Title: A Treatise on Gonorrhoea Virulenta and Lues Venerea
Author: BELL, Benjamin
Seller: Rootenberg Rare Books & Manuscripts (United States)
Description: Albany: E. and E. Hosford for E.F. Backus, 1814. FIRST ALBANY EDITION. Contemporary brown calf (worn but sound), gilt red morocco title label. Internally somewhat browned. The illustrations show progressed levels of venereal disease in human genitals and medical instruments for treating them. First Albany edition of the “first [text] to differentiate between gonorrhea and syphilis” (Garrison-Morton 5200, 2378). Although first published in Edinburgh in 1793, an advertisement to the present edition indicates that this imprint leaves the original text untouched, but with numerous notes and case studies added in a smaller type “to render that work more valuable, by adding to it the improvements in practice as well as the investigations on the nature of the disease, which have been offered since the period at which the Author wrote.” Written by a surgeon with a special interest in pathology, this treatise covers symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and recurrence of venereal diseases in men and women. Bell pays particular attention to the spread of venereal disease between partners and from mothers to infants, stressing the importance of treatment to all those potentially exposed. The illustrations show progressed levels of venereal disease in human genitals and medical instruments for treating them, and the comprehensive index makes the work user-friendly.

Title: The mammals of South Africa
Author: SCLATER, W.L.
Seller: Rootenberg Rare Books & Manuscripts (United States)
Description: London: R.H. Porter, 1900. FIRST EDITION. With the title page of the series before the title to Volume I, folding map and 150 text illustrations, bibliography in Volume I. Green cloth, spine labels; an excellent copy from the Library of Dr. James M. Dolan with his stamp on the first title. First edition of the most comprehensive account of the mammals in the geographical area between the Cunene and Zambesi Rivers. The two volumes are part of a six-volume work begun by Stark in 1900 and completed in 1906. Sclater, Director of the South African Museum in Cape Town, describes small and large mammals, providing their physical description, dimensions, distribution and habits. Much of the material is derived from observations of his numerous correspondents. The illustrations were lent by the Committee of Publication of the Zoological Society of London. Sclater (1863-1944), son of the well-known ornithologist Philip Lutley Sclater, was a British zoologist and curator of the South African Museum. During his time spent in South Africa he completed his Flora and Fauna of South Africa and the four volume Birds of South Africa. After he resigned, he moved to Colorado Springs in America before returning to England in 1909 to become curator of the Bird Room at the Natural History Museum.

Title: GEN. Z. TAYLOR, ("ROUGH AND READY.")
Seller: De Simone Company, Booksellers (United States)
Description: New York: Lith. & Pub.by Sarony & Major, 1846. Folio. 355 x 255 mm., [14 x 10 inches]. image size 300 x 220 mm., [11 ¾ x 8 ¾ inches]. Lithograph printed in tones of back and highlighted in blue, yellow, red, and green wash. Paper stock show discoloration in margins and on back, remnants of tide marks on the verso of the print; paper generally in good condition and image clear and the colors very strong. Matted. Lithographic portrait, produced by the firm Sarony & Major, that was published soon after the outbreak of the Mexican war in 1846 and Taylors early victories at the Rio Grande River. It was at this time that he was promoted to the rank of full general and became a hero to the American public. The lithograph shows Taylor in a battlefield setting with troops, maps, canon balls, and military equipment in the background. His figure is highlighted with a dominant red sash, gold (yellow) epaulettes, and a helmet decorated with a red and white plumb. His facial features are pronounced, and his gaze is directly at the viewer. Napoleon Sarony, a painter by training, learned the art of lithography under the tutelage of Henry Robinson and Nathaniel Currier. He went on his own in the early 1840's and teamed up with James Major in 1846, a partnership which was to last two decades. His portraits were always painterly in composition and executed with care and detail that were hallmarks of his work. Appleton's Cyclopaedia of American Biography, V. pp. 51-56. Harry T. Peters, American on Stone, pp. 350-357. (846.
