Near contemporary annotations/description pasted on to verso of dedication-leaf. 4 576 pp. The scarce first edition of Burckhardt's main work the groundbreaking work on the culture of the Renaissance which helped found the historical study of this previously much overlooked era. " "The most penetrating and subtle treatise on the history of civilization" in Lord Acton's words "a mere essay" as Burckhardt himself called it "The Civilization of the Renaissance in Ittaly" has for more than a century determined the general conception of thirteenth- to fifteenth-century Italy." PMM p. 210This classic of Renaissance historiography is of the greatest importance to the development of the history of the Renaissance and of history of art and culture in general. More specifically Burckhardt here establishes the fact that the Renaissance came first in developing the human individuality to the highest degree. He places the earliest signs of "the modern European Spirit" in Florence which was a great contributing factor to the comprehension of this city as representing one of the highlights of European culture.The Swiss historian of art and culture Jacob Chrisoph Burckhardt 1818-1897 contributed seminally to the historiography of these two fields. He is considered the discoverer of the Renaissance and with his main work he founded the study of thirteenth- to fifteenth-century Italy and thereby the historical study of the Renaissance the society of which he dealt with all aspects of. In general Burckhardt's works all constitute an original historical approach to the study of art culture social institutions etc. As a highly respected scholar of Greek civilization Burckhardt with his original historiographical approach was highly admired by Nietzsche who also attended his lectures. The two kept in contact and corresponded frequently. Like Nietzsche Burckhardt was a great admirer of Schopenhauer and he greatly opposed the Hegelian interpretations of history.". as in the case of other great historians such as Gibbon Ranke Macaulay no criticism of details can detract from the powerful spell which Burckhardt's book has exercised upon such widely different writers as Ruskin Nietzsche and Gobineau as well as upon innumerable lovers of the most magnificent period of European history."

First appearance of the famous issue of Acta Eruditorum in which the 4 solutions by the 4 most eminent mathematicians at the time were printed together. There were in all 5 solutions to the posed problem and Newton's solution was first printed in the Philosophical Transactions January 1697 and reprinted here. The solution proposed by L'Hopital not printed here was not published until 1988.The brachistochrone problem was posed by Johann Bernoulli in Acta Eruditorum in June 1696. He introduced the problem as follows: "I Johann Bernoulli address the most brilliant mathematicians in the world. Nothing is more attractive to intelligent people than an honest challenging problem whose possible solution will bestow fame and remain as a lasting monument. Following the example set by Pascal Fermat etc. I hope to gain the gratitude of the whole scientific community by placing before the finest mathematicians of our time a problem which will test their methods and the strength of their intellect. If someone communicates to me the solution of the proposed problem I shall publicly declare him worthy of praise." Johann Bernoulli and Leibniz deliberately tempted Newton with this problem. It is not surprising given the dispute over the calculus that Johann Bernoulli had included these words in his challenge:- ."there are fewer who are likely to solve our excellent problems aye fewer even among the very mathematicians who boast that they. have wonderfully extended its bounds by means of the golden theorems which they thought were known to no one but which in fact had long previously been published by others."According to Newton's biographer Conduitt he solved the problem in an evening after returning home from the Royal Mint. Newton: . "in the midst of the hurry of the great recoinage did not come home till four in the afternoon from the Tower very much tired but did not sleep till he had solved it which was by four in the morning."Newton send his solution to his friend Charles Montague and Montague published anonymously in the Transactions. Newton's solution presented here in the Acta is also anonymous. The episode did not please Newton as he later wrote: "I do not love to be dunned pestered and teased by foreigners about mathematical things ." After the competition Johann Bernoulli said ". my elder brother made up the fourth of these after Leibniz himself and Newton that the three great nations Germany England and France each one of their own to unite with myself in such a beautiful search all finding the same truth."Struik Edt.

1848réf. 206001848. From the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal; And the Transactions of the American Medical Association Vo. 1. - Boston: David Clapp Printer .184 Washington Street 1848 8° 1 Bl. 27 pp. 18 pp. Orig. Broschiert. FIRST EDITION of one of the most significant early papers on anesthesia! This is a very good to fine copy in the original rare blue wrappers as the copy in the NLM. The first article was originally published in the Boston Medical Surgical Journal in 1846. The second article is from the Transactions of the American Medical Association Vol. 1. "Bigelow's speedy publication of Morton's discovery and his subsequent advocacy of ether assured its adoption throughout the civilized world. The above work deals with the priority claims in general and with a defense of Morton's claim in particular" and contains detailed information on their surgical use dangers and history." Garrison & Morton Bigelow had great concern for the suffering of surgical patients and was interested in finding an ideal agent which could be used as an anesthetic. Ether had the potential to be of use though there was concern over its flammability. Bigelow used ether and published his observations on use of vapors from sulphuric ether in the Boston Medical Surgical Journal in 1846. In the present report Bigelow discusses the pros and cons on using ether vapors or chloroform and compares this in the second article with other anesthetic agents. This clinical research was a major advancement for surgical operations where pain to the patient was greatly minimized or not felt during the surgery. Henry Jacob Bigelow 1818-1880 the Boston surgeon is noted for important contributions to surgery and for having published the first account of the use of ether in a surgical operation. He attended the Boston Latin School entered Harvard at the age of fifteen years and was a graduated with the class of 1837. He then studied medicine with his father as preceptor and attended lectures at the medical schools of Harvard and Dartmouth. In 1838 and 1839 he served as a house surgeon at the Massachusetts General Hospital and obtained the degree of doctor of medicine from Harvard Medical School. Bigelow also made important surgical contributions. Through his Boylston Prize essay Manual of Orthopedic Surgery 1844 he directed attention to a field of surgical endeavor until then neglected in America. In 1869 he described the iliofemoral ligament and its mechanism and demonstrated the importance of the structure in reducing dislocations of the hip by the flexion method which had been advocated earlier by William W. Reid. Bigelow also improved an instrument lithotrite for crushing stones of the bladder and perfected an evacuator of large caliber for immediate removal of the fragments. He designated the operation "litholaplaxy". Rare - RLIN locates 4 copies some evidently without the original wrapper with its collective title. Garrison & Morton No. 5730 unknown

First Edition! HENRY JACOB BIGELOW 1818-90. - "As the dangers of surgical anesthesia became more well known Bigelow wrote a series of articles detailing these problems. To clarify some of the questions concerning the hazards of surgical anesthesia Bigelow also prepared a report for presentation to the members of the American Medical Association. This series of papers was later reprinted as a monograph entitled Ether and chloroform; their discovery and physiological effects Boston: D. Clapp 1848 G-M 5730." Rutkow Bigelow's speedy publication of Morton's discovery and his subsequent advocacy of ether as an anesthetic assured its adoption throughout the civilized world. The above work deals with the priority claims of Morton and Charles Thomas Jackson with Bigelow taking Morton's side in the dispute.

"Mussey was professor of surgery at the Medical College of Ohio in Cincinnati at the time he wrote these two letters to the editor of the Boston medical and surgical journal. As the clinical use of surgical anesthesia increased there was a growing controversy both in America and Europe over the efficacy of chloroform versus ether. Mussey had had extensive experience with chloroform and noted that his operations proceeded "without a single unpleasant effect in any case."

1695réf. 419751695. Halae Magdeb. Literis Christiani Henckelii 1695 Kl.4° 16 6 pp. orig. Broschur. Erste Ausgabe zweiter Abdruck! Die hier vorliegenden "Disputatio de passionibus animi" "Über den mannigfaltigen Einfluß von Gemütsbewegungen auf den menschlichen Körper" zeigt daß es Stahl schon zum Beginn seines Wirkens in Halle seit 1694 also um das Problem der psychophysischen Wechselwirkung gegangen ist. Er hat seine Bedeutung seine Auswirkung in der Praxis beobachtet. Man findet hier die Grundlagen der medizinischen Psychologie. Es werden Beispiele für den Einfluß seelischer Erregungen auf den menschlichen Organismus angeführt. In der Einleitung wird hervor gehoben: "So leiten sich von den Leidenschaften des Gemütes in ihrer vielfältigen Bestimmung Leitung oder Änderungen der Bewegungen des menschlichen Körpers auch viele Krankheitsanzeichen her." Die Mehrschichtigkeit seelischer Alterationsstufen das Unverlierbare besonders tiefe Eindrücke wird in der Vorahnung späterer Erkenntnisse Freudausgesprochen: Zugegeben sei "daß der im Erbgang geprägte Prototyp der Leidenschaften und Neigungen des Gemüthes in gewohnheitsmäßiger Festigung nicht ganz umgekehrt werden kann" so vermag doch "die domminierendende Leidenschaft durch eine ihr entgegengesetzte Gewohnheit an die zweite oder gar dritte Stelle verdrängt werden wo sie zwar noch innerhalb der Ordnungen steht gleichwohl ihre Rangstufe wechselt." Es liegt dem in nuce die Idee von der Verdrängung zugrunde. Es wird schließlich empfohlen die psychologischen Beobachtungen bei der Behandlung der Patienten nützlich anzuwenden und zu verwerten indem man den Kranken "viele Ausbrüche des Erschreckens der Furcht des Zornes anhebender Ängstlichkeit durch guten Zuspruch und durch vertrauenserweckende Sicherheit" benimmt. So zieht die Arbeit die Folgerung: "Seelenleiden die von Verletzungen des Körpers herrühren sind oft mit schwerwiegenden und dauernden Folgen verbunden. Doch sie sind zu vertreiben mit der Heilung der Körperschäden." Die Lehre von den symptomatischen Psychosen wird im Ansatz vorweggenommen wenn auch die Terminologie auf einen noch neuen Begriffsterain vortastet. Es sind Gehversuche auf einem noch dunklem Gebiet in der ärztlichen Praxis. Man kann die "Disputatio" als eine frühe Arbeit bezeichnen die sich aus der Sicht des Arztes mit dem Problem psychisch verursachter Störungen von Krankheitsabläufen beschäftigt. Es handelt sich hierbei nicht um Geisteskrankheiten. Es geht vor allem um die körperlichen Einflüsse transitorischer Seelenzustände die man heute in der Lehre von den Neurosen und ihren verschiedenen Erscheinungsformen zusammenfassen würde. Die seit der Antike beknatte Verbindung zwischen Knostitution und Charakter wird auch nach der therapeutischen Seite hin erwogen und berücksichtigt. Es ist der Geist einer naturwissenschaftlichen Betrachtungsweise der sich durch diese Arbeit hindurchzieht. Es zeigt wie vorbeitreffend die Annahme war den STAHL'schen Animismus nur religiös zu interpretieren." "In dem an zweiter Stelle stehenden "Propempticon inaugurale" - es ist eine dem Doktoranden JOHANN JACOB REICH gewidmete Abschiedsrede STAHLS mit angeschlossener Vita REICHS - nimmt STAHL zu dem Thema "De synergeia naturae in medendo" Stellung. Man findet hier alle Merkmale des STAHLschen Systems und erkennt wie sehr der aus der Erfahrung schöpfende Psychologe den Vorrang gehabt hat. So wird eine tiefe Kenntnis des Eigenrhythmus biologischer Abläufe in dem Gedanken ausgesprochen: "Die Natur hat ihr eigenes Zeitmaß und verwendet dieses bei den rhythmischen Vorgängen des Lebens von längerer Zeitdauer so bei der Embryonalentwicklung bei der Geburt Zahnung Pubertät". Die Synergie der Organe unter der Direktion der Lebenskraft enthält im Krankheitsfalle das ärztliche Problem die nützlichen Bewegungen der Naturheilkraft von den eigentlichen Krankheitsbewegungen zu unterscheiden. Der Arzt muß vor allem die Bewegungen erkennen die auf einen nützlichen Zweck abzielen. Theoretische Fragen werden aus dieser Sicht kurzerhand beiseite geschoben und in der für STAHL typischen Art das Leib-Seele-Problem zu einem biologischen Postulat'gemacht : "Es handelt sich nicht um eine Annahme sondern wir beweisen a priori mit der Vernunft daß im Menschen von einer einzigen Seele alle diese Akte und Bewegungen vollzogen werden können. Erfahrung und Vernunft zeigen a posteriori daß diese Zusammenhänge zwischen Leib und Seele in der Tat vorliegen." In diesem Problem sieht STAHL den Inhalt seiner Lebensarbeit: "Darauf werfe ich mich mit ganzer Seele. Dem gilt meine ganze Arbeit. Weder Mühe noch Neid können mich dabei verdrießlich machen. Ich hoffe vielmehr mit dem Problem in würdiger Weise fertig zu werden. Möge die Medizin dann wieder auf ihr rechtes Fundament gestellt sein"!" Diese beiden Texte "vermitteln so ein interessantes Bild der ärztlichen Persönlichkeit STAHLS ihres Temperamentes und ihrer Suche nach den biologischen und psychologischen Gesetzen einer wirksamen Therapie. Er gibt sich mit der Vorstellung einer nur mechanistischen Arzneiwirkung nicht zufrieden. Er nennt die besondere "Chronometrie" biologischer Abläufe das Gesetz der Ganzheit den Begriff des allen Einzelerscheinungen übergeordneten Organismus den Einfluß seelischer Erregungen auf die Vitalbewegungen desselben. Die psychophysische Wechselwirkung wird dem Arzt als praktisch wichtiges Problem gestellt. Jedenfalls hat STAHL bereits im Jahre 1695 alle wesentlichen Gedanken seines medizinischen Systems dargelegt. Die Ansicht er habe erst durch CHRISTIAN WOLF gewichtige Anregungen erhalten ist nicht mehr haltbar. Bereits 12 Jahre vor dem Erscheinen seiner "Theoria medica vera" hat die Forschungsrichtung STAHLS ihr wesentliches Ziel gehabt. Wenn man die Geschichte der medizinischen Psychologie überdenkt so wird man GEORG ERNST STAHL auf Grund der Einsichten in die ärztliche Bedeutung des Psychischen wie schon KORNFELD mit Recht ausgeführt hat an den Anfang einer Erschließung dieses Fachgebietes stellen dürfen. Die Leitsätze am Schluß der "Disputatio" enthalten das historische Fundament dieser neuen erst in unserer Zeit zur Anerkennung gekommenen Wissenschaft." B.J.

réf. FRE22Ca. 163 original gelatin silver photographs and real photo postcards mostly mounted on loose cardboards from ca. 178x228 cm 7 x 9 in to ca. 68x49 cm 2 ½ x 2 in. Ca. 30 photos with English captions or dates on the mounts either in manuscript or typewritten text; with one identification badge of a newborn ca. 35x72 cm 2 ¾ x 1 ¼ in. Several photos detached one photo lacking a small fragment at the margin one photo with a horizontal fold mark and one photo with small fragments at the lower right corner attached by scotch tape but otherwise a very good collection of strong photos. Historically interesting archive of lively vernacular photographs and real photo postcards related to the New York–based Ukrainian and Belarusian Jewish families of Yurowsky and Rothstein. From 1881 to 1917 the United States experienced its largest wave of immigration. Following the assassination of Tsar Alexander II of Russia blamed by many on the Jews a series of violent pogroms erupted across the Russian Empire. With official tolerance and new restrictive laws these attacks devastated over 160 towns leaving thousands of Jewish families impoverished. As a result more than two million Jews emigrated to the United States over one million settling in New York. The compilers’ family appears to have left during this period seeking safety from widespread anti-Jewish violence. According to the captions the archive belonged to the family of Ukrainian and Belarusian Jews Jacob Yurowsky ca. 1886-1962 and Lillian Rothstein ca. 1888-1961. Jacob’s parents Louis Yourowsky ca. 1858- and Yetta Yourowsky ca. 1860- emigrated to the United States in 1896 leaving their children with relatives in Ukraine. Born in Zhitomir Jacob eventually joined his parents in America in 1905 arriving amidst the First Russian Revolution and anti-Jewish pogroms. In 1917 he married Lillian who had emigrated from Belarus with most of her siblings. The couple first lived in Manhattan before later settling in the Bronx where they raised their son Morton Yourowsky ca. 1919–2006. U.S. World War II Army Enlistment Records 1938–1946 indicate that Morton graduated from Utica College and worked as a pressman and plate printer prior to his military service in the World War II. The collection contains over 163 lively vernacular photographs and real photo postcards mostly taken and collected in New York. The earliest photographs in the archive apparently date to 1902–1903 and were produced in the pioneer Minsk studios of Osip Bernstein and L. Rosowski. These portraits likely capture Lillian’s sisters Sonia and Minnie prior to the family's emigration from Belarus. Importantly the archive includes at least fifty excellent cabinet photographs of the Yourowsky family and their relatives taken at early lesser-known New York studios. Most of the photographs identify the specific photographer or studio frequently providing the studio address printed directly on the mount. Among these are excellent images from People’s Photo Gallery at 45 Canal Street; Spachner & Berger on 12th Avenue in the Lower East Side M. Robbins at 49 Canal Street; H. R. Trachtenberg at 62 Avenue C; and Isidor Yog at 45 Canal Street - the latter of whom was a noted Jewish anarchist associated with the Yiddish theatre community.
