Pricey medical and literary works advertised in 18th century catalog
A dense advertisement lists medical treatises by Jesse Foote and others, and a curiously long bookseller notice for Henry Colburn. It promotes Foote’s surgery volumes, Home’s prostate observations, and a broad array of educational and scientific works, with prices and editions. It also touts a florid catalog of school books, encyclopedias, mathematics, natural history, botany, chemistry, and shorthand manuals from London publishers.
