Title: Mimeographs of manuscripts, with occasional illustrations
Author: SHANGHAI, Textbooks of the New Chinese Medical College
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: Seven vols. 8vo (260 x 148 mm.), orig. semi-stiff wrappers with pasted-on title-slips, orig. stitching. Shanghai: Xinzhongguo yixueyuan, ca. 1941-42. A collection of textbooks issued by the New Chinese Medical College of Shanghai (Xin zhongguo yixueyuan 新中國醫學院), established in 1935, as the city's third modern medical school. The teaching faculty, including many leading figures in the modernization of Chinese medicine, sought to integrate traditional Chinese and modern Western medicine within a coherent pedagogical system. Giving equal weight to the medical theories, terminology, and treatments derived from longstanding Chinese practices as well as modern scientific research, these textbooks pioneered the Sino-Western hybrid approach of medical instruction (zhongxiyi jiehe 中西醫結合) that was unusual at the time but has since become widely accepted. Copies of these textbooks, printed by mimeograph for the students, are difficult to find today: we do not locate any in WorldCat, although a copy of the 1936 school code is held at Berkeley (accession no. 46645586). The individual titles of the seven volumes are as follows. • Tonglun ke jiangyi 通論科講義 [Lectures on General Theory]. By Liu Zhongqi 劉仲琪. 22, 28, 34, 23, 5 folding leaves. • Yaowuxue jiangyi diyice 藥物學講義第一冊 [Lectures on Pharmacology, Vol. 1]. By Zhu Zhicheng 朱志成. [1], 171 folding leaves. Final leaves wormed on upper corner. • Yaowuxue jiangyi dierce 藥物學講義第二冊 [Lectures on Pharmacology, Vol. 2]. By Qian Jinyang 錢今陽. [1], 94, [1], 43 (unnumbered insert between ff. 20 & 21), [1], 34 folding leaves. Includes materials for the second year of the course. • Houke jiangyi 喉科講義 [Lectures on Otorhinolaryngology]. By Xu Banlong 許半龍 (author) and Shen Zongwu 沈宗吳 (instructor). 48 folding leaves. Followed by Zhenduanxue jiangyi 診斷學講義 [Lectures on Diagnosis]. [Anonymous?]. 28 folding leaves. Followed by Zabing jiangyi 雜病講義 [Lectures on Miscellaneous Diseases]. By Qian Gongxuan 錢公玄. 30, 10 folding leaves. Followed by Yaowuxue changshi 藥物學常識 [Common Sense Pharmacology]. 37 folding leaves. Final leaves wormed. • Erke jiangyi 兒科講義 [Lectures on Pediatric Medicine]. By You Xuezhou 尤學周. 92 folding leaves. • Fukexue jiangyi 婦科學講義 [Lectures on Gynecology]. By Jin Shaoling 金少陵. [1], 152 folding leaves. Preface dated Minguo 31 (1942). • Neijingxue jiangyi 內經學講義 [Lectures on the Inner Canon]. By Jin Shaoling 今少陵. 69, 20, [2] folding leaves. Postscript dated Minguo 30 (1941). Divided into two years of instruction. Very good copies. Light worming, foxing, and staining appear throughout but rarely affect reading. Lightly annotated throughout in red and black. Blue collector's seals 國華 and 國華藏書 appear at the beginning of volumes. ❧ 裘沛然 et al. (eds.), 杏苑鶴鳴：上海新中國醫學院校史 (上海中醫藥大學出版社, 2000), esp. pp. 58-67.

Title: Cyclopaedia: or, an universal dictionary of arts and sciences:
Author: Chambers, Ephraim (~1680-1740).
Seller: Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio (United States)
Condition: Text, very good; boards, acceptable
Description: London: printed for D. Midwinter, [etc., including 16 additional firms], 1738. The second edition, corrected and amended; with some additions. Text, very good; boards, acceptable. Two volumes folio (420 x 280 mm), continuously signed. Titlepages in red and black. Folded engraved frontispiece and 21 engraved plates, eight of them folding. In contemporary speckled calf over boards, double ruled in gilt, spine in seven compartments, title labels missing, volume numbers applied directly in gold, and gilt tool stamped in remaining compartments. Red speckled edges. Binding scuffed and abraded in places, revealing wood substrate; worn at corners, edges, and at spine ends, joints split, boards held on with later adhesive strips applied to hinges. Frontispiece partially split along fold, with some loss. Text block otherwise strong and entire, with plates clean and intact. Reference ESTC T136232, etc. EXTRA SHIPPING CHARGES WILL APPLY. The first English encyclopedia, and an undertaking as massive and comprehensive as its subtitle might suggest. The great French Encyclopédie edited by Diderot and d'Alembert originated in a proposal to translate this second edition of Chambers. Indeed, the second edition, published ten years after the first, is copiously enlarged from its original printing, "retouched," Chambers writes in a preface, "and amended in a thousand places." Chambers appears to have been largely self-taught, having apprenticed at a young age to a globe-maker and bookseller. That the Cyclopaedia was the work of a single clerk (albeit one who was ultimately elected to the Royal Society) rather than a committee of doctors makes its scope, detail, and accuracy all the more awesome. The entertainment value of the Cyclopaedia should not be ignored: it has taken us several hours to write this short description, having gotten quite lost in reading the fascinating and lucid articles on, for example, paper and type (a Caslon specimen sheet folds out), on Spinozism, on optics, the Nimethulehites, or on enthusiasm ("a poetic or prophetic rage, or fury, which transports the mind, and raises the imagination, and makes it conceive and express things extraordinary, and surprizing.

Title: Living My Life
Author: [ANARCHISM] GOLDMAN, Emma
Seller: Lorne Bair Rare Books (United States)
Description: New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1931. First Edition. First Printing. Two large octavo volumes (24.5cm); pale blue cloth, with titles stamped in navy blue on spines and front covers; charcoal gray topstains; dustjackets; xi,[3],4-503,[1]; [viii],[504]-993,xvipp; illus. Spines and upper board edges gently sunned, light wear to spine ends, upper board corners on Vol.1 gently tapped (though still sharp), with two small stains to lower corner of textblock on same, and a few faint, tiny stains to right edge of textblock on Vol.2; contemporary ink ownership signature of Gertrude Edelstein on the rear pastedown of each volume; Very Good+, lacking the dustjackets. First edition of Goldman's monumental autobiography, an undisputed high-spot of women's writing and one of a few truly important 20th-century radical memoirs. Goldman was reputedly furious with Knopf for issuing the book in two volumes at the height of an economic depression, and considered the publication price of $7.50 to be exorbitant. The book indeed sold poorly, despite strong reviews, and has never been common.

Seller: Lorne Bair Rare Books (United States)
Description: Trenton: Privately Published, 1939. First Edition. Octavo. Gilt-decorated cloth (hardcover); 162,(2)pp. Stamped "Complimentary Copy," with presentation inscription from the author to a Samuel D. Lenox, dated November 28, 1939. Title page foxed, with scattered toning to contents; light external wear and soil; Very Good. An uncommon first-hand account by a self-professed victim of legal treachery. Mrs. Vaughn recounts her adventures with the New Jersey civil court system following the death of her husband and the challenging of the will by his children. In her epilogue, Vaughn concludes, "I wish to remind the reader that all my trouble came as the result of lawyers, for believing that they are supposed to advise one in the best way, I foolilshly relied upon them." Based on the author's somewhat obsessive tone and the trial transcripts recorded here, however, it is unclear whether it was Mrs. Vaughn, or the lawyers she hired, who had the stronger grievance. The inscribee was the principal of the prominent Trenton law firm Lenox, Giordano, Devlin, Delehey & Socey (a firm apparently not involved in any of Mrs. Vaughn's various civil actions).
