Bound in contemporary speckled brown calf spine gilt with raised bands. Includes the advertising leaf by the publisher and "A Key to the Third Volume of the ATLANTIS call'd Memoirs of Europe." Includes some contemporary annotations presumably by Anacker." The dedication is to Isaac Bickerstaff and contains caustic letters between Richard Steele and Mrs. Manley. Halkett and Laing Vol IV page 50. The Schlueters note in their Encyclopaedia of British Women Writers that this is Manley's most celebrated work . a kind of roman a clef that recounted political intrigue and sexual scandal . includes scenes of homosexual as well as heterosexual sex orgies drunkeness rape and incest which has given it a sensationalist reputation . The second volume for example opens with a piece on the New Cabal a group of wealthy lesbians . Her contribution lies in having forged an authentically feminist realism . and in having braved the negative currents that opposed women's entrance into the field of dramatic and fictional literature . She is one of the pioneers of women's literature in English but her work has yet to receive the serious critical attention it deserves. John Morphew unknown books

165929260Lyons: Antoine Cellier 1659. <p>First Description of Aortic Stenosis</p> <p>RIVIERE Lazare 1589-1655. Observationum medicarum & curationum insignium centurae tres. . . . Edited by Simeon Jacoz. 4to. 8 311 9pp. Lyons: Antoine Cellier 1659. 225 x 167 mm. Speckled sheep c. 1659 rubbed small wormhole in front cover. Some foxing browning & dampstaining old repair to one leaf. Very good copy. Old signature and notes on endpapers.</p> <p> First Edition. Riviere was the first to describe stenosis of the aortic valve from a case that he treated in 1646. GM 2727 cites Riviere's description of this condition in his Opera medica universa 1674 of which the present work is the first edition; the description appears here on p. 177 and is entitled "Cordis palpitatio & pulsus inaequalitas." Riviere also brought Paracelsian iatrochemistry into the curriculum of the University of Montpellier and it was under his auspices that Alexander Fraser introduced the Harviean theory of the circulation into the University's curriculum in 1636. An edition of the present work was published in The Hague in the same year as this Lyons edition. As Riviere was French it is reasonable to presume that the Lyons edition was first. Hirsch.
