In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. xii, [13]-267, [1] pp; 2 leaves of ads ("Popular Religious Books". Original cloth. Small circular ink stain on spine. Small tear in upper blank margin of xi/xii. Early bookplate of George D. Phelps. Very Good. First Edition. The "Delusions" in science treated by Reese are Animal Magnet…ism, Phrenology, Homoeopathy, Quackery, Ultra-temperance. Reese "graduated in medicine at the University of Maryland, March 26, 1819, his inaugural thesis being entitled 'De Mania Religiosa'. Settling in practice in Baltimore, he survived an epidemic of 'fever' which devastated the city, the first year of his practice. Then he used the epidemic as the title of his second literary venture, which appeared as a duodecimo pampphlet in 1819. Subsequently, he was appointed professor of the institutes of medicine and surgery in Washington University, Baltimore, and he held professorial chairs in the Albany Medical College. New York State, and in Castleton Medical College, Vermont. When he settled in New York City about the year 1834, he obtained the appointment of resident physician to Bellevue Hospital, and held it until 1849 when the office was abolished. In the year 1830 Dr. Reese brought out a new edition of Cooper's Surgical Dictionary', his most important literary undertaking, being the fifth and sixth London editions revised. He acted as editor of the seventh edition also, published by the Harpers in 1848. . . . He was a ready and fluent speaker, a good debater and familiar with parliamentary rules. As a writer, he wielded a vigorous pen and was something of a controversialist" (Kelly & Burrage, American Medical Biographies (2d ed.), p. 968. Who was George D. Phelps, the former owner of this? I cannot prove it, but a good possibility is this person: "George D. Phelps was a businessman, railroad executive, and officer for several charitable ventures. In addition to being a trustee for the Asylum for Friendless Boys, manager of the Protestant Half Orphan Asylum, and manager of the Demilt Dispensary all in New York City he also served as a director of the American Home Missionary Society and on an executive committee for the Southern Aid Society. He was also involved in the property and life insurance business in both Connecticut and New York City, and served as president of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company. He did well in his business ventures, amassing a personal estate worth $50,000 and another $110,000 in real estate by 1860. He was married three times over the course of his life. His first wife, Frances H. F. Randolph died in January 1831. He had at least two children with his second wife, Mary Ayres, before she died January 1844. His third wife, H. Augusta Ayres, outlived him." Kirtsos Historical Library of Homoeopathic Medicine no. 1680: "Early critical work of homoeopathy.".
