Some page repairs. Disbound. Arthur Murphy (1727-1805), Irish actor and dramatist, first became an actor in 1754, playing many important roles. He then wrote and produced a series of farces (which were almost all adaptations from the French) that were very successful, securing for their author both fame and wealth. Murphy edited a political periodical, called the Test, in support of Henry Fox, by whose influence he was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn, although he had been refused at the Middle Temple in 1757 on account of his connection with the stage. Murphy also wrote a biography of Fielding, an essay on the life and genius of Samuel Johnson and translations of Sallust and Tacitus. FIRST EDITION. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W140

8vo., Best Edition, with a frontispiece and 15 plates, some moderate offsetting from fold-ins to free endpapers; red cloth, gilt back, a very good, bright, clean copy in dustwrapper, the latter lightly frayed and creased at edges. First published in 1937, 'Kent' is the most detailed single-volume encyclopaedia of London and an invaluable period guide to places, institutions and infrastructure. This substantially revised edition was produced to coincide with the Festival of Britain, albeit that the major South Bank site (frontispiece) was still under construction. It also includes coverage of wartime depredations. Later editions suffered from the usual economies of scale and production. A very nice copy and uncommon in this condition.
In 8°; VIII, 811, (1) pp. (asportate 4 carte di indice da pagina 800 a 811 ma il resto testo è completo) e due c. di tav. fuori testo. Bella legatura coeva in tutto cartoncino. Piatti foderati con carta azzurra coeva. Al dorso rinforzo più recente in cartoncino sul quale è però applicata l’originale fascetta con il titolo. Esemplare in barbe ed in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione a parte la mancanza delle 4 carte di indice. Prima non comune edizione di questo importante studio dedicato alla febbre gialla realizzato dal celebre fisico inglese Nathaniel Edward Bancroft. Nel 1795 nominato medico per le forze armate inglesi iniziò un lungo periodo di servizio all’estero che lo portò a far esperienze nelle Isole Windward , in Portogallo , nel Mediterraneo, al seguito della la Spedizione di Abercromby in Egitto nel 1801 durante il quale acquisì una grande conoscenza su vari tipi di epidemie di febbre gialla. Dopo un periodo di lavoro in Inghilterra, nel 1811 fu inviato in Jamaica dove rimase fino alla fine della sua vita. Il lavoro qui presentato, considerato è considerato come un pietra miliare delle conoscenze mediche della materia per le sue teorie rivoluzionarie. "There is no chance, nor even possibility, of thus generating anything so wonderful and so immutable as contagion, which, resembling animals and vegetables in the faculty of propagating itself, must, like them, have been the original work of our common Creator. ... As well might we revive the for-ever exploded doctrine of equivocal generation" (Essay, p. 109). Arrivò infatti ad intuire come le febbri gialle doveva essere individuate come una febbre di origine malarica. L’opera contiene due tavole con la planimetria dell’Old Baily la Corte della Corona, il Tribunale Penale Centrale di Londra, che giudica i principali casi criminali della Grande Londra e, in via eccezionale, di altre parti dell'Inghilterra. Esso sorge nel luogo nel quale si trovava la Prigione medievale di Newgate, in una strada denominata appunto Old Bailey, che segue il percorso delle mura fortificate della City (dette bailey) e che ha dato il nome alla corte. Un volume con altri scritti sulle febbri gialle di Bancroft uscì nel1817. Esemplare in prima edizione e, a parte la mancanza delle pagine di indice, in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione e ancora in barbe. Opera non comune. Rare.
