Both pieces were written at Moor Park about 1696-7, when Swift was acting as secretary to Sir William Temple, whose uncritical praise of the spurious Epistles of Phalaris had stirred up the controversy over ancient and modern learning.

CASAS, Bartalome De Las First Latin translation of the author's "Brevissima Relacion" Seville : Sebastian Trugillo, 1552. Also the first illustrated edition. Small quarto (7 3/16 x 5 7/8 inches; 195 x 150 mm). [8], 141, [1, blank] pp. Bound without the final blank. With engraved title-page and seventeen half-page engravings by Theodor and Johann Theodor de Bry; after Joost van Winghe. This edition is the first appearance of these plates which all illustrate the cruelties practiced upon the Indians by the Spaniards, as related by Las Casas. According to Sabin, this edition of Las Casas, "is much sought for in consequence of the beauty of the first impressions of the plates." Bound to style in full modern paneled calf. Boards ruled in gilt and blind. Boards with gilt central lozenge. Spine stamped and ruled in gilt. Top edges dyed brown others speckled red. Title-page and plates on pages 12 and 95 trimmed close at fore-edge, barely affecting illustration. Some occasional light dampstaining and light soiling. Overall a very good copy. "His [Casas] career affords, perhaps, a solitary instance of a man who, being neither a conqueror, a discoverer, nor an inventor, has, by the pure force of benevolence, become so notable a figure that large portions of history cannot be written, or at least cannot be understood, without the narrative of his deeds and efforts being made one of the principal threads upon which the history is strung. . Take away all he said and did, and preached, and wrote, and preserved (for the early historians of the New World owe the records of many of their most valuable facts to him), and the history of the conquest would lose a considerable portion of its most precious material." (Sabin, 11289). "The relations of Las Casas proved a most formidable weapon for any nation on ill terms with the Spaniards. It is to be hoped that the real number inhumanly tortured and slain has been fictitiously doubled many times, otherwise we should be compelled to believe that the torments of purgatory were too moderate for the Spaniards."

A very good copy. "In August 1677 Lamb was appointed as master cook to the queen consort, held in tandem with the office of sergeant of his majesty's pastry in ordinary, to which he was elevated in November 1677. Finally, in February 1683, Lamb attained the status of master cook to the monarch. He was reappointed to this post under the successive household regulations of James II, William and Mary, and Anne, and was removed from it only by death. His services as a royal cook encompassed the provision of prepared dishes for daily and extraordinary consumption by the monarch and his guests at table.Lamb's culinary skills were most effectively demonstrated in extraordinary events, and his claims for large expenditures on such occasions as the Westminster visit of the Venetian ambassadors in December 1685 testify to the splendour of these.These and other junkets are evoked in the text of Royal Cookery, published posthumously in London under Lamb's name by John Morphew and Abel Roper in 1710, and subsequently reprinted in 1716, 1726, and 1731. The text incorporated recipes for elaborate dishes alongside engravings of lavish table layouts for occasions such as royal suppers. Such details suggest that the text was drawn from Lamb's papers, rather than being speculatively published under his name as some contemporaries contended." (Oxford DNB). Bitting, Pg.271.

A Rare and Excellent Discourse of Minerals, Stones, Gums, and Resins; with the Vertues and use thereof. London: Printed by Elizabeth Alsop, 1653. Revised edition and second overall edition. Small quarto (7 ? x 5 ½ inches; 185 x 138 mm). [8],232 pp. Illustrated with numerous woodcut illustrations and diagrams. With woodcut initials and head and tail pieces. Title-page within a woodcut border. The authorship of "An additional discourse of several sorts of stones," by D.B. Gent. (p. 217-232) and the editorship of the entire work are attributed to Arnold Boate. Cf. DNB. (ESTC). Two states of the title page are known, one with the imprint of Bernard Alsop, this with the imprint replaced by his widow Elizabeth Alsop, who continued the business after his death. This is the second edition of Plat's fascinating work originally published in 1594. The book discusses 150 different topics ranging from such sundry topics as cooking, farming and wine making to the more abstract such as the medicinal properties of minerals or how to make an egg stand alone without any help. The work is illustrated with numerous woodcut illustrations and diagrams as well as a couple headpieces and initial letters. [Bound before the following title]: MOFFETT, Thomas.

Hinges and headcaps with some repair. Staining and toning throughout the Moffett. Title-page of Jewel House with small ink stains. Final two blank leaves with contemporary ink manuscript remedies including how to cure a sore throat. Overall a very good copy of both titles. Moffet's second posthumously issued book was Healths improvement, or, Rules comprizing and discovering the nature, method, and manner of preparing all sorts of food used in this nation (1655), edited by Christopher Bennet. This is a gossipy treatise on various aspects of diet and eating habits which Moffet intended to supplement by a similar work on drinks. It was probably compiled about 1595 and contains, inter alia, descriptions of an unusually wide range of birds and fish. His widow appears to have died at Calne, Wiltshire, in 1626. By her will, proved 26 June in that year, she left a portrait of Moffet and a book in his writing, probably Healths Improvement, to his daughter Patience. It has been supposed, on the basis of Moffet's interest in spiders, that Patience was the âlittle Miss Muffet' of the nursery rhyme. (Oxford DNB). Thomas Moffett studied medicine at Cambridge and Basel and received his medical degree in 1578. He returned to England to practice medicine, but traveled to the Continent frequently. During his travels in Italy and Spain in 1579, he studied the silkworm and became interested in entomology. Physician to the nobles in the court of Elizabeth I, he gave up that post to become a member of Parliament in 1597. He published many medical texts and one major work on natural history.

"Shortly after graduating [medical school] Winterbottom left for Sierra Leone. He arrived on 1 August 1792, and spent seven years as physician there, during which time he recorded his experiences in two successful works. [His] second book, An account of the native Africans in the neighbourhood of Sierra Leone, to which is added an account of the present state of medicine among them (2 vols., 1803), contained his unofficial observations and is the main source of his reputation as a clinical observer. It contains his classic description of sleeping sickness, trypanosomiasis, among local Africans. The enlargement of the cervical lymph glands (on the neck), which he noted, has become known as âWinterbottom's sign'." (Oxford DNB). Winterbottom noticed that slave dealers would not buy slaves whose neck glands showed signs of enlargement which prompted his research. Garrison and Morton. Norman Library. HBS 68976. $5,750.

Lavater (1741-1801) "was the last and most influential of the descriptive physiognomists, a class of pseudo-scientists who attempted to ascertain character on the basis of physical features.Von der Physiognomik [1772], an unillustrated two-volume book, was Lavater's first work on the subject; this was later expanded, with the help of Goethe, into the four-volume Physiognomische Fragmente (1775-1778), and further perfected in a French translation, Essais sur la physiognomie.supervised by Lavater himself. Lavater's physiognomy differed from those of his predecessors in that he paid special attention to the structure of the head, particularly the foreheadâ"a form of psychological indexing that exerted some influence on the development of phrenology and brain localization theories in the early nineteenth century. Lavater's work also influenced artists of the period, both in the overall creation of portraits, and in the use of his physiognomical theories to construct individual faces in historical paintings" (Norman Library). Lavater's work on physiognomy was extremely popular, and, by 1810, sixteen German, twenty English, fifteen French, two American, two Russian, one Dutch, and one Italian version had appeared. Among the portraits included are those of Descartes, Locke, Milton, Newton, Vesalius, Voltaire, and George Washington. Garrison and Morton. Norman Library. Osler 3178. ESTC T139902.

De conceptu et generatione hominis De matrice et eius partibus, nec non de conditione infantis in utero, et gravidarum cura et officio.
RUEFF, Jakob Full Description: RUEFF, Jakob. De conceptu et generatione hominis, De matrice et eius partibus, nec non de conditione infantis in utero, et gravidarum cura et officio., Frankfurt: [Peter Schmidt for Sigmund Feyerabend], 1587. Third Latin edition and second edition to contain the woodcuts of Jost Amman which are the "first true anatomical pictures in an obstetrics book." (Garrison and Morton). These woodcuts were first used in the 1580 edition. Small quarto (7 3/8 x 5 1/4 inches; 190 x 135 mm.). [6], 92 leaves. Without blank leaf at end of preliminaries [B2} as usual. Title printed in red and black. Large woodcut title vignette and numerous woodcut illustrations, some of which are full-page. Full vellum. All edges speckled red. Vellum with a few spots and marks. Leaves are a bit toned throughout. Some sporadic dampstaining. Previous owner's bookplate on front pastedown. Still a very good copy with intricate woodcuts. "[The 1580 edition] was the first edition to contain the woodcuts of Jost Amman(1539-1591), the Swiss-born illustrator. They include two scenes of a pregnant noblewoman and of a woman giving birth with the midwife in attendance, 26 cuts of the uterus and developing foetus, 5 of obstetrical instruments and 3 of abdominal organs. A large number of cuts are also devoted to human deformities and monsters. Although there is still some religious basis to the latter, Rueff's was the first obstetrical book to contain meaningful anatomical illustrations, and remained in use for the best part of a century." (Christie's) Rueff (1500-1558) was a physician and professor of medicine in his native Zurich. "Based on Rösslin's best-selling Rosengarten, but intended for physicians and scholars as well as midwives, De conceptu was more than a practical handbook of midwifery. Among its illustrations are three full-page woodcuts of the female reproductive organs derived from Vesalius's Fabrica, a correct representation of the birthing stool, the toothed âduck-bill' pincer for removing a dead fetus and a series of smaller cuts depicting both real and imaginary monstrosities, which Rueff believed to be the work of the devil. Of greater interest, however, is the series of seven woodcuts illustrating contemporary ideas of mammalian embryology, which provide a unique and valuable insight into how early writers envisioned the process of embryonic development. Rueff's illustrations, based upon the writings of Galen and Aristotle, show the mixture of blood and semen coagulating in the womb into an egg-shaped mass; the subsequent development of organs and blood-vessels (taken from observations of chicken embryos); the arrangement of these into an outline of the human form; and the completed fetus" (Norman Library regarding the First Edition).
