Kompendium der Rezeptierkunst durch den "wohl bedeutendsten Verbreiter der Stahlschen Lehre" (SBPK). Johann Juncker (1680-1759), ein Anhänger des pietistisch geprägten "Animismus" Georg Stahls, wurde 1717 Arzt an Franckes Waisenhaus in Halle "und im folgenden Jahr zum Dr. med. promoviert. 1729 zum o.Prof. an der medizinischen Fakultät ernannt, entwickelte Juncker die Krankenanstalt der Stiftungen zum Modellinstitut für den damals noch unbekannten klinischen Unterricht der Studenten" (DBE). "Seine Lehrbücher, unter dem charakteristischen Titel 'Conspectus' herausgebracht und sämtlich 'methodo Stahliana' entworfen, erlangten in immer wiederholten Auflagen weite Verbreitung [... Sein] 'Conspectus chemiae' war das beste Chemie-Handbuch seiner Zeit (Ferchl)" (NDB). - Teils leicht (finger-)fleckig; mehrere zeitgenössische Marginalien und hs. Ergänzungen.

XII, 199, (5) SS. Marmorierter Halbleinenband der Zeit mit goldgepr. Rückentitel. Dreiseitiger Marmorschnitt. 4to. Erste deutsche Ausgabe, die erste überhaupt in einer westlichen Sprache. Es war diese Ausgabe, die dem Werk Pawlows (1849-1936) ihre weltweite Bedeutung verschaffte. Zugleich die früheste Edition dem Sammler zugängliche Ausgabe (die russische Auflage von 1897 gilt als praktisch unauffindbar). - "Speichelbildung ist eine geläufige Erfahrung; sie kann auch ohne den Anblick oder Geruch von Speisen erzeugt werden. Bei einem Menschen kann sich diese Reaktion zum Beispiel dann einstellen, wenn er hört, wie im Nebenraum der Tisch zum Essen gedeckt wird, und beim Hund ist dieselbe Erscheinung zu verzeichnen, wenn er beispielsweise das Klappern seines Freßgeschirrs hört. In einer Reihe von Vorlesungen, die Pawlow in Petersburg hielt und die im Jahr darauf veröffentlicht wurden, befaßte er sich eingehend mit der Erforschung dieser Vorgänge und lieferte damit einen bedeutenden Beitrag zu unserem Wissen über die Physiologie der Verdauung. Im Verlauf dieser Vorlesungen beschrieb er den künstlichen Magen für Hunde, mit dem es ihm gelang, zum ersten Mal Magensäfte ohne Nahrungszufuhr zu erzeugen [...] Pawlows Ergebnisse bilden eine Ergänzung zu denen Freuds, und viele schreiben ihnen eine wesentlichere Bedeutung zu. Wie bei Freud, so haben wir es auch hier mit dem Werk eines einzigen Mannes und mit einem völlig neuen Weg zu tun. Pawlow erhielt den Nobelpreis für Medizin im Jahre 1904" (Carter/Muir, S. 689f.). - "This first edition in German is the first translation of this classic work on the digestive glands, published in Russia the year before" (Heirs of Hippocrates). - Papier schwach gebräunt; Anstreichungen eines zeitgenöss.

8vo. (6), 360, (16) pp. Title-page printed in red and black. With engraved frontispiece. - (Bound with) II: Deventer, Hendrik van. Neues Hebammen-Licht, bey welchen die Hebammen-Kunst und was darzu gehöret durch geschickte Handgriffe aufrichtig gelehret wird. Jena, Heinrich Christoph Cröcker, 1717. (12), 489, (23) pp. Title-page printed in red and black. With engraved frontispiece and 33 (instead of 37) engraved plates. Contemporary vellum with handwritten spine title. Edges sprinkled red. I: Rare first independently published German edition (first printed in Paris in 1597 as "Opusculum physiologum & anatomicum"), translated by Christoph von Hellwig (1663-1721). "In 1595 Pineau demonstrated the vestigial foramen ovale in the adult heart, settling the question of the perviousness of the septum of the heart [...] [In 1597] he published this study in a frank treatise on virginity and the ways of losing it" (Garrison/M.). "The German edition was prohibited by the magistrates. The chief interest of the book now relates to the supposed parturition of the pubic bones during parturition [...] Pineau was a lithotomist and had the Collot family secret" (Osler). The work has previously been issued in German as part of Louise Bourgeois Boursier's "Hebammen Buch" (1626). - II: Second German edition of Deventer's magnum opus, "Operationes chirurgicae novum lumen exhibentes obstetricantibus" (first published in Leiden in 1701, also in Dutch), one of the most important works in the history of obstetrics. "Gives the first accurate description of the female pelvis and its deformities, and the effect of the latter in complicating labour" (Garrison/M.). Van Deventer (1651-1724) is the first to appreciate fully the importance of the osseous pelvis, the axis in particular, for parturition; the procedure he recommends to midwives is exemplary. The diagnosis of abnormal foetal positions and the obstetrical techniques show great refinement. While Deventer championed manual procedures and discouraged the use of instruments if they could at all be avoided, he is hailed as the inventor of the most important obstetrical instrument of all: the forceps. "Deventer is unquestionably the greatest and scientifically the best-educated obstetrician of his age. His research not only blazed new trails, but formed the basis on which modern obstetrics is built to this day" (cf. Hirsch). - Lacks plates no. 5, 10, 12, and 14; large defects to frontispiece and two additional engravings; several engravings trimmed closely near the edge. - From the collection of the Swedish Polar explorer and mineralogist Gösta Bodman (1875-1960), who participated in the Swedish Antarctic Expedition of 1901-04, with his pretty, topical bookplate (showing a penguin and a research ship) on the pastedown.

Small 8vo. 2 parts in 1 volume. (16), 96 pp. (Second part has separate title-page): Tractatus de signatura salium, metallorum, et planetarum [...]. Ibid., 1659. 44 pp. With a few woodcut symbols in the text. Contemporary full limp vellum with handwritten author's name to spine and handwritten title to lower edge. First Latin edition, published a year after the German original edition. One of Glauber's most important publications, this contains among other items an account of his discovery of sodium sulfate in 1625 (cf. Dünnhaupt). The German alchemist and chemist Glauber (1604-70) has been described as one of the first chemical engineers. He here displays an early understanding of chemical affinity; Berzelius (in his "Lehrbuch der Chemie") points out that Glauber was among the first to recognize how sulphuric acid replaces nitric and hydrochloric acid in compounds, while alkali replaces ammonia. It was in the process of this research that he "discovered the 'sal mirabile' that bears his name, 'Glauber's salt'" (cf. Schelenz, 481). - Light browning and occasional waterstaining, but a good, attractive copy. The engraved title mentioned by Brüning is not present in any traceable copy and is probably a ghost. - Provenance: handwritten ownership "de La Roche" to title-page; 20th century bookplates of the bibliographer Guy Bechtel (b. 1931, "Le bibliophobe Bechtel") and of René Alleau (1917-2013), friend of André Breton and director of the Bibliotheca hermetica collection at the French publishing house Denoël (loosely inserted before the flyleaf).

4to. 32 pp. With a woodcut title vignette, headpieces and initials. Papered spine. Edges sprinkled in red. First edition. - Very rare anatomical dissertation on female breasts, constituting one of the first monographs on the subject. F. W. Mencel (1697-1773) had not only studied medicine, but also mathematics and physics; he would later serve as physician in his native Magdeburg as well as draw maps and architectural elevations in Prussia before going on to teach medicine in Halle and Zerbst (cf. Jöcher/A.). - In his introduction, the author states that humans at various ages favour different foods, but only at the youngest age can they draw nutrition from the human body alone, "for which purpose the female sex has been given two peculiar organs, which rise as prominences from the chests of young women and have been referred to by anatomists under the name of 'mammae', 'breasts', providing nourishment, called 'milk', to the tenderest of beings. These organs (as such) have not been hitherto dealt with frequently," for which reason he has chosen them as the subject of his thesis. Mencel elaborates on the classical derivation of the term 'mamma' before giving a description of the mammary glands, their different appearance in males and females, and their locale on the body. The author notes that there are usually two such glands, one right, the other opposite, on the left. The reason for this, says Mencel, is both functional and aesthetic: "for one thing, it is prettier that way, and for another, if one of them is injured or cannot produce sufficient milk, the other will serve" (p. 9). He goes on to discuss the varying size, shape, colour, and tissue density of breasts, "not the same in all women, but subject to their age, temper, and region": they develop some time before the first menstrual cycle, then expand (supposedly being bigger among married women than virgins), and are at their largest among pregnant women shortly before childbirth, while they tend to sag among the elderly - and even more so among the women of India and Senegal, where they are reported to droop to the stomach. Even in Europe, however, there are areas (says Mencel) where girls are so well-endowed that their breasts resemble pillows, indeed not little hills but enormous mountains. Mencel points out how it has often been observed that women with large breasts are more libidinous and more exposed to venereal disease, a fact reflective of the adage that "every excess turns into vice" (p. 11), then adds anecdotes about unusually buxom women from Utrecht, Elsinore and other places. Proceeding into anatomy proper, Mencel discusses the veins, arteries and nerves throughout the mammary glands, the milk ducts, and the nipples. Another chapter discusses the movement of the breasts during breathing, their "rise and subsequent fall, alternatingly, as we can observe in girls every day". The reason, he adds, "is not hard to guess, for as the breasts are situated on the thorax, so inhaling causes them to expand, and exhaling to constrict themselves", noting the health risks (including lung constriction) involved in the custom of breast binding (p. 26). After a final discussion of the human milk and lactation, Mencel concludes that much could be added on the subject, in particular about the inflammation of the breast, growths, breast cancer, excessive lactation, breast defects, and similar conditions, but his dissertation purposely omits these, as so many medical men have already written about them that to include them in his thesis would be like once more reheating leftover cabbage, and similarly likely to induce nausea, for which reason he will leave it at that. - Indeed, although Mencel's work is not absolutely the first monograph on the subject, nearly all previous studies had focused on diseases, specifically breast infection or cancer. Moritz Hoffmann had in 1662 published a 32-page dissertation "De naturali ac praeter naturali mammarum constitutione" containing an account of the healthy breast, but the book's second half was entirely concerned with pathology, while Johann Arnold Friderici's more general anatomical disputation "De constitutione mammarum" (Jena 1669) comprised a mere 18 pages. Mencel's dissertation, so frequently couched in a disarmingly coy tone, is thus the most extensive early monograph wholly devoted to the healthy female breast. It was reprinted in Franz Joseph Oberkamp's 1767 collection of excellent Leiden dissertations. - Somewhat browned throughout due to paper; old ink number annotated to title.

Oblong format: 8" x 11" <br/><br/>This exceptional salesman sample photo album for the Nash Engineering Company in South Norwalk CT provides an excellent visual history of this pioneering producer of liquid ring vacuum pumps. Although their vital importance to the modern age remains mostly unrecognized the liquid ring pump revolutionized water heating electric power and sewage systems pulp and papaer production and proved absolutely vital in gas extraction and many other general industrial applications in the 20th century. These unsung workhorses are essential to modern physical plant systems. Nash 1852-1923 invented the liquid ring vacuum pump and was the holder of over 100 US patents for pumps engines water meters and other equipment. He founded the Nash Engineering Company in 1905 and by 1914 filed the US patent for the liquid ring vacuum pump which he had first employed in the reinforced concrete factory he built at Wilson Point Road shown here in the photos. The photos also show the testing department test plant vacuum pumps in the storehouse and the test room switch board. The photos lavishly illustrate many pumps with varying horsepower and applications such as those to maintain condenser vacuum on large steam turbine generators those used on paper machines to dewater paper pulp slurry and extract water from press felt fabrics as well as those that could be applied to molded pulp products. Of particular interest are the many photos of pumps installed for physical plant systems in such buildings as the Sherman Hotel Chicago IL; boiler room of the Ohio River Edison Company; Price Brothers COmpany Ltd. Quebec Canada; Chatsworth Apartments 72nd & Riverside NY; Cunard Building 25 Broadway NY and many others. Of interest are the photos of the Nash display at the Industrial Exposition Grand Central Palace NY in 1914 as well as the award granted to the Nash Engineering Company by the War Department during World War I for their material assistance in obtaining the victory of the allies.
