Beschreibung

A pleasing first edition copy of this fascinating biographical study of the renowned English physician and philanthropist John Coakley Lettsom. Lettsom was a quaker, physician and philanthropist known for his abolitionist stance on slavery for his founding of the 'Medical Society of London' in 1773. His life is described here in extensive detail by the physician James Johnston Abraham. Copiously illustrated throughout with in-text illustrations and full page plates, and a folding family tree facing page 448. In the publisher's original cloth binding with blind stamped design to front board and gilt stamped title to spine. Externally very smart, with slight bumping to extremities and head and tail of spine. Marking to board, more severe to rear boards. Front hinge split and strained after half title page, but reasonably firm. Bookseller's label tipped to front pastedown. Slight creasing to front free-endpaper. Internally firmly bound. Pages slightly age toned to extremities but very bright and clean throughout. Very Good Indeed. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 646M28
