1851réf. M10991Paris:: Victor Masson 1851. 1851. 8vo. iv 441 pp. Original quarter calf over marbled boards gilt-stamped spine title; lightly rubbed. Presentation gilt-stamping on spine. Very good. FIRST EDITION. "Deval investigated whether the amaurosis weakness of sight is sthenic or asthenic. He follows Sichel in the classification amaurosis due to the retina to the optic nerve to the brain to the spinal cord ganglionary or abdominal trifacial or ophthalmic amaurosis. He praises for torpid amaurosis galvanic electricity." Hirschberg. This volume bears indication on the spine that it was awarded to a M. Julien as the "Prix de Vaccine" for 1850. The French government supported research into vaccines and vaccination actively awarding prize monies beginning in 1801. "Deval was the most outstanding among the pupils of Julius Sichel." He studied medicine and graduated 1834 as doctor in Paris dedicating . . . "himself to ophthalmology after he had been trained by Sichel for four years." He published numerous case reports and we have to assume that he treated many patients. Deval "tells us that his institute was visited by a great number of physicians and students and that he taught some of them ocular operations and as soon as he was sure that they had a steady hand he let them operate on his patients. These operations were quite successful. Deval never operated with the strictest indication. He was overtaken by his knife-happy colleagues and died a poor man." Hirschberg.

Inscribed: “To Horace McCoy with friendly admiration for ‘They Shoot Horses Don’t They’ Jacques Deval.” McCoy is best remembered for his classic thirties novel They Shoot Horses Don’t They a hardboiled portrait of depression era dance marathons. This comedy play was an international success starting in Paris London the capitals of Europe including Berlin where after vetting to make sure the playwright was not Jewish Adolf Hitler saw the play becoming so entranced by it that he eventually saw it three times.

1932réf. 30055New York: The Viking Press. Very Good. 1932. First American Edition. Hardcover. no dust jacket good sound copy lightly shelfworn minor external soiling spine cloth a bit faded discoloration in gutters one-time owner's "Property of" statement handwritten on front endpaper and the same person's signature and date on the page following the dedication page. Novel about a young Frenchwoman who finds herself stranded at the age of eighteen in a remote South American port; she manages to make her way to Panama where she takes up prostitution as a means of earning the money for her passage back to France. You can stop thinking about Marlo Thomas now. Her activities get her mixed up with some of the complicated international aspects of the Canal Zone and at various times she encounters a Japanese spy a German agent and an American Secret Service man. One contemporary reviewer commented that the author "lays much stress on the importance of the Canal Zone to the United States of America and other countries and yet one cannot help feeling that he regards the whole thing as just a little ludicrous and that he is privately pointing the finger of scorn at men who can allow their time to be taken up by such immense trivialities." Originally published in France in 1931 as "Marie Galante" although in this translation she's called Chéri which was also the title of the British edition the book served as the basis for a 1934 American film adaptation under that title starring Spencer Tracy and Ketti Gallian and that same year was adapted by its author for a stage musical with music by Kurt Weill. In the film version not surprisingly the heroine is not a prostitute; it was released in the latter half of 1934 so the Hays Office wouldn't be having any of that! . The Viking Press hardcover
