1849648951849. Boston Med. Surg. J. 40. - Boston David Clapp February to August 1849 8° 528 pp. 1 plate half leather with marbled boards; fine. First Edition! "This method consists essentially in the use of gutta percha in taking the impression of a stricture ; and also avails itself of the plasticity of this gum in dilating the stricture." The use of gutta percha bougies is not new ; it is attributed to a physician in Singapore ; but I have neither seen not heard any allusion to their being employed to take an impression of strictures which so far I can judge constitutes their chief if not their only value. I have received within a day or two through the politeness of Mr. Burnett apothecary in Tremont Row a sample of bougies with which he has been furnished by the Gutta Percha Company in New York excellent in appearance but which I have not had an opportunity of testing". Bigelow Henry Jacob Bigelow 1818-1890 American surgeon and Professor of Surgery at Harvard University. A dominating figure in Boston medicine for many decades he is remembered for the Bigelow manoeuvre for hip dislocation a technique for treatment of kidney stones and other innovations. He was instrumental in bringing the anesthetic possibilities of ether to the attention of medical men. hardcover

1878127931Columbus OH: Jacob H. Studer & Co 1878. Hardbound. Overall VG with the notable and large exception of the circular ink ownership stamp on every single color plate. Ink stamp to top and bottom of text block. Sold as a reference copy only not as a collectible book. Sturdy black library buckram. 182 pp with 119 interleaved tissue-guarded color lithographed plates preceded before the title page by an extensive index of 8pp. "Ornithology; Or the Science of Birds" was also published by Studer in 1878.

It also seems as if this first printing from 1878 has the superior presentation of color plates compared to the later editions. Jacob H. Studer & Co hardcover

186643052Washington D.C.: n.p. 1866. First edition. A very good copy with inch marginal closed tear light soiling faint marginal stain. Broadside. 6 x 9 1/2 inches. Michigan senator Jacob Merritt Howard 1805-1871 who had worked closely with Lincoln in drafting and passing the Thirteenth Amendment was a strong supporter of his measures including "emergency actions during the secession crisis and advocated 'severe exemplary and speedy punishment of the rebels. He was especially vocal on all matters pertaining to the confiscation of rebel property and the emancipation of slaves. He was also one of the most forceful advocates of the 1863 Conscription Act" ANBO. His ire extended to trying for treason the Confederate leaders. In December he wanted to know why Davis had not been put on trial and now despite it being well-known that Davis did not have complicity in Lincoln's murder he declared in this resolution that Davis be "charged with the crimes of having incited the assassination of Abraham Lincoln President of the United States and with the murder of soldiers of the Unites States held a prisoners of war during the rebellion and other cruel and barbarous practices in violation of the rules and usages of civilized war." Clement C. Clay was also to be tried. It appears that Merritt's resolution never made it to the floor for a second reading as was required by law. Scarce.

18739281n. p.: n. p. - self-published 1873. First Edition. Very good-. Octavo 584pp. illustrated plus folding map. All illustrations called for in the list are present though a few are inserted a leaf or two off from their called-for locations. A sound unrestored example about very good in the publisher's brown cloth with black glossy cloth spine. Spine worn with an end-to-end razor-thin vertical slice and old tape repairs to the crown. Though unsightly the binding is still rather crisp. A few internal leaves a bit loosened but intact. Mild scattered foxing though most leaves remain very bright indeed. Delightful contemporary Columbus bookseller ticket on the front paste-down for "Hubbard & Jones". A scarce and important volume of Columbus OH history. A kind of enhanced directory with essays and narratives about Columbus history present business and government activities and the like. The engraved illustrations are well-executed giving a very clear picture of some of the major Columbus sights and institutions of the day a number of which are still standing. The tissue folding map which has only a marginal tear at the hinge almost inevitable for such a fragile document is a bird's eye view of downtown Columbus as it appeared in 1873. Many dozens--perhaps more than a hundred--advertisements are located within the text and also on the endpapers. <br/> <br/> Studer a printer and publisher was also an ornithologist and his best-known work was "The Birds of North America" known colloquially as "the poor man's Audubon." Published in small folio format the work was illustrated with over 100 chromolithograph plates. <br/> <br/> OCLC records are hopelessly muddled as digital holdings and physical holdings are listed under the same accession number. Suffice it to say that the digital holdings likely outnumber the physical holdings by a significant margin. The last copy we could trace in commerce was a rebacked example offered in 1982. An important volume of Columbus history in original condition. Thomson 1117. Bradford 5282. Not in Howes. [n. p. - self-published] unknown
