Description
London: J. Mathews, 1801. SECOND EDITION. Some lovely woodcut vignettes and tailpieces. Contemporary tree calf, rebacked, marbled edges; interior generally excellent. Second edition, expanded from the first printing of 1797. A somewhat abridged edition of his Treatise on the diseases of children (London, 1784) which was considered the authoritative standard on pediatrics. This book not only includes the latest discoveries and methods of treatment but is a more focused work covering any and all potential health issues that may arise in birth and childhood. Instead of simple lists of illnesses and remedies, Underwood creates a practical arrangement here which assumes to a certain extent the chronological order in which medical events may arise. Also included here are sections on accidents and minor injuries that may occur in earlier periods of childhood. Underwood includes an extensive part on the nature and properties of human milk, which was his clear preference. His baby formula, consisting of boiled cow’s milk and barley water, is the era’s closest imitation of mother’s milk. He also wrote about conditions like infantile diarrhea, teething problems, and respiratory issues, providing practical advice on how to care for sick infants, which was a novel approach during his time. His work contributed to shifting the focus on children’s health as distinct from adult medicine. Underwood (1737-1820) was born in Surrey, England. He studied surgery and midwifery, a discipline that included pediatrics as well as obstetrics, in London and Paris. He was highly regarded as a “man-midwife” and attended prominent women of the day. In 1796, Underwood was chosen as accoucheur at the birth of Princess Charlotte of Wales. He was the first physician-accoucheur to be appointed to the Royal College of Physicians in London. Underwood is particularly remembered for providing one of the earliest known descriptions of polio. He refers to an illness affecting infants and young children, which he described as “debility of the lower extremities.” This is widely regarded as one of the first written account of poliomyelitis, although the disease was not fully understood at the time. His superior observation and research skills are largely responsible for the great advancements that followed in nineteenth-century pediatrics. DNB XX pp.31-32.

Copenhagen, Denmark: Thorvaldsens Museum / Aarhus University Press, 2020. Hardcover. Near Fine (light rubbing to corners, board edges. spine ends may have light rubbing or crinkling. may have bumping/creasing to corners). grey, pictorial boards w/ printing; printing color varies according to edition. three volumes, various pagnitations. A nice, bright set; appears to be lightly handled. Approx. 13lbs of shipping. "The Danish neoclassical sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844), who lived most of his life in Rome, was not only one of Europe's most sought-after artists; he was also a collector. In addition to his own works and drawings, he built extensive collections of paintings, prints, drawings and books and of ancient artefacts from Egyptian, Greek and Roman antiquity: coins, lockets, containers, vases, lamps, fragments of sculpture and more. He also acquired a large collection of plaster casts, primarily after ancient sculptures and reliefs, but also of works dating from the Renaissance and up until his own lifetime. Thanks to Thorvaldsen's bequest to the city of Copenhagen, his birthplace, all of these collections are still largely intact and well preserved at his museum. Home to a total of 657 plaster casts, the Thorvaldsen Museum's cast collection is unique for several reasons: The collection offers us insight into the sculptor's working methods and the development of his work because it served a clear function as an image bank of forms, motifs and subjects for Thorvaldsen's own endeavours. Furthermore, the dual fact that the collection is so well preserved and was established over a relatively brief period of time makes it a valuable example illuminating the trade and distribution of plaster casts during the first half of the nineteenth century. These areas of study form the central focal point of Volume I of this publication. Volume II contains a catalogue of the individual objects in the cast collection, while Volume III collects the overviews, inventories, concordances and primary sources referred to in the first two volumes. Arising out of many years of study of Thorvaldsen's cast collection conducted by their author, the classical archaeologist Jan Zahle, these books contain comprehensive source material from the period, much of it previously unknown."--WorldCat.
