18792934Butler County Democrat Print; Hamilton Ohio; 1879. 1879 Second edition "revised and enlarged". Inscribed and signed on the front free endpaper by the author's grandson Dr. J. S. H. Potter dated Apr 17 1895. A rare Ohio/American medical imprint five OCLC library holdings for this second edition; none for the first edition. Full leather gilt spine lettering 8 3/4 x 6 inches 500 pp. index two small illustrations. Good plus or very good minus. Dr. Potter assisted the escape of a fugitive slave to Canada: "Perhaps the most notable incident in the extended and eventful life of Dr. POTTER was the rescue of a fugitive slave named Jerry in Syracuse New York about 1852. It occurred soon after the fugitive slave law was passed and on the occasion of holding a national anti-slavery convention at that place. Daniel WEBSTER had recently delivered a speech to an immense concourse there threatening that "when this convention thronged the city a noted fugitive would be arrested and taken back to slavery. The United States Government would teach the people that there was potency in law." Four United States marshals had been detailed from as many adjacent cities and the whole police force of Syracuse were ready. Jerry was arrested and placed in chains. About thirty thousand people were waiting to witness the scene. The man with blue eyes red cheeks and brown curly hair with no other semblance of a negro was taken away from the officers by the mob and finally placed by Dr. POTTER in the grounds of a residence inhabited by a stiff pro-slavery man where the most active search failed to find him. After the lapse of a week and search having been made from house to house when detection was imminent the doctor arranged with Jerry's host to drive in with a meat wagon got Jerry in and covered with blankets he drove before the door of the Syracuse House hitched went in with the doctor took cigars and drove out through the city about 4 P.M. in beautiful sunshine no one suspecting the presence of Jerry. After reaching Brewerton seventeen miles; Dr. POTTER took Jerry in his carriage sending the team back and conveyed the fugitive to Mexicoville and by the underground railroad to a small harbor on Lake Ontario whence he obtained a passage on a small sailing vessel to Canada. No more noted fugitive slave case ever occurred in the United States and in it the doctor was the principal agent of success." 3214027. Signed by Authors. 2nd Edition. Hardcover. Good.

1843ST20896London: William Pickering and John W. Parker and Son 1843-57. Second Edition of volumes I III V VI VIII XI XV XVII. Third Edition of volume II. FIRST EDITIONS of the other 13 volumes. 170 x 103 mm. 6 3/4 x 4 1/8". 22 volumes bound as 13. <br/> Pleasing contemporary calf by Leighton stamp-signed on verso of front flyleaf covers framed with a double blind rule raised bands spine compartments with a single gilt sun tool russet morocco labels lettered in gilt all edges sprinkled. First volume with one plate depicting the brain and one illustration in the text depicting the brains of different animals.<br /> Final volume with an ad for the complete series by John W. Parker. A few light scratches scuffs and spots to leather each volume with offset from ribbon page marker other trivial defects but a fine and attractive set--extraordinarily fresh and clean internally in bindings essentially without wear.<br/> <br/> Containing a rarely seen complete run of 22 separate works in 13 volumes this attractive set represents the joint efforts of a female Victorian polymath and major publisher William Pickering to introduce the general public to a very wide range of subjects partly to contribute to general popular education and partly to alert the public to the need for reform. Caroline Cornwallis 1786-1858 was a writer scholar and feminist activist whose life-long self-directed course of study led her to explore subjects as diverse as mineralogy theology Tuscan law and the Ancient Egyptian language. In 1842 the first work in the "Small Books on Great Subjects" series appeared authored anonymously by Cornwallis she is named only as "A Pariah" and the editorship of the series is credited to "A Few Well-Wishers to Knowledge". Along with initiating and editing the series Cornwallis composed all but four of the books herself the second and third numbers were written by John Barlow #15 by Wilhelm von Humboldt and #16 by David Power. The works cover philosophy psychology chemistry Greek philosophy Christian history and theology biology law grammar geology politics and more and proved to be a great success in Britain and America. Some of the volumes are histories of general interest "A Brief View of Greek Philosophy up to the Age of Pericles" and "Christian Sects in the Nineteenth Century"; others are of significant scientific content "The Connection Between Physiology and Intellectual Philosophy" and "On Man’s Power Over Himself to Prevent or Control Insanity; still others are strongly reformist in thrust "On the Principles of Criminal Law" decrying the harshness of punitive Victorian laws and "On the Philosophy of Ragged Schools" dealing with the pressing issue of educating London's poor. Initially "Small Books on Great Subjects" was published by William Pickering but upon his 1853 bankruptcy John W. Parker took over the series. Stray volumes of this series are readily available but complete sets especially in the condition seen here are much more difficult to find. William Pickering (and John W. Parker and Son) unknown
