St. Louis: The C. V. Mosby Company, 1931. Fourth edition. 169 DRAMATIC COLOR PLATES OF WAX MODELS OF DERMATOLOGIC DISEASES. Two hardcover volumes, red cloth binding, beveled edges, gilt title to spines. Vol I, i-x, 100 pp, 79 plates; Vol. II, i-viii, pp 101- 188, 90 plates, the 2 volumes containing a total of 322 figures. Corners bumped, scattered very light foxing to text, plates bright and clean, no ownership or library marks. Very good in custom archival mylar covers. From the PREFACE: "The present volumes represent the fourth English edition of the well known Jacobi-Pringle 'Atlas of Dermochromes.' The chromolithographs are mostly taken from wax models in the Breslau Clinic. A large number of new plates are now included which have been added by Dr. Karl Zieler, and are used by him in his valuable textbook. The new text is not a translation, but is an original contribution, the descriptive matter being limited to the essentials necessary for diagnosis and treatment." HENRY MacCORMAC (1879-1950), was a British dermatologist during the early twentieth century. MacCormac was a member of a distinguished medical family that included Henry MacCormac and Sir William MacCormac. Henry MacCormac was educated at the University of Edinburgh and graduated MB.ChB. in 1903. He qualified as a member of the Royal College of Physicians of England shortly thereafter. He served as a dermatologist in the department of dermatology at Middlesex Hospital.

Description
Los Angeles, CA: (Privately Reprinted for Lawrence Clark Powell by Wm. M. Cheney), 1956. Pamphlet. 4 5/8 x 3 1/16 inches. (12) pp. Typographic ornaments as rules on title page and colophon; text clean, unmarked. Brown printed wrappers, stitched; binding tight, corners bumped, spot on front cover, light fading to wraps. SCARCE. GK923-001. Good. LIMITED EDITION of 190 copies privately reprinted from the Saturday Review of Literature. The text in this volume makes the case for owning and reading books. Any kind of book. Just the type of enthusiastic endorsement of books and reading that Powell was so enthusiastic about. But Cheney gives the text a beautiful treatment worthy of a culture that seems to be fading away day by day. August Frugé was the longtime director of the University of California Press who broke new ground by expanding the book list beyond academic works to include titles about nature, history, and literature for a broader audience.
