Title: Manuscript book of Copied Medical Papers
Author: Anonymous
Seller: Biomed Rare Books LLC, ABAA, ILAB (United States)
Description: ca 1756. UNIQUE 18TH CENTURY LEATHER BOUND VOLUME WITH OVER 500 PAGES OF HAND SCRIPT CONTAINING COPIES OF CONTEMPORARY PUBLISHED MEDICAL PAPERS IN FRENCH AND LATIN. 6 1/2 inches tall hardcover, contemporary full leather binding, spine with raised bands, gilt compartments, faded gilt red leather labels, edges stained red. Light wear to edges of covers and spine, small wormholes margins of covers and top of pages, not affecting text. Pages are consecutively numbered in ink from 1 to 524. Each page is filled with about 25 lines of neat ink script, most in French, some in Latin. The contents represent hand copies of 18th century European medical papers, apparently entered by different scribes. The first paper is recorded as, " Recherches sur la force de l'imagination de femmes enceinte sur le fœtus a l'occasion d'un chien extraordinaire " par M. Eller, acad. de Berlin tom XII, 1756. [Research on the strength of pregnant women's imagination on the fetus on the exposure to an extraordinary dog]. The title of the original published paper reads " monstruous " rather than " extraordinary ". JOHANN THEODOR ELLER (1689-1760) was a major physician of the 18th century: chemist , Prussian military doctor and from 1735 personal physician under Frederick William I and Frederick II. This is followed by papers by Meckel, Fothergill, Roderer and Monro. JOHANN FRIEDRICH MECKEL (1781–1833) was a German anatomist born in Halle. He worked as a professor of anatomy, pathology and zoology at the University of Halle, Germany. JOHN FOTHERGILL (1712–1780) was an English physician, plant collector, philanthropist and Quaker. JOHANN GEORG ROEDERER (1726–1763) was a German physician and obstetrician who was a native of Strasbourg. He studied medicine at Leiden, Paris and London, and became the first professor of obstetrics at the University of Göttingen. ALEXANDER MONRO (1697–1767) was the founder of Edinburgh Medical School. To distinguish him as the first of three generations of physicians of the same name, he is known as primus.

Title: POLARIS: THE STORY OF AN ESKIMO DOG
Author: BAYNES, Ernest Harold
Seller: Antic Hay Books (United States)
Description: NY: The Macmillan Company, 1923. First Edition, first printing. Signed by Baynes of the front endpaper. From the Preface: “Every incident described in this life of Polaris actually took place, and almost everyone is recounted exactly as it occurred. [Dogs] do not possess such [human] intelligence, they possess canine intelligence and this often serves them better, probably, than would our own." The forebears of Polaris were on Adm. Robert Edwin Peary Sr.’s mushing team to the North Pole. Peary was an American explorer and United States Navy officer who made several expeditions to the Arctic in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is best known for claiming to have reached the geographic North Pole with his expedition on April 6, 1909. "Introduction" by Capt. Robert A. Bartlett, who sailed the "Roosevelt" for Peary, and the "Karluk" for Vilhjjalmur Stefansson. Bartlett called Polaris "the finest Eskimo dog in the world." Ernest Harold Baynes [1868–1925] was an American naturalist. He was "the closest thing New England, and the world for that matter, will ever get to a real-life Doctor Doolittle; all sorts of New England birds and animals: foxes, wolves, chickadees, bears and bison were known to roam around and in and out of his house"- New England Historical Society. He treated animals like friends, but unlike Doolittle, never claimed to talk to them. He was instrumental in bringing to public attention the near demise of songbirds and of the bison. Small 8vo., pictorial green cloth, stamped in white; 137 pages. I have never seen a dust jacket for this book and one dealer's listing said it was issued without one, which I find hard to believe, especially from a major publishing house like Macmillan. Plus, the discoloration to the endpapers appears to be caused by the flaps of a dust jacket. Illustrations From Photographs By Louise Birt Baynes, John R. Baynes, and the Author.. Very Good (little wear covers, contents clean & tight with some browning endpapers and tiny bump to corners of text for a few beginning pages).
