Title: Essays relating to agriculture and rural affairs; in two parts, illustrated with copperplates. By a farmer
Author: [ANDERSON, James]
Seller: Rootenberg Rare Books & Manuscripts (United States)
Description: Edinburgh: T. Cadell and William Creech; Bell & Bradfute, 1796. FIRST THREE EDITIONS. Volume I contains half-title, 1 page publisher's advertisement, separate title for Essay VI, and 3 folding engraved plates; Volume II contains 2 title pages, advertisement from publisher (explaining why there are 2 title pages), separate half-title to Essay VI, and 18 engraved plates; Volume III is complete with the half-title and errata. Contemporary calf, worn; interiors excellent. From the library of Robert H. Elliot, with his bookplates. First three editions, including the very scarce second volume which includes the "Additions" to the six essays contained in the first printing of 1775 as well as the second part, plus the additional essays making up Volume III, written "at the request of the President of the Board of Agriculture." The essays which make up the first volume include treatment of enclosures and fencing, draining bogs and swampy ground, on leveling ridges, on the proper method of sowing grass seeds, on hay-making, and a lengthy entitled "Miscellaneous disquisitions, doubts and queries relating to agriculture." This essay was supplemented in the 1777 printing by a treatise on quick-lime. The third volume contains three essays, the first "On the obstacles to the advancement of agriculture in England, and the means of removing them;" the second "On waste lands, and the means of their improvement;" and the third "Hints on the economical consumption of the produce of a farm." The lovely engraved illustrations in Volume II identify a number of different grasses. As one might tell from the titles and from reading just a bit of the essays, the author was a practical man whose writings are clearly the results of his experience. Anderson (1739-1808) published a number of essays on agriculture, though was best known for his work on corn laws. He was quite familiar with newer technology, and indeed invented a number of agricultural improvements, most famously the "Scotch plough" for use on heavy soils. Most of his publications appeared in contemporary journals, where he detailed what he termed works "calculated to desseminate useful knowledge among all ranks of people at a small expense. Anderson was born near Edinburgh, where he took over a family farm at age 15. According to Fussell: "Anderson was in the most precise sense a miscellaneous writer . . . much of his contribution was severely practi al as might be expected from a man of his experience . . . He turned to the farmer asnd saw him isolated and ill informed, so he decided to publish ‘a concise view of all those subjects that ought to demand the farmer's attention'. His work is doubtfully concise, but is certainly comprehensive." DNB, I, p. 381; Fussell, More Old English Farming Books, pp. 104-06; Goldsmith, I, 11233; McDonald, Agricultural Writers, 1200-1800, pp. 214-15.

Title: Conservative perineal prostatectomy. Part first; part second. In Stereo-Clinic [Section XII] by Howard A. Kelly
Author: YOUNG, Hugh H.; [KELLY, Howard A.]
Seller: Rootenberg Rare Books & Manuscripts (United States)
Description: Troy, NY: Southworth Company, 1910. FIRST EDITION. With 44 mounted photographs (as stereo cards). Preserved in the publisher’s slipcase (as issued). Stamp of Mercy Hospital, Durango, Colorado. First edition of each part. In an earlier work from 1905, the father of modern urology, Hugh Hampton Young (1870-1945), described his outcomes with perineal prostatectomy for both benign and malignant cancer. The major insights from this earlier work include: – prostate cancer occurs in approximately 10% of cases of benign prostatic enlargement – marked induration in any man greater than 50 years of age should be considered suspicious for cancer – advocating frozen analysis of prostatic tissue if the diagnosis of cancer is uncertain – the definition of pathways of local (along the ejaculatory ducts, between the prostate and seminal vesicles) and metastatic spread (out through the lymphatics near the trigone of the bladder to the pelvic lymph nodes and osseous sites) – radical prostatectomy (removal of the prostate, vasa and seminal vesicles) as the only means of cure for men with prostate cancer This work is a step-by-step description of a case Young was treating, including a discussion of the symptoms and the surgery. The instruments required are illustrated in photographs; also illustrated is the position of the patient during surgery as well as each and every cut, stitch, and the set-up of the bed for post-operation continuous irrigation. It is as if the reader was actually in the operating room. Young “devised several new surgical procedures for treating genito-urinary diseases; did the first perineal prostatectomy which soon replaced the more dangerous suprapubic approach, and performed the first radical operation on a cancerous prostate gland. Young trained many of the leading urologists of his time” (Dictionary of American Medical Biography, 2:832-833). Baltimore photographer Anthony Murray took the photographs that were used in Kelly’s ambitious Stereo-Clinic series that was designed to provide surgeons with a combination of high quality, close-up photographic images accompanied by a description of each step in a specific operation.
