Description
Woodblock (240 x 445 mm.) & handles. [Korea: 1706]. Woodblocks are invaluable historical artifacts in East Asian history, serving as key instruments in the preservation and dissemination of knowledge. The printing process involves brushing ink onto the carved surface, pressing a sheet of paper onto it, and rubbing it with a printing pad or brush to transfer the inked negative impression. Korea has a long and distinguished history of woodblock printing, with remarkable achievements such as the Tripitaka Koreana (13th century). Nevertheless, only a few original woodblocks have survived, as they were vulnerable to wear, war, and environmental decay. Extant examples, extremely rare outside of Korea, are especially valuable for understanding early modern printing culture, scholarly networks, and book history. Hunchiyang sŏnsaeng munjip, published in 1706 (King Sukchong 32), is a monumental collected works of two brothers, Chŏng Man-yang 鄭萬陽 (1664-1730) and Chŏng Gwi-yang 鄭葵陽 (1667-1732). The title references the hun and chi, two harmonizing ancient Chinese wind instruments, symbolizing the brothers’ deep fraternal affection — a metaphor drawn from the Confucian classic the Shijing (Book of Odes). Often likened to the celebrated Cheng brothers of Song China (920-1279), the Korean Chŏng brothers embodied the ideal of harmony in both familial and scholarly life. They declined official appointments in favor of nurturing their community, educating later generations, and preserving scholarly and ceremonial traditions. The complete collection comprises 30 kwŏn in 16 volumes and includes more than 700 poems, 300 chronological letters, assorted essays, a family genealogy, and rare musical diagrams and scores for the hun and chi — an exceptional feature that illuminates musicological practices among the 18th-century Chosŏn literati. Our woodblock contains the 17th and 18th leaves of the 30th kwŏn. The block is in near-perfect condition. We believe that the handles and affixed ornamental metalwork were added later so the woodblock could be hung as a decorative item. Original woodblocks are exceedingly difficult to find outside Korea, and no institutional holding of even the printed edition from this block is known outside the country. Many of the surviving woodblocks are preserved at the Academy of Korean Studies in Seoul.

Treatise on the Physical and Medical Treatment of Children was published well after the death of Dewees, with the 11th edition appearing in 1858.

New York: William Wood & Co., 1881. First edition. SCARCE ATLAS OF EARLY SECTIONAL ANATOMY BY HARVARD ANATOMIST USING TISSUE FROZEN BY "NATURAL COLD". 11 inches tall hardcover, black cloth binding, gilt title to cover and spine, bookplates of Michael F. Fallon and Noble Suyham Rustum Maluf to front paste-down, small handstamp of Dr. M. F. Fallon, Worcester, Mass., to front free endpaper and title page, handstamp "Fallon Clinic Library" bottom of page 7. 66 pp, 15 plates. Light wear to cover corners and spine ends, pages age-toned. No external library marks, pages crisp and clean. Very good minus in custom archival mylar cover. PREFACE: "The sections that form the basis of this little work were made, with many others, during the winter of 1880-81, to illustrate my lectures at the Harvard Medical School. The sections were so in structive, and the series so perfect, that I was very anxious to have them drawn and published. The subject was the body of a girl, said to be three years old. The anatomy of this age has received little attention, and I hope that this work may therefore be of use. The reader is urged, however, to study the plates carefully for himself. They are of life-size, and drawn from the sections with great care and patience. The arteries were injected. My experience with frozen sections enables me to offer the following directions for making them. I always use natural cold when possible. Weather much above zero (Fahrenheit) is unsatisfactory; but if the part is thoroughly chilled by several days' exposure to a pretty low temperature, a night of 10� may possibly finish it. The body should be frozen like a rock-so much so that the operator cannot tell whether he is cutting bone or muscle. The sections should be made in a cold room, with a sharp saw that has been chilled. The specimens from which these plates are made are preserved at the Harvard Medical School, and are at hand to solve any doubts that may arise. To study the plates turn the book so that the vertebra is nearest to you and imagine that you are looking down into your own body."�"70 Beacon Street, Boston, July, 1881. THOMAS DWIGHT (1843 - 1911) was an American physician who graduated from the Harvard Medical School in 1867. He then studied abroad. He was then instructor in comparative anatomy at Harvard College, and succeeded Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. as Parkman professor of anatomy at Harvard Medical School in 1883. In the Warren Museum of Anatomy at Harvard, Dwight arranged a section of osteology, considered one of the best in existence, and he had an international reputation as an anatomist. He served as the third president of the Association of American Anatomists from 1894-1895. PROVENANCE: MICHAEL FRANCIS FALLON (1863 - 1936), founder of the Fallon Clinic, was a surgeon who was born and died in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Description
London: Printed for T. Longman, B. Law, F. & C. Rivington, R. Baldwin, G. & T. Wilkie, and J. Walker, 1797. 21st Edition. 150 x 93 mm. (5 7/8 x 3 5/8"). viii, 123, [1] (ads) pp. Contemporary brown burlap, flat spine. With allegorical vignette on title page and 25 half-page woodcuts illustrating items from the vocabulary lists. Pastedowns with traces of book label removal. ◆Spine slightly cocked, short split to cloth on rear joint, a little fraying at ends of spine, but the insubstantial binding surprisingly solid. Two small stains to each pastedown (where labels removed), title page lightly browned, leaves a shade less than bright (due to paper quality), other minor imperfections, but an excellent copy internally, clean and fresh with comfortable margins. All in all, remarkably well preserved. First issued around 1711, this is the best-selling work of James Greenwood (1683?-1737), an influential grammarian and a proponent of women's education. Arranged into 33 chapters, the book divides vocabulary lists by topic, beginning with "things" and proceeding through minerals, plants, animals, humans, and diseases, to everyday items, affairs of church and state, the law, the military, and finally to the various parts of speech, from verbs to conjunctions. Widely used, the work was revised and reprinted until at least 1828. At about the time this work was originally issued, Greenwood had founded a school in Essex where he accepted girls as well as boys as pupils; he was later recruited to serve as assistant headmaster at St. Paul's School in London. This volume is of particular interest because of its rarely seen utilitarian period binding. We would have expected it to have been worn to shreds long ago, but, against the odds, it has withstood hard use by young pupils remarkably well, and it gives us a glimpse of an important element of the English schoolroom at the turn of the 19th century..

Description
1814. Waterhouse, Benjamin. Autograph note signed written after 1814 by Benjamin Waterhouse, the Harvard physician who introduced Edward Jenner's smallpox vaccination to the United States and helped establish the earliest vaccination campaigns in North America. Waterhouse emerged as a central figure in early American public health after learning of Jenner's experiments in England and promoting the new inoculation method in the United States at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Through his advocacy and experimentation, including early vaccination trials in Massachusetts, Waterhouse played a decisive role in demonstrating the practicality of vaccination as a preventive measure against smallpox, a disease that had caused repeated epidemics in the Atlantic world. Waterhouse, Benjamin. Autograph note signed. [After 1814]. The brief manuscript reads: "Please to exchange this vol. of Ld. Sheffield's works of Gibbon for the 4th." Boldly signed "B. Waterhouse." The note refers to the collected works of historian Edward Gibbon edited by John Baker Holroyd, Earl of Sheffield, whose multi volume edition of Gibbon's Miscellaneous Works was issued in expanded form beginning in 1814. Waterhouse's request concerns the exchange of volumes within that set, specifically requesting the fourth volume which contained Gibbon's classical and critical writings. Benjamin Waterhouse served as the first professor of the theory and practice of physic at Harvard Medical School and became one of the earliest American proponents of vaccination following Edward Jenner's discovery of the cowpox vaccine in 1796. In 1800 he carried out the first successful vaccination experiments in the United States and actively promoted the method through publications and public demonstrations, helping to establish vaccination as a recognized medical practice in the early republic. Manuscript material signed by Waterhouse provides documentary evidence from a physician whose efforts helped introduce vaccination to American medicine during the formative years of public health in the United States. Glue residue along the edges and general age toning. Otherwise very good condition.

Description
Alameda, Ca, 1896. Very good.. Handbill, 8.5 x 5.25 inches. Old folds, minor wear. An apparently unrecorded resolution involving the first ballot measure calling for women's suffrage in California in the waning years of the 19th century. Here, the Alameda County Political Equality Society calls for two representatives to be present at each polling place in the county to ensure that votes are "properly canvassed and returned." Particularly at issue was Amendment No. 6 in the election, "extending the right to women to vote." A printed note at the bottom of the document states that the resolution was "Passed by the Board of Supervisors of Alameda County, at their regular meeting, November 2nd, 1896." The prospect of calling for representatives to monitor polling places indicates the political unrest brought forth during the suffrage movement. Of particular interest on this handbill are the vote tallies handwritten on the verso, beginning with the county or precinct totals for President and including numerous other state and local races; for example, William McKinley received 116 votes to W.J. Bryan's 34. The handwritten tallies do not include totals for the Women's Suffrage Amendment, but it was ultimately defeated statewide by a healthy margin of about 27,000 votes. The present handbill provides a unique record of a failed attempt in California to secure for women the right to vote at the close of the 19th century. It would take another fifteen years for women to achieve the franchise right, when a similar amendment to the California Constitution narrowly passed (by just over 3,500 votes) in 1911.

Both volumes about very good with uniformly sunned backstrips. Small private bookplates on the front pastedowns. Illustrated with twenty woodblock illustrations by Howard Simon. Kit Carson's life story is, in essence, the story of the West as that region developed over the first three quarters of the nineteenth century. As such, then, Kit's life symbolizes the story of the American fur trade; of buffalo hunting and beaver trapping; of Indian tribes and Indian wars; of the annual rendezvous in mountain meadows; of the immigrant, the pathfinder, the soldier, and the seeker after gold - all following the Santa Fe, Spanish, Oregon, and California trails; of cantonment, Indian trading posts, and an adobe castle on the Arkansas River; of the caravan, the pack train, the oxcart, the overland stage, and the express by pony; of the conquests of Oregon, New Mexico, Texas, and California; of a wild and unknown West finally explored and conquered; of the march ever westward until the land from the Atlantic to the Pacific was under one flag.

Description
A.L. Burt Company, 1911. Hardcover. Fine/Near fine. 8vo. Cootes, F. Graham. Full green cloth with white lettering and pasted on cameo of the heroine, under pictorial jacket featuring the same portrait (by illustrated F. Grahame Cootes), 511 pp. plus ads. Minor discoloration to page edges, DJ has one very small closed tear to top edge, rubbing to panels, but is extraordinarily well preserved. Although not dated by A.L. Burt, this is the latest novel listed on the front flap as well as at the rear of the book, so it was almost certainly within a year or two of the original publication. Scarce in jacket. Harold Bell Wright was the first novelist to sell a million copies of a single title, as well as the first to make a million bucks (there are macroeconomic issues at work here, but it's still quite the achievement.) Barbara Worth was--and still is--one of his most popular works. The 1926 film gave Gary Cooper one of his first major roles, although he didn't get the girl in this one. An historical novel of California's great Imperial Valley & the creation of the Salton Sea.
