Title: La Femme ou les Six Amours
Author: VOÏART, [Anne Élisabeth] Élise (1786-1866)
Seller: Sanctuary Books (United States)
Condition: Good
Description: Paris: Ambroise Dupont, 1828. Second Edition. Hardcover. Good. Six volumes, 12mo (170 x 96mm). This is the revised and expanded Second Edition embellished with six engraved frontispieces depicting Vol. I: "Espère" (or "Hope" as a praying young woman) for "Amour filial"; Vol. 2: "Ma chère soeur je ne refuserai jamais" (Two embracing women reading book on lectern) for "Amour fraternel"; Vol. 3: "Ne m'oubliez pas" (Lovers in a garden) for "Amour"; Vol. 4: "Prions ensemble" (two women praying together) for "Amitié"; Vol. 5: "Allez objets maudit" (Woman throwing out "cursed" objects) for "Amour conjugal"; Vol. 6: "Elle écoute" (Woman and children fleeing) for "Amour maternel." Contemporary gilt-ruled French calf, marbled endpapers, spines gilt with olive morocco lettering labels and stamped on covers with gilt and crowned monogram "AA" for Augusta Amalia of Bavaria (1788-1851). It seems that Princess Augusta, the Duchess of Leuchtenberg, had been the earliest owner of this fine set of French volumes on the properties of feminine love as the set was certainly bound for her. Her gilt monogram on bindings can be located as "AE" after her marriage to Eugène Beauharnais in 1806. When Eugène died in 1824, the Princess likely took up her own initials and executed her bindings in the same style. The volumes are a sound union with only the expected foxing or fading, good with clear association to Bavarian royalty. Anne Élisabeth Élise Voïart, also known as "Dame Voïart," was a female French author who married well-to-do aristocrat and "Man of Letters" Jacques-Phillippe Voïart and became involved his esteemed literary circles. Surrounded by a new deeply moralized philosophy, Dame Voïart wrote this collection of ethical tales for an audience of young ladies to instruct them in the six forms of sanctified love which she classified as: filial, fraternal, conjugal, maternal, the bond of true friendship and the bond of lovers. Dame Voïart believed educating women in these proper sentiments would bring about the most heroic and virtuous of romances. Placed among a distinguished literary milieu, this work earned her the Prix Montoyon in 1828. By the monogrammed binding made for her, Princess Augusta of Bavaria owned this book after 1828 when her daughter, Augusta Amélie, aged 16, was about to be married to Pedro I of Brazil. This very copy could have served the young princess in schooling her in the noble ways of becoming a good wife and mother.

Title: Genetics and the Clinician
Author: Ride, Lindsay
Seller: Biomed Rare Books LLC, ABAA, ILAB (United States)
Description: Bristol: John Wright & Sons Ltd., 1938. First edition. EARLY TEXT ON MEDICAL GENETICS: AN ATTEMPT TO EDUCATE THE MAJORITY OF IGNORANT PHYSICIANS. 10 1/2 inches tall hardcover, green cloth binding, title to cover and gilt title to spine, xiii, 146 pp, illustrations, binding tight, small light spot top of front cover, light foxing to endpapers, text unmarked, very good in custom archival mylar cover. FROM CHAPTER 1--THE PRESENT POSITON: "At the present there are a few far-sighted medical men who are convinced of the importance of the relation of genetics to medicine; there are some who are mildly sceptical of its value, but who are open to conviction; but by far and away the vast majority of medical men have no conscious thought on the matter at all." BRIGADIER SIR LINDSAY TASMAN RIDE (1898 – 1977) was an Australian physiologist, soldier, vice chancellor of the University of Hong Kong, and Chairman of the Anthopological Physiology Committee, International Federation of Eugenic Organisations. On 14 February 1917, Ride enlisted in the AIF. Early in 1918, he joined the 38th Battalion on the Western Front. He was twice wounded, once seriously. Subsequently, on 24 April 1919, he was 'invalided out' of the army. Ride was elected Victorian Rhodes scholar for 1922. He worked at Guy's Hospital and qualified as a member of the Royal College of Surgeons, as well as a licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians, London. Perhaps because of his natural ability for medical research, he was appointed professor of physiology at the University of Hong Kong in 1928. In 1938, he wrote Genetics and the Clinician (offered here). Ride became a POW and was held in the prison established by the Japanese at the Sham Shui Po Barracks after Hong Kong capitulated on Christmas Day 1941. He escaped from Japanese-occupied Hong Kong on 9 January 1942. On 9 January 1942, with the help of Hong Kong guerilla forces, he managed to escape to unoccupied Chungking, a feat for which he was appointed O.B.E. in 1942. While a colonel in the Indian Army, Ride formed and commanded the British Army Aid Group, headquartered in Guilin, Guangxi. This MI9 unit provided help, medical and otherwise, to POW escapees from Hong Kong while gathering intelligence. Due to his outstanding leadership after escaping, 'The Smiling Tiger' as he was nicknamed, was elevated to C.B.E. in 1944. From the formation in 1949 of the Royal Hong Kong Defence Force Ride was appointed commandant, first with the rank of Colonel, subsequently promoted to the rank of Brigadier in 1956. Ride was appointed vice-chancellor to a dilapidated, post-war University of Hong Kong in April 1949. 22 new buildings were erected and student numbers increased threefold in the 15 years after his appointment. His HKU papers are available at the University of Hong Kong Archives.
