Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good-. First Edition Thus. 8vo; xi, (1), 289 pages; Secure in original green cloth binding with entirely faded gilt lettering at spine; a bit of damp ripple to lower edge of leaves (no adhesion) and tide marks at bottom of the dark green endpapers; still a decent example with the ownership stamp and a few pencil annotations by the historian J.C. Furnas. OCLC 457390253 Unusually, this example of Freeman's Some Impressions of the U.S. has a preliminary leaf bound in with the title Lecture to American Audiences with the imprint of Porter and Coates, Philadelphia. Interesting conversation between the author and an American professor regarding "Where do you write your works?" Freeman replies "In my own house, to be sure." The American professor replies "[but] you can't have the rare books and curious manuscripts; you must be always going to the British Museum?" Freeman: "all the important books for my period were printed, I had them all around me in my own not wonderfully large library, it was the rarest thing for me in writing my history to need a book that was not in my library, . I had never in my life made use of the British Museum library, and not very often the Bodlein." Furnas provides the comment "Amazes me, too!" in the margin. PROVENANCE: Most recently from the collection of J. C. Furnas (Joseph Chamberlain Furnas), author of The Americans: A Social History of the United States, 1587-1914 and of How America Lives, with his stamp on titlepage. This book was likely source material for Furnas' own works. Front pastedown endpaper bears the heraldic bookplate [Firmus et Fidelis] of James D[avid] Marwick (1826-1908), a Scottish lawyer, historian and town clerk. He served as Town Clerk of Glasgow for thirty-one years, during which time the entire city was transformed. Its powers and amenities were improved by by-laws and Acts of Parliament, and Marwick directed the city of Glasgow's development for much of the second half of the 19th century. Marwick was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1864. He received the degree of LL.D. from Glasgow University in 1878. The Freedom of the Burgh of Kirkwall was conferred on him later, and in 1888, on the occasion of her visit to the first Glasgow Exhibition, Queen Victoria gave him a knighthood, this being the first time a municipal officer in Scotland was so honoured.

Issued without a dust jacket. -- Symposium on Clinical Frontiers in Reconstructive Microsurgery provides a foundational technical record of the surgical innovations that defined the transition of microsurgery from experimental research to a standard clinical discipline. Published during the 'golden era' of microvascular surgery, this volume synthesises the findings of international pioneers, including Harry J. Buncke, widely regarded as the father of the field. The text addresses the primary challenges of early free tissue transfer, focusing on the refinement of microvascular anastomosis and the survival of complex composite grafts. The content is structured around the most significant anatomical regions and surgical applications of the period. Technical chapters detail the 'workhorse' flaps that remain central to reconstructive surgery today, including the radial forearm, latissimus dorsi, and groin flaps. A significant portion of the work is dedicated to digit and limb replantation, exploring the physiological prerequisites for successful revascularisation and the management of crush injuries. Further sections examine pioneer work in toe-to-hand transplantation and the use of the free omental flap for scalp and facial contouring. The volume also investigates the use of microvascular bone transfer for mandible and long-bone reconstruction, alongside early applications in breast reconstruction and facial reanimation. This book serves as a primary source for the fundamental techniques and anatomical mappings that underpin modern plastic surgery. While technologies such as supermicrosurgery and robotic assistance have since emerged, the principles of vessel handling, tension-free repair, and flap design outlined here remain technically accurate and clinically valid. For the practising surgeon, it provides a rigorous look at the 'pedigree' of current procedures, offering insights into the original decision-making processes of the masters of the craft. It remains a vital reference for medical historians and residents seeking a deep understanding of the anatomical basis of reconstructive medicine. Areas of interest: microvascular anastomosis, free flap surgery, replantation, surgical history.
