He recognized the process of inflammation as one of the most widespread phenomena in pathology, and classified it into three types: adhesive, in which adherence of contiguous parts caused localization of disease; suppurative, in which pus was formed; and ulcerative, in which tissue loss occurred through the action of the lymphatics.

Hunter's treatise was the last work to be issued from his private press at Castle Street; 992 copies of the first edition were printed. Hunter was in poor health when the work went to press, and died after correcting only a third of the proofs.

'Champernowne belonged to one of Devon’s oldest gentry families, which had settled in the county during the twelfth century, and produced a knight of the shire in 1298. His grandfather, Sir Arthur, a younger son, acquired Dartington Hall in 1559, and sat for the nearby borough of Totnes in the second Elizabethan Parliament. Sir Arthur was a staunch Protestant who helped to suppress the 1549 Prayer Book rising and participated in Wyatt’s rebellion. During the French wars of religion he espoused the Huguenot cause, and married his heir Gawen to the daughter of one of its leaders. This union proved stormy, however, nearly ending in divorce in 1582. Gawen continued his father’s struggle against international Catholicism, fighting alongside his father-in-law in France, and providing one of the ships that sailed against the Spanish Armada…' (History of Parliament Online).

Following Napoleon’s abdication in 1814 Corfu came under the control of the British troops on 21 June and this book would seem to have been published shortly afterwards, using the French press. Only two copies of this edition have been located: The British Museum, suggesting the date 1814, and the National Army Museum, which apparently mistakenly giving the date as 1812, at a time when the island and printing press would have been under the control of the French.

London Underground. Beck (H. C.). Map of London's Underground Railways, (750M 1-33), 1st edition, Waterlow & Sons Ltd. London, Dunstable & Watford, 1933, colour photolithographic map of the London Underground in pocket format, the first edition of Beck's iconic map, old folds, list of 'theatres' and 'places of interest' to the verso, 160 x 225 mm, together with another five later editions of the same map (4th edition 1933, 1st edition 1935, 1st edition 1936, 2nd edition 1936 & 1st edition 1937), all with old folds and the same size, with thirteen further issues dating from 1938 to 1958, plus another nineteen examples from 1961 to 1979 and a further forty-nine examples from the 1970s to the early 2000s, and another 20 later editions and ephemera, all contained in a modern sleeved ring binder, plus a box containing approximately 210 further editions from the 21st century and approximately 90 publications and maps relating to London and London Transport, some duplicates, various sizes, good conditionQTY: (approx. 400)NOTE:The cover of this first edition states "A new design for an old map. We should welcome your comments”. A cautious and uncertain note for a map that was to become one of the most innovative and successful designs of all time. Beck's design was initially rejected when it was first presented to the Underground Group's Publicity Department in 1931 and the cover note reflects that they were still uncertain as to how the public would react to such a revolutionary representation.Beck was only 29 years old and temporarily employed as a draughtsman, but he understood that passengers didn't need a geographically accurate map whilst travelling underground and would simply need to know the sequence of stations and where to change. Beck abandoned geographical accuracy for schematic rules similar to those found on electrical circuit diagrams. It is a reflection on the genius of Beck's design that it has stood the test of time, becoming one of the world's most famous cartographic designs and profoundly changed the relationship between the travelling passenger and the city. For this transformational design - that would change transport mapping across the world - Beck was paid 10 guineas - the equivalent of a week's wages and London Transport had secured one of the greatest pieces of 20th-century cartography for little more than loose change.

After Frederic Remington, Silvered Bronze 'Bronco Buster' Inscribed on the sculpture "Henry Bonnard Foundry, New York, 1895 Cast". Numbered: (3/50). The Bronco Buster (originally named The Broncho Buster) was Remington's first sculpture, created over an eight to ten month period in 1895 when his full range of artistic ability was at its height. Derived from his previously published drawings and paintings, the rearing horse and rider was a revolutionary concept in American sculpture. It was a technical tour de force. with The Bronco Buster, Remington almost single handedly changed the course of Western American sculpture and the piece was met with such immediate and universal success that an entire page was devoted to it in the October 19, 1895 edition of Harper's Weekly. The Bronco Buster represents a human struggle to control nature, and has become a classic symbol of the American West. Stirred by action, Remington designed his sculptures to feature movement challenging the limits of the medium. Statue Dimensions: 22.5 x 18 x 10 in. Overall Dimensions: 40.5 x 20 x 14 in. Approx. Total Weight: 80 lbs (including stand)
