12mo, 31pp. Disbound. Apparently a serial publication, from the author's student years at Brown University, the entire output recorded as running through three numbers, although the American Antiquarian Society has also accessioned copies of #4 and #5. By the early 1840's, the author had settled into his professional career as physician, with a practice at 124 North Main Street, Providence. He had published in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, authored LECTURES ON DRUNKENNESS (1837) and AN ESSAY ON THE HUMAN COLOR (1845), which comprised an early anthropological essay on human pigmentation. His best known title was the popular and successful NEW ENGLAND POPULAR MEDICINE, which experienced four editions between 1848 and 1856. AMERICAN IMPRINTS 3237. SABIN 81669. See, also, ATWATER/HOOLIHAN 558-561.

Terms of sale
CWO, in U.S. funds. Libraries only may be billed. $ 8.95 Priority Mail postage and handling for the first volume: $5.00 for each succeeding volume. Foreign orders shipped via Global Priority Mail, flat rate at cost, or via Air Mail. Inquire, if uncertain, about the use of Global Priority on heavier books or multi-volume sets. If need be, telephone me at 1-(413)-773-5811, for clarifications. Because of the implemented EPR Registration protocols required on sales and shipments to France and Germany, I may soon be cancelling all orders to be sent to either of those two countries: the volume of sales made there in the course of a calendar year do not justify my spending the time and energy needed to register and possibly to pay the fees which shall likely follow.
Shipping terms
Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required.
