1876réf. 56086Providence & New York 1876. All 12mo approx. 7¾" x 4¾" 23 pages in all; previous folds; generally fine. A personal very youthful and friendly body of correspondences from Charles Value Chapin 1856-1941 to his friend Webster Knight when Chapin was just beginning his career as a physician. All letters except the first are from Bellevue Hospital in New York where he had moved to continue his education at the College of Physicians and Surgeons. In the first letter Chapin describes a yacht race at Brown University: "Providence July 17 '76. Dear Webster.as he Hazard was on the port tack he should have given way as I expected but instead kept right on and we had to bear away.almost wished we had hit him amidships and sunk the old tub.but I suppose it is more high-toned not to have drowned them.we had a small hop at Warwick.had a delightful time flirting with Helena and Miss Rhodes whom you remember I used to apply your expressive phrase 'pill garlic'." The next letter names some mutual acquaintances - also well-known Rhode Island names; Bill Gammell Prescott the Bowens speaks of Webster's flirting with the girls foreign language studies his autopsy studies; "making hash and sausage out of a lot of half rotten corpses--their ghastly faces grinning up.under the dim gaslight." Topics of the remaining letters include friendly banter associated with the boyhood escapades of the two reminiscences of Rhode Island and he wonders if the medical field will be as lucrative as the cotton business. In the last letter from 1879 which Chapin instructs Knight to burn "as soon as you have read this" he speaks of finishing his morning rounds at Bellevue his "rottenest boarding house.shanty is no name for the house and the table is poor and the people are idiots except me." Chapin speaks of his current lady love but "when she goes I have another girl I am going to make up to. She comes from Elizabeth N.J. and is more or less of a naughty girl and a d.f. but at the same time they have a first rate billiard table at the house.and also a good dinner." After visiting a saloon and taking a nap Chapin goes back to the hospital where ".they were awfully glad to see me and the death rate immediately fell off by 25%." In 1879 upon graduating with his M.D. Chapin worked at Bellevue for a year. He was also a Professor of Physiology at Brown University from 1883 to 1896. 1884 was the year in which Chapin was appointed as Superintendent of Health and he served in that capacity until his retirement in 1932. Chapin was well known nationally and internationally for his public health work related to contagious diseases such as diphtheria scarlet fever and typhoid. His research showed that contagious diseases were not airborne but were spread through contact. He was also a prolific writer and lecturer and was a member of many associations and societies. He was the president of the American Public Health Association in 1926 and 1927 and was the first president of the American Epidemiology Society in 1927. He also received the Sedgwick Medal in 1930. His correspondent Col. Webster Knight 1854-1933 was of the B. B. & R. Knight Fruit of the Loom cotton manufactory barons. He graduated from Brown in 1876 married Sarah Waldo Lippitt of the Lippitt mill dynasty became director of several banks assistant quartermaster general of the Rhode Island National Guards and a member of the Warwick Town Council. unknown

Hardcover. fair. 16mo. 230 2 277 1 4 146pp. Original full calf with gold lettering on spine. All edges red. Marbled endpapers. Fascinating work on the trial of Dominican Froilan de Llanos who was the official confessor of Charles II of Spain. Fray Froylan Diaz de Llanos was convinced that the king's poor health was a result of a spell cast on him. In 1698-1699 under the Head Inquisitor Juan Tomas de Rocaberti's supervision he performed a series of exorcisms over the king after which he stated that Charles II was indeed under the influence of evil forces for which various persons from the royal court were responsible among others Queen Maria Anna of Neuburg. When the queen found out about the accusations against her Froylan Diaz de Llanos was dismissed from the post of royal confessor and transferred to the diocese of the city of Avila and subsequently arrested by the Tribunal of the Inquisition on charges of heresy. Some age wear on binding with rubbing on spine and along edges. Minor and sporadic foxing throughout. Binding in overall good- to good interior in very good condition.

Inscribed first edition of this first book by the National Director of CORE association copy to activist and political scientist Charles V. Hamilton with his notes and marginalia throughout. As co-founder 1942 and eventual director 1961 of the Congress Of Racial Equity - and through its ethos of nonviolence later championed by Martin Luther King jr. - Farmer was instrumental in pioneering what would become some of the Civil Rights movement's most high-profile actions including sit-ins jail-ins and Freedom Rides. Farmer was Program Director for the NAACP before ascending to CORE director would eventually serve as assistant secretary of health education and welfare under Nixon and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Bill Clinton. Charles V. Hamilton co-authored the best-selling and enormously influential BLACK POWER: THE POLITICS OF LIBERATION IN AMERICA 1967 with Kwame Ture formerly: Stokely Carmichael a manifesto which would heavily inform the movement of the same name and functionally introduce the concept of "institutional racism." Hamilton's influence in the field of political science would continue through his long tenure as a professor at Columbia University. This copy benefits from his scholarly eye as it contains considerable notes by Hamilton on the rear endpaper with numbered references to specific pages and passages.
