Also published 'On asphyxia and on the resuscitation of still-born children' London Medical Gazette vol. 29 5 November 1841: pp. 222-27. / Between 1839 and 1841 Snow experimented with a guinea pig suffocating the creature and then beginning a dissection. He found that an hour after death that he perceived a 'slight vermicular motion in the right auricle. He opened the trachea and began artificial respiration. The heart's ventricles began to move and through the coast of the left atrium the chamber that receives blood from the lungs he could see oxygen-rich bright red blood. The heart continued to contract weakly unable to expel blood from its chambers but it kept beating rhythmically for forty-five minutes . . . This particular experiment took place in the course of his investigations into respiration and asphyxia undertaken with the desire to establish the physiological basis for pulmonary resuscitation on infants.' Snow was witnessing one in twenty births being stillborn many of whom were asphyxiated. Many methods of resuscitating were tried including electrical shock mouth-to-mouth resuscitation etc. 'snow surmised that the line between life and death was not fixed and the heart retained its irritability its ability to be stimulated by oxygen beyond death.' With this study done Snow's recommendation was to use his 'artificial respirator on still-born infants.' p. 1-3. This whole effort was to reinforce Snow's experimental method to study a medical problem. Because of this experience he was encouraged to continue his research practices. The announcement created a varied debate wherein many opinions and experiences were expressed. This led if indirectly to his use in 1848 to apply chloroform to a patient with a difficult birthing history. p. 4. - Vinten-Johansen et.al. / 'Shepard considers this paper particularly significant for Snow's later anesthesia research.'

18153205London c1815. 130 by 97mm. 5 by 3.75 inches. Engraved caricature map mounted on card original full wash colour. This humorous map is part of the series of cartographic caricatures - including England and Wales as here Scotland and Ireland - which Robert Deighton first produced in the late eighteenth century. England and Wales are depicted as John Bull with full tankard of beer in hand and riding a monstrous fish. The map like much of Dighton's caricatures would be published as a print by Carrington Bowles fl.1752-1793. Carington Bowles worked initially with his father John Bowles before leaving to take over his uncle Thomas Bowles II's business circa 1762. Carington Bowles was one of the most active mapsellers and publishers of his day in London. His business was continued by his some Henry Carington Bowles who in partnership with Samuel Carver continued to publish maps and prints well into the nineteenth century. unknown
185267084Liverpool: F.D. Richards 1852. Pamphlet. Very Good. 24pp. Octavo 22 cm; unsewn pamphlet. 'Dr. Richards' written in contemporary ink at the upper right corner on the cover. Minor smudging and bumping along the margins and edges a couple of small pinholes at left margin and some light staining and foxing throughout; still in very good condition. This is the first state of this work with the word "are" printed as the first word in the last paragraph of page iv. We located eight institutional holdings at the time of cataloguing. Uncommon. According to Crawley "the pamphlet opens with an exchange of correspondence between Willard Richards and Zerubbabel Snow an associate justice of Utah Territory with Snow's opinion that Brigham Young proceeded properly in taking the census and organizing the territorial legislature prior to the arrival of the territorial appointees - all reprinted from the Deseret News of November 29 1851. Next are the plea of George A. Smith in defense of Howard Egan at Egan's trial before Snow for the murder of James Monroe and Snow's charge to the jury. These are followed by the text of the act of organizing Utah Territory and the names of the territorial officers appointed by Millard Fillmore September 28 1850.<br /> <br /> The preface signed by Franklin D. Richards and dated March 12 1852 opens with the declaration: "The following compilation may be considered a complete refutation of the charges contained in the Report of the returned Judges for Utah against His Excellency Governor Brigham Young and the citizens of that Territory" - a reference to the tract 'Polygamy Revived in the West' which Lowe had used in his lecture. And in the next-to-last paragraph: "The Organic Act is also introduced that all who wish may know the foundation upon which the organization and government of the Territory of Utah rests.'"

Snow's first real paper on ether anesthesia containing the first illustration of his regulating ether inhaler the earliest such device to control the amount of ether vapor received by the patient. Snow's paper published on 19 March 1847 appeared prior to his separately published pamphlet On the Inhalation of the Vapour of Ether in Surgical Operations October 1847; it was preceded only by three small tables on ether saturation of air that Snow published in the Medical Times London Medical Gazette and The Pharmaceutical Journal in January and February 1847. </p> <p>When ether anesthesia was introduced to England in late 1846 Snow immediately began experimenting with the process; he eventually became the first physician to limit his practice to anesthesiology. As the earliest specialist in clinical anesthesiology Snow was also the first to perform experiments on the physiology of the anesthetized state the results of which laid the foundations for the development of anesthesiology as a science. In the present paper Snow included an updated version of his table of the proportion of ether to air at temperatures ranging from 38 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Garrison-Morton.com 12954.

In 1842 she was secretly married to Joseph Smith under the "new dispensation" of plural marriage and in 1849 married his successor Brigham Young. She "served the very important function of putting Mormon history into verse. thus helping to build the folk beliefs so important in fostering group solidarity." DAB Her younger brother Lorenzo Snow 1814-1901 was an active convert and ardent missionary and became one of the dominant leaders of the Church. While this trip took them through Europe the most interesting aspects are the letters written describing the Holy Land the inhabitants holy places customsceremonies etc. as well as their impressions of Egypt Turkey Syria and other places of interest in this part of the world.

1882List3658Boston Massachusetts: W. A. Evans & Bro 1882. Folio illustrated wraps. Pages detached from each other small chip to corner images and music fine remains good to very good and quite attractive. Good to very good. A visually striking example of Oscar Wilde–related ephemera issued during the height of the writer’s American lecture tour of 1882. Though lacking a printed date the title strongly suggests publication in connection with Wilde’s appearance at the Boston Music Hall on January 31 1882 where he delivered his lecture “The English Renaissance†as part of his widely publicized tour across the United States. Contemporary accounts describe the event as a notable cultural moment including the presence of Harvard students dressed in exaggerated aesthetic costume who occupied the front rows of the hall reflecting both the fascination with and satirical reception of Wilde’s aesthetic persona.1<br /> <br /> The lithographic cover prominently depicts a figure carrying an oversized sunflower an image closely associated with Wilde and the broader Aesthetic Movement. Such illustrated sheet music functioned not only as musical publications but also as collectible artifacts capitalizing on the figure of Wilde. Over the course of several months he traveled widely across the United States and Canada delivering lectures on art decoration and cultural taste and quickly became a subject of both admiration and parody in the American press. Although he never returned for a comparable national tour Wilde maintained a lasting connection to American audiences. We know of a variant edition of the Evans imprint with a different illustration as well as a different version published in Boston by Ditson the same year. <br /> <br /> OCLC 500491189 specifying this edition with the large sunflower illustration locating five copies. <br /> <br /> 1 “Freshmen at Oscar Wilde’s Lecture†The Harvard Crimson February 1 1882.
