Description
Edinburgh, 1820. Abercrombie, John (1780-1844). Autograph letter signed, dated Edinburgh, 20th November 1820, to Dr. Thomas H. Burder (1789-1843). 4pp., including integral address leaf. 251 x 202 mm. Creased where previously folded, light wear along a few folds, light soiling, but very good, preserving Abercrombie's wax seal. Excellent long letter congratulating Burder on the recovery of his health after a four-year illness. Abercrombie was the author of the classic "Pathological and Practical Researches on Diseases of the Brain and the Spinal Cord" (1828; G-M 2285.2), as well as the extremely popular "Inquiries Concerning the Intellectual Powers" (1830). Burder, Abercrombie's correspondent, was a London physician who "suffered from almost constant ill-health" (DNB); his article on "Headache," contributed to the "Cyclopedia of Practical Medicine," was based largely on his own experience. .

Description
NY: Henry Holt, 1924. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. 12 mo, original buckram in dustjacket, illustrated with 11 photographs, 173p. Includes, pp 31- 44, "The Return of Buck Gavin: The Tragedy of a Mountain Outlaw" by Thomas Wolfe, making it his first published appearance in book form (preceded by "The Crisis in Industry", an undergraduate pamphlet printed in 1919). "Gavin" was one of three one-act plays comprising the first dramatic program of Professor Koch's Carolina Playmakers. Two performances were given in the Chapel Hill High School auditorium, on March 14 and 15, 1919. Wolfe, who had never acted before, played the title role. Five years later Koch asked Wolfe permission to include "Gavin" in this collection. Wolfe tried to refuse, telling the editor. "I am desperately afraid to have that one-act play published. I was so young, so raw, so green...I ...wrote that play in one sitting on a rainy October afternoon when seventeen or eighteen, and I knew nothing of theater at that time." However, reluctant to hurt his old teacher's feeling he gave way. In 1933, after literary success, he forbade further productions. Fine copy in a slightly soiled and lightly chipped dj. Rubber stamp raises the printed publication price of $1.75 to $2.00 on the front panel.
