ANTIQUE BOOK MASS GEN HOSPITAL BOSTON INSANE ASYLUM CIVIL WAR GENERAL LAFAYETTE
This book is titled Extracts from MASS General Hospital 1810-1851. The book is a record of sorts of all the various meetings. Proposals, patients, etc. that occurred during this time period. There are a few references to the Civil War, including mention of a"wooden leg fund" to help wounded soldiers. Among other things, there are mentions for the need of a"Lunatic" or"Insane" asylum in the Boston area. There are many names and references. General Lafayette is mentioned as having visited with his son. Also mentioned are Col Thomas Perkins, Captain Nathaniel Fletcher, and Gen. Appleton. There is a gift inscription on one of the early interior pages: To Gen. F.H. Appleton with the compliments of Francis Blake, 12 December 1902. As noted above, the pages are loose, most unattached from the spine. The pages are somewhat ... morebrittle on the edges, but are cream to off-white in color with dark, highly legible text. The LOW lighting conditions when I took the pictures give them the yellow tint. The pages are not yellow in person. Also, you can see the shadows from the camera on the pages; the dark areas are not stains. This book will make a great addition to any collection, especially relating to Massachusetts' history or the Civil War. Please ask any questions prior to bidding. Thanks, and good luck.

1859 Old Antique Leather Pre Civil War Medical Book Anatomy Surgery Human Body
A System Of Human Anatomy by Erasmus Wilson Published by Blanchard and Lea. 1859. Containing 616 pages. Illustrated with over 397 fine medical engravings. Very good condition. Tight binding. Strong hinges. Light wear to covers. A nice speciman. Please enjoy the pictures and let me know if you have any questions. Wilson was born in London. Studied at Dartford Grammar School before St Bartholomew's Hospital in London, and at Aberdeen, and early in life became known as a skillful surgeon and dissector. It was his sympathy with the poor of London and a suggestion from Mr. Thomas Wakley of The Lancet. Of which he acted for a time as sub-editor, which first led him to take up skin diseases as a special study. The cases of scrofula, anemia, and blood-poisoning which he saw made him set to work to alleviate the suffering of persons so afflicted, ... moreand he quickly established a reputation for treating this class of patients. It was said that he treated the rich by ordering them to give up luxuries; the poor by prescribing for them proper nourishment, which was often provided out of his own pocket. In the opinion of one of his biographers, we owe to Wilson in great measure the habit of the daily bath, and he helped very much to bring the Turkish bath into use in Great Britain, and in the process writing a number of works on spas, baths and thermo-therapy, all of which overlap in their content. Indeed his works on spas. Baths, and thermo-therapy were directly related to his work on the health of skin. His earliest such works on this topic outlined the relationship between various applications of water, vapour baths, the action of heat and cold through such media on the action of the skin, and the relationship between this and health in general.4] Moreover, his works had a direct impact on the hydrotherapy movement of the time(then known as hydropathy) and the overlapping sanitary reform movement.He applauded the establishment of Public Baths and Wash-houses, as“amongst the noblest of the institutions…as they are one of th

PICTORIAL FIELD-BOOK OF CIVIL WAR Union Confederate Military ANTIQUE LEATHER
THE PICTORIAL FIELD BOOK OF THE CIVIL WAR In the United States of America. Three Volumes In One. By Benson J. Lossing. Illustrated by Many Hundred Engravings on Wood. By Lossing and Barritt, From Sketches by the Author and Others. Published in 1868 by T. Belknap& Co. Three volumes, complete set, 10” x 7” three-quarter leather with raised bands and gilt titles on spine. Illustrated with engravings and woodcuts. About 2000 pages total. Condition: Fair condition. Not a perfect set by any means. But certainly a great opportunity for a historian or researcher to acquire this rare work at a more affordable price(the last PICTORIAL FIELD-BOOK OF THE CIVIL WAR I sold on eBay closed at $499) Exteriors as shown in photos. Leather is rubbed with fraying and some minor splitting along the joints at spine ends, but all boards are FIRMLY attached. ... moreLeather tips at corners also rubbed. The bindings of all three volumes are firm although in Volumes I and III, the rear endpapers and very last page of text have come loose(due, I suspect, to a manufacturing flaw since the identical pages in both volumes have come loose) but are intact and laid in. The text in all three volumes is lightly toned/tanned. Steel-engraved plates exhibit foxing. Also, some of the steel-engraved plates featuring portraits of the Generals appear to be missing(although some still remain) Volume II has some moisture blemishing at the front of the book affecting the frontispiece and early pages. Description: This is an 1868 three-volume set of Benson J. Lossing’s PICTORIAL FIELD-BOOK OF THE CIVIL WAR. It is illustrated with hundreds of woodcut engravings: portraits. Landscapes, battle sites, forts, weapons, uniforms, maps, plans, etc. It also contains a number of full-page steel engraved plates inserted at different points throughout the text. To students of the American Revolution and the Civil War. Benson J. Lossing(1813-1891) has long been an iconic figure. At the age of 35, he had already built a strong reputation as an editor, author and engraver o

These songs are historically important as it was their attempt to preserve the Negro culture they had brought with them from Africa.

The book also helped create a number of stereotypes about Blacks, many of which endure to this day.

In recent years, the negative associations with Uncle Tom's Cabin have. To an extent, overshadowed the historical impact of the book as a"vital antislavery tool.

I have trouble reading what I type here.and couldn't make out anything but the date on the front page.I'm confident it has some nice words. this just in-it looks like the first words in the script are, David Keysers? something? something? in the year 1835 thats the best I can do on the writing on the front page.

Antique 1828 Robinson Crusoe Book Rush P. Cady Gettysburg Civil War Soldier
Here's an unusual offering. This is an 1828 leather bound edition of Robinson Crusoe that was owned by Civil War Lt Rush P. Cady. Cady was a lieutenant in the 97th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment. Third Oneida; Boonville Regiment; Conkling Rifles) And he died at the Battle of Gettysburg. Rush P. Cady has signed this book in pencil on the first page, along with his town, Rome(NY) The Hamilton College Library has a collection of Lt. Cady's correspondence which you can access via Internet. Here's a link: This collection includes all kinds of interesting information about Lt. Cady including a letter to his father from his commanding officer describing his honorable actions and death at"Gettysburgh" There is also a detailed description of his funeral and even of his body: the features were quite natural. But betokened ... moremuch suffering. The book has some condition issues as pictured. Overall it looks good for a book of 185 years. But the cover is becoming separated from the spine and the spine has lost it's top layer(there is no title left on the spine) The pages have some spots of discoloration. There are many corners bent, as this is how Lt. Cady would mark where he left off in his reading. It is a small volume, we do not know if Lt. Cady took it to war with him, but the book came from an estate that contained several of his personal items that he used in adulthood, and he died at age 22, so it seems quite possible. Please contact me with any questions or comments. Thanks!

1887 UNCLE TOM'S CABIN Negro Slavery Black Americana Civil War Antique Book RARE
1887 UNCLE TOM'S CABIN === ILLUSTRATED EDITION === ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ T his auction is for an original 1887 EDITION! of" UNCLE TOM'S CABIN" by Harriet Beecher Stowe. YOU'LL LOVE THIS BOOK! I t is dominated by a single theme: the evil and immorality of slavery. Stowe emphasizes the horrors of slavery on almost every page of the novel while also asserting that Christian love can overcome something as destructive as the enslavement of fellow human beings. U nlike the 1852 1st edition. Published by John P. Jewett& Company in two separate volumes, this edition contains VOL. 1& 2 combined into one book. I t is beautifully illustrated with over 106 ILLUSTRATIONS! U pon publication. Uncle Tom's Cabin ignited a firestorm of protest from defenders of slavery(who created a number of books in response to the ... morenovel) while the book elicited praise from abolitionists. Southern reactions ranged from forcing a bookseller in Mobile. Alabama to leave town for selling the novel to sending threatening letters to Stowe herself(including a package containing a slave's severed ear) The novel had a profound effect on attitudes toward African Americans and slavery in the United States, so much so in the latter case that the novel intensified the sectional conflict leading to the American Civil War. The book also helped create a number of stereotypes about Blacks, many of which endure to this day. These include the affectionate, dark-skinned mammy; the Pickaninny stereotype of black children; and the Uncle Tom, or dutiful, long-suffering servant faithful to his white master or mistress. In recent years, the negative associations with Uncle Tom's Cabin have. To an extent, overshadowed the historical impact of the book as a"vital antislavery tool. In the first year of publication, 300,000 copies of Uncle Tom's Cabin were sold. The book eventually became the best-selling novel in the world during the 19th century(and the second best-selling book after the Bible) With the book being tr

1865 U.S. CONSTITUTION & DECLARATION of INDEPENDENCE Book CIVIL WAR-ERA Antique
Up for auction is a very rare edition of the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES and the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. Published in Boston by Taggard& Thompson. No copyright date, but the last amendment in the book is the Thirteenth Amendment, which was ratified in 1865 and abolished slavery. The Fourteenth Amendment was not ratified until 1868. This publisher was active during this period, and I imagine this small pocket-sized copy of the Constitution and Declaration was published on the occasion of the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment, an event recently chronicled in the film, LINCOLN. Most likely published in 1865, and certainly not after 1868. An edition similar to this was published by Taggard& Thompson and dated 1865; it featured the title"Charter of American Liberty" on the front cover instead of the design found ... morehere. It also went up only until the 13th Amendment. Constitution runs 36 pages. And Declaration runs 12. Bound in dark brown cloth with copper-stamped title on front cover flanking a winged eagle holding a ribbon which reads, E PLURIBUS UNUM. Identical image blind-stamped on rear. A small book, that measures 3-1/2 x 5-1/2. Cloth on spine wearing away, but all intact, and hinges firm. No writing inside. Overall in GOOD PLUS condition. Very rare. The E PLURIBUS UNUM design suggests that this was published either before the end of the Civil War or shortly thereafter. Good luck! Powered by

YOU'LL APPRECIATE THIS BOOK! I t condemns the institution of slavery. Advocating the notion that slavery hurt the economic prospects of non-slaveholders, and was an impediment to the growth of the entire region of the South. T he author. Helper. As proud a Southerner as anyone could be, begged and pleaded his fellow citizens of the South to read this book. The South being his birth place and his home, and his ancestors residing there for over a century, he hoped that his fellow Southerners would read it and reflect upon it as he put it out there: an honest and faithful endeavor to treat a subject of enormous import, without rancor or prejudice, ... moreby one who had a deep seated hope that the Flag of Freedom would fly triumphantly alike"over the valleys of Virginia and the mounds of Mississippi. H elper claims that slavery actually hurts the Southern economy overall(by preventing economic development and industrialization) And is the main reason why the South has progressed so much less than the North(according to the results of the 1850 census and other verifiable factual measures) since the late 18th century. H elper did not take what he considered to be an ineffectually sentimental or moralistic abolitionist approach. As seen in Uncle Tom's Cabin, and instead tried to use hard facts to convince readers of the wrongs of slavery. D edicated to the"non-slaveholding whites" of the South. This book might have passed unnoticed if Northern opponents of slavery had not reprinted it, leading to a furor in parts of the South, where authorities banned its possession and distribution and burned copies that could be seized. B etween 1857 and 1861 nearly 150.000 copies of the book were circulated, and in 1860 the Republican party distributed it as a campaign document. T he success of"The Impending Crisis"

1896 UNCLE TOM'S CABIN Negro Slavery Civil War BLACK AMERICANA Antique Book RARE
UNCLE TOM'S CABIN A TALE OF LIFE AMONG THE LOWLY* HARRIET BEECHER STOWE* T his auction is for an original ca. 1896 edition of" UNCLE TOM'S CABIN" by the wonderful Harriet Beecher Stowe. With NEW ILLUSTRATIONS. Published by The Sunday School Union of London. YOU'LL TRULY APPRECIATE THIS BOOK! U ncle Tom is an enduring icon even today because he was drawn. Painted, and inscribed in prints; he was embodied onstage, in photographs, and in motion pictures; his representation was continually refitted to changing social, political, and economic strategies of mainstream America. W hen Uncle Tom's Cabin; or. Life among the Lowly was first published in 1852. No one—least of all its author, Harriet Beecher Stowe—expected the book to become a sensation. But this antislavery novel took the world by storm. It was to become the ... moresecond best-selling book in the world during the nineteenth century, second only to the Bible, and it touched off a flurry of criticism and praise. S towe had written the novel as an angry response to the 1850 passage of the Fugitive Slave Law. Which punished those who aided runaway slaves and diminished the rights of fugitive as well as freed slaves. Hoping to move her fellow Americans to protest this law and slavery in general, Stowe attempted to portray"the institution of slavery just as it existed. Indeed, Uncle Tom's Cabin was nearly unique at the time in its presentation of the slaves' point of view. S everal stories intertwine throughout Uncle Tom’s Cabin. But they all center on two main plots. One plot focuses on the Harris family, the other on Uncle Tom. S towe's novel tells the stories of three slaves— Tom, Eliza. And George—who start out together in Kentucky. But whose lives take different turns. Eliza and George, who are married to each other but owned by different masters, manage to escape to free territory with their little boy, Harry. Tom is not as fortunate. M r. Shelby was a considerate master. But he m

1886 UNCLE TOM'S CABIN Black Americana SLAVERY African US Civil War ANTIQUE BOOK
1886 UNCLE TOM'S CABIN === NEW EDITION === T his auction is for an original 1886 EDITION of" UNCLE TOM'S CABIN" by Harriet Beecher Stowe. Y OU'LL LOVE THIS BOOK! I t is dominated by a single theme: the evil and immorality of slavery. Stowe emphasizes the horrors of slavery on almost every page of the novel while also asserting that Christian love can overcome something as destructive as the enslavement of fellow human beings. U nlike the 1852 1st edition. Published by John P. Jewett& Company in two separate volumes, this special NEW EDITION! contains VOL. 1& 2 combined into one book. U pon publication. Uncle Tom's Cabin ignited a firestorm of protest from defenders of slavery(who created a number of books in response to the novel) while the book elicited praise from abolitionists. Southern reactions ranged ... morefrom forcing a bookseller in Mobile. Alabama to leave town for selling the novel to sending threatening letters to Stowe herself(including a package containing a slave's severed ear) The novel had a profound effect on attitudes toward African Americans and slavery in the United States, so much so in the latter case that the novel intensified the sectional conflict leading to the American Civil War. The book also helped create a number of stereotypes about Blacks, many of which endure to this day. These include the affectionate, dark-skinned mammy; the Pickaninny stereotype of black children; and the Uncle Tom, or dutiful, long-suffering servant faithful to his white master or mistress. In recent years, the negative associations with Uncle Tom's Cabin have. To an extent, overshadowed the historical impact of the book as a"vital antislavery tool. In the first year of publication, 300,000 copies of Uncle Tom's Cabin were sold. The book eventually became the best-selling novel in the world during the 19th century(and the second best-selling book after the Bible) With the book being translated into every major language. Uncle Tom's Cabin sold equally well in Eng
