Issued with full title being A COMPENDIUM OF MEDICAL SCIENCE, OR, FIFTY YEARS' EXPERIENCE IN THE ART OF HEALING: BEING A PLAIN AND PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE PREVENTION AND CURE OF DISEASE: DESIGNED TO ENLIGHTEN THE POPULAR MIND IN THE TRUE ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLES OF MEDICINE, AND PROTECT THE READING PUBLIC FROM THE MISCHIEFS OF QUACKERY. Hardcover: H 21.75cm x L 14.25cm. Original quarter leather binding; darkened brittle spine leather chipped at ends and center with slender loss to "Jenning's Medical Compendium" title label affecting most of "Medical" and last three letters of "Compendium." Staining and soiling to brown cloth boards which are faintly decorated with floral pattern. Front and rear boards tenuously attached by binding strings. Old newspaper clipping glued to front pastedown. Only a few fractional remnants present of initial leaves inclusive to page 26; large chip at top fore-edge corner of pages 27-28; fore-edge third of pages 29-36 also lacking. First complete leaf present is pages 37-38 with page 37 having the concluding text of the Preface. Part I-Chapter I begins on page 41. Variable foxing to leaves inclusive to last complete text page 526. Only partial fragments to pages 527 onwards to rear free endpaper; the remaining stubs seem to place the book's pagination at 560 or so but the Library of Congress catalog calls for 592 so evidently missing last 33 text leaves plus concluding blanks. The intact text block remains firmly bound. OCLC only cites copies only at thirteen member institutions with only a single edition issued by Tuscaloosa, Alabama printer Marmaduke J. Slade so, despite the lacking leaves including the all important title leaf, it seems safe to attest that this is significantly flawed copy is still a scarce antebellum Southern imprint.…

Hardcover. Condición: Good. Hardcover. Bound in full leather, likely the original binding. Plain brown with blindstamped bands on the spine. Bumped and scuffed.

12mo. 4.25 x 7 inches. viii + 132 pp; xii + 174 pp. + 22 + [2] pp. publisher's catalogue. In original green limp cloth wrappers with blind stamped decoration and paper title labels. Spine sunned and front hinge starting to crack; otherwise a good copy. Illustrated by 18 plates, including 16 folding and by text figures. Although the titles bound together have very similar titles, they are in fact two different works. The first, which two has prefaces dated 1849 (original publication) and 1854, Second Edition, is the actual Rudiments of Naval Architecture as quoted on both title pages. The second, as is evidenced by its running title, is the Rudimentary Treatise on Ship Building (also quoted as the cover title). Naval Architecture would appear to be the generic title for a two part work issued in one volume. MARITIME NAVAL MARITIME SHIPS NAVAL 19TH CENTURY MARITIME.…

Condición: very good. n.p. [London 1817] Quarto original wrapper titled in gilt with printed label; printed back wrapper; title leaf, pp763-784 and separately printed index leaf numbered 785, four hand coloured plates. A presentation from Wirgman inscribed to Wm Constable Esqre on the front wrapper and annotated throughout as a guide to the reader. This a separate printing of Wirgman's article on Kant's moral philosophy in Encyclopaedia Londinensis - a perfect example of enthusiasm on it's way to being mania. Wirgman did four articles altogether covering the array of Kant and these could be bought from him coloured or uncoloured. He then went on to write and publish a formidable line of Kantesian solutions to everything. Along the way he spent the fortune he had made as a goldsmith. As John Timbs - retailer of dusty gossip - described him, "the eccentric Thomas Wirgman, the Kantesian, as a goldsmith and jeweller, made a considerable fortune, which he squandered as a regenerating philosopher." Wirgman was introduced to Kant by Friedrich Nitsch in the 1790s along with Godwin, Henry Richter and Coleridge. Unlike fellow traveller Coleridge, Wirgman didn't run for cover confronted with the indifference or hostility to German philosophy in England. It may have been exactly Wirgman that made Coleridge write "I am no Zealot or Bigot for German Philosophy" to a friend at the same time he wanted to found a German library - just not called German - in London. As said, Wirgman, advertised these for sale but this is a special presentation copy exhaustively made easy to navigate by numerous captions and pointers. William Constable is a too common name to place but there was a Scottish goldsmith William Constable at work around that time. # Customers in the EU should email first.…
