Description
1837. First Edition. DICKENS, Charles. The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club. London: Chapman & Hall, 1837. Thick octavo, contemporary three-quarter purple polished calf gilt, red morocco spine label, marbled boards and edges. $6500.First edition, bound from the original parts (mixed first and later issues), of one of Dickens' greatest works, with 43 illustrations by Seymour, Phiz, and Buss, attractively bound.""From a literary standpoint the supremacy of this book has been… firmly established… It was written by Dickens when he was 24 and its publication placed the author on a solid foundation from which he never was removed…. It is quite probable that only Shakespeare's Works, the Bible and perhaps the English Prayer Book exceed Pickwick Papers in circulation"" (Eckel, 17). ""Never was a book received with more rapturous enthusiasm than that which greeted the Pickwick Papers!"" (Allibone I:500). Pickwick was the first volume in which Dickens was acknowledged as the author, rather than using his pen name, ""Boz."" Originally issued in 20 parts from April 1836 to November 1837. With 43 illustrations by Robert Seymour and Hablot Knight Browne (""Phiz"" or ""Nemo""), including frontispiece and vignette title page, and with the scarce plates by Robert William Buss at pages 68 and 74, suppressed in later issues. Includes marginal note on page 9 that was suppressed in later issues (Smith I:3). Mixed issue, with six of the seven first-issue points elaborated by Smith after Hatton & Cleaver, though H&C stress that ""to pass the test of earliest issue, copies must contain the single leaf which was printed without signature 'E' at the foot of page 25"" (H&C, 13). Smith's (and Hatton & Cleaver's) remaining six first issue points are indeed present in this copy: page 260, line 29 with ""hodling"" for ""holding""; page 267, figure ""7"" in page number slightly elevated; page 341, line 1 correctly reading ""inde-licate"" and line 5 reading ""inscription""; page 342, line 5, with ""S. Veller"" uncorrected; page 400, line 21, with ""this friends""; and page 432, with the ""F"" in the ""OF"" of the headline imperfect. With ""Directions to Binder""/errata leaf. Without half title. Smith I:3. Eckel 17-58. Gimbel A15. Bookplate; old bookseller ticket.Some foxing to plates; text generally clean. Contemporary calf-gilt sound and attractive.

1852. GOLD RUSH TALE. The German Emigrants or Frederick Wohlgemuth's Voyage to California. Translated by Leopold Wray (pseud. for Clara de Chatelain). [2], 39, [1] pp. Hand-coloured frontispiece and 7 hand-coloured lithographs. 12mo., 170 x 110 mm, quarter red morocco over marbled boards. Guben: F. Fechner, [ca. 1852]. Rare First Edition of this poignant German literary travel account of a Prussian boy, Fred Wolgemuth, his family, and their emigration to California during the Gold Rush era, illustrated with eight hand-coloured lithographs. The harrowing scenes and episodes recounted in the text include a gruesome wreckage of a Portuguese slave ship and an unsuccessful attempt to free a group of blacks in Havana. Arriving in San Francisco, Fred and the ship's captain join the hordes searching for gold in the mountains. Overcoming encounters with robbers, they finally strike it rich at the book's happy ending. References to Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin, at the height of its popularity in 1852, as well as to the San Francisco fire of 1851, strongly suggest a publication date of ca. 1852. This scarce work was reprinted for the California Centennial celebration by J.L. Delkin in 1949. In near-fine condition. Gumuchian I, 2204. R.E. Cowan and R.G. Cowan, A Bibliography of the History of California 1510-1930 169.

Offprint from Medico-Chirurgical Transactions 66 (1883). [2] 61 [1]pp. Chromolithographed plate. London: J. E. Adelard, 1883. 215 x 139 mm. Original plain wrappers, a little soiled. Occasional foxing, but very good. First Separate Edition, and extremely rare in offprint form. Garrison-Morton 3720. The classic description of infantile scurvy ("Barlow's disease"), including the pathology of the disease and a detailed list of cases. Up until the latter half of the 19th century, infantile scurvy had been confused with rickets: "the isolation of scurvy from rickets as a definite and separate disease-although often concomitant in the same child-was a triumph of deductive reasoning" (DNB) Barlow recommended fresh foods as a cure for the disease.

Description
Chicago: The Reilly & Lee Co. (A division of Henry Regnery Company). Fine in Near Fine dj. [1969] (c.1911). First Edition. Hardcover. [nice clean book with no discernible wear; the jacket shows only minor wear to the spine ends and along the front fold]. (pen and ink drawings) A nice copy of this uncommon facsimile reprint of Baum's 1911 imaginative tale of fairies and mermaids beneath the sea, featuring the original Neill illustrations (but no color plates), but with a concession to modernity by way of the somewhat psychedelic new dust jacket design. (Technically this a reprint of a slightly later (post-1918) edition, being as how the stated publisher is Reilly & Lee rather than Reilly & Britton, under whose imprint the original 1911 edition appeared. As usual with the bibliographer-unfriendly Baum reprints (Oz and other books), no date of publication other than the 1911 copyright appears anywhere on the book or jacket.) .
