1881MMRM1650New York:: Trow's Printing and Bookbinding 1881. 1881. Small 8vo. 35 1 pp. Disbound; creased. Text quite clean. Good. Jacobi was a giant of American pediatrics and he remains the only foreign-born President of the American Medical Association. His view of pediatrics included the social and cultural aspects of caring for children. It is in this light that he addresses Rudolf Virchow. Virchow's seminal work in cellular theory and biology often overshadows Virchow's view that medicine was more than science. A memorable Virchow aphorism is "Medicine is a social science and politics are nothing but medicine on a grand scale." Social and political reforms based on medical knowledge were critical to the public's health. Jacobi adopts this perspective in his laudatory discussion of Virchow. source: Formative Years Children's Health in the United States 1880-2000. Stern & Markel editors.

1865WRCAM56487Providence: Salisbury Bro. & Co. 1865. Illustrated broadside 12 1/2 x 8 inches. Old folds. Remnants of a label on verso a few small chips to edges uneven tanning light foxing. Very good. Rare broadside advertising gold jewelry and "Patent Embossed Carte de Visites.of all noted personages." from Salisbury Bro. & Co. of Providence Rhode Island. The text describes a large stock of photographs offered at wholesale prices to retailers across the country. The broadside has a vignette of the Salisbury factory in the top quarter of the sheet with a dense cascade of text in a variety of different fonts below. The lower third of the sheet is devoted to descriptions of images of Lincoln and the Civil War advertising three different Lincoln images and the promise "Our Picture of Lincoln is the best ever taken. All others as good as ever sold by any one." They also offer images of other prominent Civil War personages as well as "Booth the Assassin Robert E. Lee Jeff Davis and other prominent Rebels all at the same price. Also we have the ASSASSIN'S VISION and the ASSASSIN'S DOOM on full Cards." <br> <br> This broadside is primarily directed towards retailers as opposed to private customers and provides costs for bulk orders of up to 1000 cartes de visite. They claim their prices are "500 per cent. less than any dealers ever have." with prices starting at $7 for 100 and up to $100 for 1000 depending on the image. Although Salisbury Bros. & Co.'s cartes de visite and other photographic products are easily accessible in many libraries we could find no record of this broadside. An interesting record of the mass-marketing of photographic images in the post-Civil War era. Salisbury, Bro. & Co. unknown books

Isaac Aboab was an early 14th century Spanish Talmudic scholar and Kabbalist. "The Menorah of Light" is a collection of midrashic sermons. Per the Jewish Encyclopedia: "It has won considerable fame for the author though in his humility he assures his readers that he composed it chiefly for his own use as a public speaker. But besides this it has contributed probably more than any other medieval book to the popularization of rabbinical lore and to the religious edification and elevation of the masses. It belongs to that class of ethical works which sprang up in the thirteenth century in a time of reaction against the one-sided manner in which the Talmudic studies had been previously pursued.'. It was published with a Spanish translation Leghorn 1657 with a Hebrew commentary and a Judæo-German translation by Moses Frankfurter Amsterdam 1701 with a modern German translation by Fürstenthal and Behrend Krotoschin 1844-46. It was translated also into Yiddish Wilna 1880.";. 1331695. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. Defus Sh. Y. Fin, A. Ts. Rosenḳrants, M.M. Shrifá¹zeá¹tser hardcover books

1929127469New York: Grosset & Dunlap 1929. Octavo cloth. Photoplay edition. Photoplay edition with eight stills from the 1929 film. "7 FOOTPRINTS TO SATAN was released as both a silent film and as a sound film with Vitaphone musical score sound effects and some dialogue sequences. The film received generally negative reviews including from such publications as THE NEW YORK TIMES VARIETY -- which called it 'An utterly moronic sound film . all hokum' -- and the PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER in which Mildred Martin wrote 'after all the screams and creaks and thumps it reaches a somewhat tame conclusion .' Despite this it performed well at the box office. A companion Photoplay edition of the Merritt novel published by Grosset & Dunlap and featuring several stills from the film also sold extremely well. The sound version of the film is presumed lost . and the Vitaphone soundtrack for recording is also lost." - Wikipedia. A 2014 restored copy of the silent version is available on YouTube. A very good copy in an about very good pictorial dust jacket with mild wear to edges and 2-inch long chip at lower edge of rear panel near the spine fold. #127469 Grosset & Dunlap unknown books
