Dr Proegler 1837-1907 was born in Cologne and educated at Erlangen Würzburg and Berlin graduating from the latter in 1859 and studying in Paris and London the following year before emigrating to the United States. At the outbreak of the Civil War he broke off from the practice that he had established in New York and "offered his services to the Government and was appointed Junior Surgeon of a hospital in Washington where he remained for a few months. He afterward served as surgeon of various regiments including the Twenty-fifth New York Infantry of which he had charge in his professional capacity for about ten months. At the close of the war Dr. Proegler entered the navy and was made Fleet Surgeon under General Farragut — a position which he filled until 1868" Memorial Record of Northeastern Indiana p. 225. Proegler returned to Germany during the Franco-Prussian War but in 1872 came back to America and settled in Fort Wayne Indiana where "from the beginning he maintained a place among the most able practitioners of this section of the State".

Mid 19th-century red half calf contrasting green labels low raised bands attractively gilt marbled sides blue-green endpapers red sprinkled edges. Engraved frontispiece of the Stratford monument 20 engraved plates. A little stripping to one corner one plate the Gilliland portrait torn across and repaired else a very good copy. First edition published three years after James Boaden's work on the same subject. Wivell had risen from impoverished beginnings and an apprenticeship to a wigmaker and hairdresser before reaching public notice as an artist with portraits of the Cato Street conspirators awaiting trial. This led to a commission to draw portraits of the participants in the "trial" of Queen Caroline in the House of Lords thence to abundant portrait commissions from the royal family the aristocracy and leading theatrical figures. This publication however brought his prosperity to a sudden end as its sales failed to cover the expense of producing the plates reducing Wivell "from affluence to comparative poverty" Art Journal 206. He was rescued by an uncle's legacy and his own ingenuity subsequently inventing a rope fire escape that was credited with saving hundreds of lives. Jaggard notes that the edition size was 500 copies of which 50 had plates on India paper and 25 were printed on large paper. Jaggard p. 695.
