I have been a haveing 10 dollars and that is little enough for to be obliged to stay in this place for it is not only sickly but very disagreeable other ways." He's had little success in his job hunt with a glut of painters in town. "I have been looking around to see if I could find a job on my own account. I got the promise of several & one steamboat to paint and am in hopes of getting them but a man's word is not worth much in California for if he promises you a job today he will employ some one else tomorrow." He notes that he will go back to the mines in the winter: "Men enjoy much better health in the mines than do in this place as a general thing but mining is rather uncertain though I am determined to give it a good try this winter and then quit the country that is to say this section of it."

ref. 7010Many fine full-page woodcut illus. 46; 59 folding leaves. 8vo orig. yellow wrappers wrappers a little soiled orig. woodblock title-slips on upper covers labels a little soiled new stitching. Kyoto Osaka & Edo: 1808. First edition of one of the three most important Japanese works on orthopedic medicine. The book is based on Chinese medical science most notably the Sheng ji zong lu è–濟總錄 written in the 11th century and the Yi zong jin jian 醫宗金鑑 by Qian Wu active 1736-43 who also wrote the famous Yuzuan Yizong Jinjian 御纂醫宗金鑑 Imperially Commissioned Golden Mirror of Medical Learning published in 1742. Our work presents a system of surgical treatment to cure injuries to bones principally fractures and dislocations with instructions on how to stop bleeding and to bind or immobilize the injured part by bandaging. There is a substantial section on materia medica and the compounding of prescriptions considered essential to the treatment of bones in Japan. The numerous and fine woodcuts depict braces and corsets plasters manipulations bandaging techniques casts etc. Many of these techniques are clearly taken from Western medicine. Ninomiya 1754-1827 was a prominent medical doctor who laid down the foundations of orthopedic surgery in Japan. He studied in Nagasaki where he learned Western and Japanese techniques from Kogyu Yoshio 1724-1800 interpreter of Dutch and a famous physician and surgeon who had a "Western-style" room at his home in the city. After further study under a number of doctors throughout Japan including Gento Yoshiwara Ninomiya established himself in Edo where he had an extremely successful practice. After contracting syphilis as a baby from his wet nurse Ninomiya lost his nose and wore a artificial nose for the rest of his life. Nice set. Both volumes have some minor marginal dampstaining. ⧠Mestler A Galaxy of Old Japanese Medical Books III p. 152. unknown books
1859ref. 423474Salt Lake City 1859. Unbound. Near Fine. A hand-colored sixth plate ambrotype portrait of a young man wearing what appears to be a battle shirt identified on the verso of the plate and in pencil on the paper lining behind the image as "Leivingston Moore. Salt Lake" and dated April 22nd 1859. Slight tarnish along perimeter of image; some tarnish on mat; lacking half of the leather covered case. According to Census records Livingston Moore was born in 1840 in Jamestown Missouri lived in St. Louis and finally died in Moran Missouri in 1911. Likely a Mormon Livingston Moore lived most of his life in Missouri which had a large Mormon population until The Missouri Mormon War took place in 1838 and forced more than 10000 Mormons to leave the state. Many settled near or in the city of Nauvoo Illinois. Moore's census records do not indicate why he was in Salt Lake City in 1859 but it is possible that he was sent there as a member of the Nauvoo Legion a militia employed by LDS leaders for protection of the community. Between May 1857 and July 1858 a confrontation between the Mormon settlers in the Utah Territory and the U.S. Federal Government took place referred to as the Utah War. This armed dispute stemmed from an attempt by President James Buchanan's administration to replace Brigham Young as governor of Utah Territory. Although the conflict was over by April 1859 it is conceivable that Moore may have been stationed in Salt Lake in case any additional uprisings occurred against the Mormons. unknown books
