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.

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. We suspect most of the plaintiffs were businessmen or shopkeepers and most of the defendants were defaulters on small accounts.<br /> <br /> Wingate born in 1769 was a distinguished resident of Haverhill in Essex County near the New Hampshire border who lived to more than 100 dying in 1870 and who cast a vote in every presidential election from Washington to Grant. He was at various times a member of the Massachusetts State House of Representatives and Senate and Justice of the Peace of Haverhill for nearly half a century.<br /> <br /> Among the plaintiffs here represented is publisher and printer Daniel Appleton founder of the important publisher D. Appleton and Company; as well as members of the locally prominent Carlton Minot Emerson Ingersoll and Whittier families John Greenleaf Whittier was born in Haverhill in 1807; at least three different Whittiers are named here presumably relatives.<br /> <br /> An interesting historical insight into business and justice in the early days of the Republic. unknown

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. 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.

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
