Embossed stamp on title a stamp on the head of the first page ex-libris of the Worchester Hospital and Arthur Edwards Lyons on the front endpaper. Moses Allen Starr's "Brain surgery" was the first American book on neurosurgery published the same year as Macewen's pioneering neurosurgical classic. Moses Allen Starr 1854-1932 'Professor of Neurology in the College pf Physician and Surgeons at Columbia University New York City' "had plans for a career in classical culture when he graduated from Princeton and embarked for Germany to study Greek and Roman history. In Berlin however several visits to Helmholtz's laboratory revived a latent interest in natural science. He returned to his native New York graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons P&S Columbia University did a residency at Bellevue Hospital then returned to Europe to work at Heidelberg Vienna and Paris. On return to New York he set up a laboratory in his home and in 1884 published an essay on the sensory tracts of the central nervous system elucidating some of the then-current questions of myelination. Starr's regard as an American pioneer in the field of cerebral localization stemmed from his participation in a symposium on that subject with the famous English neurologist David Ferrier and neurosurgeon Victor Horsley who were delegates to the 1888 Congress of American Physicians and Surgeons in Washington D.C. He became professor of nervous diseases at the Montreal Neurological Institute. During neurosurgical operations they electrically stimulated the surface of the exposed unanesthetized brains of patients who were talking. On-going speech was blocked by excitation of the parietal-temporal area the inferior frontal area and the supplemental motor area of the left hemisphere Penfield & Roberts 1959. Those experimental protocols were a continuation of Penfield's long quest to add to the knowledge of body representations on the neocortex." H.W. Magoun & L.

Moses Yale Beach 1800 - 1868 was an inventor publisher early owner of the New York Sun originator of print syndication and founder of the Associated Press. He acquired the Sun in 1835 after marrying the original owner Benjamin Day's 1810 - 1899 sister and buying the former out. He invented print syndication in 1841 by publishing a two-page supplement to his newspaper and selling it to a number of other journals on the East Coast. Related to that Beach mailed the current circular to presumably proprietors of news agencies and newspapers requesting that they send him files of papers published at or near their stations and containing market commercial monetary general etc. information. He promised to reciprocate promptly not only with his own news but with pieces from various newspapers from his exchange lists. By the author unknown books
1863215941863. Medal of Honor Recipient Moses Veale Signed Civil War muster out roll dated June 8 1863 documents the discharge of 1st Lieutenant Orson Foot of the 60th New York Volunteer Infantry so he could accept a commission as Captain during the opening phase of the Gettysburg campaign. Issued at Aquia Creek Virginia the document bears the signature of Captain Moses Veale as mustering officer a Union officer later awarded the Medal of Honor for extraordinary gallantry during the Civil War. Veale's citation records that during the Battle of Wauhatchie Tennessee he continued directing his men after being struck by four enemy bullets and having his horse shot from under him. The presence of Veale's signature transforms the document from routine military administration into a signed record connected to one of the war's most decorated acts of battlefield courage. At the same time the roll records Foot's discharge to accept promotion during the Gettysburg Campaign. <br /> Foot Orson. Civil War muster out roll. Aquia Creek Virginia June 8 1863. One manuscript sheet completed in official Union Army muster format and signed by Captain Moses Veale as mustering officer. The document certifies that the officer "carefully examined this Roll. and mustered the said Orson Foot for discharge; and I hereby honorably discharge him from the service of the United States." It records Foot's enrollment at Ogdensburg New York on September 16 1861 identifies his rank as 1st Lieutenant in the 60th New York Volunteer Infantry and notes in the remarks that he was mustered out "to accept Commission of Captain." The sheet therefore documents the administrative transition by which an officer left one commission to assume another within the wartime command structure.<br /> <br /> The document's date and place situate it at the evacuation of Aquia Creek Landing one of the Army of the Potomac's principal logistical bases. Established during earlier campaigns in northern Virginia Aquia Creek served as a major supply depot linking Washington with Union forces in the field. As Robert E. Lee advanced north in June 1863 the Union command dismantled and abandoned the installation to support the army's rapid movement toward Pennsylvania. By the very day this roll was issued June 8 Federal forces were evacuating and destroying the depot to prevent its use by Confederate troops. Foot's promotion therefore occurred amid the redeployment that would culminate at the Battle of Gettysburg. Single manuscript sheet measuring approximately 32 x 11 inches when unfolded. Some age toning scattered ink staining and edge wear consistent with large-format wartime administrative documents; overall good condition. A substantial Civil War military document combining Gettysburg campaign context with the signature of Medal of Honor recipient Moses Veale whose later battlefield heroism makes his autograph particularly desirable within Civil War military manuscripts. A substantial Civil War military document produced during the evacuation of Aquia Creek and the opening phase of the Gettysburg campaign. unknown

Short .5" splits starting at the ends of one mailing fold. A transcript will be included. <br /><br />Aldrich was a member of the 12th Rhode Island Infantry. The regiment mustered into service on 18 October 1862. It was immediately deployed to Washington DC and assigned to Casey's Division. It encamped near Arlington Heights and Fairfax Seminary in Northern Virginia as part of the Union's defense of the Capitol following its defeat at the First Battle of Bull Run Manassas. In this letter Aldrich reports: <p style="margin-left:3%; margin-right:3%;">"As to the country it is all ruend hear if the North was in the same shap as the south is I think they might began to grumble for all you can see har is tents for a fur as you can see and the ground is all trampld up wee are a mile beyond fair fax cemnary and 2 miles this side Alxander on the East fort Elsworth on the south fort lions on the west fort Worth on the north fort Blanker we are about in the midle of them sence I left Washington I have not seen a fence nor a stoon wal nor cant see one for as far as I can see and I can see for 20 miles. . . . you think that five hundred are a good meney but if you bee on revue whare thare is 25000 as thare was last Sunaday you might think tham was a fine. they say that foks don't sleep with dead focks but I don't bleeve it for I have sleep with ded fooks thay were fixen our tent and the ground was uneven and in digen it level wee dug one foot deap we dug out a man that was bared in a fue days after the battle of bull run under whare I sleep but all of the ground is full of Dead hear" <p>He also mentions that he visited Alexandria where he saw the place of Colonel Ellsworth murder purchased some song sheets and was horrified by the number and condition of the sick and wounded: <p style="margin-left:3%; margin-right:3%;">"I was yesterday to Alxandr and see where Col Alwerth was kiled in the Marchall Hotell and when I come by the north of Alxander and see the wounded and sick and disabled solgers thare is 16000 of them the most disgraded beans that I ever see in my life. . . .

Ellsworth was killed at the Marshall House hotel while removing the Confederate flag flying above it. For seven weeks Union forts were built along the Potomac River and planning was begun to construct a ring of camps to protect Washington. Following the Union defeat at Bull Run makeshift camps and forts were built throughout the Arlington region to defend direct approaches to the Capitol. Forts Ellsworth Lyon Worth and Blenker later renamed Reynolds were some of the most significant. <br /><br /> books

1884688281884. Am. J. M. Sc. 88. - Philadelphia The American Journal of the Medical Sciences July 1884 8° 51 1 pp. 2 Figs. orig. wrappers. Rare Offprint! "The localization of brain functions has been raised from the level of an hypothesis to that of a definitely ascertained fact within the past ten years. Meynert was the first to discard the doctrine of Flourens that the brain acted as a whole and on anatomical grounds declared that different portions possessed different powers. The study of aphasia led French observers independently to the same result. Fritsch and Hitzig in Germany and Ferrier in England arrived at a similar conclusion soon after by means of their well-known physiological experiments upon animals and the results reached by them have been confirmed in a most striking manner by Munk Dalton and others. But while anatomical study demonstrating a connection between various organs of the body and definite regions of the surface of the brain may furnish grounds for a priori reasoning as to the function of those regions; and while physiological experiments upon animals may afford valuable suggestions as to the probable effect of limited brain disease in man an accurate determination of the question of localization can only be reached by a study of clinical cases. The appreciation of this fact has led Charcot Ferrier Nothnagel Exner Wernicke and others to collect the cases on record in which a limited area of disease whose position was determined by a careful autopsy had given rise to definite symptoms. From the comparison and classification of these eases certain general conclusions have been reached and it is now possible to refer many symptoms occurring in the course of brain disease to a destruction of a definite area of the surface." Starr Moses Allen Starr 1854-1932 'Professor of Neurology in the College pf Physician and Surgeons at Columbia University New York City' "had plans for a career in classical culture when he graduated from Princeton and embarked for Germany to study Greek and Roman history.

Each document is filled out in the hand of Moses Wingate in his capacity as Justice of the Peace of Haverhill. Formerly bound with sewing and glue marks along the spine otherwise the documents themselves are mostly near fine or better with a few of them exhibiting small chips or tears. Each document contains the names of the adversaries and usually the decision by default which is filled out and Signed by Moses Wingate. A few have extensive notes on the verso but most are straightforward defaults.

1821158589London: Henry Setchel and Son c.1821. A finely printed collection in an attractive contemporary binding. The exquisite illustrations by Henry Moses depicting fashionable Neoclassical-style dress and furniture were praised by the English art critic Sacheverell Sitwell as "probably the finest and neatest engravings that have ever made their appearance between the covers of a book" quoted in Watkin p. 52. Henry Moses 1781-1870 a printmaker and engraver who specialized in classical design was distinguished by his "neatness and purity of outline" ODNB. Designs of Modern Costume was commissioned by Thomas Hope art collector and patron and all the scenes in the volume are depicted against the background of his museum-residence in Duchess Street. Hope himself was involved in the design and composition of the suite. "The persons shown throughout the book - in what are effectively a series of conversation pieces - are dressed in modernized versions of the ancient Greek costumes which Hope had recreated from antique sculpture and vase-paintings. The women's costumes are an enchanting compromise between the fashions of the fifth century B.C. and of 1810; and as such they appear to be unique in the history of Regency costume" Watkin pp. 219-220. This work first appeared in 1812 with only 20 plates. The present copy is an enlarged edition containing all the plates from the first edition and nine additional designs; multiple impressions of this edition with variant titles and imprints are known though the order of their publication is debated. Savage in his catalogue of early printed books in the British Architectural Library states that the present undated variant is quite possibly "the first to have been published with 29 plates. issued between around 1820 and 1822"; he assigned a date of c.1821 on the basis of the imprint as Henry Setchel died or retired in 1822. Octavo 218 x 160 mm. Engraved title page and 29 plates. Contemporary red straight-grain morocco spine with gilt ruled raised bands lettering and floral decoration gilt in compartments covers bordered with a double gilt fillet and a blind foliate roll small ornaments blind stamped to corners gilt decoration to board edges and turn-ins marbled endpapers edges gilt.
