19163202London: The Scientific Press 1916. First edition. Very Good . Scarce first edition of a Red Cross manual designed both for emergency workers and women in the home. Original publisher's cloth binding titled in red on spine and front board. Boards a bit rubbed and soiled corners bumped. Faint offsetting to the endpapers. Inscribed by Edith Newsome on the front pastedown: "With the Author's Compliments Edith Newsome. 16.10.23." A scarce book institutionally and in trade OCLC reports only 11 copies in libraries this being the only one currently on the market. <br/><br/>Edith Newsome's first major work on nursing produced after she realized that her Red Cross lecture series could not provide complete enough information to train "those who have so nobly responded to the 'call of duty'; to do all that is in their power to tend and succour the brave men of our nation by proving themselves valuable and intelligent helpers." Indeed Newsome's work was released two years into World War I -- the first modern war which brought with it a horrifying number of previously unknown injuries and ailments. In addition to professional nurses women enrolled to assist as Volunteer Aid Detachments VADs because there simply were not enough women with medical educations to serve the nation's need. The present work is a stirring acknowledgement of this. Comprehensive in training VADs and new nurses in field operations it also contains information for women in the home who confronted infection illness or injury and served as domestic caretakers for men returning from the front.

1598D6965Venice: apud haeredes Melchioris Sessae 1598. First Venice Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Folio 310 x 210mm. 2175pp. 1 301pp. 2 12pp. 175pp. 1. Contemporary dark brown goatskin title and preliminaries lacking and supplied in early manuscript with illustrated printers device some browning and staining least severe after page 9. 17th-century inscriptions on rear endpaper for Index Capitum a medical students description of the various parts. Pictorial wood-engraved ex-libris by Leo Wyatt for Lord Norwich on front endpaper. <br/><br/>First Venice Edition of Capivaccios philosophical practica in Galenic teachings a pillar for medical students of the Renaissance. First edition printed in Frankfurt in 1594 under the title Practica Medicina. Capivaccios lectures were posthumously edited by Johann Hartmann Beyer. This is the first Venice edition of these lectures on the healing sciences by one of the leading Italian medical practitioners of his time is edited by Giovanni Bernardo Sessa. Capivaccio died at Padua in 1589 where he had taught at the university for 27 years. He was a specialist in venereal diseases for which he had developed certain successful cures guarding his secrets jealously from colleagues. Capivaccio applied a philosophical approach to his practica so much so that it is doubtful if it was ever much used as a vade mecum. By writing at such great lengths it is clear Capivaccio wished to educate students rather than give them a handbook. Apart from the wish to restore Galenic teachings and to educate students one motive for Capivaccios practica may have been to bolster the claims of university doctors over the central providers of medical expertise in the Renaissance namely priests wise-women magicians herbalists and travelling empirics. This work important to the reform of the practice of medicine and to the wider concept of dogmatism or rationalism in medicine the Renaissance physician could use Capivaccios work to locate the causes of diseases as well as its signs.
