Hardcover. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book: A Manual of Surgery: Founded Upon the Principles and Practice Lately Taught by Sir Astley Cooper and Joseph Henry Green, edited by Thomas Castle, synthesizes influential surgical techniques and teachings from Cooper and Green, two pioneering British surgeons of the 19th century. Known for advancing the understanding of anatomy, pathology, and innovative surgical practices, Cooper's expertise in vascular surgery and Green's philosophical approach to medical science informed this manual. Castle organized and contextualized their methods, making the work a valuable resource for medical students and surgeons. This manual emphasizes practical, evidence-based techniques foundational to modern surgical practices. About The Author: Sir Astley Paston Cooper (17681841) was a British surgeon and anatomist renowned for advances in otology, vascular surgery, and the pathology of mammary glands, testicles, and hernia. Educated under Henry Cline and influenced by John Hunter, he became a surgeon at Guy's Hospital. In 1801, Cooper was awarded the prestigious Copley Medal for his contributions to medical science. Joseph Henry Green (17911863) was an English surgeon and literary executor of poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Trained under his uncle Henry Cline at St. Thomas's Hospital, he also pursued philosophical studies in Berlin, shaping his intellectual career. Thomas Castle (8051837) was an English botanical and medical writer from Kent. A Guy's Hospital student and Linnean Society fellow, he published works on pharmacology, surgery, and botany, including Medical Botany and Essay on Poisons. Castle committed suicide in 1837.

Soft cover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. ASTLEY, Thomas; CHILD, G. Dress of the Grandees and of the King?s Wives of Whidah. London, in A New General Collection of Voyages and Travels, vol. II, 1745. Copper engraving, plate 185 (no. 105), vol. 2, p. 396. Image area c. 230 × 150 mm (sheet larger, untrimmed). Engraved by G. Child after contemporary drawings.

In good original condition, on laid paper, with light toning and scattered foxing, a short marginal split at left, and faint offset from the facing text. Plate mark visible. Very good.  Part of a series of engravings showing early European ethnographic understanding of the Kingdom of Whydah (Ouidah, present-day Benin), a major Atlantic trading and slaving port in the early eighteenth century.

Soft cover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. ASTLEY, Thomas; CHILD, G: Punishment of one of ye King of Whidah's Wives & her Gallant. London, in A New General Collection of Voyages and Travels, vol. II, 1745-47 (plate dated "Plate 171, No. 98, Vol. 2, p. 374"). Copper engraving. Image area c. 220 × 140 mm (sheet larger, untrimmed). Engraved by G. Child. Broad sheet with deckle edges, central plate mark visible. Light overall toning and scattered foxing; small marginal chips and edge tears (not affecting image); faint offset from facing text on verso. Good, honest survival. Dramatic ceremonial scene depicting the execution by burning of one of the wives of the King of Whydah and her alleged lover, carried out before a massed assembly of armed retainers and onlookers. The composition shows the condemned bound to a stake amid rising smoke, flanked by soldiers with spears and swords, while the crowd forms a formal semicircle, underscoring the public, ritualised nature of royal justice as understood by European observers. The plate derives from early eighteenth-century travel narratives circulating through the Dutch and English trading factories on the Slave Coast, and was popularised in Astley's vast compendium, which became the standard English-language visual sourcebook for Africa, Asia, and the Americas in the mid-Georgian period.
