Picking Up 5. Coursing. --- Dead, dead 6. Coursing. Going Home Coursing is the pursuit of game or other animals by dogs-chiefly greyhounds and other sighthounds-catching their prey by speed, running by sight, but not by scent. Coursing was a common hunting technique, practised by the nobility, the landed and wealthy, and commoners with sighthounds and lurchers. In its oldest recorded form in the Western world, as described by Arrian, the sport was practised by all levels of society, as remained the case until Carolingian forest law appropriated hunting grounds, or commons, for the king, the nobility, and other land owners. Animals coursed include hares, rabbits, foxes, deer of all sorts, antelope, gazelle, jackals, wolves. Jackrabbits and coyotes are the most common animals coursed in America. Competitive coursing in Ireland, the UK and Spain has two dogs running together. In America, generally speaking three dogs are run together.

Description: New York: Frederick A. Stokes, n.d.. Rare. "Dr. Beaumont has been for many years one of the principle medical officers of the White Star Line, and has practiced not only the art of Aesculapius but also the gentler art of making friends. In his many trips across "The Herring Pond" he has come to know nearly every European and American celebrity---not excluding Barnum and Bailey's "Freaks"---and he has many good stories to tell. Further, in this entertaining book Dr. Beaumont relates some very interesting episodes of life at sea during the Great War, and offers some meditative reflections on certain curious social phases that are very definitely Post War". In this often humorous memoir by the Surgeon of the R.M.S. Majestic, White Star Line, Beaumont brings us on voyages between as diverse destinations as London, Boston, the Mediterranean, and New Zealand. He comments on everyone from crew and third-class right on up through first-class passengers, interspersed with such entertaining chapters as "With Barnum and Bailey's Circus on the Atlantic" and "Folks I Have Met". Illustrated with black and white photographs. This book is undated, though a previous owner has insribed it with a signature and "Jan 12, 1929". It is bound in brown cloth stamped with gold lettering. Binding appears firm, though inner hinges have been protected/reinforced with white linen tape. Very slightly rubbed corners, and a small area of wear on the upper left corner between spine and front cover. Very good condition. . 21.25 cm. ix, 298 pp. b/w frontspiece. b/w plates

I hope you will find them suited to your purpose. I have just received the magnificent work of Galen translated by Mrs. May. I am most grateful to you for this fine addition to my library. It is a book that I would possibly not have contemplated buying but I would have had to make use of a library, so that I am all the more pleased to have it. With good wishes, Yours sincerely, Jessie Dobson, Curator, Hunterian Museum."

Garrison-Morton 460 (citing this 2d ed.)." JESSIE DOBSON (1906-1984), Hunterian Museum's first female curator, has a unique place in the history of the Hunterian Museum. She graduated with a BA from Manchester in 1927, and after being awarded a Diploma in Education in 1928, she went on to teach at a school in Eastbourne for several years. She then qualified as an Associate of the Institute of Secretaries, and became secretary to Professor J.S.B. Stopford, FRS, in the anatomy department of the Manchester University Medical School, and then to his successor, Frederic Wood Jones, FRS. The Hunterian Museum was severely damaged by bombing during the Second World War and Wood Jones was employed to restore the museum. Dobson assisted him in this work. In 1944, she took the MSc by thesis, writing about the background to her work in the museum. After Wood Jones' death in 1954, Dobson was appointed curator of the museum. She completed the work he had begun of remodelling the Museum as John Hunter had intended it. This included refurbishing the remnants of Hunter's collection and filling any gaps with replicas based on his descriptions. Dobson became an expert in methods of museum display, and an authority on Hunter and his contemporaries. --Geraldine O'Driscoll, Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2017. The Hunterian Museum is a museum of anatomical specimens in London, located in the building of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. In 1799 the government purchased the collection of the Scottish surgeon John Hunter which they presented to the College. This formed the basis of the Hunterian Collection, which has since been supplemented by others including an Odontological Collection (curated by A E W Miles until the early 1990s) and the natural history collections of Richard Owen. In May 1941 the College building was badly damaged by bombs, with Rooms IV and V of the museum being completely destroyed along with their contents. After a slow process of entirely new construction in which some of the original design features were maintained, the Hunterian Museum reopened in a reduced form in 1963. PROVENANCE: NOBLE SUYDAM RUSTUM MALUF (1913-2011) was an American surgeon; M.S. and Ph.D., Cornell University, 1936; M.D., Harvard University, 1946. Sterling fellow Yale University, 1936-1937, Honorary fellow 1937-1939, Johnston Scholar, Johns Hopkins University, 1939-1940.
