Description
London: 1770. White, Charles (1728-1813). Cases in surgery, with remarks. Part the first [all published] . . . To which is added, an essay on the ligature of arteries, by J[ohn] Aikin (1747-1822). 8vo. xv, 198, [2, blank], [3]pp. 7 fold. plates. London: W. Johnston, 1770. 201 x 126 mm. Gilt-ruled sheep ca. 1770, rebacked preserving original spine label, some edgewear. Fore-edge of last plate frayed, some toning and foxing throughout, library stamps on title and one or two other leaves. Good to very good copy. Modern bookplate. First Edition, collecting some earlier papers with new ones on related subjects and including Garrison-Morton.com 4407, "An account of a new method of reducing shoulders" (1764) describing White's method of reducing shoulder dislocations by suspending the patient from the affected arm; and 4437, "A case in which the upper head of the os humeri was sawed off" (1769), the first recorded excision of the head of the humerus. Also included is White's paper on "Tumours on new born children." White was co-founder of the Manchester Royal Infirmary and Manchester's St. Mary's Hospital for Lying-in Women; he was ahead of his time in enforcing strict hygienic conditions in his maternity wards, almost eliminating the risk of puerperal fever. He was the author of Treatise on the Management of Pregnant and Lying-in Women (1773; Garrison-Morton.com 6270), which went through five editions. This is White's only general surgical book. Re Aikin, whose essay is appended to White's work, see Garrison-Morton.com 6705, the first collection of British medical biographies, compiled by Aikin in 1780. White was Aikin's teacher.

Description
Paris et Londres: Chez Henri Colburn, 1827. Book. 3 volumes. 8vo, original boards, cloth spines, printed paper labels. A little rubbed at extremities. An attractive set. A rare three decker edition of this popular Indian novel, printed in London. Chateaubriand spent time among the Natchez during his extensive American travels in the 1790's, and his experience provides his frontier romances with more substantive detail than would characterize subsequent examples of the genre. Les Natchez was completed by 1800, but the author relates in the preface how the manuscript of the novel was guarded for many years by a poor English family to whom it had been entrusted when financial hardships forced him to return to France. It was first published in 1826 as volumes 19-20 of the Oeuvres Completes, followed in 1827 by a Brussels edition and this Colburn edition, which according to a note contains restored text. These first three editions are recorded in the NUC by single copies only. The only copy of any edition of this novel to appear in the auction records of the last 30 years is Bradley Martin's copy of the Paris 1826 printing (1990, FF 4200.) Sabin 12257..
