    Copy of "E. NOTT, M.D.", with his bookplate on the front pastedown. (The "HOMEOPATHIC MEDICAL SOCIETY OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY" elected E. NOTT, M.D. as a member in 1869.)

    There is an interesting handwritten comment in the margin at the bottom of page 39, the page where Digitalis Purpurea is discussed and its virtues extolled. The marginalia reads: "A friend of mine was killed by Digitalis, administered to subdue his pulse. It brought on mania, characterized by self accusations, and he died miserably." Wonder if it was written by E. Nott, M.D.?

    FAIR condition, the covers have a bit of chipping at the ends but remain sturdy with bright gilt on the front cover; internally, the endpapers are browned, there is waterstaining to the margins of the first few pages, there is foxing throughout, there is a handwritten margin comment as noted above. and the leaf consisting of pages 47/48 has a large hole in its center and related scraping affecting text; despite its flaws, a complete copy of this rare 1843 second American Edition.

    COPY of AUGUSTINE C. HAUB, with her signature and "Boston / Mass. / Oct. 12, '91" handwritten on a blank prelim.

    About AUGUSTINE CHRISTINE HAUB (from Woman's Medical Journal - A Monthly Journal Published in the Interests of Women Physicians, August, 1914):

    ******Dr Augustine Catherine Haub died November 13, 1913, at her place of residence on Beacon Street in Boston after a painful illness of nine months. She was 33. She was born in Gold Hill, Nevada, September 19, 1870. She graduated from Boston University Medical School in 1893. She served as an intern [at the Massachusetts Homeopathic Hospital, Boston] the year after her graduation and showed a marked aptitude for surgical work. Her faithfulness to high ideals in her professional work gained for her a devoted clientele. She was fortunately the recipient of a considerable legacy from one of her patients in acknowledgment for unremitting devotion. Her parents are both living in Santa Rosa California.******

    Dr. Horace Packard, a noted homeopathic surgeon, gave an acknowledgement to Dr. Haub in his 1906 book on homeopathic surgery FIVE YEARS' WORK IN SURGERY: "Grateful acknowledgement is herewith expressed for laborious work in surgical tabulating by Dr. Augustine C. Haub..."

    STEWARDS MANUAL, 1904. History of Its Foundation, Aims and Purposes, Portraits and Biographies of Members, Famous Recipes and Instructions by Prominent Stewards.

    PUBLISHED by the STEWARDS ASSOCIATION OF NEW YORK CITY, Club Room, 49 East Twenty-Eighth Street, New York, 1904. FIRST EDITION.

    A guide to the organization and practices of New York Stewards. Includes a history of the Stewards Association of New York, its members, and the RECIPES and SERVING TIPS of some of New York's most prominent stewards.

    Hardcover book, red cloth covered boards, black title and design on the front cover (including the emblem of the Stewards Association of New York), 7x10.5 inches, 144 pages. Includes ads here and there throughout for items that Stewards at places such as the Ritz might need, e.g. Champagne, Vichy Water Spritzers, Porcelain Fine Tableware, etc.

    ASSOCIATION COPY: "George Pratchett / New York Stewards Association / N.Y.", is hand-written on the front free endpaper.

    LAID-IN is an official envelope of the Stewards Association of New York, with its printed emblem and address on the envelope's return address corner. The letter is postmarked 1903. It is addressed to "THE GORHAM MFG. CO. / Broadway & 19th Street / N.Y. / HOTEL DEPT." The Gorham Manufacturing Company was one of the largest American manufacturers of sterling and silverplate. GORHAM MANUFACTURING has an ad on page 3 of this 1904 book. The actual letter is lacking, so you'll just have to imagine the fancy silverware being ordered by a steward at a high-end fraternal members-only very exclusive New York club..

    Condition: The covers have spotting and are worn at the corner tips and spine ends, but are still doing their job well; the page edges are foxed (page edges of the closed book); internally the pages are nice, tight, bright, clean, clear and unmarked. A solid, presentable copy.

    RARE, ORIGINAL 1904 FIRST EDITION of the NEW YORK STEWARDS MANUAL. Quite special with the association to a New York Steward, and the laid-in 1903 Stewards Association of New York envelope addressed to Gorham Manufacturing.

    Softcovers, French flaps, 9.5x12 inches, 126 pages. Illustrated throughout.

    NEAR FINE condition, very lightly used, tight, bright, clean and unmarked.

    From the Jüdisches Museum's announcement of the exhibition (roughly translated by Google):

    ******The exhibition presents the Jewish coloring of the popular cultural medium of comics and its history with around 300 objects by over 45 artists. Represented, with many original drawings, are old masters such as Will Eisner, Joe Shuster, Jerry Siegel and Harvey Kurtzman and contemporary artists such as Art Spiegelman, Rutu Modan and Ben Katchor.

    Not only Superman was penned by Jewish illustrators - Batman, Spiderman and other heroes of the time were also. Ever since the comic strip was created in the immigrant neighborhoods of New York, Jewish artists have played a crucial role in the development of this medium.

    In the post-war period, Harvey Kurtzman founded a new self-ironic style with MAD Magazine: biting satires on politics and everyday bourgeois life and satires on well-known comic heroes shaped an entire generation of comic artists.

    In the 1970s, Will Eisner and Art Spiegelman expanded the sequential art form. With their graphic novels, they opened up a new way to narrate historical material and autobiographical memory and helped comics gain literary recognition.

    This exhibition by the Jewish Museum Berlin was created in collaboration with the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire du Judaïsme in Paris and the Joods Historisch Museum in Amsterdam.******

    About O.S. FOWLER (from Wikipedia):

    ******Orson Squire Fowler, b.1809 d.1887, was an American phrenologist and lecturer. He also popularized the octagon house in the middle of the nineteenth century.

    With his brother Lorenzo Niles Fowler, he opened a phrenological office in New York City and soon they became the foremost proponents of phrenology in the United States. Orson wrote and lectured on phrenology, preservation of health, popular education and social reform.

    O.S. Fowler held forth for the equality for women at a time when women had virtually no legal rights, championed children's rights at a time when child labor was widespread, and through his publications called for the end of slavery which he called a "monstrous evil".

    HOWEVER, MANY OF HIS PHRENOLOGICAL BELIEFS WERE ABHORRENT and were used to justify slavery and advance a belief in African-American inferiority. Based on his phrenological views, Fowler wrote that coarse hair correlated with coarse fibers in the brain, and indicated coarse feelings that, he wrote, suggested people of African descent had poor verbal skills and traits that were best suited for nursing children or waiting on tables. Fowler was also known to be antisemitic.

    Fowler was a teetotaler and vegetarian. He promoted a vegetarian diet in his book Physiology: Animal and Mental and was vice-president of the American Vegetarian Society in 1852. He defended animal rights and opposed the slaughter of animals. His magazine The American Phrenological Journal also supported vegetarianism.******

    About ALBERT M. BENDER (from Wikipedia):

    ******Albert Maurice Bender (born Dublin 1866 died San Francisco 1941) was a German-Irish-American art collector who was one of the leading patrons of the arts in San Francisco in the 1920s and 1930s. HE PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN THE EARLY CAREER OF ANSEL ADAMS and was one of Diego Rivera's first American patrons. By providing financial assistance to artists, writers, and institutions, he had a significant impact on the cultural development of the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.

    A lover of literature from an early age, Bender began collecting rare books and helped create the Book Club of California in 1912. Inspired by his cousin Anne Bremer, a professional artist, Bender began collecting art,

    Bender enjoyed giving things away even more than he liked acquiring them, and he became a prolific donor to Bay Area museums and libraries. Beginning in 1932 he donated 260 pieces of art to the National Museum of Ireland in memory of his mother. He gave important collections of rare books and fine printing to Mills College, Stanford University, the University of California, and the San Francisco Public Library. Stanford University has a Bender Room in its library.

    Bender helped launch the career of many artists and photographers, including Ansel Adams. He financed the publication of Adams's first portfolio (Parmelian Prints of the High Sierras, 1927) and his first book (Taos Pueblo, with author Mary Hunter Austin, 1930).******
