Beschreibung

First edition. 8vo. Frontispiece full-page engraving. xii, 214 pp. Illustrated with 14 plates. Beautifully rebound with modern leather, raised spinal bands and gilt title. Timothy Sheldrake, Jr ( the younger ) (1759-1806) was a trussmaker of some distinction whose practical experience won him the respect of several influential physicians including Hunter and Baille. He became a frequent contributor to The Lancet and was involved with fitting Lord Byron with a device for his lame foot. It is said that early on an imposter impersonating Sheldrake made Byron a useless appliance boot. Ex library (stamped on versos and title page). This is a tight, very good book. Scarce in the first edition. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 21231
