A Selection of Books to Be Exhibited at the Aba Rare A SELECTION OF BOOKS TO BE EXHIBITED AT THE ABA RARE BOOK FAIR LONDON BATTERSEA PARK, MAY 24-26 2018, STAND J03 (+44) 01929 556 656 | [email protected] | www.antiquates.co.uk ANTIQUATES – FINE & RARE BOOKS 1) A LADY. A short treatise on the passions, illustrative of the human mind. Londonq. Printed for B. Crosby and Co....By J. G. Barnard, 1810. First edition. 12mo. In two volumes. xlvii, 225, [3]; [4], 236pp. With half-titles, and a terminal advertisement leaf to Vol. I. Uncut in original publisher's drab paper boards, printed paper lettering-pieces. Extremities a trifle rubbed, chipping to lettering-pieces. Paste- downs of Vol. II sprung, very occasional small holes to margins. An unsophisticated copy, in the original boards, of this uncommon, wide-ranging and highly opinionated survey of mankind, our passions and character traits, apparently by an anonymous female author. Topics discussed include 'Education' (where study of the Bible is described as 'a flagrant mistake', and the work of Hannah More rejected), 'The Difference of Character between Man and Woman', 'Haughtiness', 'Apathy', 'Avarice', 'Friendship', 'Ambition', 'Love' and 'Sensuality'. Contemporary reviewers, however, questioned whether the work was not in fact composed by a disgruntled man attempting, 'in the paltry artifice of emasculation' to hide behind feminine anonymity in 'such a dishonourable attempt to stay the proceedings of criticism...take the public by surprize and procure for the contraband cargo a premature and very undeserved circulation' (Eclectic Review). COPAC records copies at three locations (BL, Queen's University Belfast, and Wellcome); OCLC adds five more (BNF, NYPL, Pennsylvania, Stanford and Waterloo). £ 750 2 ANTIQUATES – FINE & RARE BOOKS UNRECORDED VERSE CHRONICLE? 2) A LADY. Chronology of the kings and queens of england, rendered into rhyme...for the use of children. Bath. Printed by Benj. Higman...and sold by Suttaby and Co. London, and other booksellers, 1843. Second edition. 16mo. iv, [1], 6-16pp. Stitched, as issued, in original publisher's printed paper boards. Extremities marked, chipping to spine and board edges. Single instance of manuscript correction to text, some spotting. An apparently unrecorded verse chronicle, for children, of English monarchs from William the Conqueror to Victoria (and including Cromwell). The prefatory remarks of the anonymous female author explain that the work was initially published as a series of cards for the benefit of a sale held at Bath to raise funds for the building of a new church in the parish of St. Michael; we could locate no other copy of either this book, or that card-format edition, in the usual databases. £ 600 3 ANTIQUATES – FINE & RARE BOOKS 3) ABBOT, Robert. Antichristi Demonstratio, Contrafabulas pontificias, & ineptam Roberti Bellarmini de Antichristo Disputationem... Londini [i.e. London]. Excudebat Robertus Barkerus, 1608. Second edition. 8vo. [20], 582 [i.e. 482]pp, [2]. Recent red morocco, red cloth boards, lettered in gilt. Some marking to extremities. Marbled endpapers, paper repairs to small marginal worm-tracks, very occasional marking. The second edition, expanded, of Bishop of Salisbury Robert Abbot's (1559/60-1618) anti-Catholic polemic, first published in 1603. Very much in the apocalyptic tradition, Antichristi Demonstratio rejects Cardinal Bellarmine's Counter-Reformation views on the direct power of the papacy, and reasserted the Protestant view, popular in Tudor and Jacobean England, of the Pope as the antichrist of Revelation. This was a subject dear to King James I, who had composed in 1588 a meditation on the same theme. Such an opportunity to curry favour was not lost on Abbot, a royal Chaplain who owed his promotion to James' accession; and he thus included, as an appendix (pp.468-582 [i.e. 482]) to this second edition, the King's commentary on Chapter 20 of Revelation. ESTC S113874, STC 44. £ 450 4) ADANSON, Aglae. Catalogue des arbres, arbustes et plantes vivages, cultives en pleine terre. Baleine. [s.n.], [s.d., c.1830]. First edition? 12mo. 23pp, [1]. Unopened, stitched, as issued. Slight spotting, else fine. A rare survival, in original state, of a catalogue of the plants, trees, and shrubs growing at the jardin anglaise of Aglae Adanson (1775-1852), daughter of noted French botanist and naturalist Michel Adanson (1727- 1806). Having spent her early life in self-imposed exile, escaping the tumult of the Revolution, Adanson returned to France and her inherited estate at Balaine, in Allier, Auvergne; here, from 1804, she began the cultivation of what would become an extensive and much lauded arboretum. Adanson was one of the founding members of the Horticultural Society of Paris and became a respected botanist in her own right. In 1822 she published the popular La Maison de Campagne, the fourth edition of which, appearing in 1836, included this catalogue. £ 350 4 ANTIQUATES – FINE & RARE BOOKS 5) [ALADDIN]. Webb's juvenile drama. Aladdin; Or, The Wonderful Lamp: a romantic drama, in two acts. Written expressly for and adapted only to webb's characters & secnes in the same. London. Printed and Published by W. Webb, [s.d., c.1885]. 12mo. 18pp. Unopened, stitched, as issued. Together with 20 loose hand-coloured lithographed plates, as called for. Light spotting to plates, else fine. A rare survival in near-immaculate condition of a complete play set, consisting of '6 Plates of Characters', '11 Scenes' and '3 Plates of Wings Nos 37, 38 and 39', with the 'Book adapted to the above', designed to be variously dissected or assembled to produce a toy theatre. With a history going back to the Regency era, publishers of toy theatres appear to have largely operated from addresses in East London, and specifically in and around Hoxton, by the mid-Victorian period. The engraver and printer W.G. Webb appears to have been producing such works between 1847 and his death, in 1890; Aladdin appears to be one of his later works, although no cataloguer has moved beyond conjecture for the dating of this volume. Between COPAC and OCLC we could only locate one complete set of this play set, at Toronto; amongst others, the V&A holds a part set of 14 plates, whilst Bristol and Oxford appear to hold the play-script only. £ 650 5 ANTIQUATES – FINE & RARE BOOKS PRACTICAL HELP FOR DEBTORS 6) AN OLD PRACTITIONER. The debtor's Pocket Guide, In Cases of arrest; containing cautions and instructions against the imposition and extortion of the Serjeant at Mace, Bailiff, Gaoler, &c... London. Printed by W. Strahan and M. Woodfall...For Richardson and Urquhart, 1776. First edition. 8vo. vi, [2], 163pp, [1]. With half-title. Contemporary calf-backed marbled boards, Rubbed and marked, without lettering-piece, short split splitting to head of lower joint, marbled paper separating from boards. Paste-downs sprung, very occasional light dust- soiling, small worm-track to gutter margins of final two gatherings. A rare guide produced to extricate eighteenth-century debtors from the clutches of the law; including practical examples of avoiding imprisonment, securing bail and bringing the writ of Habeas Corpus, with reference to applicable case precedents and statutes. It was designed, according to the anonymous 'Old Practitioner' author, 'for those who would avoid the conveniences of the law' as well as 'a sure guide to such who from the casualties of life become subject to its power'. ESTC records a single copy in the British Isles (BL), and another in North America (Harvard). ESTC N6515. £ 950 6 ANTIQUATES – FINE & RARE BOOKS 7) BACON, Francis. Considerations touching a Warre with spaine. Written by the Right Honourable Francis Lo. Verulam, Vi. St. Alban. [s.i.]. [s.n.], Imprinted 1629. First edition. Quarto. [2], 46pp. Uncut, handsomely bound by F. Bedford in nineteenth-century gilt-tooled polished tan calf, T.E.G., recently expertly rebacked to style by Aquarius of London, preserving contemporary backstrip and morocco lettering-piece, housed in custom brown morocco-backed slip-case. Marbled endpapers. Very light marking to extremities., recent bookplates of Harold Greenhill and David and Lulu Borowitz to FEP, earlier booksellers note tipped-in to recto of FFEP, small repaired hole to title- page - just clipping author's name, else a fine copy. Francis Bacon's (1561-1626) vehemently militarist appeal, composed in 1624, for Britain to go to war with Spain in order to limit Habsburg dominance of the Continent; 'Their greatnesse consisteth in their treasure, their treasure in their Indies, and their Indies (if it be well weighed) are indeed but an accession to such as are Masters of the Sea, so as this axeltree whereupon their greatnesse turneth is soone cut in two, by any that shall be stronger than they by Sea whereas wars are generally cause of poverty or consumption, on the contrary part the special nature of this warre with Spaine (if it be made by Sea) is like to be a lucrative and a restorative war'. To bolster his advocacy of aggression, Bacon exploits the past victories of the British Navy in order to both ignite patriotic fervour and make triumph seem all the more likely. He thus keenly narrates the repelling of the 1601 Spanish invasion of Ireland, provides an account of the exploits of Drake and Hawkin in their expeditions against the enemy in the West Indies, and, in addition to relating the destruction of the Spanish Armada in 1588. Bacon's amanuensis and hagiographer William Rawley, in the foreword to his compilation of Bacon's essays, Certaine miscellany works, published in the same year, scathingly refers to this edition as being 'corrupt and surreptitious' - nonetheless it is the sole printing in English of the work to be issued in the seventeenth-century.

  • Thomas Peel Dunhill, the Forgotten Man of Thyroid Surgery
    THOMAS PEEL DUNHILL, THE FORGOTTEN MAN OF THYROID SURGERY by I. D. A. VELLAR* THE MODERN surgeon approaches the surgery of thyrotoxicosis with confidence, the confidence derived from the excellence of modem anaesthesia, the euthyroid state of the patient and the knowledge that blood transfusion, antibiotics and the specific management of the occasional crisis are always available to extricate the patient from any of these complications. Though full of confidence in his own and others' abilities, he usually matches this by a profound ignorance of the contribution of the thyroid pioneers whose activities at the turn of the century helped to lay the foundation for the safe management of the thyrotoxic. One of these pioneers was an Australian, Thomas Peel Dunhill (fig. 1), whose contributions to thyroid surgery have been almost entirely forgotten. To understand fully the role of Dunhill, it is important to look at the position of thyroid surgery and in particular, the surgery of toxic goitre at the turn of the nineteenth century and in the first two decades of the twentieth century. It will then be possible to appreciate more fully the achievements of these thyroid pioneers, who enabled the mortality of the surgery of toxic goitre to be reduced from 30-50 per cent (it was 30 per cent at St. Thomas's Hospital, London, as recently as 1910) to a minute fraction of one per cent today. The early history of the surgery of the thyroid gland may be traced in Halsted's painstaking compilations included in his article. 'The operative story of goitre- the author's operation' in the Johns Hopkins Hospital Reports, 1920.1 However, the recognition of goitre goes back many thousands of years.

  • Catalogo Della Biblioteca Parrocchiale
    RegioneLombordia Comune di Esine Settore Trasparenza e Cultura Servizio biblioteche e beni librari e documentari Una “libraria” nel turbine della Storia: Giansenismo, Classicismo e Risorgimento nella Biblioteca Parrocchiale di Esine Introduzione di Ugo Spini Catalogo e note a cura di Vittorio Volpi Milano, 1996 Premessa La pubblicazione del catalogo della Biblioteca parrocchiale di Esine (BS) si inse- risce efficacemente nell’ambito degli interventi promossi dal Servizio Biblioteche e beni librari e documentari della Regione Lombardia volti a diffondere la conoscenza del pa- trimonio documentario delle biblioteche lombarde. La raccolta libraria descritta consta di 1219 opere stampate prevalentemente nei secoli XVIII e soprattutto XIX; la maggior parte dei volumi risultano essere appartenuti – come testimoniato da note di possesso e postille manoscritte - ai religiosi che a vario titolo ebbero rapporti con la Parrocchia di Esine fra Settecento e Ottocento. Il fondo ne rispec- chia dunque i diversificati interessi culturali che emblematicamente si intrecciano e si saldano con le fasi salienti dello sviluppo della storia e dell’evoluzione del pensiero. Il pa- trimonio documentario disponibile presso la Biblioteca parrocchiale può così essere oggetto di differenti “chiavi di lettura” a seconda che si soffermi l’attenzione sul contenuto delle pubblicazioni piuttosto che sulle caratteristiche editoriali degli stampati o si intenda in- vece approfondire la ricerca nell’ambito della storia locale. Il catalogo qui pubblicato - curato da Vittorio Volpi - è il risultato del lavoro di catalogazione intrapreso alcuni anni fa, finanziato dal Comune di Esine. Contiene le descrizioni delle opere appartenenti alla Biblioteca parrocchiale nel formato standard ISBD, con intestazioni secondo RICA e riporta con particolare ampiezza e dettaglio le note relative all’esemplare.

IVRLA1 RESEARCH REPORT: THE DUBLIN JOURNAL OF MEDICAL AND CHEMICAL SCIENCE CATALOGUE John Mullen and Harriet Wheelock (Researchers) 1. CONTEXT The aim of this project is to provide a full and complete catalogue of The Dublin Journal of Medical and Chemical Science (DJMS)2 from its establishment in 1832 to 1949. DJMS is the longest established medical periodical in Ireland, and is an invaluable source for the history and development of medicine in Ireland. Amongst its contributors and editors are some of the most famous Irish medical practitioners of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In their survey of the literature on Irish medical history Malcolm and Jones have shown that in the past histories of medicine of Ireland have tended to be narrowly focused on institutions, biography and public health, and to be descriptive in nature (1). This project aims to open up DJMS as a source for medical historians who are developing an analytical and contextual approach to their subject, and will hopefully develop further interest in the history of Irish medical publications.

Each one seized the spokes of my wheel, Spun it around, stopped, and left its mark. One struck me in the gall bladder, another slowly bowed my neck, Many of them laid their hands on my face: Light spread inside me, yet the day’s beams faded. That in turn had its effect on the joints of my sole and foot, My step grew heavy, my ankle began to twist. This took the pleasure from vigorous slurping and munching, It tortured my fingers in claw-like cramp. One stroked over my hair, so that it was streaked with grey, And banished me from the daughters to the mothers. The gloss fades, just as on the antique sideboard – The dowling splits, the drawer screeches: you’re out of fashion! But stand tall, with lively spirit, when the naked whirlwind Wildly tears at old trees and clumps of branches, And invisibly my little bird cuts victoriously through the thunderous song of the giant: My bird’s heart beats powerfully, Whether it is rejoicing or afraid, for it is not made to linger in limbo.

  • The Life and Labours of Robert James Graves, M.D
    THE DUBLIN JOURNAL oF I IEDICAL SCIENCE. JANUARY 1, 1878. PART I. ORIGINAL COMMUNICATIONS. ART. I.--The Life and Labours of Robert James Graves, M.D2 By JAMES FOULIS DUNCAN, M~.D.; ex-President, King and Queen's College of Physicians, &c. MR. PRESIDENT,--I have been requested by the Committee appointed to erect a statue to the memory of the late Professor Graves to give a short account of their proceedings, now that their labours have been brought to a close, and to make a few remarks introductory to the proceedings of the day. Some four years ago Dr. Hudson, who then filled the Chair which you now so worthily occupy, on the completion of his pre- sidential career, requested the College to appropriate the then vacant space on your right to a memorial of the late Professor Graves, corresponding in character and dimensions to the other figures which now adorn this hall. This suggestion was at once cordially agreed to. Shortly afterwards a meeting was called of members of the profession and other persons likely to sympathise with the movement, when a large and influential Committee was appointed to carry out the design, Dr. Stokes and Dr. Hudson, with the late Sir W. Wilde, being appointed secretaries. And here, it is only justice to say, that the late Sir W. Wilde, whose untimely death every true-hearted Irishman must deeply lament, a An Address delivered at the unveiling of the statue of Dr. Graves in the tta]l of the College of Physicians, Wednesday, December 19, 1877.

John Boyle O'Reilly. PREFACE We had at first intended that this should be a book without a preface, and indeed it needs none, for it speaks in no uncer- tain tones for itself; but on reconsideration we decided that it would be more seemly to give a short explanation of our aim, our motives, and our methods. As a result of innumerable inquiries which have come to us during our experience as educators, we have been forced to the conclusion that the performances of the Irish race in many fields of endeavor are entirely unknown to most people, and that even to the elect they are not nearly so well known as they deserve to be. Hence there came to us the thought of placing on record, in an accessible, comprehensive, and permanent form, an outline of the whole range of Irish achievement dur- ing the last two thousand years.
