Title: French and Indian Cruelty Exemplified, in the Life, and Various Vicissitudes of Fortune of Peter Williamson...
Author: Williamson, Peter.
Seller: Ten Pound Island Book Co. (United States)
Description: Edinburgh: Printed for and Sold by the Booksellers, 1792. "who was carried off from Aberdeen in his Infancy, and sold for a Slave in Pennsylvania." In 1754, after a series of abductions and adventures that carried him from his homeland, Williamson was taken prisoner by a group of Cherokee Indians. He escaped after a year and subsequently joined the army before being wounded and shipped back to Plymouth, England. He then walked back to Aberdeen, telling his stories enroute, which he later published as this book. The frontispiece engraving, "Peter Williamson in the Dress of a Delaware Indian" shows him smoking a pipe. First published in York, England in 1757, it went through several printings prior to this 1792 edition. See Howes W-500, who notes, "Among British readers the most popular of all Indian captivities; describes the 1755 Oswego expedition." See also Field 1677. Sabin 104474. Only a single copy of this edition has sold at auction since 1901, and that one lacked the frontispiece. Nothing but modern reprints online. Bound in calf over marbled boards. Binding and spine label worn. Back board detached but present, as is the frontispiece. Housed in fabric "flipflop" and slipcase.. 17 cm. vi-156 pp. b/w frontispiece

Title: Papers on Deaf-Mutism (with two papers on the limits of human hearing)
Author: Kerr Love, James
Seller: Biomed Rare Books LLC, ABAA, ILAB (United States)
Description: Glasgow: Reprinted for the Author, 1893. First edition thus. SCARCE COMPILATION OF 6 PAPERS BY SCOTTISH OTOLOGIST WHO SPECIALIZED IN TREATMENT AND EDUCATION OF DEAF-MUTES, AND BECAME A FRIEND OF HELEN KELLER, 8 inches tall slim hardcover, printed paper covered boards, brown cloth spine, [iv], 9 pp, 10 pp, 11 pp, 22 pp, 29 pp, 1 plate, 17 pp, 1 plate. Covers rubbed and soiled, bookplate of Glasgow University Library (withdrawn) to front paste-down, no other library markings, browning to page edges, front hinge cracked, text unmarked, very good minus. CONTENTS: 1. The hearing power in deaf-mutes; being the results of the examination of 175 deaf-mute children. Archives of Otology, Vol. xxii, No. 2, 170-178, 1893; 2. The pathology of deaf-mutism. Archives of Otology, Vol. xxii, No. 3, 271-279, 1893; 3. Congenital deafness. Glasgow Medical Journal, October, 1893; 4. The education of the Deaf and (so-called) dumb. Proceedings of the Philosophical Society of Glasgow, 1893 (pp 1-11, Dr. Love's paper; pp 11-22, Mr. Addison's paper); 5. An inquiry into the limits of hearing. Glasgow Medical Journal, 1888; 6. On the acoustics of musical sounds. Proceedings of the Philosophical Society of Glasgow, 1888. JAMES KERR LOVE (1858-1942) graduated in Glasgow University M.B., C.M. in 1880 and M.D. in 1888. Early in his career he began to devote himself to Otology and attained great prominence in that specialty. He held many appointments, the chief of which was that of Aurist to the Royal Infirmary from 1891 to 1919 when he retired as Hon. Consulting Surgeon. In 1912 he was appointed to the National Bureau Lectureship for the Prevention of Deafness. Dr. Kerr Love was widely known for his pioneer advocacy of the education of the deaf mute in lip reading, maintaining that by that method the deaf person could be brought to lead a relatively normal life in mixing with his fellows. Miss Helen Keller, the extraordinary woman who in spite of being blind and deaf and dumb was able to educate herself and write books of the story of her life, was a friend of Dr. Kerr Love, and was persuaded by him to leave her home in America and visit Scotland where for a time she was his guest. During that visit Glasgow University conferred on her the Honorary Degree of LL.D. None of those present at the Graduation Ceremony in the Bute Hall will forget the moving picture of this remarkable lady being led to the rostrum by Dr. Kerr Love to be received and laureated by the Chancellor. And if anything it was even more striking to watch her friend and teacher, the late Mrs. Macey, sitting quietly by her side telling her in her own understandable language with fingers on lips all about what was going on around her from which she was otherwise shut off.
