Description
Paris: Royez, 1787. FIRST EDITION. With 2 large folding letterpress tables. Nineteenth-century calf-backed boards; spine rubbed, occasional light foxing, but otherwise a good, complete copy. First edition of this economic guide to hospitals. Here the author, a military and port physician, sets out the services that must be offered at a medical facility along with the cheapest way of providing them. He describes the proper furniture and rooms that should be built as well as pharmacies, chaplains, and staff. The final part of the text calls for a standardized educational program for doctors. The two folding letterpress tables serve as boilerplate charts that Dulaurens insists hospitals should keep in order to maintain accountability and streamline prognoses. The first lists one day of patient registrations at the Hôpital Royal de la Marine de Rochefort, where Dulaurens was a physician, and their names, date of entry, symptoms, medications given, dietary regime, observations after treatment, number of bloodlettings, and number of purgatives. The second chart repeats the first, but in a shorthand format for quicker work. OCLC records 6 copies in the U.S. (Yale, NLM, Ohio State, Amherst, Hagley, Michigan) Wellcome II: 496; Blake 128.

Description
London: Printed and Published by C. Clement, No. 183, Fleet Street, 1822. 16mo. (19 x 11.5 cm.), [iv], 207, iv pages. Index. FIRST EDITION, original issue, bound from the seven monthly parts published between August 1, 1821 and March 1, 1822 (no entry for February, 1822 was issued); with an added title page for the whole, dated 1822, and an added Index at rear. An important rural handbook, from the English pamphleteer, journalist and British MP William Cobbett (1763-1835). Fleeing potential imprisonment in England, he spent considerable time in the Canada and the newly formed U.S., and even operated a bookstore with a decidedly loyalist leaning in Philadelphia. During a later stay on Long Island, he wrote one of the first works on American horticulture, The American Gardener (1821), in which he strongly disapproved of what he saw here. He returned to England and published this work the following year. Originally bound from the seven monthly parts; this copy removed from a later binding, and binding not present. Still, the text block is untrimmed and clean. Scarce. [OCLC is utterly unclear on this title, with most copies corresponding to the stereotyped edition which followed this (but who the heck knows?); Attar 46.1; Cagle 613; Pearl, William Cobbett 115].

Description
Washington DC: National Geographic, 2002. First Edition. Leather bound. Near fine/very good. First edition of Public & Private: Twenty Years Photographing the Presidency by Diana Walker, inscribed to George H.W. Bush's Chief of Staff, Craig L. Fuller.. Octavo, 200pp. Blue leather, title embossed on cover. In publisher's dust jacket, lightly worn, in very good condition. Inscribed by the author and photographer on the title page: "For Craig and Karen, who were totally involved / in two of my five administrations! If Craig appears / on page 129, how come no picture of Karen?? How did I / miss you in the Reagan years? All my best to you both, always, / Diana / Diana Walker / December 2002." At the age of 34, Craig L. Fuller was asked to serve as the Chief of Staff for Vice President George H.W. Bush. He had previously served in the Reagan administration as the Assistant to the President for Cabinet Affairs. After serving as Chief of Staff for 4-years, it was assumed that Fuller would follow Bush to the White House in 1989. Shortly after the 1988 election, the President-elect told Fuller that New Hampshire Governor John H. Sununu would serve as his White House Chief of Staff. Fuller was disappointed and decided to return to the private sector, where he enjoyed a successful career in corporate and public affairs.
