Title: Shinkan Kotei meido kyukyo [trans.: The Yellow Emperor’s Canon of Moxibustion]
Author: DOU, Guifang, trans. & proofreader
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: 45 woodcut illus. in the text. 29 folding leaves. Three vols. in one. Large 8vo, orig. wrappers (rather rubbed, some light dampstaining), remains of block-printed title label on upper cover, modern stitching. [Kyoto]: Osumi Seibei, [Foreword dated 1311, colophon dated 1675]. The third edition — preceded by an undated early 17th-century undated edition and a 1659 edition — of this collection of dissertations on moxibustion and acupuncture. It concerns moxibustion treatment for adults and children with 36 pictures of adults and nine of children, illustrating the locations of acupuncture points with explanations of efficacies. This edition is notable for presenting an entirely new set of woodcuts, smaller in size. This work is a commentary and explanation of the Ling-shu, which “formed [along with the Su Wen] the theoretical basis of classical Chinese medicine…the Ling-shu…discusses mainly therapy — mostly centered on medicinal prescriptions, but also including physical therapies such as bonesetting and breathing exercises, and stimulation treatments such as acupuncture, moxibustion and massage.”–Sugimoto & Swain, Science & Culture in Traditional Japan, p. 85. Very good copy; WorldCat lists only one copy, at NLM.

Title: Cabinet Card Portrait of Ednah Dow Littlehale Cheney
Author: [Women – Abolitionism – Suffrage – Transcendentalism] [Cheney, Ednah Dow Littlehale] Warren Studios
Seller: Auger Down Books (United States)
Condition: Excellent tonal clarity. Excellent.
Description: Boston, Massachusetts: “Boston and Cambridgeport, Mass.” imprint on verso, N.d.. Albumen photograph on mount measuring 4 ¼ x 6 ½ inches. Contemporary pencil identification on verso reading “Mrs E D Cheney.”. Excellent tonal clarity. Excellent.. Oval bust portrait in profile, Cheney facing left, hair parted and drawn into a low chignon; wearing a dark dress with decorative buttons and a white lace collar. Born in Boston in 1824, Cheney was closely associated with the Transcendentalist and reform circles of mid-nineteenth century New England. As a young woman she attended Margaret Fuller’s conversation classes and moved within the intellectual orbit of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Theodore Parker, Bronson Alcott, and other Unitarian and reform leaders. A committed abolitionist, she supported antislavery efforts before the Civil War and, during the war, worked with Freedmen’s aid organizations, promoting education for formerly enslaved people and assisting Black regiments. Cheney was instrumental in advancing women’s professional education in Boston, helping to found the Boston School of Design for Women and supporting the New England Hospital for Women and Children (associated with the Woman’s Medical College of Boston). She served as president of the Massachusetts Woman Suffrage Association in 1879 and remained active in organized suffrage work thereafter. A prolific author, she published works on religion, education, and reform, including Life of Louisa M. Alcott (1889), reflecting her long friendship with the Alcott family. A Boston studio portrait of a central figure in nineteenth-century abolitionist, educational, and suffrage networks. We find no other examples of portraits of Cheney at the time of writing, and the last auction record in 2004.

Title: A Defiant Life: Thurgood Marshall and the Persistence of Racism in America.
Author: Ball, Howard.
Seller: Lighthouse Books, ABAA (United States)
Description: New York: Crown Publishers, Inc., 1998. First Edition. Octavo, hardcover, gilt lettering, xix, 428 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: Thurgood Marshall’s extraordinary contribution to civil rights and overcoming racism is more topical than ever, as the national debate on race and the overturning of affirmative action policies make headlines nationwide. Howard Ball, author of eighteen books on the Supreme Court and the federal judiciary, has done copious research for this incisive biography to present an authoritative portrait of Marshall the jurist. Born to a middle-class black family in “Jim Crow” Baltimore at the turn of the century, Marshall’s race informed his worldview from an early age. He was rejected by the University of Maryland Law School because of the color of his skin. He then attended Howard University’s Law School, where his racial consciousness was awakened by the brilliant lawyer and and activist Charlie Houston. Marshall suddenly knew what he wanted to be: a civil rights lawyer, one of Houston’s “social engineers.” As the chief attorney for the NAACP, he developed the strategy for the legal challenge to racial discrimination. His soaring achievements and his lasting impact on the nation’s legal system -- as the NAACP’s advocate, as a federal appeals court judge, as President Lyndon Johnson’s solicitor general, and finally as the first African American Supreme Court Justice -- are symbolized by Brown vs. Board of Education, the landmark case that ended legal segregation in public schools.
