Johnson's story about Amelia's publication and the novel's immediate popularity was not however entirely accurate. Yet the anecdote was so popular that it was ""accepted by every student of the novel's publishing history until 1953 when in a deft piece of bibliographical analysis Professor Todd in ""Three Notes on Fielding"" set the record straight.

A scarce very good complete set of this landmark early 20th century compilation of American pediatrics. ISAAC ARTHUR ABT 1867 – 1955 began his practice in internal medicine but gravitated to pediatrics with a particular interest in nutrition and became one of the earliest specialists in the field. After a year at the University of Chicago preparatory school he entered the 3-year pre-medical program at Johns Hopkins University in the Fall of 1886. At Johns Hopkins Isaac was greatly influenced by the outstanding pathologist William Henry Welch. In 1889 he entered the Chicago Medical College's two-year course. Abt took his internship at Michael Reese Hospital 1891-1892. Then Abt took the usual "grand tour" of Europe for his postgraduate training leaving in the fall of 1892 and returning in January 1894. From 1894 to 1897 he was assistant in pediatrics and instructor in physiology histology and physiology of the nervous system at the Chicago Medical College Northwestern University Medical School. In 1909 Abt became Chairman of the Department of Pediatrics at Northwestern University. He remained at Northwestern until his retirement in 1939. His most important work in support of pediatric hospital facilities began in 1910 when Edward Morris of the meat-packing family called on him with a proposal for a children's hospital. This hospital to be named after Edward's mother Sarah was to be the finest in Chicago. The Sarah Morris Hospital was acknowledged to be one of the finest in the country comparable to the Harriet Lane Home at Johns Hopkins. Abt's comprehensive knowledge of the rapidly expanding literature of pediatrics was in good part the result of his service as Editor of the Year Book of Pediatrics from 1902 to 1940. He was one of the founders of the American Journal of the Diseases of Children. His major work the 8-volume System of Pediatrics was published in 1923-1926 offered here. This became a classic in its field. With Edward Lasker he developed an electric breast pump that became highly successful. He was the first physician in Chicago to administer diphtheria antitoxin and he was the first American pediatrician to use protein milk in the treatment of diarrhea. Abt pioneered in the early work on incubators for premature infants. Abt was an active and productive member of numerous organizations. He was Chairman of the American Medical Association's Section on Pediatrics in 1911 and served as the Section's representative in the House of Delegates from 1918 to 1935. In 1925 he presented an informative and detailed report before the House on the methods of sale and promotion of infant foods that has served as a standard ever since. He also was a member of a joint committee of the AMA and the National Education Association. He was Chairman of the Committee on Medical Care for Children at President Hoover's White House Conference in 1930. Abt had been made a Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor in 1927. Isaac Arthur Abt became one of the most prominent pediatricians in the United States and for many years enjoyed an international reputation as well. Volume 1 contains GARRISON-MORTON No. 6353.

1749réf. 6500.1749London Printed for A. Millar 1749. Six vols. 8vo. 6 7/16 x 3 15/16 inches handsomely rebound in three-quarter acid calf over boards covered with 18th century marbled paper;the books have hand sewn blue-and-white matching headbands. Spines with five raised bands and black morocco labels; all edges sprinkled.FIRST EDITION with the errata leaf in Volume I and with all the cancels called for by Rothschild; Volume V: N8 is an unsigned cancel. It contains an ADDITIONAL CANCEL Overlooked in Rothschild; viz. Volume II: N12. As Cross points out the book was published Feb. 28 1749 and a second edition though not so named was published that same year but that in Volume I ".the unpaged leaf of Errata is omitted and in its place is p. lxiii the contents being expanded to fill." The second edition was begun before the first was completed and again according to Cross "An attempt was made to make this a paginary reprint of the first but the variations are numerous."Little can be added to what has already been written about Fielding's Tom Jones other than to mention that this is a DELIGHTFUL COPY with its tasteful retrospective binding which makes use of contemporary paper for the sides. A first edition sold at the October 28 2010 Sotheby's sale of "The Library of an English Bibliophile" for just under $18000 including buyer's premium. See: Rothschild. I p.150. Cross. III 316-317.
