First Edition. First Printing. Octavo (22cm.); publisher's brown printed staplebound card wrappers; 48pp.; photographic illus. throughout. Tiny faint dampstain to upper cover, spine edge just a hint faded, red printed paper cancel ("Aviator's Baby" covering "Limberg's Baby") to upper cover partly separated from perished glue with tiny closed tear touching one letter, one signature neatly separated but present, else Very Good. Transcript for a mock trial in which the author, the lawyer Mary Bell Spencer, acts as the defense lawyer. Through the course of the trial Spencer convinces the jury that the baby "Charles A. Limberg" of "Hoaxwell, New Jersey," was not kidnapped and murdered, but, due to parental negligence, had wandered off into the woods and was eaten by skunks and other woodland critters. Despite Spencer's compelling argument, and the fact that she sent a copy of this pamphlet to all 150 members of the jury panel of the Hauptmann trial, the German immigrant criminal Richard Hauptmann would eventually be found guilty and executed for the kidnapping and murder of the child. (See Jim Fisher, The Lindbergh Case (1994), p. 274.).

[8], 20 pp.First and only edition of an important botanical work on Greek, Turkish and Armenian plants, which were here studied, classified and named for the first time. The work consists of 10 highly detailed, full-page engravings of these plants, with scientific descriptions of each of them, according to Linnaean taxonomy. The work is very rare on the market, as we have not been able to find another copy in sales records of the past 100 years.The plants included in this work had been collected by botanist Andreas von Gundelsheimer (1668-1715) during his research expedition to Greece, Turkey and Armenia in 1700 with Joseph Pitton de Tournefort (1656-1708). Gundelsheimer gathered hundreds of specimens during this trip and sent them to herbaria in Berlin and Munich, which is where naturalist Johann Christian Daniël von Schreber (1739-1810) must have found them. A number of these plants, such as the Campanula tridentata, had never been studied and classified before with Linnaeus' methods, so Schreber was the first to do so. Some of these plants are still known under the scientific name he gave them.With an inscription at the foot of the first page of the preface ("A _ _"), remnants of a bookplate on the front pastedown of the folder, the woodcut initial on the first page of the preface has been coloured in at a later date. The title-page is somewhat creased and browned, most leaves are slightly frayed along the edges and slightly foxed.

[2], [2 blank], [11], [1 blank]; 18, [6 blank] pp.Two journals kept by the Dutch Lieutenant Colonel Volkier Rudolph Bentinck (1738-1820), usually called Rudolph or sometimes Rudolphus, in the Dutch and British army, who had earlier fought alongside George Washington in the British army in America. They give an intimate and very personal view of daily life in the army, especially social life. It does show Bentinck inspecting fortifications (at least once climbing to the top) and mines in Maastricht (including the fort on "Montagne de St Pierre" [= Sint-Pietersberg]), Den Bosch (Bois-le-Duc), Bergen op Zoom, Namur (also an armaments foundry) and elsewhere. It shows his enthusiasm for Captain Schoester's collection of battle plans ("Il me montra une fort belle collection de plans des battailles des deux derniers gueres" and later "Je passai chez Monsr de Shoester le matin, pour en tirer encore quelques informations concernant ma collection de livres et plans militaires") and he later views fortification plans with Colonel Carel Diederik du Moulin (1727-1793), a well-known Dutch fortifications engineer.Rudolph Bentinck had served as a Lieutenant in the British Royal American Army from 1756 to 1762, during the Seven Years' War, often known in the United States as the French and Indian War, when he fought side by side with Colonel George Washington, the future first president of the United States. On his return he served as a Lieutenant Colonel in Jersey from 1769 to 1771 (also Guernsey according to the NNWB). The present journals fill part of a gap in his biography: that of 1771 begins in The Hague, where he took a Dutch commission for two years in July 1771 to inspect the fortifications in Venloo, Maastricht and Namur, but the 1774 journal shows he was in British service on Menorca by May 1774, when the journal begins with his departure (Bentinck, Echte stukken, 1784, notes his return from Menorca on 29 May 1775). He left British service in 1776 and returned to the Dutch army. He was granted an Overijsel knighthood as Heer van Schoonheeten in 1777 and made a Baron in 1819.Although neither these journals nor the earlier American one (formerly kept with this one and written in a similar hand) names its author, the events in the American journal clearly identify him as Lieutenant Rudolph Bentinck, who visited William Bentinck, 2nd Duke of Portland, on his way to America. In the present 1771 journal he sets off on 7 July 1771 with (Cornelis Pieter) Baron van Leiden, (Nicolaas Baron van Denike, Heer?) van Nieuwland, (Adolf Warner), Baron van Palland(t) tot Beerse (1745-1823) and "mon frere Diepenhein" [= Derk Bentinck van Diepenheim (1741-1813)], the reference to his brother confirming his identity as Volkier Rudolph Bentinck (1738-1820). They travelled mostly by coach.A contemporary manuscript note on the front wrapper reads "Journael zedert 1771 | en een van 1762", and Bentinck's American journal of 1756-1762 was formerly loosely inserted with the present journals of 1771 and 1774.In very good condition, with only the wrapper showing some wear and tear at the extremities. Two detailed and very personal journals of a Dutch Lieutenant Colonel in the Netherlands (1771) and the Mediterranean and Portugal (1774), interesting for its accounts of fortifications, mines and troops, but even more for the social life of officers and their relations with women, from princesses to servants.l For background information: V.R.

Leather. Zustand: Good. None (illustrator). First edition. A scarce edition of A Catalogue of Engraved British Portraits,from Egbert the Great to the present time by Henry Bromley. First edition. Henry Bromley was the pseudonym of Anthony Wilson (c1750 - c1814). He was an English writer on art and author of the Catalogue of Engraved Portraits. In 1793, stimulated by the increased demand for prints consequent on the publication of James Granger's Biographical History of England (1769), Wilson, under the name of Henry Bromley, published A Catalogue of Engraved British Portraits. He received assistance in the compilation from many leading antiquaries and virtuosi, including Sir William Musgrave, James Bindley, and Anthony Morris Storer. In the Catalogue Wilson aimed at furnishing a complete list of engraved British portraits, neglecting only those which could not be identified with their originals. He divided his list into historic periods, and subdivided it into groups according to the rank or calling of the persons portrayed. In a contemporary leather binding. Externally, sound but with some wear to extremities and boards with marginal bumping. Boards held by cords only. Internally, firmly bound. Bright and generally clean throughout with only the occasional spot and handling mark and slight foxing to endpapers. With institutional bookplate and label to front pastedown. Good. book.

Ad 1: [1], [3 blank], 145, [3 blank] pp.; [3], 10, [10], [5 blank] ll., both written primarily on the rectos. Ad 2: 198, [2 blank] pp.Manuscript, apparently by the author, of one of the first printed books on Dutch poisonous plants and one of the earliest works of the eminent botanist Friedrich Miquel, giving detailed descriptions and discussing the toxic properties of nearly 200 species: flowering plants, mushrooms, grasses and berries, including belladonna and some species of nightshade. It covers both indigenous species and foreign species grown in Dutch gardens and for most species gives the Latin, Dutch, French, English, German and sometimes other names, the Linnaean class, a physical description, locations and seasons, medicinal properties and a description of the symptoms of its poisoning. It is one of Miquel's earliest works, printed in 1836-1837, and was intended primarily for physicians and laymen. Though first published at Amsterdam in 1836 as De Noord-Nederlandsche vergiftige gewassen (with the title matching the present manuscript except that the last word is spelled "gewassen"), the author signed his foreword from Rotterdam, September 1836. The text of the first edition closely matches the present manuscript, but adds the foreword and references to the engraved plates. The manuscript, like the first edition, refers to an 1835 publication. A second edition appeared in 1838.Loosely inserted in the bound manuscript is a second manuscript, probably somewhat later but in what appears to be the same hand. Its title-page bears only the single word Pharmacie, it appears to be unpublished, is written on unwatermarked wove paper and collates: [A]12 [B]16 = 28 ll., with B12-16 blank. It may therefore be an unpublished pharmacological work by Miquel. The manuscript volume is here offered together with the first edition of De Noord-Nederlandsche vergiftige gewassen. The preface of this text volume notes that all 30 plates were produced by the acclaimed lithographic artist and printer Aimé Henry in Bonn, some originally for Henry's Die Giftpflanzen Deutschlands and some newly made for the present work. The printed edition of the Noord-Nederlandsche vergiftige gewassen with an owner's inscription on the half-title and an annotation and underlining in the margin and text on p. 9. The binding of this volume is worn and some pieces of paper are missing on the spine, especially at the bottom and around the hinges. Some foxing and browning throughout the book, although a copy with the original publisher's binding.

The gift of this Bible by Charles Evans, to his son, Charles John, in 1852, is recorded - the elder Charles, born in 1798, was the first of ten children - their births are recorded together with the dates of their contracting cow pock : chicken pock : small pock : measles : scarlet fever : hooping cough. Some of the children were recorded as having been infected by cow and chicken pock [pox] following innoculation. For example - 'Frederick Evans. had the Cow Pock Mr. Bowers inoculated him'; and, 'Louisa Evans, born May 10th. 1808, had the Cowpox in July following Inoculation by Mr. Griffith'. In context, on 14 May 1796, Jenner tested his hypothesis by innoculating James Phipps, the eight-year-old son of his gardener.

The letter (dated 11 February 1685; pp. 2-22) is a plea for improvement of the deplorable financial state of the defense, especially at the land side, after the 'Rampjaar 1672' and the subsequent wars with France which ended in the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678-79. The answer of Amsterdam (dated 14 February 1685; pp. 22-24) is not disobliging: their representatives are certainly willing to further discuss the matter, especially the amelioration if the navy.With the bookplate of the city library of Dordrecht on the front board.

The answer of Amsterdam (dated 14 February 1685; pp. 22-24) is not disobliging: their representatives are certainly willing to further discuss the matter, especially the amelioration if the navy.With the bookplate of the city library of Dordrecht on the front board.

[4], 439, [5] pp.Interesting pharmacopoeia intended for the use of surgeons by Anton Theden (1714-1797), the Surgeon-General of the Prussian Army and personal physician to Frederick the Great. The present work is a rare copy of the first and only Dutch translation of his work. In it, he details the human anatomy and provides a description of the organs, their function and the cure of the most common diseases affecting them. The second part of the volume comprises a medical reflections on the treatment of infectious diseases by the translator of the German text. A. Schrage.Theden's most significant contributions were in the field of surgery. He introduced a treatment for inflamed wounds called "inflamed wound or shot water," which consisted of brandy, honey or sugar, vinegar, and diluted sulphuric acid. This method, an advancement of his predecessor Schmucker's work, gained widespread use and became known as "Tinctura Antimonii Thedenii." Theden also invented the elastic catheter, a technique for controlling blood flow (hemostasis), and developed the use of hollow splints for the treatment of bone fractures. Additionally, Theden was a renowned medical researcher, alchemist, and prominent figure in freemasonry and rosicrucianism. His influence extended to diplomatic matters as well, as he played a crucial role in bringing Russian Freemasonry under the control of Prussian lodges, thereby exerting diplomatic influence. Following the conclusion of the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), Theden was appointed as the Third Surgeon-General of the Prussian Army. After the passing of Johann Leberecht Schmucker, he assumed the position of First Surgeon-General at the Charité in Berlin, where he served until his death in 1797. Binding shows some signs of wear, with (partial) loss of the endbands, not affecting the integrity of the binding, internally occasionally very slightly foxed.
