From the library of Admiral George Henry Preble with his signature; another ownership signature of D.W.C. Clarke. First editions of the complete set of pamphlets published by the Loyal Publication Society, whose purpose was to publish and distribute material "of unquestionable loyalty throughout the United States . . . in the army and navy, and in hospitals, thus to diffuse knowledge and stimulate a broad national patriotism, and to aid in the suppression of the Rebellion by the extinction of its causes, and in the preservation of the integrity of the Nation, by counteracting the efforts of the advocates of a disgraceful and disintegrating peace."

Description:
Albany: Croswell, Barnum & Van Benthuysen, 1826. Disbound. Stained and foxed. First edition. In 1814, Columbia University Medical School merged into the College of Physicians and Surgeons, a move that was made in an attempt to stymie what was then seen as a period of decline for the medical school. By the date of this report, there was widespread feuding between professors and trustees. The Regents appointed a committee to visit the College and to make a report to the legislature on means of correcting the situation. This is their report! OCLC locates 2 copies (Library of Congress and New York Academy of Medicine).

Description:
London: W. Strahan, etc., 1770. FIRST EDITION. With 27 engraved plates (14 folding) and six folding printed tables. Contemporary marbled boards, rebacked at a later date with later endpapers. Perforated stamp of Hill Library Saint Paul on each title page and small stamp on verso; generally a very good copy. First edition. Young here shows his pragmatic nature and gifts of critical observation while providing realistic statistical information. One of his many outings to survey the agricultural lands of his native England, he travels over 2500 miles to the northern boundary of the country collecting statistical data from farms of all sizes. Young includes statistics regarding crop rotations, the implements used, cost of labor and provisions, size of farms, number of men and oxen and horses employed. He does not, however, provide detailed analysis, allowing farmers to use the information for their own individual situations. "The best way of learning about farming was to go out into the countryside and… Read More
