entitled The Astrologer Of The Nineteenth Century in the same year. From 1827 until his death in 1832 he edited an astrological almanac entitled The Prophetic Messenger. Also published by Smith was The Familiar Astrologer and A Manual of Astrology both in 1828. Smith died on 26 February 1832 in London. His almanac continued to be edited as Raphael's Ephemeris and would become a standard work in British and US American astrology.

18765735Chalchuapa El Salvador 1876. Still very good. 3pp. on a bifolium. Folio. Crinkling and minor wear at edges. Faint dampstain to upper right corner. The president of Guatemala Justo Rufino Barrios invaded El Salvador in 1876 following the presidential election there. Barrios suspected that both the elected and former presidents had been harboring Guatemalan opponents to his regime and hope to install someone more favorable. The present "political plan" for El Salvador reads more as an indictment of the two leaders Santiago Gonzalez and Andres del Valle than an as organizing document for a new government. The first signer here is Rafael Zaldivar the choice of Barrios for next president of El Salvador and the work was printed in the field at Chalchuapa on April 10 1876 approximately one week before the decisive battles that forced the capitulation of the Salvadoran government.

1890ABC_473841890. Half blind-tooled greenish brown calf and grey/green net grained cloth over boards with the title in gold on the front board red edges and decorated endpapers. Large oblong album 32 x 40 cm. 89 original photographs mostly 20 x 26 cm. In 711 a Muslim army led by Tariq ibn Ziyad conquered most of the Iberian Peninsula which was then part of the Visigothic Kingdom. This region became known as Al-Andalus with Cordoba serving as its capital. In 756 Abd ar-Rahman I established the Emirate of Cordoba as an independent state. The present photo album covers in many photographs the magnificent architecture and features of the Great Mosque of Cordoba which is considered one of the most significant architectural monuments of the western Islamic world. Built in 785 the mosque's most notable feature was its enormous hypostyle hall comprised of rows of columns connected by double tiers of arches. The lower tier included horseshoe arches and was constructed with alternating red brick and light-colored stone. Abd ar-Rahman II expanded the mosque's dimensions in 836 while preserving its original design. His successors Muhammad Al-Mundhir and Abdallah also added new features to the mosque. One of the mosque's western gates Bab al-Wuzara' now known as Puerta de San Esteban is a famous prototype of later Moorish architectural forms and motifs featuring horseshoe arches with alternating coloured and decorated voussoirs set within a decorative rectangular frame called an alfiz. At the centre of Garzóns photographic work on Córdoba was the Palace of the Lions also known as the Court of the Lions Patio de los Leones; . Situated in the center of the Alhambra with its ancient citadel consisting of a complex of forts palaces and gardens this is one of the most buildings of the period of Muslim rule. The palace was commissioned by the Nasrid sultan Muhammed V of the Emirate of Granada during the second phase of his reign between 1362 and 1391 AD. The general layout of the Palace of the Lions courtyard comprises an elongated rectangle with two halls facing each other at opposite ends which is a common feature in numerous earlier palaces throughout Al-Andalus including other Nasrid palaces located within the Alhambra such as Comares Palace. Similar designs can even be traced back to the 10th century at Madinat al-Zahra located near Cordoba. What sets the Palace of the Lions apart is the addition of two more halls which face each other across the courtyard's shorter axis. This innovation is accompanied by an extension of the columned portico to encompass all four sides of the courtyard. The four converging water channels within the courtyard's floor are generally believed to be a symbolic representation of Paradise which both Muslim and Christian traditions describe as having four rivers. This arrangement may have drawn inspiration from the Persian chahar bagh tradition which involves a garden divided into four symmetrical parts along its central axis. The Palace of the Lions combines this with the classical peristyle tradition which features a portico or arcade surrounding a courtyard. Other monuments in Al-Andalus and North Africa where they are commonly referred to as a riad or riyad also feature gardens with a chahar bagh-type quadripartite division.Rafael Garzón 1863-1923 was born in Granada became known as one of Spains foremost photographers of the early twentieth century. He owned studios situated inside the Alhambra of Granada and in Seville. His photographic work mainly focused on capturing the landscapes and monuments of Andalucía particularly his photographic portraits which gained him recognition. His studio inside The Alhambra became particularly famous. Upon his arrival in Seville in 1901 he established a studio with an elaborate Arabic theme to enhance his photographs. He photographed the aristocrats of Seville as well as the earliest tourists of the 19th century who visited Andalucía. The spread of his photographs contributed greatly to the rising touristic interest in Spain. Garzón's photography encompassed two distinct styles. His monumental photography of prominent Spanish structures such as the Alhambra the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba and the Cathedral and Reales Alcázares of Seville. The other style was a popular type of photography designed to cater to the preconceived notions of foreign visitors seeking classic gypsy portraits from Sacromonte or the Carmenes from Córdoba or Seville. His photographic work was both of high quality and commercially attractive and Garzón distributed them in various formats including postcards collector's items and travel books.The binding shows very slight signs of wear mainly around the foot of the spine the interleaved tissue paper is slightly browned the upper-outer corner of the leaves is occasionally slightly dustsoiled. hardcover

Old pebbled charcoal cloth stamped in gilt on spine not a publisher's binding good to very good light toning inner hinges cracked namestamp of Dr. Emil Froschels on title page and note in magenta pencil on flyleaf citing two pages in the contents: there are light magenta pencil marks on those two pages probably by Froschels. According to a web page managed by Judy Duchan at SUNY Buffalo Coen "was a physician specializing in speech disorders of children. In Vienna in 1886 he opened the first language outpatient clinic of Austria. He coined the term "audimute" for children who did not speak after 4 years German word: Horstummheit. He identified various speech disorders in addition to audimute and developed elaborate therapy regimens including a 70 week program of daily lessons to remedy audimutism and a program of exercise electro-therapy and elocution to remedy stammering.Coen’s therapy for children with audimutism involved several steps. One involving a “bodily gymnastic†involving strengthening exercises. A second step involved identifying pictures and objects that were named. A third step involved matching sounds spoken to the child with a letter. The child was then asked to produce the sound in isolation. Finally the child was engaged in general academic instruction involving reading writing and arithmetic." Froschels was also an important Austrian speech therapist. As a laryngologist and chief speech therapist in 1924 he introduced the term logopedics i.e. speech therapy into medical usage. He established the International Society of Logopedics and Phoniatrics and was a co-founder with Karl Cornelius Rothe of the Vienna School for Speech-Disturbed Children.
