An interesting document of privateering in the Peninsular war this â€˜Public Instrument of Protestâ€˜ documents a Portuguese captain and crew complaint in detail to an English notary. After sailing from Calcutta to Brazil and then from Rio to just outside of Lisbon their ship the 700-ton â€˜Oceanoâ€™ was seized and comprehensively ransacked by a French privateer the â€˜Lionâ€™ out of Lorient. Most of the crew and passengers were offloaded onto a passing American vessel the â€˜Ledaâ€™ bound for Lisbon. Meanwhile the â€˜Lyonâ€™ escorted her prize towards the nearest French port but before a friendly haven was reached they were both set upon by the brigantine HMS â€˜Achatesâ€™. The â€˜Lyonâ€™ escaped but the â€˜Oceanâ€™ was captured by Commander Morrison and the â€˜Achetesâ€™. The â€™Oceanâ€™ was taken to Plymouth and moored in the Hamoaze. The remaining Portuguese crew who had been forced to remain aboard the â€˜Oceanâ€™ by the French got a message to the â€˜Oceanâ€™s Master Dn. Ignacio Joze Martins and he and the boatswain made their way to Plymouth as quickly as possible. The sworn statement presented here is in English thanks to the translation given by Francisco Martins d' Magalhaens master of a Portuguese ship â€œnow dwelling in Plymouthâ€ The â€™Oceanoâ€™ sailed from Calcutta to Brazil arriving 10th February 1813. She left Rio on 4th April all was plain sailing until the afternoon of the 7th June off the Rock of Lisbon when the â€˜Lionâ€™ showed up first under false British colors then French. The fighting was fierce the privateer was driven off once but eventually the â€˜Oceanoâ€™ was taken. The night of the 7th June was spent by the French â€˜conveying everything Moveable and Valuable from the Ocean to the Privateerâ€™. The â€˜Ledaâ€™ the US vessel landed the majority of the â€˜Oceanâ€™s crew including the Master in Lisbon on the evening of the 9th June.Monday 14th June the â€˜Lyonâ€™ engaged in a running battle with HMS â€˜Achatesâ€™ and escaped but the â€˜Achatesâ€™ did capture the â€˜Oceanâ€™. Wednesday 16th June the â€˜Oceanâ€™ arrived in Plymouth under the watchful eye of the â€˜Achatesâ€™. Receiving the crewâ€™s message the Captain of the â€˜Oceanâ€™ left Lisbon for Falmouth and then Plymouth arriving on the 20th July. The document was dated 21st July 1813.

Ma'aleh Bet Horin Ve-hu Seder Hagadah Shel Pesah/ Hagadah Shel Pesah ke-Minhag Ashkenazim ukhe-Minhag Sefaradim THIRD EDITION OF THE AMSTERDAM HAGGADAH MISSING THE MAP

178132033Amsterdam: Yaccov Proops 1781. Third edition. Hardcover. g-. Quarto. 2 52 double-sided leaves. Rebacked in modern brown leather spine over original period brown leather boards. Gilt lettering and ruling on the spine. Modern endpapers. Profusely illustrated throughout with copperplate engravings. Includes both an initial illustrated title page with copperplate engravings surrounding the text Ma'aleh Bet Horin and a printed title page with decorative woodblock borders and the publisher's device. In addition to the Hebrew text a few sections throughout are in Judeo-German Yiddish printed in Vaybertaytsh script. This third edition of the famous Amsterdam Haggadah found the work reformatted into a smaller size and saw the title officially changed to Maleh Beit Horin meaning "house free men". Most of the same famous copperplate engravings by Abraham ben Jacob aka Abraham bar Yaccov that previously appeared in the 1695 and 1712 editions are retained here. The two images added to the 1712 second edition are included the illustrated order of the Seder and the complete ten plagues but four of the full series of images included in the first two editions are not present. These missing images are Abraham smashing the idols of his father Moses receiving the Ten Commandments a Mount Sinai Moses and Aaron coming to Pharaoh and the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. In our copy the engraved title and three other other engravings contain contemporary hand-coloring the rabbis of Bene Brak the Four Sons the angels visiting Abraham. The text of this third edition replaces the complete running commentary from Isaac Abravanel of the earlier editions with 3 additional text commentaries. These include the "Gevurot Hashem" from the Maharal of Prague Judah Loew ben Bezalel writings by Rabbi Moshe Alshich and "Olelot Ephraim" a collection of ethical homilies by Rabbi Shlomo Ephraim Luntschitz. However Abravanel's commentary is present following Yishtabach through the end of the Seder and in the initial six-leaf section preceding the text of the Passover seder which discusses the laws of Passover. This copy is lacking the original engraved map of the Holy Land at the rear as it was originally issued. Binding with some rubbing and abrasions to the original boards and spine. Interior with heaving staining to pages throughout with text still legible. Biding and interior in in good- condition overall.

A scarce very good complete set of this landmark early 20th century compilation of American pediatrics.ISAAC ARTHUR ABT 1867 – 1955 began his practice in internal medicine but gravitated to pediatrics with a particular interest in nutrition and became one of the earliest specialists in the field. After a year at the University of Chicago preparatory school he entered the 3-year pre-medical program at Johns Hopkins University in the Fall of 1886. At Johns Hopkins Isaac was greatly influenced by the outstanding pathologist William Henry Welch. In 1889 he entered the Chicago Medical College's two-year course. Abt took his internship at Michael Reese Hospital 1891-1892. Then Abt took the usual "grand tour" of Europe for his postgraduate training leaving in the fall of 1892 and returning in January 1894. From 1894 to 1897 he was assistant in pediatrics and instructor in physiology histology and physiology of the nervous system at the Chicago Medical College Northwestern University Medical School. In 1909 Abt became Chairman of the Department of Pediatrics at Northwestern University. He remained at Northwestern until his retirement in 1939. His most important work in support of pediatric hospital facilities began in 1910 when Edward Morris of the meat-packing family called on him with a proposal for a children's hospital. This hospital to be named after Edward's mother Sarah was to be the finest in Chicago. The Sarah Morris Hospital was acknowledged to be one of the finest in the country comparable to the Harriet Lane Home at Johns Hopkins. Abt's comprehensive knowledge of the rapidly expanding literature of pediatrics was in good part the result of his service as Editor of the Year Book of Pediatrics from 1902 to 1940. He was one of the founders of the American Journal of the Diseases of Children. His major work the 8-volume System of Pediatrics was published in 1923-1926 offered here. This became a classic in its field. With Edward Lasker he developed an electric breast pump that became highly successful. He was the first physician in Chicago to administer diphtheria antitoxin and he was the first American pediatrician to use protein milk in the treatment of diarrhea. Abt pioneered in the early work on incubators for premature infants. Abt was an active and productive member of numerous organizations. He was Chairman of the American Medical Association's Section on Pediatrics in 1911 and served as the Section's representative in the House of Delegates from 1918 to 1935. In 1925 he presented an informative and detailed report before the House on the methods of sale and promotion of infant foods that has served as a standard ever since. He also was a member of a joint committee of the AMA and the National Education Association. He was Chairman of the Committee on Medical Care for Children at President Hoover's White House Conference in 1930. Abt had been made a Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor in 1927. Isaac Arthur Abt became one of the most prominent pediatricians in the United States and for many years enjoyed an international reputation as well. Volume 1 containsGARRISON-MORTON No. 6353.

The premise of the stories is that in the waning days of a future Galactic Empire the mathematician Hari Seldon devises the theory of psychohistory a new and effective mathematics of sociology. Using statistical laws of mass action it can predict the future of large populations. Seldon foresees the imminent fall of the Empire which encompasses the entire Milky Way and a dark age lasting 30000 years before a second empire arises. Although the momentum of the Empire's fall is too great to stop Seldon devises a plan by which "the onrushing mass of events must be deflected just a little" to eventually limit this interregnum to just one thousand years. The books describe some of the dramatic events of those years as they are shaped by the underlying political and social mechanics of Seldon's Plan. " fromw Wikipedia .
