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 was ahead of his time in recognizing and describing the three basic factors of wound pathology ... 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. The remainder of the work's publication was supervised by Matthew Baillie and Evard Home" (Norman).

This union proved stormy, however, nearly ending in divorce in 1582.

William III (King of England, 1650-1702). Fine contemporary manuscript document entitled 'An Establishment of their Majestys Guards, Garrisons and Land-Forces Commencing the First day of April 1692 In the Fourth Year of their Majestys Reign', manuscript in brown ink on 60 pages, written in a single scribal hand, borders and columns ruled in red throughout, leaf size 520 x 360 mm, with an additional double-page manuscript bound in at end, entitled 'Abstract of the accounts of all the Fonds given for the Service of the Warr in the Yeare 1694 Made up to the 14th day of November 1694', sheet edges folded in on three sides, single blank leaf at front and four blank leaves at end, contemporary full calf, with gilt armorial to centre of each cover of Charles Montagu, 1st Earl of Halifax (1661-1715), worn with covers detached, and spine partly defective, large folio (525 x 360 mm)QTY: (1)NOTE:Contemporary fine copy of the 'establishment book' of the English Army under William of Orange, for the wars against Louis XIV of France, made for Charles Montagu, 1st Earl of Halifax, an important supporter of King William, and Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1694.The manuscript volume lists daily and annual rates of pay, allowances, and rewards for the different ranks in the regiments of Guards, Footsoldiers and Horse and for companies of Miners, Pensioners and Grenadiers; the costs of numerous garrisons, 'Regulation of Fire and Candle' and the Establishments of the Dutch and Danish forces in William's service. It includes payments to 'Generall Officers and Contingencies' (the 'Generall of the Ffoot' is paid six pounds a day, the Paymaster-General one pound, and the Surgeon General 10 shillings). The annual budget for the six regiments of Horse is £123,808, and for one company of the Coldstream Regiment of Foot Guards, £1864-10-10.The continuation of the Anglo-French conflict overseas is reflected in the wages of a company of foot in the Leeward Islands, and two companies for New York. Among numerous other expenses are wages and clothing for a company of 150 Pensioners 'to do duty constantly at the Castle of Windsor', and for various quaintly named officers at the Tower of London including 'The Yeoman Porter for Oyle and Candle at the Gates', 'The Scavenger' and 'Gentleman Gaoler'. The total cost of the Land Forces in the Establishment Book amounts to £1,124,867-10-1 per annum, and of the Garrisons, £1,143,183-10-11.The early years of the reign of William and Mary witnessed a massive increase in military spending and William added to James II's standing army the English and Scottish regiments formerly in the Dutch service, the forces of the gentry who had sided with him in the Revolution of 1688, and the Irish regiments raised against Tyrconnel. He also retained some of his Dutch troops, and German and Danish forces for use in Flanders.Charles Montagu, 1st Earl of Halifax (1661-1715) was a signatory to the letter of invitation to William III, and took part in the rising in Northamptonshire in his favour. He entered parliament for Maldon from 1689 to 1695, and became one of the Clerks of the Privy Council. He was appointed a Lord of the Treasury in 1692 and became Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1694.

In May 1798 the French installed a printing press in Corfu, the first one to be known in modern Greece. 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.

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.
