A treatise on the blood or general arrangement of many important facts relative to the vital fluid.

1794réf. 667471794. London : printed for T. Evans Paternoster Row and J. Stead at the Naval and Military Printing-Office Gosport 1794 8° 8 XX 170 pp. Halbledereinband d.Zt.; Rücken erneuert. Rare First Edition! "A treatise on the blood or general arrangement of many important facts relative to the vital fluid. With some cursory observations on the theory of animal heat. Interspersed with pathological and physiological remarks from the inductions of modern chemistry. By Hugh Moises surgeon of the Western Regiment of Middlesex Militia and Late Senior Pupil to the General Hospital Nottingham." "With the general acceptance of the Lavoisier-Crawford theory of animal heat as a resultant of respiration or slow combustion much of the subsequent search for the site of body heat production revolved about two questions. What happens to the inspired oxygen Or alternately where in the body was the carbonic acid first formed A subsidiary and often perplexing question asked at what temperatures the products of combustion carbonic acid and water actually could be formed The last question is of particular interest because the heats of combustion of carbon and hydrogen were utilized in the early nineteenth century attempts to establish the respiration theory of animal heat. Séguin citing Priestley and Bertholet had argued that these combustions could occur at ordinary body temperature. Hugh Moises in his Treatise on the Blod 1794 was equally emphatic : We know of no experiment which might authorize us to suppose that carbon can unite with oxygene in a temperature of 97°-99° or that hydrogene and oxygene air combine and form water in so low a temperature." "The early studies of this limited problem suggested solutions based on the ability of the different gases to cause the color changes observed in blood. Both Girtanner and Hassenfratz had attempted to show that venous blood became bright red upon the absorption of oxygen and thereby demonstrated their contention that the blood took up oxygen in the lungs. Another line of experimentation attempted to recover gases from the blood. Hugh Moises for instance confined arterial blood in bottles with gases containing no oxygen and claimed to find oxygen in the residue."

1910réf. 602711910. Medical World. Biographical Sketches of Notable Physicians and Surgeons of the Presents. - New York Berlin Publishing Company ca.1910 Photogravure 305 x 205 auf 390 x 290 mm 4 p. curriculum vitae. Moses Allen Starr 1854-1932 'Professor of Neurology in the College pf Physician and Surgeons at Columbia University New York City' "had plans for a career in classical culture when he graduated from Princeton and embarked for Germany to study Greek and Roman history. In Berlin however several visits to Helmholtz's laboratory revived a latent interest in natural science. He returned to his native New York graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons P&S Columbia University did a residency at Bellevue Hospital then returned to Europe to work at Heidelberg Vienna and Paris. On return to New York he set up a laboratory in his home and in 1884 published an essay on the sensory tracts of the central nervous system elucidating some of the then-current questions of myelination. Starr's regard as an American pioneer in the field of cerebral localization stemmed from his participation in a symposium on that subject with the famous English neurologist David Ferrier and neurosurgeon Victor Horsley who were delegates to the 1888 Congress of American Physicians and Surgeons in Washington D.C. He became professor of nervous diseases at the Montreal Neurological Institute. During neurosurgical operations they electrically stimulated the surface of the exposed unanesthetized brains of patients who were talking. On-going speech was blocked by excitation of the parietal-temporal area the inferior frontal area and the supplemental motor area of the left hemisphere Penfield & Roberts 1959. Those experimental protocols were a continuation of Penfield's long quest to add to the knowledge of body representations on the neocortex." H.W. Magoun & L.

Designs of Modern Costume. &c.

1821réf. 158589London: Henry Setchel and Son c. 1821. A finely printed collection in an attractive contemporary binding. The exquisite illustrations by Henry Moses depicting fashionable Neoclassical-style dress and furniture were praised by the English art critic Sacheverell Sitwell as "probably the finest and neatest engravings that have ever made their appearance between the covers of a book" quoted in Watkin p. 52. Henry Moses 1781-1870 a printmaker and engraver who specialized in classical design was distinguished by his "neatness and purity of outline" ODNB. Designs of Modern Costume was commissioned by Thomas Hope art collector and patron and all the scenes in the volume are depicted against the background of his museum-residence in Duchess Street. Hope himself was involved in the design and composition of the suite. "The persons shown throughout the book - in what are effectively a series of conversation pieces - are dressed in modernized versions of the ancient Greek costumes which Hope had recreated from antique sculpture and vase-paintings. The women's costumes are an enchanting compromise between the fashions of the fifth century B.C. and of 1810; and as such they appear to be unique in the history of Regency costume" Watkin pp. 219-220. This work first appeared in 1812 with only 20 plates. The present copy is an enlarged edition containing all the plates from the first edition and nine additional designs; multiple impressions of this edition with variant titles and imprints are known though the order of their publication is debated. Savage in his catalogue of early printed books in the British Architectural Library states that the present undated variant is quite possibly "the first to have been published with 29 plates. issued between around 1820 and 1822"; he assigned a date of c.1821 on the basis of the imprint as Henry Setchel died or retired in 1822. Octavo 218 x 160 mm. Engraved title page and 29 plates. Contemporary red straight-grain morocco spine with gilt ruled raised bands lettering and floral decoration gilt in compartments covers bordered with a double gilt fillet and a blind foliate roll small ornaments blind stamped to corners gilt decoration to board edges and turn-ins marbled endpapers edges gilt. Extremities slightly rubbed short split at head of rear joint but firm some marks and scuffs to boards contents foxed the engravings remaining sharp. A very good copy. Savage 2207. David Watkin Thomas Hope 1769-1831 and the Neo-Classical idea 1968; Nicholas Savage Early Printed Books 1478-1840: M-R 1994. hardcover
