1808LTH28-B-2London: William Miller 1808. Leather. Very Good. 10.5" by 9". None. An fascinating historical work by Charles James Fox charting the the beginning of James II's reign over Britain. First edition. Fox was engaged in writting this history for may years however he died before it was completed. It was published incomplete due to the reputation of the author. With an engraving of Fox by Evans to frontispiece after a drawing by Howard from the last bust by Nollekens in the possession of Lord Holland. Charles James Fox PC 1749 - 1806 styled The Honourable from 1762 was a prominent British Whig statesman whose parliamentary career spanned thirty-eight years and who was particularly noted for being the arch-rival of William Pitt the Younger. James II & VII 1633 - 1701 ruled England and Ireland as James II and Scotland as James VII from 1685. He was the last Roman Catholic monarch to reign over the Kingdoms of England Scotland and Ireland. Members of Britain's political and religious elite increasingly opposed him for being pro-French and pro-Catholic and for his designs on becoming an absolute monarch. When he produced a Catholic heir the tension exploded and leading nobles called on William III of Orange his son-in-law and nephew to land an invasion army from the Netherlands which he did. James fled England and thus was held to have abdicated in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. He was replaced by William of Orange who became King as William III ruling jointly with his wife James's daughter Mary II. Thus William and Mary both Protestants became joint rulers in 1689. James made one serious attempt to recover his crowns when he landed in Ireland in 1689 but after the defeat of the Jacobite forces by the Williamite forces at the Battle of the Boyne in the summer of 1690 James returned to France. He lived out the rest of his life as a pretender at a court sponsored by his cousin and ally King Louis XIV. Rebacked with original calf board preserved with minor repairs. Externally generally smart just with slight wear to extremities and marks to boards. Evidence of worming to joints and hinges only. With evidence of previous bookplate to front pastedown. Internally firmly bound. Pages are generally bright with slight scattered foxing and slight tidemarks to first few pages. Ink inscriptions to half title. Very Good William Miller hardcover

Morris Unna Leloir & Dürwald. - Hamburg & Leipzig Voss 1889-1893 Gr.-Folio 1 feine farb. lith Taf. mit 3 Abbildungen 7 Seiten Tafelerklärungen.; Text fleckig. First description! Thomas Colcott Fox "1849-1916 was the younger brother of William Tilbury Fox with whom he was closely associated in the early years. He too had been born at Broughton the eighth son of the surgeon Luther Owen Fox. From Queenswood he went to London's University College and thence with a scholarship to Peterhouse Cambridge where he rowed in the college first eight. He was a countryman at heart enjoying most country pursuits playing cricket for Hampshire and the Incogniti no mean feat for an oarsman he was also reputedly a good skater and a proficient golfer. At University College his brother was in charge of the Skin Department and "Tommy" benefited from fraternal guidance and teaching. He proved to be a model student a careful observer and later became an exceptional diagnostician. Like Crocker he wrote articles for Quain's Dictionary and for Allbutt's System of Medicine. The brothers co-operated on the third edition of the Epitome of Skin Disease which was published in 1876. His first appointment was to the Victoria Hospital for Children a post he relinquished on moving in 1883 to the Westminster Hospital where he was to stay for 30 years. He observed his cases with meticulous care and had an uncanny ability to identify a cryptic primary lesion. His abiding interest was in children and their diseases; this never wavered and it was to prompt his particular study of fungal infections of the skin and hair. He described granuloma annulare the "ringed eruption" along with Crocker and it was he simultaneously with Thibierge in France who incriminated tuberculosis as the cause oferythema induratum. Private practice had no attractions it was hospital work and mycology that he found absorbing. Though he wrote many fine papers he never embarked on his own textbook. He followed Radcliffe Crocker as President of the Section in the newly formed Royal Society of Medicine and he proved an admirable chairman; his profound knowledge of the literature and his own considerable experience brought him great respect."
