1871ref. 200841871. Chirurgie der Nieren 1 Theil v. 2 - Erlagen Verlag von Ferdinand Enke 1871 VIII 89 pp. 2 lith. Tafeln Halbleinenband d.Zt.; St. verso Tit.; erste Lage im Falz gebrochen Papier wie immer gebräunt. First Edition - Rare! "First succesful nephrectomy" Begin of modern urologic surgery. The era of modern urological surgery began in 1869 when Gustav Simon performed the first carefully planned nephrectomy. After writing a brief notice of the operation in 1870 Exstirpation einer Niere am Menschen. Dtsch. Klin. 1870 22 137-138 Simon prepared a detailed illustrated account which he published as Volume I of his Chirurgie der Nieren. This volume contains two lithographed plates the first a schematic drawing of the patient's injury and the second an unusually artistic rendition probably from a photograph of the postoperative patient standing in front of a mirror displaying her surgical scars. The second volume issued five years after the first deals with the subject of kidney surgery in general discussing operations on both injured and diseased kidneys. This volume over three times as long as its predecessor contains seven plates three in color showing a gunshot injury to the kidney renal calculus and hypertrophy and pre- and post-operative pictures of a case of hydronephrosis successfully cured by surgery. Gustav Simon 1824-1876 Professor der Chirurgie in Rostock u. Heidelberg war einer der genialsten Operateure der Neuzeit. Das vorliegende Werk einer der großen Marksteine in der Geschichte der Medizin ist das Pionierwerk d. modernen urologischen Chirurgie. Am 2. August 1869 eröffnete Simon seine Vorlesung mit folgenden Worten: "Meine Herren ich bin gesonnen heute eine Operation auszuführen welche bis jetzt am Menschen noch nicht unternommen wurde". Die erste Nephrektomie durch Simon war eine glänzende Tat. Mit ihr wurde der Grundstein der Nierenchirurgie dargelegt. Simon benutzte einen linksseitigen Lumbalschnitt unter der 12. Rippe um einen retroperitonealen Zugang der Niere zu erreichen. Der Nierenstiel wurde 3 mal mit chinesischer Seide unterbunden. Die Operation dauerte 30 Minuten alles verlief glatt und planmäßig. Die Patientin gesundete. ---Das ausgedruckte Manuskript des 2 Theils seines berühmten Werkes lag auf dem Schreibtisch neben dem Sterbebett als Simon 1876 an einem Aortenaneurysma verschied.

This romantic conchology specifically addressed to female readers as a subject worthy of their study. The text is a mélange of natural history observations remarks on the use of shells in commerce and art and moral parables drawn from the life of molluscs. The author was a dilettante naturalist a favorite courtier of Louis XVI and possessor of an admirable natural history cabinet. During the Revolution after a brief imprisonment he was keeper of the statues at Versailles and was sent to Rome as one of the commissioners in charge of removing art works from that city.

He served in the U.S. Army in World War II before returning to Massachusetts and graduating from Harvard in 1951. Over six decades Johnson assembled perhaps the largest private collection of books and journals on molluscs including titles seldom found even in research libraries. Versailles: P. D.

1814ref. 19273Nottingham: H. Barnett 1814. FIRST EDITION IN ENGLISH. With 1 large folding engraved plate. Modern boards spine label; interior clean. Overall an excellent copy from the library of Dr. Sydney Ross with his small book label on the paste-down. First edition in English the first effort at an English translation which presumably got no further. The complete English translation was done by the Nathaniel Bowditch and published Boston 1829-1839. In Laplace’s monumental Mecanique celeste first published between 1799 and 1827 all the laws of planetary motion are deduced from the concept of universal gravity. He argued that the universe was really a great self-regulating machine and that the whole solar system could continue on its existing plan for an immense period of time. This was a great step forward from the Newtonian uncertainties in this area. He also offered a brilliant explanation of the secular inequalities of the mean motion of the moon about the earth a problem which Euler and Lagrange had failed to solve. Specifically the first book treats the general laws of balance and motion and the universal law of gravity as well as the movement of the centers of gravity of celestial bodies. Laplace 1749-1827 considered the Isaac Newton of France was one of the most influential scientists in the fields of mathematics celestial mechanics and physics. Not much is known about the translator John Toplis. He lived in Nottingham and was likely acquainted with his neighbor the mathematician George Green. H. Barnett unknown
1582ref. 00370BOOK FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN'T WRITE GOOD --- 16 319 1 p. 8vo a8 A-V8 164 x 103 mm --- First edition of the Dutch Catholic teacher's last work a students' guide to Latin composition. By copia Verepaeus here means not abundance but ability what he calls the facultas to properly use words and figures of speech p. 17-18. In subsequent years Praeceptiones de verborum et rerum copia and Praeceptiones de figuris would often appear separately. Editions stretch into the 18th century demonstrating an enduring utility. Includes a verse encomium by Aegidius Vlieger. ¶ Written in a catechetical question-and-answer format the author covers all the elements of good composition. He does address some grammar and the parts of speech but generally ventures beyond these in pursuit of more advanced rhetorical topics. "What is the use of metaphor" p. 166-168 for example and "What is synecdoche" p. 173-174. He discusses irony too providing classical examples and addressing its uses p. 192: "vituperation is always more agreeable"; vituperatio semper venustior est. He briefly touches on sarcasm not that we care p. 193. Allegory onomatopoeia hyperbole—all your favorite rhetorical devices find treatment here. Like many such manuals of the day Verepaeus underscores the value of good composition in the critical endless task of correspondence p. 3 but also in verse composition p. 4 and speaking p. 5. It's difficult to overstate the importance of rhetoric in humanistic early modern Europe—"the art of arts and science of sciences" according to Anthony Grafton. And there seems to have been no shortage of teachers willing to sell their secrets to unleashing rhetorical power. ¶ Scarce in the trade this the only copy we find in auction records. --- PROVENANCE: Early ownership signature of one Carmelus Lentinus on title page. ¶ A little underlining and a handful of early nota bene marginalia both confined to the first thirty pages. --- CONDITION: Early limp parchment preserving the original upper pair of tawed ties but only remnants of the lower. Title and date in early ink on the front cover. ¶ Scattered light foxing; final leaf twice torn nearly across the width through the text and a couple square inches of loss at its foot no textual loss. Parchment soiled and torn at the head of the spine. ¶ A nice solid copy. --- REFERENCES: VD16 V 613 ¶ Peter Mack A History of Renaissance Rhetoric 1380-1620 Oxford University 2011 p. 224 "Verepaeus is extremely thorough in his treatment of the tropes making many subdivisions particularly in metaphor metonymy and synecdoche"; Anthony Grafton Bring Out Your Dead Harvard University 2001 p. 168 Gerwin Calenius and the Heirs of Johann Quentel
