Title: Ragioni . . . contra l'uso del salasso
Author: Rotario, Sebastiano
Seller: Jeremy Norman & Co., Inc. (United States)
Description: Verona: per gli Fratelli Merli, 1699. Rotario, Sebastiano (1667-1742). Ragioni . . . contra l'uso del salasso . . . 4to. 8, 168, 10pp. Verona: per gli Fratelli Merli, 1699. 210 x 161 mm. Limp boards ca. 1699, a bit soiled and worn. Faint dampstains in outer margins of several leaves, but very good. First Edition. Our copy includes the separately paginated Lettera di Sebastiano Rotario . . . scritta all'illustri Sig. N. N. traduttore del libro francese intitolato Orophile en desordre . . . , not present in all copies. Rotario wrote his treatise against the use of bloodletting as a rebuttal to Stefani Piccoli's Medicina ventilate (1695), which argued for the practice. Included at the end is Rotario's letter to the anonymous Italian translator of Orophile en desordre (1686), another anti-bloodletting treatise originally published in French in 1686. Rotario was the author of numerous medical works, but he is best known today for his letter of 20 November 1716 to Antonio Vallisnieri concerning the many fossilized marine animals found on Monte Bolca in the Italian Alps; this letter inspired Vallisnieri to write his Dei corpi marini (1721), in which he supported Fracastoro's argument that the fossil shells found on this site were there because the land had once been under the ocean (Luzzini, p. 78). Luzzini, "Flood conceptions in Vallisneri's thought," in Kölbl-Ebert, ed., Geology and Religion: A History of Harmony and Hostility, pp. 77-81. .

Title: TRUTH'S ADVOCATE AND MONTHLY ANTI-JACKSON EXPOSITOR. BY AN ASSOCIATION OF INDIVIDUALS
Author: [Association of Individuals, An] [Hammond, Charles (editor)]
Seller: David M. Lesser, Fine Antiquarian Books LLC (United States)
Description: Cincinnati: Lodge, L'Hommedieu, and Hammond, Printers, 1828. [4], 400 pp. The ten issues, from January through October 1828, are the entire output of this engaging monthly. Contemporary cloth-backed boards [front hinge detaching] with gilt-lettered black morocco spine label. The first four pages are the general title and an Index. Light scattered foxing and minor wear, old library stamp on front pastedown. Contemporary ownership signature, 'D.C. Wallace.' Very Good, except as noted. The Expositor opposes the "strongly repulsive... COMBINATION [italics in original] organized to prostrate the Administration" of J.Q. Adams. The opposition is "a monstrosity... an alarming destitution of the moral sense." Calhoun is an "arch-intriguer." Jackson is "a man of very slender capacity, of no learning and of no experience in public affairs," who has thrust himself forward "by the mere force of arrogant pretension." Each issue examines ongoing political activities, Jackson's tyrannical character, and his atrocious conduct: his "domestic relations", highlighting his bigamous marriage to poor Rachel; his dictatorial and arbitrary administration of New Orleans; his aptitude for and enjoyment of violence and dueling; his outrageous conduct of military affairs in Florida. According to Ernie Wessen, this book "had the distinction of being burnt at the public whipping-post, by irate Jacksonians, in Knoxville, Tennessee. Although the work is said to have lost friends, because of the erudite Hammond's bitter attacks upon Jackson; a part of which were believed to have been directed against Mrs. Jackson; it is a reliable source on Jackson's relations with Burr, and covers in considerable detail Jackson's army career; the Florida War, etc." Wise & Cronin 498. Sabin 97272 ("Planned from the beginning to be continued for ten months only"). 96 Midland Notes 502. Not in Miles, Lomazow, Mott, American Imprints. Servies 1376.
