Description:
240 pp. Small 8vo, cont. calf, double gilt fillet round sides, spine gilt. London: A. Millar, 1755. Second edition; the first edition appeared earlier in the same year. This was clearly a very popular work with a Dublin edition also of 1755. "The first 100 pages of this book comprise an appeal to gentlemen to farm their estates as a reputable and profitable occupation, and not to leave the business to the meanest of the people who are not only unable to make improvements but unwilling even to hear of them. He appeals to classical authority and to many of the English farming writers who preceded him. To clinch the argument he proceeds to prove how profitable a business farming is, by giving specimen costings in which he estimates yields at 30 bushels wheat, 30 bushels barley, and 30 bushels peas, certainly much higher than the national average at that date, though possible in occasional years, and some situations. He mentions some of the new crops and a rather ingenious barrel churn, the…

Typographical device on title. Printed throughout in black letter. 11, [1] leaves. Small 4to, fine modern blue morocco, dentelles gilt, a.e.g. London: T. Purfoote, the assigne of R. Tottill, 1588.<p>Fourth edition of one of the earliest English books of "secrets," or manual of practical arts; this text appears to be entirely of English origins. It was first published in 1573 and reprinted in 1581 and 1583; there were also editions of 1596 and 1605. All editions are very scarce; of this printing the NSTC (24255) records five copies: L18, O; F, PN, NY Metropolitan Museum. <P>This is a very early English manual of instructions for painting and illuminating ("limming," or "limning"), particularly books and manuscripts.

Description:
Many illus., mostly in black but some in red, pink, gray, green, yellow, blue, etc. Ca. 1821 folding leaves of text. 1083 chapters in 50 parts in 54 vols. (parts 14 & 15 in one vol., parts 24, 34, 42, & 47 in two vols. each, plus one vol. of table of contents). 8vo (266 x 188 mm.), orig. blue wrappers, orig. manuscript labels on each upper wrapper, new stitching. [Probably Kyoto: written in 1690 & this is a mid-Edo copy]. A rare and extremely important text, finely illustrated and complete in 50 parts; it remained unpublished until 1936. WorldCat lists no copy of this manuscript in North America (the NYPL's copy is a microfilm). This "monumental fifty-volume work of encyclopedic nature on gagaku" (Fukushima & Nelson), was written by Suenao Abe (1622-1708), a 17th-generation specialist performer on the hichiriki (a double-reed flute). Gagaku refers to all traditional court music of Japan. The word is written in Japanese with two Chinese characters that signify "elegant music." Its origins are…

Description:
Two parts in one vol. 25, 13 folding leaves. 8vo (198 x 135 mm.), orig. wrappers (rubbed), old stitching. [Japan]: at the beginning of each part & on final leaf (in trans.): "Oyo [today, Nagoya] retired doctor Tokei [or] Tokoku Yoshida copied 6 June 1767." The first part provides a detailed explanation of the theory and practice of acupuncture, concentrating on 28 different ways to use the needle. At the end of this part, there is a most interesting discussion of Zi Wu Liu zhu [The Midnight-Noon Ebb-Flow Acupuncture Method], which is used as a theoretical guide to determine whether the meridian is open at a particular moment. The second part contains descriptions of 36 common illnesses (sexually transmitted diseases, paralysis, headache, heart disease, contagious diseases, ulcers, various pains, fevers, children's diseases, gynecological illnesses, insanity, etc.), their symptoms, appropriate pressure points for treatment, and application of the needle (shallow or deep, etc.).

Description:
Many small brush & black ink drawings in the margins throughout. 111 folding leaves. 8vo (232 x 157 mm.), later patterned wrappers, new stitching. [Japan]: (in trans.): "copied by Tanaka on 29 January 1830." The index on the first two pages describes the arrangement of the manuscript: by sections of the body. These include the upper section (head, eyes, nose, teeth, throat, and lungs), middle section (heart, abdomen, hips), and lower section (urinary tract, large intestine, rectum, and legs). This is followed by one page describing treatments, which are either fast-acting or long-term. There is a further division of treatments for women (including reproductive organs), children, and skin diseases (which include contagious diseases and cancer). Next we have the main text, which gives a series of approximately 450 case histories and general diagnoses and treatments, arranged by symptom. Within each case history or diagnosis, the following information is given: symptoms, references to either medical…

Description:
Two brush & ink drawings in the text. 89 folding leaves. 8vo (190 x 127 mm.), orig. wrappers (wrappers somewhat frayed), orig. stitching. [Japan?: mid-Edo]. A most interesting and extensive manuscript on acupuncture and moxibustion, divided into seven parts. Based on WorldCat and Kyoto University's manuscript with the same title, we can attribute the authorship of these texts to Chishin Tanaka, a physician of the early Edo period. The first four parts ("East," "West," "South," "North"; 17, 17, 25, 12 leaves, respectively) are devoted to general principles of acupuncture and moxibustion. In each of these parts, many symptoms and case histories are described in great detail along with their treatments through acupuncture and moxibustion. There are guides to locate the pressure points. Part Five (eight leaves) is devoted to female illnesses and their treatment. Menopause, vaginal discharges, irregular menstruation, breast cancer, difficulties during pregnancy and childbirth, abortion, etc., are all…

At the end is a list of 45 pressure points that should not be touched, followed by two full-page images of the body, front and back, with names of pressure points. These are followed by 354 pressure points, arranged into groups. Each group is connected to a specific organ. Good copy.
