"Fox's classic treatise on the teeth is the first to include explicit directions for correcting dental irregularities. It is the first work on orthodontics"--Garrison-Morton 3679. "In the spring of 1799 Fox began a course of lectures on the teeth to students at Guy's and he continued as a lecturer there until his death. This was certainly the first series of lectures specifically on dentistry to be given in Britain and probably in the world. On them he based his two books The Natural History of the Human Teeth 1803 and The History and Treatment of the Diseases of the Teeth 1806 which were the first important dental works in English to have illustrations of operative dental procedures and of pathological dental conditions. Fox was also the first to give specific instructions for the correction of irregularities of the teeth. There were three English editions of his works two American editions and a French translation by Lemaire. These works were the first true textbooks on dentistry for students and practitioners and for the next fifty years they were the most quoted ones in the English-speaking world."

1923159253New York: The Macaulay Company 1923. Original American Edition. Hardcover. NF contents; VG covers; Good DJ with some fading to spine a bump to upper outer front corner and small tears to head/tail of spine. Moss green cloth/boards; black lettering. Moss green dj with black lettering including an excerpt from the dedication to H.G. Wells. All edges painted green. 308 pages with no illustrations. A scarce copy of the American English edition of Renard's early sci-fi novel originally published in France as Le Docteur Lerne. "The publication of Renard's first sf novel in 1908 Le Docteur Lerne Doctor Lerne gained him rave reviews and launched him into the limelight of Parisian literary circles. Although strongly derivative of Wells' The Island of Dr Moreau 1896-an influence openly acknowledged by Renard in his dedication-Le Docteur Lerne extrapolates the notion of biological engineering much further than Wells all the way into the fantastic. After years of experimentation in grafting animal parts to plants and vice-versa producing at times some quite amazing results Dr. Lerne begins interchanging brains between animals between humans and even between animals and humans. As a result of these experiments he ultimately learns how to project his own mind and spirit into other animate and not-so-animate objects like people trees and even an automobile. The narrative itself is recounted in the first person by Dr. Lerne's visiting nephew Nicolas: he gradually in detective-like fashion uncovers the truth of his uncle's experiments and his reactions to them range from morbid curiosity to outright horror. Part of the originality of the tale however is not in the sometimes outlandish plot sequences but in the manner in which they are told. The originality of this novel is two-fold: in its sf eroticism and in how it portrays the mind-body split through narrative point of view. One example: Nicolas is forced to have his brain exchanged with that of a bull. Following the surgery the young man must now struggle to acclimate himself to the alien: not only to his new bovine body and instincts but also to seeing his old self as the "other"-especially when the latter makes overtly sexual advances toward "his" mistress. Another example: later in the text after receiving his own brain back again the narrator is in the throes of a steamy sexual interlude with his aforementioned mistress when he suddenly feels the presence of another person's identity intruding into his mind and taking over his body: it is Dr. Lerne who gazing through a peephole nearby decides to become a more-than-first-hand observer to the proceedings. Such risqué subject matter and offbeat points of view in Le Docteur Lerne-continually oscillating as it does between the vicarious and voyeuristic-make it a quite original sf text and one that foreshadows other erotic science-fiction works by writers like Philip José Farmer Robert Silverberg and Kate Wilhelm published over a half century later. Of course if one were to judge Renard's Le Docteur Lerne from its only-available English translation New Bodies for Old one would never have the opportunity to read such passages. They are not there. In fact this translation seems to aptly exemplify the marketplace strategy known as "bait-and-switch." On its intentionally provocative dust jacket after the title "Maurice Renard's Startling Novel New Bodies for Old or The Strange Experiments of Dr. Lerne" the publisher chooses to quote the most enticingly suggestive portions of the author's dedication to Wells: "When Fortune.allowed me to discover the subject of this allegorical novel I felt bound not to set it aside because of a few audacities which a faithful rendering involved. Far from desiring to arouse.instinct in my reader and amuse him with scandalous descriptions my work is addressed to the philosopher." But when one then reads the actual narrative one discovers that all such "audacities" and "scandalous descriptions"-i.e. all passages of sexuality like those I have discussed-have been thoroughly and meticulously excised. Despite its cover's subtle promises of titillation the content of Renard's book has been truncated so as not to offend its anglophone audience's supposed sense of moral propriety." - by Arthur B.

WALTER-FILM001074No binding. Fine. Fine Art Print Vintage original 11 x 14"" 28 x 35 cm. title lobby card USA. Richard Widmark Linda Darnell Stephen McNally Sidney Poitier dir: Joseph L. Mankiewicz; Twentieth Century Fox. Brilliant Academy Award-nominated screenplay by director Mankiewicz which dealt with racism and bigotry. The film was shocking and controversial when released for its subject matter and perhaps more so today but for the reasons of its political incorrectness. It is an important document of where Americans were in 1950 and how far things have come in the years since. This is one of the most dynamic pieces of poster art ever created. The campaign was known to feature some of the very earliest of Saul Bass' art. The lay out for this piece of art is attributed to Paul Rand with Saul Bass perhaps involved in the title treatment. Card features Aug. 12 1950 stamp on verso is like new pristine and never used FINE. unknown books
