That tradition is vividly portrayed in Gardens of Georgia, commissioned by the Garden Club of Georgia, Inc., to commemorate its sixtieth anniversary and to celebrate the heritage and beauty of Georgia's gardens.As noted by Georgia founder James Oglethorpe in 1732, Georgia has a happy climate. From the broad-shouldered mountains of the Blue Ridge, through the red clay of the rolling piedmont, across the sprawling piney coastal plain, and on to the subtropical islands on the Atlantic, Georgia is blessed with four regions of gardening opportunities, distinctly defined by differences in elevation, climate, soil, and natural vegetation.Writer William Mitchell and photographer Richard Moore have portrayed the wonders of gardens historic and contemporary, public and private, and urban, suburban, and rural from each of these regions. Whether illustrating overall gardenscapes or capturing intimate vignettes and individual blossoms, Richard Moore's photographs have a depth of color and clarity of detail that immerse the reader into a world of delightful splendor. The text by Willaim Mitchell not only describes the settings as they are today, but also spins a rich background of history in the context of the botanical Eden observed by early explorers.The richest legacy of each generation is to preserve and protect an always vulnerable natural environment and help nature bring forth its green and glowing cycles of rebirth. Gardens of Georgia celebrates that legacy, sharing the ongoing dream of paradise--a new Eden--whether it is in a grand formal garden from an earlier era or a small plot of perennials in a Georgia yard. ; FINE/FINE.

Engraved in copperplate, the document reads (with manuscript parts in square brackets): 'To the Right Honble. the Secretary at War | Sir | We have Examined Mr. [William Williams] and find him qualified to serve as Surgeon [dash] to any [Regiment] in His Majesty's Service | We are | Sir | Your Most Obedt.

Five of the nine have entries in the Oxford DNB: Sir Charles Blicke (1745-1815); Henry Cline (1750-1837); Sir James Earle (1755-1817); Sir Everard Home (1756-1832); Sir William Blizard (c.1744-1835). The other four signatories are: George Chandler (of Stamford Street and a Governor in 1812); Sir David Dundas (1749-1826) (not yet knighted, 'Serjeant Surgeon to his Majesty, Richmond', and a Governor in 1812); Thompson Forster (d.1830), Senior Surgeon to Guy's Hospital (of Southampton Street, Bloomsbury, and Master in 1812); Charles Hawkins (of Sloane Street, Chelsea, and a Governor in 1812). From the distinguished autograph collection of the psychiatrist Richard Alfred Hunter (1923-1981), whose collection of 7000 works relating to psychiatry is now in Cambridge University Library. Hunter and his mother Ida Macalpine had a particular interest in the illness of King George III, and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' (1969) suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of# George III'.

An exceptional early 19th-century medical diploma issued by the Royal College of Surgeons of England, London, dated August 8, 1825, certifying that Thomas Beales had been examined by the Court of Examiners and found qualified to practice the art and science of surgery. The certificate features a finely engraved coat of arms of the College at the top, flanked by classical figures representing the healing arts and bearing the Latin motto "Quae prosunt omnibus artes" ("The arts which benefit all"). The document is completed in elegant period manuscript and bears the original paper wafer seal of the College affixed at lower left. The diploma carries the signatures of several of the most important surgeons of the era, including John Abernethy, one of the most celebrated surgical teachers of the early nineteenth century and a pioneering figure in British surgical education. Additional signatures include Anthony Carlisle, noted anatomist and surgeon, and William Lynn, who served as President of the College at the time. Such autographs from leading figures in British medicine significantly enhance the historical interest of the document. Stretched over thin wood frame measuring 12 in. x 17.5 in. In Good condition. The sheet displays scattered foxing and age toning consistent with early 19th-century paper. Minor edge wear and light staining visible, with the original wafer seal intact. The engraving and manuscript text remain clear and attractive. Shelved at Rockville Room J (MW Shelf). The Royal College of Surgeons, founded in 1800, was the principal authority governing surgical practice in Britain.
