G. Schmidt, 2004-01-01. Hardcover. Very Good. Jacket has wear to edges, light soiling, binding tight, inside cover has a book plate, internally clean. This is the first printed English translation of the first book on optometry. By writing his book in 1623, Daza de Valdés became the father of current-day optometrists. He explains how to measure the strength of the eye in form of a Platonic dialog between two friends - one nearsighted, the other farsighted - and an optical practitioner who advises them what to do to overcome their visual problems.Other chapters deal with the optical explanation of the working mechanism of lenses for visual perception. All his explanations are illustrated by straightforward drawings, making optic theories accessible to seventeenth century readers.Publication details: Book. 2004. vii and 281 pages. Publication date: 2004.ISBN: 978-90-6299-458-8 (ISBN 10: 90-6299-458-X; Wayenborgh Publishing)This publication is part of the History of Ophthalmology - The Monographs series.

Description:
1852 softcover pamphlet discussing the downside of tobacco. When I got this the cover was off. Volume has had some restoration: cover is backed with matching paper and is reattached. Paper and binding are fragile but overall readable with a gentle touch. Primary defect is the corner off the front page. Interior has foxing and stains but no vandalism. I think the author comes out of the same group that published Solomon Spittle (which I also have listed). 1852 is the first year this was published but this is titled "Fourth Thousand" so this is an early printing. Has 8 plates that are included in pagination. 179 pages, complete as issued. An uncommon item generally found in poor condition. This is decent not great (which sometimes is the best you can do). Topic is health problems of tobacco. Discusses addiction, acute toxicity, chronic health problems including heart and lung disease as well as problems of second hand smoke. Feel free to inquire. Please see scans of the book you will receive.

Description:
Paris,: Chez l'Auteur; Durant et Didot,, 1780.. 2 works in one volume: iv, 320, [iv,approbation]; 90, [iv, approbation] pp. Small 8vo (10,5 x 17,5 cm.). Contemporary half dark brown calf, spine richly gilt decorated "á la grotesque", gilt lettered red Morocco label (small tear [ca. 3 cm.] in the gutter of the front side). A nice copy of the first edition of both works. There are 4 later editions, the last in 1805. The author, "ancien chirurgien-major de la Marine" was a great advocate of catheterisation. According to a contemporary review, the work on urology has some interesting point of views, but written in a horible style. In both work Guérin strongly oposite quackery and urge the public not to deal with charlatans. Rare. Hirsch II, 688; Dezeimeris II/1, 656; Wellcome III, 175.

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…
