Busick Harwood: A Synopsis of a Course of Lectures on Anatomy and Physiology. Cambridge: Printed by F. Hodson, for J. and J. Merrill, 1787. First edition; vii, [1], 94, [4] pp. ESTC N23225. With a terminal blank followed by "Sceleti ossium catalogus," but without at least part of the vi pp. at end called for by ESTC; one preliminary leaf misbound but present; occasional contemporary pencil annotations, presumably in the hand of the owner who signed the title-page: "G. [or C.] Hunt. Trin. Coll. Cant. 1789." Rare, with ESTC locating only 3 copies (Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, Countway Library of Medicine, and Royal Australasian College of Physicians).

BOUND WITH:

[Sir William Smith, later Cusack-Smith:] The Anonymous. [Dublin: n.p.,] 1806-07. Folio (31 cm), 36 pp. The first nine issues (December 23rd, 1806 to February 12th, 1807) of this Irish satirical periodical. Very rare. We can find no other examples of original printings, only the later collected edition published by Cadell in London in 1810. The attribution of authorship is derived from a MS note on Harvard's copy of the later edition: "The author of this very clever series of essays was (to my personal knowledge) the late Baron Smith, and eminent Irish judge W.S."
