Title: Manuscript student lecture notes for T M Balliet's lectures
Author: Balliet, [Tilghman M] - "THERAPEUTICS" LECTURE NOTES
Seller: Palinurus Antiquarian Books (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: [Hanover, NH?]: Unique, ca1900. Commercial cloth covered "journal" notebook.. Very good.. Small folio commercial notebook ruled for accounts. Sheet size 315 x 192 mm. 44 lectures in 281 pages. In a clear hand throughout. At page 45 the hand changes to that of a professional looking secretarial hand that is without correction. T M Balliet's notes taken down by an unidentified student. Balliet had appointments at Dartmouth Medical School and had been the Attending Physician at the Old Man's Home in Philadelphia (founded 1864). He lectured on Therapeutics, i.e., the physiological relations of various medicines rather than their chemical properties, along with the different methods of administration. A number of commercial medicines are mentioned as are general groups. The text is specific, detailed, and very informative concerning the expectations when applied to specific illnesses. The notes are comprehensive, e.g., moving from strychnine through electricity.

Title: Observations on the Surgical Anatomy of the Head and Neck ....
Author: Burns, A - ANATOMY - CARDIOLOGY
Seller: Palinurus Antiquarian Books (United States)
Condition: Good; spine abraded; covers loose.
Description: Glasgow: Wardlaw & Cunninghame, 1824. Second Enlarged Edition (UK prtg.).. Original blue paste paper boards and paper label.. Good; spine abraded; covers loose.. 8vo, 4 (adverts dated Feb., 1824), [4], xxix, [1 - blank], [31] - 510, [2 - plate list] pp. + 10 plates. The second enlarged edition edited by Granville Pattison who was professor of anatomy at the Univ. of Maryland in America. Pattison was a student of Burns in Edinburgh. The two men were on friendly terms and after Burns' early death Pattison took over his copyrights, business, and lectureship at the College Street medical School. This edition is enlarged by appx. 100 pages; probably issued subsequent to the American edition of a year prior when Pattison was still resident in Baltimore. Burns was a noted anatomist. This book is similar to that of Morgagni's great treatise in that it attempts to correlate pathological signs to specific diseases. The illustrations are specific. An important book in cardiology (see Bedford's comments in his catalog) and most uncommon in the original boards as issued. See G - M # 405 & #3055; Goldschmid, p. 113; see the Pattison biography.

Title: The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks. New Revised Edition. Ilustrated by Nathan Gluck
Author: Embury, David A.
Seller: Rabelais - Fine Books on Food & Drink (United States)
Description: Garden City, New York: Doubleday & Co. Inc, 1958. Octavo (21.5 x 14.5 cm.), 362 pages. Third Edition, Revised. Perhaps the last of the classic cocktail books, a bookend of sorts to all of the pioneers that came before. Embury was nothing if not opinionated and blunt about expressing himself, so it comes as no surprise that David Wondrich puts him squarely in the "You may not know it, my friend, but you're drinking horse piss" school of drink writing. In this third, and some many think best, edition of the The Fine Art, Embury documents new changes in the cocktails he has included, and expands on his philosophy a good bit, including further comments on why a martini made with vodka is "a monstrosity". In addition to this information, this edition sports a true Mad Men- inspired dust jacket design, with a tasty photo by John Reed on the cover. Slight tide-line to bottom edge of publisher's yellow cloth, and a small chip to the head of the spine; in a price dust jacket, not price-clipped, with some wear to head of the spine and a light water stain to bottom edge (mostly visible on the interior of the jacket). Very near very good.

GEORGE MACARTNEY BUSHE (1793? - 1837) received his medical training in Dublin, and in 1828 assumed the chair of the Rutgers Medical School in New Jersey. After the College closed in 1830, Bushe turned from anatomy and physiology to surgery, specializing in disorders of the rectum and anus. Bushe died in 1837, the year of publication of his magnum opus, Treatise on the Malformations, Injuries, and Diseasess of the Rectum. It reflects his own experiences as well as knowledge gained from his vast library, including the best ideas of proctology from European sources. The eminent Howard Kelly of Johns Hopkins Medical School described Bushe's Treatise as "long considerred the ablest work on the subject in any language". -- Leon Banov, George Bushe, Author of the First American Book on Proctology, Diseases of the Colon and Rectum Vol. 16, pp 553-560 (1973). PROVENANCE: DR. WILLARD PARKER (1800 – 1884) was a surgeon of the United States, for many years a professor at the New York College of Physicians and Surgeons and other schools. He taught in district schools to obtain the means to enter Harvard College, where he graduated in 1826. He became the private pupil of John C. Warren, the professor of surgery at Harvard, and attended medical lectures in Boston. He received the degree of M.D. from Harvard in 1830. He was at once appointed professor of anatomy in Vermont Medical College, and in the same year accepted the chair of anatomy in the Berkshire Medical College, and in 1833 also that of surgery. In 1836 he was appointed professor of surgery in the Cincinnati Medical College, and afterward spent some time in the hospitals of Paris and London. In 1839 he became professor of surgery in the New York College of Physicians and Surgeons, which post he resigned after a service of 30 years. The operation of cystotomy for the relief of chronic cystitis, and also that for the cure of abscess of the appendix, are among his contributions to the art of surgery.

Condition: Near Fine
Description: McSweeney's. Near Fine. 2013. First Edition; First Printing. 1938073592 . Near Fine / Near Fine. Back-cover sticker is present. This is the Indiespensable edition of "The Best of McSweeney's. The Indiespensable edition is supposed to be signed 6X: Dave Eggers, Jordan Bass, Andrew Sean Greer, Ben Jahn OR Peter Orner, Jess Walter, and Arthur Bradford. NOTE: Jordan Bass did NOT sign this copy. Apparently it slipped through. This is the only copy that I have seen missing any of the six signatures. There are two variants of this signing. Peter Orner and Ben Jahn both signed in the same spot. Each of them signed approximately one-half of the copies. This is the 'Ben Jahn variant'. The other five signatures were the same five people for all copies. Each of them signed in approximately the same place. Once in a while Jess Walter signed a bit higher up than his usual spot. Arthur Bradford signed toward the bottom-left-corner on a fair number of copies. It appears that this usually happened when Dave Eggers' signature was on the large side and shoved Bradfod off the page from his usual spot. This copy has the 'billboard, or 'black-and-white sign' jacket variant. The jacket variants are split approximately 50 / 50. Unfolded, the jacket is a double-sided poster. Half the jackets were folded with one side out, and the other half with the other side out. This copy is unusual, in that Walter signed higher up, between Greer and Orner; Bradford signed at the bottom-left-corner; and Jordan Bass did not sign at all. I've not seen another copy missing Bass' signature. Sadly, J.T. LeRoy was censored out of the Index of Contributors (complete list of author contributors for the first 41 issues of the Quarterly Concern (no love for the illustrators)). ; The Best of McSweeney's is a compilation of some of the best short stories, poems, comics, and artwork from McSweeney's. It is a great resource for anyone interested in contemporary writing and comics. .
