1866Best.-Nr. 784871866. MITCHELL S. Weir. The Case of George Dedlow in The Atlantic Monthly July 1866. Original printed wrappers. Boston: Ticknor and Fields 1866. First edition. S. Weir Mitchell's literary work for adults. Printed anonymously in the Atlantic Monthly this is the fictional account of a Civil War assistant surgeon who had lost all of his limbs in battle. The realistic descriptions of the narrator's injuries and amputations led many readers to believe the story to be true. The story was later collected in The Autobiography of a Quack and the Case of George Dedlow New York: The Century Co. 1900. In the introduction Mitchell says the story wasn't written for publication. He had lent the manuscript to a friend who sent it to another friend who then sent it to the Atlantic Monthly. Mitchell was a physician who specialized in disorders of the nervous system and is considered the father of modern neurology. During the Civil War he was placed in charge of Turner's Lane Military Hospital in Philadelphia which became a specialty hospital for soldiers with neurological diseases. This allowed Mitchell to study and treat soldiers with a condition he called "sensory hallucinations" of stumps commonly known as "phantom limb syndrome." Although first described as early as the 16th century by French surgeon Ambroise Pare Mitchell was the first to study and describe the phenomena in detail describing it in his 1872 textbook Injuries of Nerves and Their Consequences. The term "phantom limb syndrome" became popular from an earlier article Mitchell wrote "Phantom Limbs" in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine Dec. 1871 in which he described the condition at length for a more general audience.

1915Best.-Nr. 177554Edinburgh: John Grant 1915. Updated edition presentation copy from the editor and his wife inscribed on her calling card mounted to the front pastedown "With all best wishes". This new and revised edition of one of Muir's famous Middle East histories was prepared by Thomas Hunter Weir. Margaret Weir translated several books on Islamic history including the main source used to update this edition. Sir William Muir 1819-1905 first released The Caliphate in 1891 which quickly became popular and ran to many editions. This edition incorporates new scholarship including Bell's volume of Greek papyri in the British Museum 1893 and Julius Wellhausen's Das arabische Reich und sein Sturz 1902. Margaret Weir 1865-1928 translated Wellhausen's book in 1927 under the title The Arab Kingdom and its Fall. Her translation was praised as an "excellent rendering of the German text" and "a work of high literary order" Bukhsh p. 40. She also proof-read the present volume and corrected the index p. ix. Muir spent most of his career serving as a colonial administrator in India holding the governorship of the North-Western Provinces between 1868 and 1874. His publications on Islamic history "were certainly controversial but because he was the first British scholar to attempt a popular interpretation of Islamic history based on study of the Arabic sources they were widely regarded as authoritative during the colonial era" ODNB. He was elected as president of the Royal Asiatic Society in 1884 and awarded the society's triennial jubilee gold medal in 1903. This work traces the history of the Rashidun Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates from the death of Muhammad and the election of Abu Bakr in 632 to the fall of the Mamluk Sultanate in 1517. "It is however a really trustworthy and scholarly book. Muir sticks closely to his title-subject the Caliphate itself and does not allow himself to diverge to the history of the numerous Mahommedan dynasties which gradually sapped the Caliphs' power. For the first century of Moslem rule however it forms. the best and most readable authority we possess and no historical library can dispense with it" The Spectator. Octavo. Four colour folding maps diagrams in text. With 3 pp. of publisher's advertisements to rear. Original red cloth spine lettered in gilt covers ruled in blind top edge brown others untrimmed. Spine lightly sunned spine ends bumped maps lightly foxed otherwise bright: a very good copy. S. Khuda Bukhsh Studies: Indian and Islamic 1927; "The Caliphate: its Rise Decline and Fall" The Spectator 24 June 1899 p. 12. hardcover
