16. [Ephemera] Thomas, Isaiah, Jr. Isaiah Thomas, Junior’s Town & Country Almanack, or Complete Farmer’s Calendar, for the Year of Our Lord 1812: Being Bissextile or Leap Year, and the 36th of Columbian Independence. From Creation according to the Scriptures, 5774. Fitted to the Latitude and Longitude of the Town of Boston, but Will Serve without Essential Variation for the Adjacent States. Containing, Besides the More Than Usual Astronomical Calculations, a Larger Quantity, and Greater Variety, Than Are to Be Found in Any Other Almanack, of Matters Curious, Useful and Entertaining. [Almanac] Worchester: Isaiah Thomas, Jun., 1812. 44 pp. Self wrappers, sewn binding. Includes: $125 anatomical chart, list of zodiac signs, list of courts of sessions for Massachusetts, list of eclipses for 1812, names and characters of planets, vulgar notes, lawyers’ and justices’ calendar, solar and lunar calculations for each month, a list of counterfeit bills in circulation, a U.S. based on figures taken in 1810, a list of probate courts, farming tips including how to make manure, how to raise spring grain, a substitute for hay, a method of raising calves without milk, and notes on the cultures of flax and tobacco, a notice of the yearly and quarterly meetings of friends (likely referring to the Quakers), postage rates, table of the value of the several pieces of silver coin in federal currency, a notice of the establishment of the new medical school in Boston (the first of its kind, established by the Massachusetts Medical Society with the help of Benjamin Franklin), a table of income from one cent to twenty dollars a day, a table of wages from one to twenty dollars a month, a table of simple interest at 6 per cent per annum for any sum from one half dollar to 20,000 dollars, a table of the value and weight of coins in the respective states with their federal value, a table of the American standard of gold, a collection of seven ‘amusements’ (jokes), and predictions for 1812. It is interesting to note that in the predictions, the author gives a grim forecast unless ‘business revives, money becomes more plenty and a certain class of great folks, leave off shaving (?) notes - none of which can be expected, during the reign of our present French rulers.’ The War of 1812 began in June of 1812, and this appears to be a political comment about the impending conflict (see below for a possible explanation of this).

The New England Almanac was originally published by Thomas’s father, who also founded the American Antiquarian Society. ‘Isaiah Thomas, Jr., was one of the incorporators of the American Antiquarian Society in 1812. He also served as the Society’s Treasurer from 1813 until his death in 1819... Thomas was taught the business of printing by his father and started his career as a bookseller in 1792 at the age of nineteen... In 1799 he became the co-publisher of the Massachusetts Spy, sharing the masthead with his father until 1801, when he was made the sole publisher and editor. Thomas bought out his father’s large printing, papermaking and publishing business in 1802 when Isaiah Thomas, Sr., retired. In 1810, the younger Thomas moved to Boston, and continued to issue the Spy and the family’s almanac, as well as to print books such as Bernhard Faust’s A New Guide to Health (1810) and Charles Robbins’s The Drum and Fife Instructor (1812). Thomas’s business interests were adversely effected by the War of 1812. He sold the Spy in that year and tried to expand his bookselling business by opening shops in Connecticut, Maine, and Maryland. He continued to issue an interesting variety of almanacs and books until 1819.’ - American Antiquarian Society. Good. Edges rubbed with minor loss, mild transfer. 17. [Fine Art] Schaefer, Rudolph J.; German, Andrew W.; Schaefer, Janet U. J.E. [James Edward] Buttersworth: 19th-Century Marine Painter Mystic Seaport, 2009. Revised edition of a work originally published in 1975. Paintings previously printed in black and white are now reproduced in full color. Still considered the most detailed collection of the work of Buttersworth, one of the most well-known and prolific maritime painters of the nineteenth century, with more than 200 color plates. The son of a $115 British marine painter, James E. Buttersworth (1817-1894) was among the most prolific maritime artists of the nineteenth century. After developing his craft in England, he emigrated to the U.S. and for more than 40 years, documented the yachts and commercial vessels that frequented the waters around New York City. Like his contemporaries, the Luminist and Hudson River School artists, Buttersworth excelled in dramatic depictions of sea and sky, elevating his precisely detailed renderings of ships beyond document to art. Fine.

An account of Mackenzie’s treatment of Emperor Frederick of Germany’s illness. Garrison-Morton 3287, in reference to another of Mackenzie’s works, explains what Emperor Frederick’s illness was: ‘Mackenzie’s great reputation earned him the title of Father of British Laryngology. In 1863 he founded the Golden Square $30 Throat Hospital, London, the first hospital in the world devoted solely to diseases of the throat; he was also the founder of the Journal of Laryngology. He was called to attend Crown Prince Frederick, afterwards Emperor Frederick III of Germany, who suffered from, and succumbed to, a cancer of the larynx. Mackenzie was much maligned by a section of the German medical profession for refusing to agree to operation until biopsy had been performed. Three specimens proved negative and operation was delayed until too late. Mackenzie’s health was affected by his arduous duties on behalf of the Emperor and he died in 1892.’ Very good.

A guide to good health through sensible diet. Includes endorsements by Harriet Beecher Stowe and others following text. Hoolihan 301: “Bellows’ ‘philosophy of eating’ might be summarized in the statement that ‘one set of principles in food enables us to use the muscles... another enables us to keep up the animal heat, and another promotes the action of the brain and nerves’ (p. 11). How not to be sick, however, is less an attempt $50 to provide a practical regimen for the application of these nutritional principles than a diffuse collection of his thoughts on diet, hygiene, medical ethics and domestic practice.

Although unsuccessful as a businessman (cloth manufacturing), $95 King served in the Rhode Island General Assembly and was an outspoken advocate of the suffrage and abolition movements. In 1852 he was awarded an honorary M.D. by the Berkshire Medical Institution. Quackery Unmasked... while in the main an indictment of homeopathy, was also an eloquent plea for higher standards of medical education. Although King devotes half the book to homeopathy, Quackery Unmasked addresses the gamut of alternative therapies available to Americans at mid-century, i.e., hydropathy, Thomsonism, Indian medicine, eclecticism, chrono-thermalism and natural bone-setters. He attributes the proliferation of these schools to newspaper advertising (‘the American press is under no legal or moral restraint, and is ever ready for money, to aid impostors in deceiving and defrauding the public,’ p. 251), ‘female $95 influence’ (‘the husband rarely meddles with medical matters in his own family,’ p. 263), discord within the medical profession, and clerical influence (‘instead of leading men to the fountain of living waters... they direct them to the wet sheet or shower bath of Priessnitz,’ p. 275).” Good.
