Beschreibung

49, [5] pp. Full page advert, at rear, for the "American Journal of Syphilography and Drematology", edited by Henry. 8vo. 9" x 6" From Henry's preface, "To the practitioner the minute details of treatment will be of especial interest and value; whie the numerous formulae (including about two hundred) afford a liberal choice in the management of these afflictions." Of interest in this particular copy is the light green printed bookseller label [1-1/2" x 1-11/16"] for "F. R. Wetmore & Co., / Booksellers / and / Stationers. / Yokohama, Japan" giving rise to the speculation that this English bookseller in Japan [Yokohama was not opened to foreign trade until 1859] would stock this title for visiting Western naval personnel, who battled the spread of venereal disease amongst their crew. Modest wear, spine a bit darkened. Bookseller label to front paste-down. Prior owner name stamp to t.p. [George R. Brush, a USN physician, 1861 - 1894]. A VG - VG+ copy of this work, which is uncommon in the trade. Original publisher's terra-cotta cloth binding with gilt stamped lettering to front cover. Brown clay paper eps.
