226pp VG/none Second edition, published in the same year of the first. Original editorial red hardback, gilt lettering on spine, minimal wear on the cover, overall a very good copy. Important book on the subject, scarce in the early editions, with the Introductory Chapter by Dr Rudolf Diesel, profusely illustrated by diagrams, charts and b/w pictures, some in folding plates. Presumably the first book in English devoted to the subject: according to the author, in the Preface, "no book has been published dealing solely with this type of motor".

"Gibson's Surveying was a dominant American text for a half century, and the standard against which others were compared. It appeared on the American scene when there was a need for what it offered, particularly in regard to calculating land areas from metes and bounds surveys. Despite several additions and changes by American editors, it never included descriptions or instructions on newer instruments such as the vernier compass, solar compass, or surveyors transit. Its heyday came and went, and it nobly served the needs of many pioneer American surveyors. Today it continues to serve professional surveyors by providing insight into alternative measuring methods used in early surveys." **PRICE JUST REDUCED! SCIENCE BOX 1

8vo. XVI, 111 pp., final blank page. Contemporary marbled boards. Second edition. - Scarce pharmaceutical compendium for military hospitals. This pharmacopeia encourages physicians to harmonise prescriptions to make treatments more efficient and reliable and promotes the use of domestic remedies.

In addition, it includes a table of weights and measures, as well as observations on the importance of clean air in hospital rooms, a proposition of pharmacy subdivisions equipped with first-aid medication following the ambulances, and a model patient form to be filled out by a physician on his ward rounds. - Pencil note on the title-page marking the copy as a duplicate. Extremities slightly rubbed; small flaws to marbled paper along spine. Interior somewhat brownstained throughout. OCLC 17407037.
