1861SS3608London:: Macmillan 1861. 1861. 8vo. xii 532 ads. 28 pp. Folding plate containing 12 geometric diagrams index. Original green blind-stamped cloth gilt spine; beautifully rebacked preserving original spine. Choice copy. Scarce First edition of Todhunter's important historical work including his own research. Todhunter designed his work to follow that of Robert Woodhouse whose A TREATISE ON ISOPERIMETRICAL PROBLEMS AND THE CALCULUS OF VARIATIONS 1810 covered the history up through the end of the eighteenth century. "Within these years he also labored at some works of a more strictly scientific character. Professor Woodhouse who was the forerunner of the Analytical Society had written a history of the calculus of variations ending with the eighteenth century; this work was much admired for its usefulness by Todhunter and as he felt a decided taste for the history of mathematics he formed and carried out the project of continuing the history of that calculus during the nineteenth century. It was the first of the great historical works which has given Todhunter his high place among the mathematicians of the nineteenth century. This history was published in 1861; in 1862 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London. In 1863 he was a candidate for the Sadlerian professorship of Mathematics to which Cayley was appointed. Todhunter was not a mere mathematical specialist. He was an excellent linguist; besides being a sound Latin and Greek scholar he was familiar with French German Spanish Italian and also Russian Hebrew and Sanskrit. He was likewise well versed in philosophy and for the two years 1863–5 acted as an Examiner for the Moral Science Tripos of which the chief founders were himself and Whewell." – A. Macfarlane Lectures on Ten British Mathematicians of the Nineteenth Century New York: Wiley and London: Chapman and Hall 1916 pp. 134–146. Todhunter 1820-1884 English mathematician was one of the most influential figures in mathematical education of the 19th century. - DNB. Zeitlinger Sotheran I p. 249: "Very scarce".

A good copy in the publisher's brown cloth with a large chip to the top of the spine affecting part of the stamped title. Ex-American Philosophical Society library with a small label to the spine and their stamp on the title page else unblemished internally. A presentation copy SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Dr. Isaac Parrish a prominent member of the committee and a leading Philadelphia doctor and social reformer on the front free endpaper possibly in a secretarial hand: "To Library Amer Philos. Society from Dr. Isaac Parrish Member of the Committee." This extensive review of the condition of public health in American cities is an early example of organized public health advocacy in America. In-depth analyses of housing and sanitation infrastructure and hospital capacities are presented at length. The AMA had only been founded two years before this report in 1847 and began publishing its "Transactions" in 1848 still published today as the highly distinguished "JAMA". Thus this extensive report is one of the first large-scale studies produced by the AMA and represents a significant record of American medicine during a period of rapid change on the frontier rapidly crowding cities and the limited capacity of small local governments and a weak federal government to meet the challenges of widespread disease outbreaks.<br /> <br /> A lengthy eulogy for Dr. Parrish by Dr. Samuel Jackson presented to the College of Physicians of Philadelphia was published by Lippincott in 1853 and lists Parrish's many accomplishments. He was an early Abolitionist as well as an advocate for prison reform and other difficult social questions of the day. He wrote at length on the problems and possible solutions to various sanitary conditions in his hometown of Philadelphia and advocated for better sanitation infrastructure.<br /> <br /> OCLC holdings for this offprint are muddled with some digital-only holdings difficult to distinguish from physical holdings. Nevertheless only perhaps a dozen or so copies are retained by institutions and presumably not a great many of these were printed. The first few volumes of the AMA's "Transactions" are quite scarce and desirable in commerce. T. K. and P. G. Collins hardcover

Large quarto. 1 23 1pp. Text 10 lithographic plates uncut. Original yellow wrappers with black lettering on cover protected by modern mylar. <br /> <br /> Isaac Hays 1796-1879 nephew of educator and philanthropist Rebecca Gratz was a renown ophthalmologist editor and medical ethicist and was among the "extremely quarrelsome" Philadelphians who described fossil vertebrates in the 1830s and 40s. Hays argued that his name Saurodon for a New Jersey specimen should replace Richard Harlan's Saurocephalus on the grounds that Harlan's 1824 description of a specimen from Iowa was inaccurate.Today Saurodon and Saurocephalus are both genera belonging to the subfamily Saurodontinae. <br /> <br /> In 1830 John D. Godman described a fossil specimen from Orange County NY as a new type of elephant dubbing it Tetracaulodon. Harlan whom Godman disliked and had accused of plagiarism argued it was a juvenile mastodon. Hays took Godman's side publishing "Descriptions of the inferior maxillary bones of mastodons" 1833 on the subject. Across the Atlantic Richard Owen initially joined Godman's camp and English transplant George Featherstonhaugh vocally subscribed to the juvenile mastodon theory which eventually prevailed. <br /> <br /> This volume is complete with its 10 plates numbered XX to XXIX with b/w illustrations of mastodon bone structures.
