Secret Proceedings and Debates of the Convention Assembled at Philadelphia in the year 1787 for the purpose of forming the constitution of the United States of America from the notes taken by the late Robert Yates Esq.

Washington D.C.: United States Government Printing Office 1909. 208 pp. Ex-library with stamps. Cloth worn with gilt lettering. Internally clean. $75. Reprint of a work first published in Albany in 1821. Along with Alexander Hamilton and Jon Lansing Jr. Yates represented New York at the constitutional convention. Believing that the convention was exceeding its authority he left it and became a leading Anti- Federalist. Martin was a member of the committee that represented Maryland at the convention. "The Genuine Information" was on an important and widely circulated anti-federalist pamphlet. James Madison thought that Yates and Martin "appear to have reported in angry terms what they observed with jaundiced eyes." It must be added that Yates's notes were often more detailed than Madison's. "Luther Martin's Genuine Information is a general summary of the course of the Debates with a running criticism on each of the Constitution's articles.

Influential manual for mothers and nurses by Holt 1855-1924 an American author physician and pioneer in the field of pediatrics who helped shape the New York Babies Hospital into the leading pediatric facility of its time. The book was expanded from Holt's Catechism for Nurses 1893 a pamphlet prepared for nursery-maids during their four months training at the Babies Hospital. "The nurses studied the catechism and when they graduated took it with them. There followed requests for copies from their employers and the supply was soon exhausted. It was apparent there was a popular demand for something of the kind. The catechism was expanded and in 1894 The Care and Feeding of Children made its appearance.Probably no one would have been more surprised than Dr. Holt or his publishers had they been told that they were launching a volume that was to go through seventy-five printings and which was to be translated into Spanish Russian and Chinese.The book became the mainstay of many a worried mother and exerted no inconsiderable influence on the profession as well for the practitioners had to keep abreast of the pediatric knowledge which the mothers possessed" DUFFUS R.L. L. Emmett Holt. NY 1940 pp.116-117. <br/><br/>Prior to the publication of The Care and Feeding of Children there was no standard text for pediatric care in print for laymen or medical professionals.
