[First Edition] Interview with India John Frederick Muehl [Used - Very good] [Hardcover] [First Edition] Interview with India John Frederick Muehl [Used - Very good] [Hardcover] 61.18 CAD Circling back to what are now a group of books recently listed about India, here's another: "Interview with India" by John Frederick Muehl. Quoting from the flap of the dust jacket: "We know of no American who has gone so deeply into India and the life of its people as has the author of this book. He got out of the cities and off the beaten paths as fast and as often as he could. Sometimes alone, sometimes in a caravan, he traveled on foot or horseback, by boat, in a bullock cart, or riding pillion on a camel. But what he writes is not a book of travel. It is in the truest sense what the title indicates. He interviewed the village people, landlords, money-lenders, local magistrates, camel drivers, refugees from Pakistan, the little bureaucrats, the good political leaders and the bad, the prince and the beggar." Condition: This book is in very good condition. The dust jacket, however, has suffered a bit and is split along the leading edge, and torn and chipped at corners and spine tips. It is still largely whole and doing its job. That explains in part why the hard covers are generally clean, bright and showing only the most minimal of bumping. Inside, the book is unmarked and the pages are bright and clean, without toning or foxing. Both hinges are intact and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.

"As director of the Massachusetts General Hospital, Warren allowed William Thomas Green Morton to perform his celebrated demonstration on the use of ether in surgery. Warren performed the operation (a surgical excision) while Morton served as anesthetist. Warren's support of the new development was in large part responsible for its subsequent worldwide acceptance. In this fascinating booklet, Warren gives a firsthand description of the early use of ether in surgery, including a detailed account of the famous operation mentioned above" (Heirs of Hippocrates 1345). Garrison-Morton (online) 11727: "Warren performed the first surgical operation under anesthesia at Massachusetts General Hospital on October 16, 1846. This work presents his experience with anesthesia in the year following." Norman 2186. Rutkow, The History of Surgery in the United States. 1775-1900, Vol I., GS26. Fulton & Stanton, The Centennial of Surgical Anesthesia VII.156. Who was the Dr. Storer to whom John Collins Warren inscribed this copy? One possibility is David Humphreys Storer, who was dean of the Faculty of Medicine at the Harvard Medical School from 1855 1864. Storer was present at the autopsy of John Collins Warren in 1856. Warren had arranged for this autopsy in a letter of July 14, 1842 to his son.

[First Edition] A Descriptive Sketch of the Present State of Vermont WITH ALS & RICH COLONIAL PROVENANCE John A. Graham [Used - Very good] [Hardcover] [First Edition] A Descriptive Sketch of the Present State of Vermont WITH ALS & RICH COLONIAL PROVENANCE John A. Graham [Used - Very good] [Hardcover] 3885.18 CAD IMPORTANCE Published only six years after Vermont became a state (1791), this is an important first-hand description of Vermont's social, political, and geographical landscape during its early statehood. This copy comes with an insightful autographed letter signed by the author to another prominent Vermonter, Hon. Ebn W. Judd. Amongst other things, the letter claims the scandalous John Horne Tooke as the anonymous author of the famous Junius Letters (an assertion John A. Graham went so far as to publish a book about in 1828). The Junius Letters heavily criticized King George III, accusing many administrators of corruption and nepotism while the author espoused the virtues of civil liberties and freedom of the press. There are also period newspaper clippings about the author, and the book once was owned by the venerable William Peter Van Ness, who famously was Aaron Burr's second in his fatal duel with Alexander Hamilton. Condition: Very Good BOOK INFO Published in 1797 in London. Printed and sold for the author by Henry Fry. In contemporary full calf with gilt scrolling vine paneling. Compartments ruled and tooled in gilt with a gilt-lettered black leather spine label in compartment two. All board edges with tooled rolls. All page edges speckled. Octavo, 8.5" x 5.25". Final blank removed. Textually collated and complete, including half-title and errata leaf: vii], [1] blank, 186, [2] errata leaf. Frontispiece, vignette title page and woodcuts depicting Vermont wildlife and sporting. Ruled page titles and a few, very small woodcut tail-pieces. Includes the handwritten, signed letter dated October 15, 1828, from the author John A. Graham to the Hon. Ebn W. Judd, which mostly focuses on the author's 1828 book and the gifting copies of this work, informally deemed Graham's Junius, which argues John Horne Tooke was the man behind the infamous Junius Letters. There are also two newspaper clippings referencing even older newspaper articles from 1795, one is pasted to a front blank: 1. Public notice of the Vermont legislature granting John A. Graham and his heirs exclusive smelting and refining of precious metals rights in the state of Vermont for 35-years starting January 1, 1796. 2. An emotional letter from John A. Graham publicly separating from and denouncing his wife for conducting herself in a repugnant manner dishonorable of a wife (assuming adultry?) particularly while Graham was away in Great Britain. CONDITION REPORT: VERY GOOD Exterior and binding: Binding holding tight, cracking along joints. Rubbing to extremities, bumped and worn corners. Sunned spine with faded gilding. Interior: The majority of text is bright and white. Endpapers are grubby and toning with some slight foxing to extremities. Blank preceding half-title with rectangular shape cut out (assumingly to remove a name) and a 2" x 3" rectangle of paper cut out at head of half-title (again, assuming former owner info was excised). The letter pasted in shows a few tears, toning and...
