Next various treatment approaches are covered including SSRIs drug combination strategies thyroid augmentation and cognitive therapy and psychosocial interventions among others. Special populations are then covered followed by two final contributions addressing economic and ethical issues.

1719Best.-Nr. F5OGBDYNZ8OAAmsterdam: Gerard Valk 1719. Very large engraved folding plan comprising 1 1/2 sheets measuring 46 x 83 cm as assembled engraved by Danckert Danckertsz. and his father after drawings by Jacob Vennekool including the two hemispheres of the world map and a celestial map of the constellations of the northern hemisphere each 10 cm in diameter. Very large engraved plan showing the extraordinary cartographic mosaic floor of the Burgerzaal of the Amsterdam City Hall designed by Jacob van Campen with a celestial map in the centre and the magnificent map of the world in 2 hemispheres on either side. The engraving was first published in 1661 and the map shows Tasman's recent discoveries in Australia and Tasmania and depicts California as an island. Many discoveries from his second voyage remained otherwise unpublished until the end of the 17th-century. This engraved representation is all that is left of this cartographical work of art. Wear caused by people walking on the mosaic meant it had to be restored about a hundred years later. When in turn this restoration was damaged the two hemispheres were filled in with plain marble slabs without pictorial representation.The drawing of the floor was made by Jacob Vennekool who worked closely with Van Campen and since his drawings were first published even before the building was completed they may reflect Van Campen's plan more closely than the finished building itself. They also of course show it before the alterations made at various times in later years.Slightly wrinkled in the right margin one fold reinforced and a few tiny spots otherwise in very good condition.l Cf.

This is an especially pleasing copy of the definitive edition of an epistolary novel comprising a group of fictional letters purportedly written during the Peloponnesian War and featuring a notably handsome binding by Amsterdam artisan Jonas Fröding. Begun as an academic exercise among friends headed by Philip Yorke second Earl of Hardwicke 1720-90 and his brother Charles 1722-70 "Letters" was edited by the historian Thomas Birch 1705-66 with contributions from Henry Coventry John Green Samuel Salter the bluestocking scholar Catherine Talbot 1721-70 Daniel Wray George Henry Rooke John Heaston and John Lawry. After a private printing in 1741 of just 10 copies a second edition of 100 copies appeared in 1781 after several of the original participants had died and sparked what Britannica calls "a considerable vogue" for this and other works of historical fiction. A pirated Dublin edition was issued in 1792 to capitalize on this popularity but it was suppressed by Hardwicke's heir and superseded by our very attractive large-format 1798 printing done under the third Earl of Hardwicke's direction with an added geographical index engraved plates and a map. Stockholm-born binder Jonas Fröding ca. 1763-1808 was registered as a burgher in Amsterdam in 1794 at which time Jan Storm van Leeuwen believes he was working as an apprentice for the Crevenna Bindery a prestigious workshop that produced high-quality bindings for bibliophiles on their old and valuable books. One such client was the Italian-Dutch merchant by whose name the bindery was known Pieter Crevenna. In 1803 Fröding was received into the bookbinders' guild and set up his own workshop where he continued to use several roll tools from the Crevenna stock. While none of our rolls matches Crevenna rolls exactly two of them bead-and-feather Greek key are very similar to Crevenna rolls IX and XXV van Leeuwen I 715-16 and the overall design is quite like van Leeuwen fig. 239 a 1795 binding of tree calf by the Crevenna bindery with a gilt design in a Neoclassical style; that work would have been done during the time van Leeuwen believes Fröding was an apprentice there. Sadly Fröding's career lasted just five years; he died in Amsterdam in 1808. Not surprisingly given the brevity of his working life bindings by Fröding are uncommon in the marketplace. This work is seen for sale from time to time but our copy stands out because of its particularly attractive binding. T. Cadell jun. & W. Davies unknown

1772Best.-Nr. A81EC98HI9JLAmsterdam: David Pierre Humbert 1772. Near contemporary gold-tooled marbled calf with the title lettered in gold on the front board gold-tooled board edges marbled endpapers gilt edges. Large 4to 21.5 x 27 cm. With an engraved vignette on the title page and a divisional title page for the Prieres a l'usage de la maison des orphelins walons on leaf I3r. Further with 2 woodcut headpieces. Very rare work with the rules and regulations of the orphanage and elderly home institutions of the Walloon Protestant Church at Amsterdam in 1772. It is divided in 15 chapters each giving the regulations for the staff the physician the regents the guards etc. and the orphans and elderly. The preface contains the history of the "Hospice Wallon" from 1630-1772. On page 69 and onwards the prayers in use at the house are given. At the end a list of the regents male and female from 1631 until 1771 is present. This copy is interleaved with blank leaves a few with manuscript annotations in ink. In 1631 the Walloon community bought 3 houses at the Laurierstraat where they founded their orphanage. Eventually these buildings became to crowded and in 1669 the first stones were laid for another building at the corner of the Vijzelgracht in Amsterdam. In April 1671 the orphans moved to the new building now Maison Descartes.With manuscript annotations in black ink on the verso of the blank leaf between leaves A1 and A2 in the text on A2r and on the verso of the blank leaf between leaves C1 and C2; the other interleaved leaves remain blank. The binding is somewhat rubbed the fore edge and part of the fore edge margin of the last third of the leaves are stained and some offsetting on the letterpress leaves of the text on the surrounding letterpress pages this happened before the blank leaves were bound in.

1860Best.-Nr. ABC_50131Amsterdam: printed by R. de Vries for François Buffa & Sons 1860. Original brown blind-stamped wave-grained cloth with the title and imprint information lettered in gold on the front board in a rococo frame yellow endpapers. Oblong ca.16.4 x 24.6 cm. per leaf. The panorama is made up of 8 numbered lithographed views printed in monochrome with beige tone block. The viewer looks southward from the IJ over the city from the Oosterdok eastern dock and the Oosterkerk eastern church along the docks and wharfs via the recognisable towers of several churches and the view of the Royal Palace to the Westerdok western dock a large factory and the Blauwhoofd the northwestern-most bulwark of the city. Extremely rare leporello-style bound copy of a lithographic panorama of Amsterdam printed in monochrome with a beige tone block after drawings by Johan Conrad Greive 1837-1891 and lithographed by Ruurt de Vries Jr. 1813-1874.A remarkably precise and atmospheric profile of Amsterdams IJ waterfront extending from the Lijnbanen to beyond the Blaauwhoofd. The principal buildings are identified beneath each plate. The panorama captures in extraordinary detail the eastern docks the Oosterdok and Westerdok areas and numerous landmarks including the Zeemagazijn Admiraliteitsmagazijn Oosterkerk Zuiderkerk Oude Kerk the Dam with the Royal Palace and Nieuwe Kerk Westerkerk Noorderkerk and the bustling shipping of the IJ. A distant suggestion of Haarlems St Bavos Church may be discerned on the horizon.Greives meticulous urban draughtsmanship is akin to painting with the precision of photography. He later became chairman of Arti et Amicitiae and was celebrated for his highly detailed views of cities and rivers.The present example is preserved in a true leporello concertina binding: the front and back boards are not joined at the spine but are attached only to the first and last leaves of the accordion-folded sheets.This work is extremely rare: we have located only two other bound copies both held at the University of Groningen. Curiously of the related publication Panorama de Rotterdam likewise illustrated by J.C. Greive and published by François Buffa & Sons only a single surviving copy is recorded also at the University of Groningen. We have traced another copy of the Rotterdam panorama at the House of European History.The work has been cut slightly short touching the plate numbering and is slightly foxed throughout. Otherwise in very good condition.l d'Ailly Repertorium 278; Rijksmuseum object no.

1815Best.-Nr. 23646Amsterdam 1815. In this etching Rembrandt has depicted his wife Saskia surrounded by six other subjects of different ages including his mother. The etching is reminiscent of a sketchbook page in which the artist practices different facial expressions and the fall of drapery on his subjects. Saskia receives the most detailed study with very fine lines used to draw her curls and a thin headdress. Each figure looks out in a different direction. There are approximately 125-225 known impressions of this work many posthumous. Nowell-Usticke B365. This impression is pre-1815 signed by the french printseller Naudet in 1801. This impression predates the 1815 restrike. Signed on the verso by the early Parisian print seller Naudet - "Chez Naudet Md au Louvre 1801". The "Md" is an abbreviation for 'Marchand" merchant. See Maberley Joseph "The Print Collector: An Introduction to the Knowledge Necessary for Forming." 1880 p.84 and Fagan Louis "Collectors' Marks" 1883 p. 73. There are several prints held in the Fitzwilliam Museum Cambridge with Naudet inscriptions one being "Two boys blowing bubbles. Bartsch 365; Hollstein White and Boon 365. 5 x 6 1/16". Usticke's second state of 2 with the horizontal scratches between the head of Saskia and the turbaned head in profile upper left. With slight loss on three corners and a small closed tear. Signed in the plate "Rembrandt f 1636" in the bottom left the "f" somewhat faint. unknown

Un plat parfaitement séparé du volume En portugais Very rare 2nd second edition of the only treatise on Hebrew laws and customs written in Portuguese language and printed for the Portuguese Sephardic communities in Northern Europe. Treasure of Jewish Laws that the people of Israel must know and observe composed by Rabbi Hacham Menasseh ben Israel in Amsterdam, 1st edition 1647; and this 2nd edition in 1710. In 8. º (18x12 cm) (v) -201 - (iv) folium. Binding (worn out at edges) contemporary full calf gilt at spine. Engraved frontispiece. Contains title page to Third Part (Of feasts and fasts throughout the year, the people of Israel must know and observe) and the Last part (in which contains all the precepts, rites and ceremonies concerning to a perfect economy dedicated to the very noble and magnificent lords Abraham and Ishak Israel Pereyra). MENASSEH BEN ISRAEL was born in Lisbon in 1604. Very young of age he went to Amsterdam with his father, Joseph ben Israel, and became a disciple of Haham Yshac Uziel. In 1622 he was appointed professor of the Portuguese Jewish community in Amsterdam and, four years later, he founded the first Hebraic typography in Amsterdam; printing small books in Portuguese, Spanish and Hebrew languages. Menasseh had a decisive contribution in reopening England to the Jewish people, closed since the time of King Edward Ist. He went personally to London and had talks with Cromwell who gave him an honorific pension he never profit of. Menasseh died in 1658 after returning from London. He was portrait by Rembrant. Inocêncio VI, 211. 'In a book dealer which trade was new and old books, I found a complete copy of the Treasure. I've never seen another. '
Best.-Nr. 91MGUB7YLZSDNetherlands 1740. Mounted in passepartout. A view in brown ink with light and dark grey watercolour washes on laid paper 16.5 x 21.5 cm with a manuscript caption at the head. Attractive view in brown ink with grey washes of the picturesque Kostverloren manor on the Amstel River just outside Amsterdam. The manor was originally built at the end of the 15th century. In 1650 it was severely damaged by fire but it was soon restored. In 1822 Kostverloren was razed. The manor was famously depicted by Rembrandt Ruisdael and also by Abraham Rademaker 1676/77-1735 one of the most important topographic artists of his day. Rademakers drawing closely matches the present view in style and shows the exact same scene from the trees on the left to the smaller house on the right. The only difference is the season: the trees depicted here are much fuller.Slightly foxed but otherwise in good condition.l Cf.

1660Best.-Nr. ABC_49405Amsterdam 1660. In a passe partout framed in a modern wooden frame. Engraving: ca. 38.5 x 50 cm; frame: 66.5 x 76 cm. Rare large engraved view of Amsterdam as seen from the inlet known as the IJ. The work is captioned in French and includes a numbered legend for the buildings in the background. According to d'Ailly it must have been engraved between 1660 and 1668 as it shows the Oost-Indisch Zeemagazijn a large warehouse built by the Dutch East India Company between 1660-1663 but not the Lutheran Church which was built in 1668. The present engraving is not signed but is very similar to a slightly later view of Amsterdam by French engraver Pierre-Alexandre Aveline 1656-1722. It bears the same caption and legend and has a nearly identical background but differs in the typography cartouche and the amount of ships in the foreground. The present state is exceptionally rare as we have not been able to trace any other copies of it in sales records and only three in literature.The engraving is slightly creased the upper right corner has been professionally repaired. Otherwise in very good condition.l D'Ailly E. A. Repertorium van de profielen der stad Amsterdam en van de plattegronden der schutterswijken 98 3 copies; cf. d'Ailly 101 and 102 Aveline view. unknown
