1852toby1852<p>1852 softcover pamphlet discussing the downside of tobacco. When I got this the cover was off. Volume has had some restoration: cover is backed with matching paper and reattached. Paper and binding are fragile but overall readable with a gentle touch. Primary defect is the corner off the front page. Interior has foxing and stains but no vandalism. I think the author comes out of the same group that published Solomon Spittle which I also have listed. 1852 is the first year this was published but this is titled "Fourth Thousand" so this is an early printing. Has 8 plates that are included in pagination. 179 pages complete as issued. An uncommon item generally found in poor condition. This is decent not great which sometimes is the best you can do. Topic is health problems of tobacco. Discusses addiction acute toxicity chronic health problems including heart and lung disease as well as problems of second hand smoke. Auction records show only 2 sold and last seen in 1984. Both were dated 1852. Feel free to inquire. Please see scans of the book you will receive.</p> For the Author by Edward Livermore paperback

Simeon Ackroyd Shaw 1785 - 1859 was a 19th-century English scientific writer industrial historian and teacher. He spent his working life in the Staffordshire Potteries now the city of Stoke-on-Trent England.

After some 20 years of newspaper and printing work living in Wolstanton he then went into teaching. He ran several teaching academies in the district. His first book was this 6-volume work which was based on his obviously very comprehensive series of popular short lectures on everything from natural species to meteorites. First Edition. Boards.
