Description
[Dijon]: n.p., 1845. First edition. Boards. Very Good. AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT OF AN UNPUBLISHED SURGICAL TRACT WITH HAND-DRAWN ANATOMICAL FIGURES. The manuscript contains sections largely concerning the amputation and disarticulation of hands and fingers, with chapters on various methods of incision and one titled "Amputations particulières" [Particular amputations]. The accompanying illustrations, "delin[eavit] ad nat[uram]" [drawn from nature] by Dr Frédéric Lépine, depict hands, forearms and digits in various poses (some delineated with incision marks), bone fragments and skeletal sections as well as surgical equipment. The two pages of medical implements also records the names of each device's inventor: Sedillot, Dupierris, Roux, Guyot and Colombat. One tipped-in leaf, titled "Main prisé dans un engrenage de Battoir à Blé" [Hand caught in a gear of a wheat thresher], presents a case study of a mangled hand with two semi-graphic depictions of the injured patient before and after surgery. The final two illustrations, in a deviation from the common theme of the manuscript, relate the appearance of "Testicule tuberceuleux syphilitique" [syphilitic tuberculosis testes]. In the case study of the hand, Lépine notes that he reconstructed the hand in 1844 with the cicatrisation process being complete by 1845, giving an approximate date for the manuscript. Dr Lépine authored several books of Burgundian local history including on the region's capital and location of his publishers, Dijon. However, he does not appear to have published any of his works on medicine and surgery. Possibly intending to complete a thorough survey of surgical operations for all parts of the body, the incomplete work-preserved likely in the present manuscript only-records Lépine's multiple studies of hands and fingers. FRÉDÉRIC, LÉPINE. Opérations chirurgicales. [?Dijon]: n.p., [?c. 1845]. Folio (11 x 16.5 in), 14 pp. with 5 leaves tipped-in; 20 pencil sketches, 11 ink sketches. Autograph manuscript bound in blue patterned boards backed in sage-green reversed calf, typed paper label to spine, large ornate label on upper board inscribed with title and author name. Some soiling to base of spine, scratches across upper label, some toning and foxing throughout with occasional water stains; all pages intact and illustrations largely unaffected; text neat and legibly written in a fine cursive hand. A UNIQUE DOCUMENT PRESERVING MEDICAL SKETCHES OF REMARKABLE DETAIL.

Description
Chicago, 1969. Poster. 24 x 20 inches. Minimal wear, fine condition. Fine. An iconic poster protesting the arrest of the Chicago 8 on conspiracy charges relating to the protests at the 1968 Democratic Convention. The group, originally as eight members, consisted of Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin, founders of the Youth International Party (YIPPIES), Tom Hayden, a co-founder in Students for a Democratic Society, Black Panther Chairman Bobby Seale (whose case would be declared a mistrial during the trial, leading to his exclusion from the Chicago 7), David Dellinger and Rennie Davis, members of the National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam (MOBE), and John Froines and Lee Weiner. The address, 28 E. Jackson, was a building where Rennie Davis rented a space, so it is possible that the MOBE printed this, though we cannot confirm.

Description
Berlin: Verlag der Akademie der Wissenschaften in Kommision bei Walter de Gruyter U. Co, 1929. First separate edition. Fine. 6 pages in printed wraps. Not exactly an "offprint," since the pages are numbered from 1, and the pamphlet is given its own title page, this is considered the first separate edition of a paper Einstein published in the periodical of the Prussian Academy. It is considered Einstein's initial effort, having established general and special relativity, to find a unified theory uniting gravity and electromagnetism, a problem he struggled with for his remaining life.
