Description
Three woodcut illus. in the text (one full-page). viii, 88 pp. (lacking half-title). 8vo, modern morocco by Middleton (small wormholes in upper margin of first few leaves), spine gilt. London: J. Churchill, 1847. First edition of a great rarity. Published in October 1847, this was the second treatise on ether anesthesia, and Snow’s first book on the subject. It contains the first illustrated account of Snow’s regulating inhaler, the first to control the amount of ether vapour received by the patient. Snow had published some preliminary comments in the London Medical Gazette, following which he modified the inhaler, and included the description of the final modified version in this book. Fine copy. Stamps of the Wellcome Library on verso of title. ❧ Garrison-Morton 5658.

Description
Wellington, N.Z.: Edwards, Russell & Co, 1894. About very good.. 28pp. 12mo. Original red cloth, cover gilt; edges red. Light wear and soiling. Small portion of flyleaf torn away to remove previous owner's name; presentation inscription from the author. Small library ink stamp on rear flyleaf. A presentation copy of the only published work by Louisa Blake (1844-1901), reformer and advocate for women's suffrage in New Zealand. The short collection of verse, largely devotional, also contains an interesting panegyric exalting the role of the Bishop of Mashonaland in saving a comrade during the First Matabele War in Zimbabwe, titled "A True Incident of the Matabele Campaign." Outside of the Antipodes, OCLC locates just four copies, with only one of these in the United States, at the University of Pennsylvania.
