The present collection offers a window into the literary world of American poet and humorist Ogden Nash (19021971). It is comprised of 239 volumes published between 1886 and 1971, among which are numerous presentation and association copies. All books in the present collection come from the shared personal library of Ogden and Frances Nash. The collection spans poetry, humor, light verse, and literary criticism, and includes a significant number of first and limited editions, often in original bindings or dust jackets. Of particular note are six books inscribed by Nash to his wife, Frances (including five authored by Nash, one of which is in an "Author's Copy" half-leather binding). Included in the collection are 59 works by Nash, three of which feature edits to the text in Nash's hand. Twenty-seven of these Nash publications are Author's copies bound in half-leather. There are an additional 48 volumes bearing inscriptions to Nash from other authors and poets, most notably twelve volumes inscribed by S.J. Perelman. Among the 132 uninscribed volumes included here, 45 bear Ogden Nash's ownership inscription (10 bear the ownership inscription of Frances Nash). The number and range of authorial inscriptions represented in the present collections reflect Nash's wide-ranging literary friendships and professional associations. Notable among these are twelve warmly inscribed titles by humorist S.J. Perelman, whose acerbic wit is on display in a series of affectionate, playful, and sometimes satirical inscriptions to both Nash and his wife, Frances. These volumes also reflect Perelman and Nash's shared experiences in Hollywood and the literary scene of mid-century America. Other highlights include inscriptions from John Betjeman, Christopher Morley, E.C. Bentley, A.P. Herbert, David McCord, William Plumer Fowler, and Holger Lundbergh, among otherseach evidencing Nash's influence and the esteem in which he was held across literary and cultural circles in the U.S. and the U.K. Of particular note are the six books personally inscribed by Ogden Nash to his wife, Frances, often composed in his characteristic rhymed style. These inscriptions reflect a deep relationship of tenderness, humor, and enduring partnership. The collection also includes school prize books awarded to Nash in the 1910s, including works by Matthew Arnold, Robert Burns, and Aeschylus, many bound in gilt-tooled leather and bearing formal prize inscriptions from St. George's School. These early items chart the poet's formative years and offer rare provenance tied to his intellectual development. 1399573. Special Collections.…

Ammerican College of Surgeons, 1954. - Philadelphia. W.B. Saunders Company, 1954, 8°, pp.22-28, orig. self wrappers. Offprint! From the Departments of Surgery and Anesthesiology, University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis. This study was supported by research funds from: (1) Graduate School, University of Minnesota; (2) Minnesota Heart Association; (3) Life Insurance Medical Research Fund; (4) United States Public Health Service Research Grant (H-830). "Controlled cross circulation has been employed in this clinic over the past nine months for the direct vision intracardiac correction of congenital heart defects in twenty-one patients.*) Concomitantly, work has continued in the laboratory to further evaluate this method of performing prolonged open intracardiac surgery. Many of the problems that were evident in the early experimental work, such as fibrillation, have not been encountered in the clinical experience to date, while the latter has emphasized certain features which had not been explored. Among these was the increase in the donor's respiratory minute volume necessary to maintain his alveolar pCO2 within normal limits ." Warden, et al. *) Since the presentation of this paper an additional 11 patients have been operated upon, making the present total 32. Of these, 22 were suture closure of ventricular septal defects, with 7 deaths; 6 were for the curative treatment of the tetralogy of Fallot defect, with 3 deaths; 2 were for correction of atrioventricularis communis defects, with 1 death; and 1 patient with a complicated defect (pulmonic stenosis, interatrial septal defect, and anomalous pulmonary drainage) did not survive corrective surgery. There has been no donor mortality in these 32 operations. "Lillehei had to undertake controlled cross-circulation in humans in the face of strong opposition, especially from Professor Cecil Watson (1901-83), then Chairman of the Department of Medicine at the University of Minnesota. The general concern was that two individuals, one of them being otherwise healthy, were sharing an unquantifiable risk. The procedure was first used on 26 March 1954 when Gregory Glidden, 13 months old and a victim of repeated bouts of pneumonia and heart failure, underwent ventricular septal defect repair after being connected up to his father, Lyman Glidden. Perfusion was carried on for 13 minutes and the operation went smoothly, the defect being closed by direct suture. After initial good progress, the boy unfortunately developed pneumonia, dying 11 days later. The surgical team consisted of Lillehei, Morley Cohen, Herbert Warden (1920-2002) and Richard Varco. Between 1954 and 1955 Lillehei et al. used this procedure 45 times at the University of Minnesota, with infants or children as patients. A parent or a close relative with the same blood type was connected to the child's circulation. There were no donor fatalities and no long-lasting donor sequelae. Controlled cross-circulation was associated with the first total corrections of ventricular septal defect, Tetralogy of Fallot and atrioventricular canal defects." Ashis Banerjee: C. Walton Lillehei (1918-99): the versatile pioneer of open-heart surgery. Journal of Medical Biography, 16/3 (2008): pp. 150-154 Clarence Walton Lillehei (1918-1999), was an American surgeon who pioneered open-heart surgery, as well as numerous techniques, equipment and prostheses for cardiothoracic surgery.…
