2010 Reprint of the 1942 edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Hardbound. Cloth, Oversized Octavo. 114 Pages with index. This important little book contains an account of the evolution of surgical instruments as illustrated by examples formerly in the museum of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. With Dr. Thompson as curator, this collection had grown to number about three thousand examples when early in 1941 a Nazi air raid destroyed a major portion of it. Dr. Thompson, from his intimate knowledge of the contents of the collection, has compiled this record. He traces the scapel from 330 B.C. up to the present time. The amputation knife from Susruta to Liston; and the story of the saw in 2700 B.C. The period from Trepan to Trephine covers almost two thousand years. Originally published in 1941, this book has become hard to find. Specialists currently ask circa $250 for the title. Special effort has been made to reproduce the illustrations contained in the original edition.

The History and Evolution of Surgical Instruments

Thompson, C.J.S.

Durer, Albrecht (1471-1528), German painter, printmaker, draughtsman and art theorist, is generally regarded as the greatest German Renaissance artist. His vast body of work includes alterpieces and religious works, numerous portraits and self-portraits, and copper engravings. His woodcuts, such as the Apocalypse series (1498), retain a more Gothic flavour than the rest of his work.  Born in Nurnberg as the third son of the Hungarian goldsmith,  Albrecht Durer began as an apprentice to his father in 1485, but his earliest known work, one of his many self portraits, was made in 1484. He died in Nürnberg in 1528.   Meder’s catalogue raisonne remains a standard work in the field.  It includes 294 entries, with descriptions in millimeters.  Inscriptions, states, and successive editions within individual states are described.  Paper, watermarks and print quality are also treated.  Riggs, The Print Council Index of Oeuvre-Catalogues, page 238.Cloth.  Oversized Octavo. xxiii, [1], 357 p. illus. (incl. coats of arms) LII plates. 29 cm. Originally published in Vienna: Gilhofer & Rauschburg, 1932

2014 Reprint of 1926 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. "Negro Workaday Songs" is the third volume of a series of folk background studies of which "The Negro and His Song" was the first and "Folk-Beliefs of the Southern Negro" was the second. So far as Odum was aware, none of the songs in this collection had been published and the songs were all sung or repeated by actual Black workers or singers and much of their value lies in the exact transcription of natural lines, words and mixtures. Odum intended his study of Black music as a series of pictures of the Black American as portrayed through his workaday songs. He has taken the position that these workaday songs, crude and fragmentary, and often having only local or individual significance, provide a more accurate picture of Negro working life than do conventional folk songs. Odum's book is also an important contribution to the history of the blues in America and a collector's item in that field.

Heawood's "Watermark" was originally issued in 1950 as the first of the Paper Publications Society's Monumenta and has proven to be one of the Society's most popular volumes. This no doubt has to do with the fact that it was the largest published collection of post-Briquet watermarks.
