Description
Paris: Chez Pierre Franç. Didot le Jeune, 1767. FIRST EDITION. Original leather with gilt spine and marbled paste downs; light foxing throughout, but overall a clean, good copy.  . First edition. Considered one of the most important works in the history of cell theory, Bordeu “described connective tissue - under the name mucous tissue - showing its role in exchanges, the phenomena of nutrition, and the mechanical equilibrium of organs and tissues” (DSB, II, p. 301). This work followed his earlier Recherches sur les maladies chroniques (1775) in which he “conceived the idea of internal secretion by his hypothesis that every organ, tissue, and cell discharges into the blood products which influence other parts of the body” (G&M, 1117). Born into a family of French doctors, Bordeu (1722-1776) worked at the Royal Infirmary at Versailles, was the physician to the Countess du Barry, and close friend of Diderot. He was a representative for “vitalism,” a philosophy of living distinct from chemical and physical forces, advancing a concept of sensibility as something distinct both from mechanical forces and from conscious mind or soul. Bordeu played a major role in eighteenth century clinical medicine and in the history of medical theories.

Description
[Paris], 1871. Good. Each issue seems to have consisted of a single broadsheet with text in six columns on both sides. 48 x 63 cm. when unfolded. Six fold lines (one vertical and five horizontal) where folded for later compact storage. Minor splitting along some folds with modest loss of paper (and a little text) where a couple of the fold lines intersect. This newspaper was founded with encouragement from Victor Hugo by his sons Charles and Francois-Victor (and two or three other individuals) in 1869. These issues contain almost no advertising. We did not notice anything in these issues identified as written by Victor Hugo.

Description
Dayton, Nevada: Tree By the River Publishing, 1990. Signed Copy. Soft Cover. Very Good. 6x0x9. Signed by author. Signed by author on title page without inscription. Minor wear to corners. 1990 Soft Cover. 197 pp. Though Americans usually associate Mark Twain with Tom Sawyer and the Mississippi River, Samuel Clemens actually began his serious writing careers as a reporter for the Territorial Enterprise at Virginia City, Nevada in 1862. Contrary to Clemens' well told story about his curious pen name, "Mark Twain" had nothing to do with his life on the river, and more to do with his drinking habits while in Virginia City. Having lost his high paying job as a river boat pilot on the Mississippi due to the outbreak of the Civil War, in 1861 Clemens tags along with his brother Orion to Nevada Territory. For a year Clemens prospects at several mining camps trying to strike it rich. He fails and goes broke at Aurora, Nevada. Having contributed a series of humorous letters to the Enterprise, editor Joe Goodman offers Clemens a reporting post in the then booming silver mining town of Virginia City. It is Clemens' first full time paying writing job. Four months later Clemens is writing as Mark Twain.--rear cover
