3 vols., 8vo., First Edition, with numerous plates, neat contemporary inscription on front free endpaper of second volume; cloth, gilt backs, all very good, clean copies in the dustwrapper. The trilogy comprises 'The Ballad and the Plough. A Portrait of the Life of the Old Scottish Farmtouns' (1978), 'Willie Gavin, Crofter Man. Portrait of a Vanished Lifestyle' (1980) and 'The Cornkister Days. Portrait of a Land and its Rituals' (1984). David Kerr Cameron's masterly study of the old Scottish rural way of life is carefully structured. In the first volume he tells of the larger farms or 'farmtouns'; in the second he examines the more numerous smallholdings or crofts. In his final volume he broadens the focus to include the life of the fields, the seasons and rituals, and the culture of the agrarian background in general. In its scope, its detail and its rigorous objectivity the trilogy is unique. A handsome set of an important contribution to the agricultural history of Scotland.

In 8° (21,5x13,2 cm); 61, (3) pp. Senza brossura ma non slegato. Esemplare in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione. Rarissima edizione, nessun esemplare censito in ICCU (cita solo due edizioni con data, stampatore e luogo di stampa palesati), di questo importante studio sulla teoria browniana del vitalismo del grande medico cesenate, Maurizio Bufalini che fu uno dei più importanti clinici italiani del XIX secolo oltre a senatore del Regno d’Italia. L’opera ripercorre la storia del vitalismo italiano e francese fino al 1828. Nato a Cesena nel 1787, Bufalini visse a lungo a Forlì fino a diventare Consigliere della Magistratura Municipale ed ad ottenere un titolo nobiliare. Dopo aver studiato medicina a Bologna, nel 1819 a Pavia, pubblicò un saggio, Fondamenti della patologia analitica, dove sostenne la necessità che alla base della scienza medica fosse posto l'esame dei fatti, invece della pragmatica allora dominante, che gli diede grande fama. Bufalini ebbe il merito di dare vita ad una scuola medica che lasciò un ampio retaggio, sia negli istituti universitari sia nelle condotte mediche. Nei suoi scritti giovanili elaborò un metodo di esame dei fatti che si articolava in quattro indicazioni di lavoro: la classificazione delle malattie, l'analisi dei sintomi, l'indagine delle cause e l'effetto terapeutico dei farmaci. Elaborò anche apprezzabili indirizzi in campo pedagogico-sociale (Della Benevolenza e dell'emulazione e della religione considerate come principii della morale educazione dei fanciulli, 1840; Sull'influenza educatrice della popolare istruzione, 1850). Vedeva con favore gli asili infantili, come luogo per promuovere l'educazione in comune, conciliando l'emulazione e la competizione con la solidarietà umana. Scrisse anche un celebre trattato sul rapporto tra libertà e scienza (Intorno alle cagioni del perfezionamento civile dei popoli, 1837), nel quale sosteneva che la libertà di stampa e di associazione non dovevano essere limitate, opera poco apprezzata dal potere dominante ma che ebbe grande diffusione e successo nel mondo intellettuale italiano risorgimentale. Scrisse anche interessanti ed importanti opere sulle nevrosi ed uno studio apprezzato sul tremore degli arti degli alcolizzati.

Veit, dated 5/14/1899, showing a military cadet with rifle in profile, and the head of a young lady with hat. Arthur Stobo Veit (1884-1912), son of a manager of the Standard Oil Company, attended Montclair Military College, Pennsylvania Military Academy, and the Hill School before going to Columbia as part of the Class of 1907. These drawings were probably done while he was at the PA Military Academy. He left Columbia in 1905 to join the Standard Oil Company. In 1912 he committed suicide on a New York street, the cause of his distrees was a great mystery at the time - and remains so today. POETRY BOX 4
