Hailstone Samuel (3 results)

Hardback. Condition: Good+. First Edition. [3], 4-8, [1], 2-61pp, [1]. Modern marbled boards, paper title label to spine. Externally very good, internally some loss to fore-edge of title (not affecting text), lightly browned and lightly foxed throughout, but nothing too obtrusive. Hailstone had published earlier in the same year a pamphlet called 'A Dose for the Doctor; or, A Bitter Pill for George Mossman: Containing an Account of His Life and Adventures on this Side of the Tweed' (see Wellcome III:193), apparently exposing the lack of any medical qualifications for George Mossman. Mossman seemingly made an attempt at replying "but, instead of producing any evidence in support of these charges, he has the effrontery to bid me look back into his letters" (pages 1-2), and here is Hailstone's reply to Mossman's defence, noting that "whatever opinion the public may have of his medical knowledge, they will unanimously agree, that in one art, - the art of lying, he has made a very decent progress, and may rank with the most celebrated characters of the present age" (Page 60). Hailstone's attacks seemed to do little to affect Mossman's career however, "and he went on to write several acclaimed essays and journal articles, and became Bradford's most popular and revered physician" (Alvin, 'A Title Acquired Without Labour: Dr George Mossman, MD (1763-1824)'). ESTC T122216, uncommon, with only four locations (BL, Cam, York, and U.S. National Library of Medicine) Size: 8vo. Pamphlet.…
