1854M7535Baltimore: Jacob Monk 1854. Some minor discolourations and some marginal chipping and staining not affecting the map altogether a very good copy laid down on original canvas as a scroll on two wooden rods. . Notes: Inset map of the world sits beneath the title in the lower left corner. It is centred on the Americas and charts the course of Wilkes' circumnavigation of the globe in the 1840s. To its right sits an index of counties and towns. Above the title on the left side are a legend and scale. On the right by the mid margin is a table of distances. The oceans are decorated with tall ships and the whole map sits within a decorative floral border.<br><br>This map marks the dawn of the Manifest Destiny era of American history. Soon after the American victory of Mexico large new states and territories were carved out from the newly acquired land. Here we see the newly formed California and Texas along with the Oregon and Washington territories securing the country's claim to the Pacific coast. With California's gold rush getting into full swing the map accentuates many details of that state's gold region. North-South tensions are revealed in the ambiguity of the central states and territories: Northern interests sought to create a massive Nebraska territory which would have included present-day Kansas; however Southern lawmakers pressed Congress to make two separate territories.

His Emblemata here with the title Minnezinne-beelden are illustrated with 30 charming half-page emblems engraved by Christoffel le Blon or Pieter Serwouters printed from the same plates as used in the original edition of the Emblemata in 1611 each with a Dutch Latin and French motto repeated below the engraving followed by distichs in the same three languages. The Latin verses are by C.G. Plemp the French by R.J. de Nérée.The portrait of Pieter Dirkszoon Hasselaer who was a lay judge and member of the Amsterdam counsel has here been reduced in size; it was first published in Hooft's Lijkklaght over Pieter Dircxz. Hasselaer 1617. Also included are Hooft's sonnets songs miscellaneous poems and wedding poems on the two weddings of P.C. Hooft: with Christina van Erp in 1610 and Heleonora Hellemans in 1627 by C.G.

Burgdorf 1723. Ad I: First edition of this interesting work of baroque literature. "In the year 1658 a script was published with the purported place of publication Lutetia Paris that caused a most disagreeable sensation: Heutelia Anagram for Helvetia . It contains the following fiction: A Palatine nobleman and a jurist from Wurttemberg both Protestants flee from the Thirty Years War to Switzerland and making ironical comments as they travel from place to place . The tone is unrestrained satirical and sometimes cynical especially when the status of women is concerned. A lot of brutianism is involved. Behind that facade however there is a scientific seriousness that gets to the bottom of things . The intention was always to uncover the oddities of Switzerland." transl. from Feller/Bonjour. Politically the travellers represent the aristocracy and take a firm stand against democracy. Zurich comes away relatively lightly whereas Bale does not. Of Bern however an unsparing social picture is outlined that led to a storm of protest and the "Gnadigen Herren" tried to surpress the book by all means. "Heutelia" was already identified in the 18th c. as a "liber satyricus rarissimus". Haller talks of a rare work and names as authors Jakob Graviseth or Gravisset Herr zu Liebenegg and Landvogt von Oron. More recent research especially by Walter Weigum declares the "Heutelia" to have been written by Hans Franz Veiras 1577-1672 the secretary of the Palatine Elector and Bohemian King Friedrich V who had fled to Zurich. Graviseth maybe translated and reworked the "Heutelia" from Latin giving it a Swissgerman interpretation. At the end the key to the names is found for example: Guretum=Zurich Sebilacopolis=Bale Rusinopolis=Bern Bonzus Corvinus=Jesuit Druida=Pastor Muftus=Messpriest etc. Ad II: First edition of the historic work by the Burgdorf councilman H.R. Grimm 1665-1749 who participated in the 2nd Villmerger War in 1712. Although this popular writing has many misrepresentations and mistakes it is characterized by its lively descriptions. The work also contains popular descriptions of the mountains rivers and natural wonders of Switzerland.

19360001914EUSKIRCHEN GERMANY. Good. 1936. On offer is a superb 1936 manuscript relic titled 'Fahrt: Lieder und Bilder' being one German soldier's patriotic paean to forgotten German wars and heroic songs. Handwritten by Jacob Winkel in Euskirchen Germany the soldier presents a very historical German perception of war and the songs of conquerors. This soldier had a passion for the very historical Lion of Brabant which has a history dating back to the 11th century. This may also be a clue to his background as in WWII the Brabant Lion was associated moreso with the Flemish Lion which is understandable as many Belgium produced many troops and even SS soldiers for Germany. They were incredibly anti-communist so most went to serve at the Russian Front. There are more contemporary and lost songs all in the context of the upcoming World War II. The notebook has 26 well filled pages and is illustrated by hand with historical notes which include the drawing of the sword and the harp with the words Platoff refers to Count Platoff general in chief; Hetman of the Don Cossacks refers to Matvei Platov who was the leader of the Don Cossacks and a feared commander of cavalry. Platov's tactics became famous in the 1812 French invasion of Russia when his men lived off the land and constantly harried the much stronger French forces. Using the harsh Russian winter to its best advantage Platov continually punished the beleaguered French infantry on its retreat from Moscow. There is a real photo postcard tucked in the notebook which we can assume was the author himself. A note on the back which we cannot translate may confirm.

Genf 1731. 2.686 Seiten auf 29 Mikrofiches. "Il compilait compilait compilait!" "Unter diesen fiktiven aber durchaus treffenden Leitsatz stellte ein Kritiker des 19. Jahrhunderts rückblickend das Lebenswerk des Genfer Arztes Jean-Jacques Manget. Tatsächlich eröffnen die "Bibliothecae" Mangets bereits von ihrem Umfang her eine ganz neue Dimension in der Geschichte der medizinischen Lexikographie. In 18 großformatigen und teilweise mehr als tausend Seiten umfassenden Bänden wurde hier dem Leser ein umfassender Überblick über das medizinische Wissen der Zeit vermittelt unter Einschluß der "Hilfswissenschaften" Anatomie Al- Chemie Pharmazie und medizinische Bücherkunde. Neu und auch für die Geschichte der medizinischen Lexikographie in der Folgezeit einzigartig ist zugleich die kompilatorische Anlage des Werks. Manget bemühte sich nicht wie dies später bei Enzyklopädien dieses Umfangs üblich und notwendig war um die Mitarbeit von Kollegen sondern bezeichnete seine "Bibliothecae" stolz als sein eigenes Werk; lediglich für die "Bibliotheca anatomica" von 1685 firmiert Daniel Le Clerc als Mitverfasser. Um sein umfangreiches lexikographisches Unternehmen bewältigen zu können entschloß sich Manget zu einem anderen Verfahren: seine Mitautoren waren fast alle bereits tot und die Beiträge die er in seine "Bibliothecae" aufnahm waren weitestgehend für andere Zwecke verfaßt worden selbst wenn sie von lebenden Zeitgenossen stammten die diese bloß zum Abdruck zur Verfügung stellten. Nur sehr begrenzt gelangte auch bisher unveröffentlichtes Material zum Abdruck vereinzelt Manuskripte von Kollegen und aus der Feder Mangets einleitende oder Textauszüge überbrückende Passagen sowie Beiträge die er selbst zu manchen Gegenständen verfaßte. Die große Masse des Textes aber bilden oft recht ausgedehnte Ausschnitte und zuweilen sogar vollständige Abhandlungen anderer insbesondere früherer Autoren die Manget in geeigneter Weise zusammenstellte. Entscheidende logistische Grundlage für diese Kompilationen war die recht ausgedehnte Sammlung medizinischer Werke an deren Aufbau sich Manget als erfolgreicher und entsprechend wohlhabender praktischer Arzt in Genf recht intensiv bemühte; allein der "Bibliotheca anatomica" lagen rund 80 verschiedene anatomische Traktate zu Grunde. In der heutigen Situation müßte Mangets Vorgehen selbstverständlich als ziemlich absurd erscheinen und Ähnliches hätte schon für das ausgehende 18. Jahrhundert gegolten: angesichts des immer stärker beschleunigten Zuwachses an medizinischen Erkenntnissen und Erfahrungen wäre eine derart verfaßte medizinische Enzyklopädie bereits bei ihrem Erscheinen hoffnungslos veraltet und unbrauchbar. In der Zeit um 1700 aber hatte ein solches Werk durchaus auch seine wissenschaftliche Berechtigung. Medizinisches Wissen war damals noch weit überwiegend Buchwissen und stützte sich auf das Gewicht einer jahrhundertealten Tradition. Wenn auch allmählich an einzelnen Orten eine praktische klinische Ausbildung das Medizinstudium zu ergänzen begann so gründete ärztliches Handeln und der wissenschaftliche Anspruch der Medizin doch weiterhin vor allem in der eingehenden Kenntnis der medizinischen Literatur - daher auch die Bedeutung der medizinischen Bücherkunde. Mangets eigener Lebensweg veranschaulicht dies sogar in besonders plastischer Weise hatte er doch zunächst auf Wunsch seiner Eltern Theologie studiert sich anschließend sein medizinisches Wissen ausschließlich im Selbststudium aus Büchern erworben und ohne ordentliches Studium auf der Grundlage dieses Selbststudiums 1678 in Valence die medizinische Doktorwürde erlangt. Lediglich Anatomie und Physiologie bildeten in Hinsicht auf diese geringe Innovationsgeschwindigkeit eine gewisse Ausnahme denn hier hatte gerade das 17. Jahrhundert zahlreiche neue Entdeckungen gebracht. Folgerichtig führt Mangets und Le Clercs "Bibliotheca anatomica" hier fast aus- schließlich Werke der jüngeren und jüngsten Zeit an. Auf die anerkannte Brauchbarkeit und Nützlichkeit von Mangets "Bibliothecae" für den gelehrten Arzt des ausgehenden 17. und frühen 18. Jahrhunderts verweist im übrigen nicht zuletzt der offenbar beachtliche Verkaufserfolg den die einzelnen Teile des Werkes trotz des großen Umfangs und des damit zwangsläufig einhergehenden hohen Preises erzielten. Die "Bibliotheca anatomica" die "Bibliotheca medico-practica" und die "Bibliotheca pharmaceutico-medica" erschienen jeweils in zwei Auflagen oder Ausgaben. Von der "Bibliotheca anatomica" ist zudem eine englischsprachige gekürzte Fassung in drei Bänden aus dem Jahr 1711 überliefert und von der "Bibliotheca chemica curiosa" ein deutschsprachiger Auszug von C. Horlacher aus dem Jahr 1707. Nur bei den beiden letzten Werken der "Bibliotheca chirurgica" und der "Bibliotheca scriptorum medicorum" blieb es also bei einer einzigen Auflage. Inwieweit Manget von vornherein plante die gesamte Medizin im Rahmen einer - wie er später wörtlich formulierte - "Encyclopaedia medica integra" zu behandeln ist rückblickend nicht mehr mit Sicherheit zu klären. Es fällt auf daß die "Bibliotheca anatomica" von 1685 noch nicht der lexikatypischen alphabetischen Anordnung folgt sondern vielmehr eher im Sinne eines anatomischen Lehrbuchs nach dem Vorbild der älteren anatomischen Literatur den menschlichen Körper von Kopf bis Fuß behandelt; und auch die "Bibliotheca chemica curiosa" von 1702 verzichtet auf eine Angleichung an die in den anderen Werken benutzte "forma Dictionarium" wofür allerdings ein alphabetischer Index entschädigt. Beide Werke bilden also insofern einen gewissen Fremdkörper im Gesamtkonzept dieses Archivs wurden aber aus Gründen der Vollständigkeit und weil auch Manget sie als Teil seiner Gesamtenzyklopädie begriff und auf sie zurückverwies mitreproduziert. Für den historisch interessierten heutigen Leser und Benutzer erweisen sich Mangets Bibliothecae in mehrerlei Hinsicht als nützliches Hilfsmittel. Obschon viele Schriften die hier von Manget zusammengestellt wurden zumindest schon etwas älteren Datums waren spiegeln sie doch in der Regel das autoritative medizinische Wissen um 1700 wenn auch mit gewissen Widersprüchen im Detail als Ausdruck eines wachsenden medizinischen Pluralismus. So bieten die Bände in ihrer Gesamtheit ein einmalig umfassendes und getreues Abbild der zeitgenössischen Medizin und zwar dank zahlreicher Fallgeschichten und konkreter Handlungsanweisungen durchaus auch in praktischer Hinsicht. Gleichzeitig findet der Leser in oft sehr ausführlichen Auszügen wenn nicht gar vollständig abgedruckt in einer verhältnismäßig handlichen Zusammenstellung und in klarer thematischer Anordnung zahlreiche Traktate der abendländischen medizinischen Literatur aus der Zeit vor 1700. Manche davon zählen heute wie W. Harveys "Exercitatio de motu sanguinis" zu den Klassikern der medizinischen Literatur und sind in diversen Ausgaben leicht erhältlich. Andere von Manget herangezogene Werke aber von bekannten und weniger bekannten Autoren verfaßt sind heute vielerorts wenn überhaupt nur unter großen Schwierigkeiten zugänglich. Gewiß wird zumindest der professionelle Historiker nach Möglichkeit stets das Original vorziehen oder Mangets Extrakte zumindest anhand des Originals kontrollieren wollen. Doch selbst ihm erleichtern Mangets Kompilationen auf jeden Fall den thematischen Zugriff auch auf seltenere Werke erlauben eine erste und durchaus ins Detail gehende Orientierung über deren Inhalte und werden im Falle vieler weniger verbreiteter Werke die Suche nach geeigneten Quellen erheblich erleichtern. Die vier Bände der "Bibliotheca seriptorum medicorum vetorum et recentiorum" schließlich erscheinen wenn auch damals durchaus als praktisches Hilfsmittel für den wissenschaftlich gebildeten tätigen Arzt konzipiert nach heutigem Verständnis ohnehin von vornherein als historiographisches Instrument. Mit gut 4.000 Einträgen handelt es sich um die erste umfassende Bio-Bibliographie der führenden insbesondere literarisch hervorgetretenen Ärzte der abendländischen Medizingeschichte. Auch zahlreiche heute kaum mehr vertraute Namen finden sich hier verzeichnet und das Werk kann heute noch als wichtiger Fundbehelf bei der Identifizierung unbekannter Autoren Werke und Auflagen dienen. Daß in diesem Pionierwerk wie spätere Kritiker wiederholt anmahnten so manche Eintragung noch lücken- oder fehlerhaft war muß dabei freilich - darauf sei hier noch warnend hingewiesen - in Kauf genommen werden."

Jacob Leupold 1674-1727 was a German physicist mathematician instrument maker and engineer who was credited as an early inventor of the air pump. Leupold started his work on the Theatrum Machinarum in 1720 which was the first systematic analysis of mechanical engineering. This volume deals with bridge construction and was the first book on bridge building published in Germany. The first major treatise on bridge building was by French engineer Hubert Gautier Traité des Ponts 1716 which was the standard book for bridge building for 70 years Britannica. Leupold builds on this work with a more comprehensive treatment including increased explanation of long-span timber bridges. Christoph Zunkel, for the author hardcover

196382862New York: Terry Dintenfass 1963. First Edition. Original lithographed poster with text and illustrations printed in dark red and black on thick cream laid paper measuring 48cm x 66.25cm 18 7/8" x 26 1/8". Mild handling a few faint creases from being rolled with a half-dozen foxed spots; unbacked; Near Fine.<br /> <br /> A striking poster by Lawrence designed to promote his first solo exhibition at Terry Dintenfass Inc. in New York. The illustration was derived from Lawrence's 1963 tempera painting "Two Rebels" "showing four white policemen carrying two black men. The heads of some fifteen witnesses crowd in. In the poster that number was reduced to ten heads that float like moons of light above a protester and his police handlers with their billy clubs dangling from their wrists" Over the Line: The Art and Life of Jacob Lawrence pp.174-175. Paintings like "Two Rebels" "Soldiers and Students" and "Four Students" were almost certainly triggered by news photos and television images of the immediate events of 1960-62 in the South. The poster is not separately listed in OCLC though a signed and numbered lithograph of the image edition of 50 is held at the LC. 82862. Terry Dintenfass unknown

First SEPARATE OF BIGELOW ON ANESTHESIA the journal form has an entirely different pagination being pages 197-214 in the 1847 issue. We believe this is the original offprint form of this paper by Bigelow. There are several clear differences between this offprint form and the journal issue is 1 the pagination for the offprint is 1-18 for the journal it is 197-214 and 2 the journal issue has "C.-1. at the head of the paper and foot of the page has no page number – whereas the offprint form adds the line "Extracted. . . raises the title text higher on the page and includes a page number "1" at the bottom left margin. There is no known textual difference. <br /><br /> "The committee considered in detail the various anesthetic agents. According to the report some surgeons were afraid to use anesthesia in their surgical operations feeling that the advantages afforded by the relief of pain might be offset by the risks involved. However even at this early date authors of this report felt that a large group of surgeons were wholly in favor of anesthesia. The authors did however admit that some surgeons would restrict the use of these agents to severe operations after the introduction of ether anesthesia in Boston it was not until several months later that the method became generally popular in other communities in the United States. The favorable reports of its use in Boston and in Europe made for the more extensive use in American communities in 1847 and 1848. The dangers of etherization were also considered. In some cases it was thought that convulsions prolonged stupor intense cerebral excitement alarming depression of the vital powers and asphyxia apparently were caused by the inhalation of ether and chloroform. Secondary effects attributed to inhalation in a few cases were bronchitis pneumonia and inflammation of the brain. Interestingly enough according to this report p. 190 ether was considered to be a safer drug than chloroform" Keys pp. 36-47. <br /><br /> "Dr. Bigelow was the unflinching advocate of sulphuric ether as the only safe anesthetic: and his unshaken opinion had a very wide and lasting influence. Bigelow instituted important and productive experiments in anesthesia. He inhaled new and untried anesthetic agents. He made practical and original studies of asphyxia and thoroughly established the fact that insensibility from the inhalation of nitrous oxide gas is largely due to asphyxia. He was also the first to show that anesthesia by nitrous oxide could be accomplished with certainty only by the use of a large volume of gas; and thus made the way plain to Colton and others for its successful adoption in tooth-pulling and in brief surgical operations" Mayo p. 603. <br /><br /> Bigelow 1818–1890 born in Boston studied at Harvard from 1833 and became a prominent surgeon and Professor of Surgery at Harvard University. "His 1846 article 'Insensibility during Surgical Operations Produced by Inhalation' detailed the discovery of ether anesthesia and was selected by readers of the New England Journal of Medicine as the 'most important article in NEJM history' in commemoration of the journal's 200th anniversary." "He was a vocal opponent of vivisection and was best known for his description of the hip joint and for a technique for treating patients with kidney stones." – Wikip.
