Franck, Richard Northern Memoirs, calculated for the Meridian of Scotland wherein most or all of the Cities, Citadels, Sea Ports, Castles, Forts, Fortresses, Rivers and Rivulets are compendiously described … To which is added, the Contemplative and Practical Angler, by way of Diversion. With a Narrative of that Dextrous and Mysterious Art Experimented in England, and perfected in more Remote and Solitary Parts of Scotland. By way of Dialogue. Writ in the Year 1658, but not till now made Publick. London: for the author. To be sold by Henry Mortclock, 1694. First edition, 8vo (16.8 x 11cm), xxxix 304 pp., 19th-century green crushed morocco by Francis Bedford, spine richly gilt in compartments, French fillet border gilt to covers, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt [Westwood & Satchell pp. 100-101] The Library of a Scottish Gentleman A rare and noted oddity of 17th-century travel writing and angling literature, containing the first description of salmon-fishing in Scotland, a ‘pioneering account of fly-fishing for trout’ (ODNB), and a now notorious passage relating the author's confrontation with Izaak Walton at Stafford over Walton's assertion in The Compleat Angler of the parthenogenesis of pike from pickerel weed. Richard Franck (c.1624-1708) has been plausibly identified as a parliamentarian cavalry officer who was stationed in Scotland with Thornhaugh's Nottinghamshire regiment during the 1650s. 'Northern Memoirs is a most unusual narrative, marked by Franck's eclectic interests and given ripe flavour by his often highly colourful judgements. In the first instance it is possible to take this simply as a generally appreciative assessment of the people, landscape, and heritage of Scotland not inconsistent with the growing body of travel literature on that country over the next 100 years which would culminate in the acute observations of Thomas Pennant and Samuel Johnson … Franck is also, somewhat incongruously, an enthusiastic angler. Observations on local aquatic life and recondite disputes about fishing techniques intrude so frequently as to unbalance the narrative, creating a sense that Franck, with probably a very limited formal education, possessed little or no intellectual discipline' (ibid.)

Snow, John On the Mode of Communication of Cholera London: John Churchill, 1855. 8vo (23 x 15cm), second edition (preferred and greatly expanded edition, the first with the famous Broad Street Pump map), 2 folding lithographed maps by Cheffins, the second in colour, letterpress tables, without publisher's catalogue, original blind stamped ripple-grained purple cloth, lacking spine, old bookplate of the Dundee Free Library to paste-down endpaper, small library stamp and catalogue number in ink to title-page, small stamps to front and reverse of each map and to final page, small hole to front-free endpaper, 16cm closed tear to Broad Street Pump map with no loss, small closed tear to the second map, a little foxing and some dust-soiling  As a young apprentice surgeon and medical student in the 1830s in Newcastle upon Tyne, John Snow attended to cholera sufferers at the Killingworth Colliery. The disease, which thanks to Snow’s research, we now know is spread through consuming contaminated food and water, piqued the young doctor’s interest and inspired his later studies.By 1844, Snow had relocated to London and graduated university with a degree in medicine. He was admitted as a member of the Royal College of Physicians in 1850 and was present in the city for both the Soho cholera outbreaks of 1849 and 1854. 1850s Soho was a somewhat unsanitary place to live – cesspits beneath homes were common, as the city’s sewer system had not yet reached the area. The 1854 cholera outbreak was the third of its kind in the area within the space of 25 years and it was clear that there was a severe health problem in the area. The medical community – including the General Board of Health – generally agreed at the time that illness was caused by miasma, however Snow suspected differently. He had published his first edition of On the Mode of Communication of Cholera in 1849, arguing against ‘bad air’ as a cause of cholera. In 1854, Snow began to further his epidemiological research, with the help of Reverend Henry Whitehead, by simply speaking with the residents of Soho and recording his findings.John Snow mapped the cholera deaths in the area. He discovered that most of the deaths were in the vicinity of Broad Street and the key factor which linked them all was access to the local water pump. His careful mapping and convincing argument persuaded the council that the contaminated water (from a nearby cesspit) was the cause of the disease, and the subsequent disabling of the pump vastly reduced the number of affected patients. Snow’s On the Mode of Communication of Cholera was published in second edition, much enlarged and with the crucial addition of maps, including that of the Broad Street pump contamination area. The work can be considered one of the founding texts of modern epidemiology and has undoubtedly saved thousands of lives.
