First Edition. An adventurer in both the physical and intellectual senses of the word, Heinrich Lienhard was born in Switzerland in 1822 and immigrated to America in 1843. Published here for the first time in either the original German or in English translation, this initial section of LienhardÂ's enormous manuscript autobiography (more than half a million words) covers the years after his birth through his first several years in America. LienhardÂ's account of his early years consists of four segments: his early years and boyhood in the Swiss canton of Glarus, 1822Â1843; his journey to America, August-November 1843; his two and a half years in Highland, Illinois; and his life in the upper Mississippi Valley. This section ends in April 1846, when Lienhard began the arduous and dangerous journey from St. Louis to Captain John SutterÂ's fort at New Helvetia, California. Lienhard has provided an unusually full account of his early life. The book contains fifty-one chapters, with each chapter featuring one or more life-shaping incidents for this pioneer who would successfully cross the Rocky Mountains at the same time the Donner party, taking a different and more obvious route, perished. A few of the chapter titles demonstrate both the flavor and the thoroughness of this autobiography: "FatherÂ's Thoughtless Words-Abuse from Brother Peter and Undeserved Punishment by Father"; "An Appropriate Warning to Father-How Brother Peter Treated Me Deceitfully and Treacherously-How Apprentices Are Treated"; "Becoming More or Less American"; and "Short Stay at SchneiderÂ's-Going to MolletÂ's Where Three Times Daily for a Period of Nine Weeks I Am Fed Bad Cornbread, Oversalted Bacon, and Wheat Slop." An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered.

Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No Dust Jacket, As Issued. THE VICTORIAN BODY - ANATOMY, EXERCISE, HYGIENE, AND TEMPERANCE An illustrated nineteenth-century physiology textbook presenting the human body not simply as anatomy, but as something whose health could be improved through exercise, diet, cleanliness, and personal habits. Written by physician Joseph C. Hutchison for schools and general readers, the volume reflects the growing place of physiology and hygiene in American education during the later nineteenth century. VICTORIAN HEALTH EDUCATION. Hutchison moves systematically through the body's structure and functions, with chapters devoted to the skeleton, muscles, digestion, circulation, respiration, nervous system, senses, and related subjects. Numerous illustrations translate anatomical concepts for the student, ranging from skeletal and dental anatomy to demonstrations of physical exercise. The work had a substantial educational life: earlier editions appeared during the 1870s, and the 1884 edition is independently recorded by OCLC. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Publisher's green cloth decorated in black with geometric and ornamental patterns, front cover titled in black, spine lettered in gilt. Publisher's advertisements on the endpapers. Octavo, approximately 7.5 inches tall. 276 pages, including index, followed by a separately paginated 15-page supplement, "Supplement to Hutchison's Physiology and Hygiene: Stimulants and Narcotics." Illustrated throughout with anatomical and instructional engravings, with a color anatomical frontispiece, The Viscera in Position. Later edition, copyright 1875. TEMPERANCE IN THE 1880s CLASSROOM. This copy retains the 15-page supplement on stimulants and narcotics, extending the conventional anatomical text into contemporary instruction concerning alcohol and other substances. The supplement begins with alcohol and its history and chemistry before addressing its physiological consequences and belongs to the increasingly important temperance component of late nineteenth-century school health instruction. CONDITION: Vey Good. The bindings are tight and square. Text is clean; light, even age-toning. Moderate shelf handling wear. Period pencil notation and marks to the front advertising leaf. A sound, complete working copy. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - TEACHING THE BODY. By the late nineteenth century, physiology and hygiene had become increasingly important components of American education, bringing basic anatomical and medical knowledge into the classroom. Hutchison's Treatise on Physiology and Hygiene reflects this movement, combining conventional instruction in the structure and functions of the human body with practical guidance concerning exercise, diet, cleanliness, and personal health. THE BODY EXPLAINED. The illustrations are particularly revealing of the period's approach to health education. Anatomical diagrams appear alongside images demonstrating physical exercises, presenting the body as something students could both understand scientifically and improve through disciplined habits. TEMPERANCE IN THE 1880s. The separately paginated supplement on Stimulants and Narcotics adds another distinctly nineteenth-century dimension. Its discussion of alcohol places the volume within the growing temperance influence on American health education, when instruction concerning intoxicants was increasingly incorporated into school physiology curricula. SUBJECTS: Human Anatomy, Physiology, Hygiene, Physical Education, Exercise, Dentistry, Alcohol, Stimulants and Narcotics, Victorian Education, Nineteenth-Century Medicine, Medical History, Physiology, Health Education, Textbooks, Temperance Literature.…

Zustand: Good. THE FIRST ILLUSTRATIONS OF SLEEPY HOLLOW - DARLEY'S COMPLETE 1849 SERIES. Issued to members of the American Art-Union in 1849, this large-format edition pairs Washington Irving's Legend of Sleepy Hollow with six plates by Felix O. C. Darley. Commissioned by the Art-Union, Darley's designs were the first illustrations made for Irving's celebrated tale and helped establish its enduring visual vocabulary of Ichabod Crane, Katrina Van Tassel, and the Headless Horseman. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: DESIGNED AND ETCHED BY DARLEY-COMPLETE WITH ALL SIX PLATES. Original printed wrappers; Oblong folio, approximately 15 by 12.5 inches. 16 pages of text with six full-page plates on stiff stock. The title describes the illustrations as designed and etched by Darley; institutional descriptions identify the plates as lithographs, or etching on stone, printed by Sarony & Major. Text printed by John F. Trow. Complete with all six plates. CONDITION: SURVIVING IN THE ORIGINAL WRAPPERS. Wrappers mildly soiled and age-toned with edge wear, creasing, small chips and losses, particularly along the spine and corners. Contents show scattered foxing and spotting, varying from leaf to leaf and more pronounced on some plates. Edge and corner wear present. Light damp-stain on upper edge of interior pages. Plates remain clear and complete. A sound example of this vulnerable large-format publication. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE / SUBJECT SIGNIFICANCE: DARLEY DEFINES SLEEPY HOLLOW. Darley's 1849 designs are recognized as the first illustrations of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The six scenes follow Ichabod from the schoolroom and his courtship of Katrina through his encounter and flight from the Headless Horseman, establishing imagery that became closely associated with Irving's story. ART FOR THE AMERICAN PUBLIC. The series was commissioned by the American Art-Union and distributed as a supplement to its subscribers in 1849. The organization sought to broaden access to American art through exhibitions and the distribution of prints and illustrated publications to its members. SUBJECTS: Washington Irving, Felix O. C.

I was advised not to stray far from my hotel after dark, and I found it good advice, for when I did so, to a very limited extent, I noticed I was followed, watched, and dodged from one shop window to another by more than one suspicious-looking man - a veritable-looking 'rough' of the London type." - page 86.
