Contemporary mottled calf, spine with raised bands into six compartments morocco lettering piece, title gilt. Provenance: Earl of Breadalbane (armorial bookplate) First edition of an important account of scientific efforts to improve the lives of sailors in the English Navy. Stephen Hales (1677-1761) was an English scientist and inventor who made lasting contributions to a range of scientific fields, including botany, physiology, and public health. He was also the first person to measure blood pressure. In this work he proposes lifesaving reforms on English Navy and merchant ships, investigates the distillation of sea-water for drinking, the protection of food from insects, and concludes with a discussion of methods for removing mud from harbors.

Trumansburg, NY: Out of Step Press. Fine with no dust jacket. 2016. Numbered Edition; First Printing. Pamphlet. The author's non-linear poem about the billeting of soldiers in civilian homes in wartime. Copy 89 of a limited edition of 250. Folded into the form of a letter, the work was letterpress printed in wraps of handmade "combat paper" made from military uniforms. The author says: "Some time ago-maybe a year, maybe two? I had a conversation with some of my Combat Paper brothers (well, the kids call them their combat paper uncles, so it follows…) that led to me writing the poem "Quartering." Which was informed by them, of course, and by all the rooms I'm in, and by imagining what is really required of all the caregivers I love. It's a thought experiment: if we tore down the barracks at military hospitals and offered incentives for Americans in the surrounding neighborhoods to quarter injured service members, what would the honest instructions…
