An important German edition of Bosse's Traité des manières de graver en Taille douce 1st ed. in French: 1645 considerably augmented for the German audience. This work was translated and published by Carl Gottlieb Nitzsche from the 1745 Cochin edition. The Cochin edition was the first to promote etching with hard etching-ground vernis dur instead of the soft etching-ground vernis mol to imitate line engraving. It also featured long sections on Le Blon's color printing and the refining of mezzotint illustration. In the present book we find four illustrations of the rolling press which Cochin had updated to account for several design upgrades. There are also several diagrams and cross-sections of printing presses. This book is richly illustrated with plates and vignettes executed by Carl Gottfried Nestler 1730-80 that depict various techniques equipment and the interiors of print shops. Nestler reworked the engraved title-page from the 1645 first edition for this book's frontispiece. A very good copy internally fresh. Unidentified engraved bookplates with the initials "G.

Edwin Beer 1876 – 1938 American surgeon took his medical degree at College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York. He pioneered the endoscopic treatment of papillary bladder tumors. Beer is recognized as the founder of electrosurgery of the bladder. / "The authors base their work on twenty years' experience with diseases of the genito-urinary tract in children. The preliminary chapter is devoted to the symptomatology of genitourinary disease in young life. The technic of cystoscopy and pyelo-ureterography is discussed in some detail. Intravenous pyelography by the use of sodium-2-oxo-5-iodo-pyridine-n-acetate is described and its advantages and indications are pointed out. The use of the Bucky diaphragm is not advised. Edwin Beer writes on enuresis in childhood. He emphasizes the need for a thorough examination in order to determine the etiologic factor. Hyman writes the important chapter on infections of the urinary tract cystitis pyelitis pyelonephritis. He presents the most recent contributions to bacteriologic experimental surgical cystoscopic and roentgenographic progress. He appropriately avers that "pyelitis" is a misnomer which covers a number of conditions and that "pyuria" is more applicable until the true nature of the underlying lesion is understood . . . This monograph presents the essential clinical and special urologic data in a clear practical manner." – JAMA. 1930;9517:1286. See: G. W. Kaplan "Edwin Beer--a patriarch of pediatric urology."

6915London 1783-1816: George Eyre and Andrew Strahan Printers. Hard Cover. Folio 12" X 18 ½". The first four volumes are as follows; Vol. #1-382 leaves Vol. #2-450pp.Vol. #3- 570pp. index vol. Vol. #4-635pp. supplement vol. All are handsomely bound in 19th century ¾ calf over marbled boards raised bands with contrasting red morocco labels gilt. Joints of two volumes expertly repaired; an exceptionally nice set and quite scarce as such. There are 26 blank leaves in volume one with a few leaves containing portions of text or text on the verso. It would appear that these leaves were left blank for illustrations which evidently never took place perhaps because of the cost and manpower it would take to make it possible. The projected cost and labor is noted in volume 3. It does contain the later inserted title pages and contents leaves and the four facsimile leaves are present in the last volume the supplement two displaying hand coloring. The first two volumes are printed on hand-made laid paper watermarked "J. Whatman" and coat-of-arms with the King's Initials "GR". The last two volumes printed on hand-made wove paper by Balston & C. all uncut and wide margined. The last page cvii of the general introduction of the third volume states: "It was not however till after 1770 that the work was actually commenced. It was completed early in 1783 having been ten years in passing through the press. The type with which it was executed was destroyed in the fire which consumed Mr. Nichols' printing-office in the month of February 1808." The book itself was proposed by Mr. John Nichols and executed by Mr. Joseph Jackson and printed by George Eyre and Andrew Strahan. While title pages were added later and dated 1816 printed on the last page of volume three is the printers' names and date1811 and volume four is dated 1816. The Domesday Book was commissioned in December 1085 by William the Conqueror who invaded England in 1066. The Domesday Book project was a major undertaking employing many transcribers of the manuscripts and type makers to design the special type used. It is one of the most ancient records of England and represents an amazing accomplishment. It is the Register from which judgment was to be given upon the value tenure and services of the land. Another point on which the Domesday Survey throws considerable light is the history of the ancient Castles which William erected everywhere. By the completion of this survey the King acquired an exact knowledge of the possessions of the crown. It afforded him names of the land holders and the means of ascertaining the military strength of the country. It also pointed out the possibility of increasing the revenue in some cases and of lessening the demands of the tax collectors in others. The Domesday Book also left exact records behind which give historians today much data about Norman English life and the first appearance of English names. At the end of the introduction to volume four pertaining to the "Bolden Book" is a section considered to be the most important work of the supplement; it is from the Laud MSS. 542. Contained herein is a manuscript note stating; "This account of the 'Bolden Book' was written by me; I also transcribed MS. Laud collated it with the others & prepared the whole for the press as it appeared in that volume. signed Adam Clarke. Adam Clarke was a noted commentator and theological writer who lived in London after 1805. He wrote English translations and new editions of other men's books a bibliographical dictionary in six volumes and many other very important works during his lifetime. He was also a member of the Society of Antiquaries of London. Our only reasoning for this note is the fact that while Clarke transcribed the Laud MS. his name was not acknowledged as the transcriber and does not appear within the text. Only those either of high office or directly involved in its publication had their names included. see DNB Vol iv p. 413 Provenance: Hudson Gurney of Keswick 1775-1864 his book with his signature on the front free endpaper of the first volume. <br/><br/> George Eyre and Andrew Strahan, Printers hardcover books
