[ Photographically Illustrated Books ] Electro-Physiognomy. A Condensed Resume from the Work of M. Duchenne (de Boulogne). IN Journal of Psychological Medicine and Diseases of the Nervous System [ New York ]: [ D. Appleton & Company ], 1870. Cloth. Very Good. 224 pages + 3 leaves plates + [8], [225]-448 pages. 8vo. Red cloth binding with simple spine labeling "Psychological Medicine 4". Ex-library Library of Congress, properly withdrawn with surplus stamp on front flyleaf. Contains the first 2 (of 4) issues of the Journal of Psychological Medicine and Diseases of the Nervous System, Volume IV (January and April). Discrete LC perforated stamp on first page of the first issue. Otherwise unmarked internally. Cloth. The Journal of Psychological Medicine and Diseases of the Nervous System is an interesting publication. This volume is particularly interesting because of a review illustrated with albumen photographs. Duchenne in 1862 wrote "Mecanisme de la physionomie humaine, ou analyse electro-physiologique de l'expression des passions applicable a la pratique des arts plastiques." where he "studied the mechanism of facial expression during emotion; his atlas of photographs is a most important contribution to medical photography. Darwin reproduced a number of his photographs in The Expression of the Emotions." (Garrison/Morton 5/4973). Duchenne's work, which documented the electrical stimulation of facial muscles and recorded the results as "emotions", "marks the beginning of photography applied to anatomy and neurology" and is an important book both in medicine and in photographically illustrated books. The Truthful Lens #49. The Photobook: A History Volume I: p50.What we offer here is a substantial English language review of Duchenne's work. The review, by M.L. Edgeworth, is found on pages 76-87 of the January issue. The review not only gives a detailed discussion of Duchenne's work, but it also reproduces images from Duchenne's work in slightly different form. 3 plates, all albumen photographs, are offered to help explain Duchenne's book - the first a full page image, and the following 2 plates each with 24 small images showing the various electrical stimulations to the face and it's results "emotionally". The last 2 plates are really mashups of the plates in Duchenne's original work. Edgeworth limits his explanations to lengthy quotes and his own interpretations of the process by which the "artist" Duchenne elicits various emotional results captured in these early images, leaving the perhaps more philosophical/ethical commentary to others. Some of his detailed review references the included images while some strangely refer to other plates from Duchenne not reproduced here (perhaps reproduction costs or rights became an issue especially since this article carried nearly 1/3 of the plates in the original publication). A great example of the application of photography used to book reviews, something not often done in this period.Other interesting articles in the 2 issues include one on the "Physical Action of Magnetism [on the human body]" by John Vansant and "The Psychological Action of Opium" by Alonzo Calkins.

Kling People. Ca 1870 - An unmounted albumen photograph with number and title at the lower left "Kling poeple (sic) 171". With the blind stamp for G. R. Lambert & Co., Singapore at the lower right. This is a family group with 7 people, with some of the same individuals as those portrayed in a print at the National Gallery of Australia (Accession No: NGA 2007.2025) which is titled "92 Kling family" and which shows the same mother and father in the same setting (with striped backdrop) but with only the mother and father and two children.Lambert & Co. were commercial photographers in Singapore, 1867 - c. 1914. Founded by the German-born Gustave Richard Lambert (b.1846), the firm was by the end of the 19th century the largest and most successful studio in South-East Asia, maintaining branches at various times in Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, and Sumatra. It was appointed photographer to the king of Siam in 1880 and was also extensively patronized by the British colonial authorities to record political occasions and official visits. Although Lambert's personal presence in Singapore was sporadic, under the management of Alexander Koch the studio assembled the most extensive photographic documentation of the area, with a catalogue of views covering almost the entire Malay archipelago. - The Oxford Companion to the Photograph. 7 1/2 x 10".

Sleighing in New York Emil Seitz, New York 1870 - Lithograph printed in colors, after D. Benecke. Designed by Th. Benecke. Printed by Nagel & Lewis. A merry panorama of chaos on lower Broadway, 1855 Looking east across Broadway at Barnum's Museum just up from St. Paul's Church, and focused on a couple, thought to be Jenny Lind and her American impresario, P. T. Barnum, in a sleigh in front of Barnum's Museum. Jenny Lind toured America in the early 1850's. The "Swedish Nightingale" was immensely successful, one of the first "stars". There is, as ever, a huge traffic jam, this one involving one-horse, two-horse and six-horse sleighs, in a variety of styles and livery decorations. The large sleigh with six white horses is a public omnibus. On the front is a portrait of "Ol' Rough and Ready", the recently deceased President, Zachary Taylor, who died quite suddenly and unexpectedly in 1850. The policeman with a horse whip in the background wears the distinctive "cap and star" uniform, the star made of copper. The whole scene vibrates with excitement, confusion, merriment and stress. Note the over the shoulder trombone in the band in the balcony over the entrance to the Museum. "This imaginative and colorful print, showing Barnum's Museum, is?justly celebrated." (Peters) NY Public Library, The Eno Collection of New York City Views , number 335; Stokes, Iconography of Manhattan Island , page 898; Peters, America on Stone , page 93, illustrated plate 12.

Erste deutsche Ausgabe des ersten umfangreichen amerkianischebn Lehrbuches der Orthopädie! - "In den Jahren 1863 und 1864 veröffentlichte der Verfasser eine Reihe von Arbeiten über orthopädische Chirurgie in dem Philadelphia and Surgical Reporter, die später gesammelt in unverändertem Abdruck unter dem Titel "Lectures on Orthopaedic Surgery" herausgegeben wurde. Die günstige Beurtheilung in der medizinischen Presse und der schnelle Absatz der ersten Auflage veranlassten den Autor im Jahre 1868 eine zweite verbesserte und vermehrte Auflage mit 84 Illustrationen zu veranstalten. Diese ist es, welche der deutschen Uebersetzung zu Grunde gelegen hat." B.L. Scharlau, Vorrede - "This, after the small volume of Buckminister Brown, was the first true orthopaedic textbook in US, ." David Le Vay, The History of Orthopaedics, pp.385-388 - - The second of Stromeyer's pupils to arrive in America was Louis Bauer (184-1898). - Carl August Ludwig Bauer "physician, was born in Stettin, the provincial capital of Pomerania, in July, 1814. He began the study of medicine in 1833, and attended successively the universities of Germany at Greifswald, Brelsau and Berlin. In 1838 he passed the state examination as physician, surgeon, obstetrician and in forensic medicine, and entered private practice on the island of Ruegen in the Baltic Sea. He soon received an appointment from the German government as country (Kreiss) medical officer in East Prussia; was subsequently, by his own request, transferred to Pomerania with official residence at Stolpe, holding this until the year 1849. As a democrat, he took an active interest in the revolution of the time, became a leader in his party, and was elected a member of the lower branch of the Prussion legislature. On the dissolution of parliament, prosecution was employed against all who had opposed the crown, among whom he was numbered. Suspension from office, imprisonment upon the charge of high treason, crime against his majesty, the king, and similar supposititious charges followed. The high court failed to find a true bill; he was temporarily discharged after imprisonment of ten weeks- Liberty lasted but a few days, when, mutterings reaching him through a confidential friend that the district court would the next day take his case under consideration upon new charges of a similar character, he left Germany and embarked for England. While in Loudon he became a member of the Loudon medical society, and by examination a member of the Royal college of surgeons of England. In 1853 he arrived in New York, settled in Brooklyn, and soon secured a successful practice. He co-operated in the establishment of the Long Island college hospital, and was appointed professor of anatomy and surgeon to the new institution. In 1862 he was elected health officer of the city of Brooklyn, and held that position for nearly two years. In 1866 he was sent to Europe to take charge of a patient. During his four months' sojourn he studied the character and management of medical institutions. In 1869 he left Brooklyn and went to St. Louis, where he founded the St. Louis college of physicians and surgeons, was its dean for twelve consecutive years, and the professor of the principles and practice of surgery, a position which he has long held. Dr. Bauer devotes special attention to the culture of orthopedic surgery, of which specially he was undoubtedly the father in the United States. He has extended the domain to joint diseases, and rendered his knowledge and experience on the subject the common property of the profession by writing a treatise which rendered several editions necessary, and which has been translated into the German, Swedish, and Italian languages.

On the Mechanical Performance of Logical Inference Taylor and Francis, London 1870 - FIRST EDITION of Jevons's explanation of his "logical piano"; a landmark in computer science. Jevons invented a "logical piano" (so named because it resembled a small upright piano) that could perform, through a sequence of switches, various types of logical calculations. In doing so, he became "the first person to construct a machine with sufficient power to solve a complicated problem faster than the problem could be solved without the machine's aid" (Goldstine). "On the Mechanical Performance of Logical Inference," a paper Jevons read before the Royal Society on January 20, 1870, is his most detailed description of this early prototype of the modern computer. The logical piano now stands in the Museum of the History of Science in Oxford. In: Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London for the year 1870, pp. 497-518, Vol. 160, Part II (the complete volume). London: Taylor and Francis, 1870.

Lengthy Autograph Letter Signed to Mrs Julia K. Fish, 4 pages 8vo, Headquarters, Army of the United States, Washington, 11 July 1870. - Discussing the future of Fort Monroe. '. the President has at last resolved to promote Capt Turnbull - though to be frank I must say that he owes nothing to me in this result: for I regarded the case as involving the existence of the Artillery School at Fortress Monroe. If this school cannot enforce study and attention it cannot long survive. Now the only means it has to compel attention to the Course of Study is to deny promotion & advancement to those who fall short of its requirements. This case was a test one - for all realised the claim and influence of the family. And if the Rule cannot be enforced against a favorite it surely should not as against a poor fellow with no such influences or opportunities. ' ''I wish you would send this my letter to Col Benjamin who will see the force of my argument better than you can .' ''[Turnbull's] case was one that concerned the whole body of Artillery officers, for it will only result in the downfall of that School, which has no force or utility unless it has the sanction of authority. .'Fort [Fortress] Monroe in Hampton, Virginia, was established as early as 1609, but was greatly enlarged, and named after President James Monroe, in the nineteenth century. It remained in Union hands during the American Civil War. Still an active military establishment it is due to be decommissioned in 2011. [Bookseller: John Wilson Manuscripts Ltd ABA ILAB]
