12 mo. (7 x 4 1/2 inches) Glasgow, 1700. First Edition. (viii) 112 pages. Good condition: early nineteenth century half calf, marbled boards, considerable wear to hinges (front hinge split, but holding), title in gilt on spine.Walter Herries (or Harris) was a pamphleteer who participated in the first Darien "adventure." Upon his return to England, he was offered inducements by English politicians to write a book that would ruin the reputation of the members of the Darien Company. His book was "Declared by a royal proclamation to be a 'false, scandalous, and traitorous libel'."
This book, attributed to Ridpath, is an answer to Herries's book, and an attack on English politicians. Ridpath was a Scottish journalist who wrote and supported Whig interests against the Tories.

This book is bound with leather covers and a cloth spine. There is a label on the front cover which is not readable. New endsheets have been added at some point in the book's long history, but the original endsheets and covers are present. There is a former owner's inscription on the original front endsheet. Pages are intact and the binding is tight. The book contains black & white drawings of muscles, bones, and bandages. There is an index for medicines and an extensive table of contents of body parts, diseases, syndromes, and treatments. Printed in the year 1846, the book itself is, in essence, a time capsule that portrays how medicine was practiced aboard an early nineteenth century sailing ship. This will make a wonderful addition to the library of the collector of medical memorabilia.

Sttasbourg & Paris: Paris : F.G. Levrault, 1816-1829.. 29 x 20 cm. Handcolored stipple engravings printed in colors. Printed on rag wove paper. OCLC Number:348868. Fine condition. Professeur au Jardin du roi, puis directeur du Muséum, Antoine-Laurent de Jussieu (1748-1836) est issu d’une lignée de cinq naturalistes lyonnais et parisiens. Célèbre pour son approche systématique, il publie un ouvrage majeur en 1789 : Genera plantarum. Jussieu propose au monde savant une classification botanique, fruit de dix-sept années de recherches familiales. Dans ce recueil, il distribue les quelque 20 000 plantes alors connues en 1 754 genres, selon le principe d’une hiérarchie de caractères qui organise le système des végétaux. Sa méthode dite « naturelle » s’oppose au système de Linné, appuyé sur la description visible. C’est un ordre nouveau, qui inspire Cuvier et Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire pour le règne animal. Son œuvre demeure fondamentale pour l’histoire des sciences et des idées.…
