- Used
- very good
- Hardcover
Genova: Pietro Giovanni Calenzani, 1659. Octavo, pp (4), 236, intermittent browning and light foxing, otherwise tight and sound internally, contemporary vellum, age-toned and a little marked. The front endpaper bears a label identifying this copy as from the cookery collection of John Hodgkin FLS. A scarce edition - an early note on the endpaper, possibly by Hodgkin, comments that it is not mentioned in the bibliographies of Drexel or Vicaire. [John Hodgkin FLS was born in Birmingham in 1857, the son of John Eliot Hodgkin and Sarah Ransome. In 1881, he was living with his parents in Richmond, Surrey and working as an analyst for a medical firm. In 1889 he married Grace Stock and they had three sons. Like his father, John Hodgkin had a keen interest in bibliography. He assembled a notable collection of books on the subject of cookery, some of which now form part of the Cookery Collection at Leeds University Library , along with his extensive notes on the bibliography of cookery and housekeeping, whilst others are at Wellcome. He died in 1930, after which his collection was sold and dispersed. The Trattato of Baldassarre Pisanelli (doctor in Bologna and Rome, died around 1587) had great success between the fifteenth and seventeenth century thanks to its simple structure and ease of consultation. Dedicated to Guglielmo Gonzaga, Duke of Mantova and Monferrato, the dietary treaty contains good eating tips and takes into account many foods present on the tables of the lords (fruit, vegetables, aromatic herbs, cereals and legumes, meat, fish, milk and dairy products, wine). The treatise lists the main characteristics of each food (elettione), the benefits, the potential damages, the remedies, the grades, the best consumption time (etadi complessioni); in addition, Pisanelli writes on the right pages a brief historia naturalis of each food, with interesting curiosities on the use of food. Noteworthy are the observations inspired by a hierarchical view of society: the tripe is a type of food for working hard people, young partridges have a damaging effect only on rustic people. Pork harms sensitive and lazy people, but is suitable for people who fatigues a lot; the best way to eat it is roasted with spices.Porchette usually eaten with great curiosity, should be avoided because harmful, but if the pig is of considerable age it will be a great source of nourishment. Hams and salamis stimulate appetite but should be eaten in moderation.]. Vellum. Very Good.

Description:
The book is in excellent condition. The pages are white, of high quality, and the book smells pleasant. One page has a small easily overlooked punch-rip. Binding is good. Hardcover is green with black trim and gold embossed author and title only on the spine.The Dust Jacket is ripped and taped and has some insect damage and torn corners.What makes this second 1933 edition book especially interesting, is that it is signed, small and unpretentious, in fine black ink by the author.The book is written in Czechoslovakian.The story is a Czechoslovakian version of "Robinhood" of sorts, a blend of fact and magical fiction of the mythical or legendary Nikola Suhaj, (depending on who you believe).The story takes place in Ruthenia, mostly after, but also during the First World War. This region is forgotten, and people here are very poor and their only livelihood is the forests, where they say God lives, witches cast spells, and there are enchanted places where even the wildlife won't go.

– Mark Twain, Diaries of Adam and Eve
Mark Twain's 'Diaries of Adam and Eve' are first-person memoirs that follow along from the beginning of creation, getting to know each other, and their final days on earth after 'the fall'.
'Adam's Diary', first published in 1904, was Twain's comedic and satirical take on the Book of Genesis. It was filled with illustrations by Strothmann; however, most of them were considered pornographic in nature when it was first published in the United States.

Description:
1858 London hardcover. First edition. Volume has undergone repairs: recased using original red boards with sympathetic new leather spine; new endpapers. Interior has moderate foxing, smudges and wear but nothing vandalized. Paginates: [6], (1)-239, errata slip plus 6 unpaginated plates. Complete as issued except for blanks. Numerous engravings in text. Uncommon true first. Please see images of the book you will receive. Notes: although classified as fiction what the author is doing is relating facts about recent world travels in a style designed to appeal to youth. Includes instruction on use of scientific instruments by travellers - an idea adopted not long after by The Royal Geographical Society in "Hints to Travellers" - so maybe this book is not 'juvenalia' as one might be led to believe.

"In this book, real life photos are used to help young people feel more comfortable with interacting with other children and making new friends. A Note From Fred Rogers: A child's first visit with a pediatrician usually comes soon after birth. It may be months or even years later, though, that a child first shows fear about going to see a doctor. The worry of an injection or some other unfamiliar medical procedure can trigger that fear. It can also appear because another family member may be feeling medical anxieties. And, of course, new body awareness and needs for privacy develop naturally in children's early years, so all these feelings can make it very hard for them to let doctors investigate the workings of…
