Title: Viola Tricolor in Picture and Rhyme.
Author: Pocci, Grat Franz.
Seller: Ursus Books (United States)
Description: 1876. POCCI, Franz, Graf von. Viola Tricolor in Picture and Rhyme. [34] pp. With 8 chromo-lithographs executed by Lemerciér. Folio, 355 x 266 mm, bound in original green publisher's cloth, embossed and gilt, with new endpapers, professionally rebacked with a new matching spine. New York: Stroefer & Kirchner, 1876. First American Edition of the Viola tricolor, certainly one of the most unusual artistic renderings of Pansies. These humorous, nonsense poems are exquisitely illustrated with eight bizarre chromo-lithographs, brilliantly printed by Lemercier of Paris, all of which offer sensational curiosities, including: the Artist at his canvas; the Pas de deux; Don Quixote and Sancho Panza; the University Faculty; the Marriage proposal; the Concert d'amateurs; the Brocken (the gathering place for witches in The Walpurgis Night), and the Argonauts. All the faces have been replaced by variously coloured Pansies, with positively surreal results. The Viola tricolor is hard to find in acceptable condition, and although there is some slight wear to the edge of the binding, it is otherwise in fine, bright state, with the interior immaculate.

Title: Views of Society and Manners in America; in a Series of Letters from that Country to a Friend in England, During the Years 1818, 1819, and 1820. By an Englishwoman
Author: [ Wright, Frances ]
Seller: Michael R. Thompson, Booksellers, ABAA/ILAB (United States)
Description: New-York: Printed for E. Bliss and E. White, 1921 First American edition with the author's additions and corrections from the first London edition. Views of Society and Manners in America is a memoir in letters by the Scottish-born abolitionist Frances Wright on government, culture, slavery, and women's rights in the United States.. Original half black morocco over marbled boards in red, green, and black; spine lettered in gilt. Expertly rebacked to style. Octavo. Some toning to boards. Later bookplate on front pastedown. Foxing throughout, but overall a very good, tight copy of an important work. Frances Wright (1795-1852) became a citizen of the United States in 1825 and dedicated her life to advocating for women's rights, the abolition of slavery, socialism, and universal education. Wright was a playwright, newspaper editor, political lecturer, and memoirist, though her writing and public speaking were ardently opposed by many who thought her outspoken nature was inappropriate for a woman. Between 1825 and 1830, she attempted to establish the Nashoba Commune, a socialist utopian community in Tennessee where enslaved people could live and receive an education. The project failed, but Wright is remembered as a dedicated social reformer, and was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1994.

Allen was one of the foremost specialists in the treatment of diabetes prior to the discovery of insulin. He developed a treatment method based on severe calorie restriction, which reduced or eliminated glycosuria in patients but left them at risk of starvation. Allen was given early access to insulin after Banting and Best successfully isolated the hormone in 1922; the present report contains his detailed observations on the use of insulin in diabetic treatment, based on clinical records of about 2000 patients. .
