1828M13950London:: Printed for Horatio Phillips 1828. 1828. 8vo. viii 105 3 pp. 1 hand-colored plate; pp. 101-4 upper corner oddly worn but confined to the outermost part of the sheet not touching any text. Early turquoise blue wrappers small printed label applied to upper cover; extremities worn rubbed. Very good. RARE. First edition of the first serious English study of ergot of rye which was a folk remedy known to be effective for pregnant mothers to ease the birth and "control postpartum haemorrhage." Neale studied medicine at Edinburgh earning his degree in 1802. "In 1806 he was appointed as a physician to the army and saw considerable service during the Peninsula War under Sir John Moore and Sir Arthur Wellesley. In 1809 he published an account of his experiences in Letters from Portugal and Spain. In 1814 he settled in Exeter where he remained for the next 10 years apart from a tour of Germany Poland Moldavia and Turkey in 1818 and a short sojourn in Cheltenham in 1820 made brief by the fact that he rashly and publicly questioned the medicinal value of the spa waters of that town. In 1828 he published a monograph on the use of ergot of rye as a remedy in certain states of the uterus.' Four years later he died in Dunkirk in 1832." Dunn. / "Epidemics of St Anthony's fire due to ergot of rye had been recognised since the middle ages but the effect of ergot on the uterus was not recognised by the medical profession until 1688 when Camerarius mentioned that women in certain parts of Germany were in the habit of employing this sort of diseased grain to accelerate parturition. One hundred years passed before Tessier in France once more drew the attention of doctors to a similar practice among the midwives around Lyon. From then on medical interest in the subject increased and 50 years later Neale was able to review 720 reported cases in which ergot had been used in Europe and North America mostly with success either to expedite delivery of the baby or placenta or to control postpartum haemorrhage." Dunn. / In July 1805 Adam Neale c.1780-1832 travelled to Turkey to take a position as physician to the British embassy in Constantinople were he arrived in March 1806. This is a description of the overland journey to Jassy in Moldavia the Danube and then via the Black Sea several plates depict villages along the Black Sea to Constantinople. His observations on Turkey include descriptions of the manners and customs of the people the navy fishery and the plague which broke out regularly in Constantinople. This is one of the most vivid and readable of all accounts of Constantinople. He also discourses on some of the renegades present in Constantinople at the beginning of the 19th century Koç Collection 208. SEE: Peter M. Dunn "Adam Neale c1780-1832 and ergot of rye."

16881669671688. PERELLE Gabriel Adam and Nicholas. Recueil de Veues des Plus Beaux Lieux de France. Comprised of seven parts in one volume each part with individual title. Illustrated with a total 281 etched and/or engraved plates on 253 leaves comprising 267 views and 14 plans and/or maps 3 being large folding. Oblong folio 295 x 382 mm bound in contemporary French mottled calf with intricate gilt-stamped floral ornaments in spine compartments red leather title label. Paris: Chez Nicolas Langlois ca. 1688. Early impressions of the finest most complete series of etched views to document French gardens and châteaux. A comparable or more authentic portrayal of seventeenth-century French architecture and garden design does not exist. Of the total 267 etched and/or engraved views over 150 concentrate specifically on seventeenth-century French landscapes and garden designs. These views represent the gardens in their original splendour the landscape populated with elegant figures in contemporary costume. Regrettably several of the private châteaux and most of the accompanying gardens no longer exist. The contents of the volume begins with etched views of Parisian edifices city portals fountains gardens and monumental buildings such as the Louvre Palais Royal Palais du Luxembourg L'Hotel de Ville etc. Then a number of the surrounding châteaux and their estates are pictured including Versailles which we see literally rise before our eyes as the plates were executed over a period of several years while the palace and gardens were under construction Vincennes Chantilly St. Cloud and Fontainebleau plus sixteen views of Rome and its environs including the gardens of Pamphili and Tivoli. Most importantly this set is comprised of early Nicolas Langlois 1640-1703 impressions of these grand plates. Gabriel Perelle 1595-1677 studied drawing with Daniel Rabel official artist of the court of Henry III and then Perelle entered the atelier of the French painter Simon Vouet. Perelle had two sons Nicolas Perelle born 1631 and Adam Perelle 1640-1695. The engraved work by the three Perelles is so similar in style that their work is often signed: "Fait par Perelle" as it frequently is in the present album. The majority of impressions are sharp and dark. A few tears repaired a three inch crack to bupper hinge however still strong and perfectly intact. Overall an exceptional copy. Fowler 245.
