Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Many illustrators, including Sir John Gilbert, W. C. Stanfield, Ernest Crofts, and Jean Baptiste Eduoard Detaille (illustratore). 1st Edition. First Edition (SD, 'Published October 1914' ). 'With Illustrations From Famous Paintings.' The color pastedown illustration on the front cover is by N.C. Wyeth. The frontispiece by Jean Baptiste Eduoard Detaille. You can see the covers in the photos. They're in pretty nice shape, particularly taking into account that the book was published in 1914. Here are the cover imperfections (although you can see them in the photos, I like to practice redundancy): There is some smooth rubbing on the pastedown illustration. All smooth. There is a bump/indent at the top edge of the front cover, a little bit of the same at the middle of the front bottom edge, and another small indent a little to the right of that, beside the letter 'S'. There is another bump/dent at the front middle edge with a couple of small grooves, and the same is the case directly across on the front side of the spine. So the book has survived a few battles of its own, but clearly came out the winner. The gilt lettering on the spine is nicely bright (so is the black lettering on the front). There is a thin white vertical line of soiling on the spine. There's just a little bit of bending/crinkling wear at the spine ends. The rear cover looks very good. Isn't any rubbing at the top and middle edges, there's a little whitening at the rear bottom one. The corners are in solid shape with only a speck-sized bit of rubbing on a few. The page edges look quite clean, no conspicuous staining. Here's a very important thing-- given that the book runs a very thick 410 pages -- the book is square, the spine is straight, and the binding is very solid with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. To be published in 1914 and to be this thick, and to be in this genre and to be still be solidly bound, that's pretty good. The interior of the book is in quite decent condition. The first handful of pages have either one or two small tan spots. The frontispiece is in very nice shape. It is protected by a tissue guard that is also in very good shape. All of the illustrations, black-and-white and full-page (one is double-page) are protected by tissue guards which are in very good shape as well. All of the tissue guards have a printed title of the illustration. There are 14 illustrations in total, including the frontispiece. I went through and accounted for all of them, referencing the Illustrations page. They are all in excellent condition. The tissue guards at their top are about 1/4 of an inch shorter than the text and illustration pages. That's the case for all of them, they were produced that way. The result is a slightly tanner hue over that 1/4r inch on the illustration and facing text page, more so on the facing text page. The pages are very clean. I'm not really finding any soiling, a few instances of a little bit of tannish coloring just peeking over the outer edge. I'm not finding any conspicuous creasing, no placeholder creases. There are a few instances of small groups of pages with a tiny tip of the top corner crease, not much of anything. There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. Here are some of the battles (chapter headings) that are described: The Victory over the Khita, The Battle of Marathon, The Lemnian: A Story of Thermopyle, The Siege of Plataea, How Hannibal Made His Way To Italy, Julius Caesar in Gaul, A Vikings Sea-Fight, The Battle of Hastings, The Battle of Crecy, The Death of Winkleried, The Ballad of Agincourt, The Battle of Bosworth Field, The Siege of Leyden, The Battle of Ivry, Gustavus Adolphus at Lutzen, The Battle of Naseby, Bunker Hill, The Battle of the Pyramids, Trafalgar, Hohenlinden, The Crossing of the Beresina River, Waterloo, The Charge of the Light Brigade, Farragut, The Attack upon Port Arthur, and The Siege of Adrianople.

Proc. Roy. Soc. B, 101. - London, Harrison and Sons, 1927, 8°, pp.262-303, 17 Figs., 1 plate, orig. wrappers. Offprint! "The structural scheme of the nervous system involves overlap in the terminal distribution of the afferent arcs converging on the final motor units. A physiological consequence attaching to this extensive overlap, so far as concerns one of its two main categories, forms the subject of the present enquiry. The convergent junctions which, subserving the 'principle of convergence', result from the overlap, present for functional examination a twofold set of cases. Composing one main class are those cases in which the afferent arcs converging upon the common unit or path tend to act on it to like effect, i. e., in which there flexes are 'allied'. The other class is that where the convergent arcs meeting at the common unit are such as act there to opposed effect, i. e., are 'antagonistic'. This latter, namely the class of antagonistic reflexes, in which excitation reacts against inhibition and vice versa, has since its formulation been a frequent subject of experimental enquiry and possesses a not inconsiderable literature. On the contrary the case of interaction of 'allied' reflexes has attracted little experimental enquiry and received relatively little attention. In 1909 observations by Camis were devoted to it and revealed features of interest inviting further study. These observations of Camis were dealt with in our recent paper (9), which, while confirming and somewhat extending them, indicated that the problem of the interaction of allied reflexes must be met in the body by some co-ordinative solution playing a great role in the reflex taxis of the limb. The present observations had in view to observe the modus operandi obtaining between a typical pair of allied reflexes embouching upon a final path, for which both are excitatory." Cooper, et al. Sir Charles Scott Sherrington (1857-1952) was a British neurophysiologist. His experimental research established many aspects of contemporary neuroscience, including the concept of the spinal reflex as a system involving connected neurons (the "neuron doctrine"), and the ways in which signal transmission between neurons can be potentiated or depotentiated. Sherrington himself coined the word "synapse" to define the connection between two neurons. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1932 (along with Edgar Adrian). In addition to his work in physiology, Sherrington did research in histology, bacteriology, and pathology. Sybil Cooper (1900-1970), was a British physiologist. "She became a research assistant upon graduation to Edgar Adrian, studying nerve and muscle physiology, before receiving her Ph.D in 1927. Cooper then became a research student and then a research fellow at St Hilda's College, Oxford with the physiologist Charles Scott Sherrington while working as a demonstrator in anatomy for the University of Oxford. During this time, she married R. S. Creed in 1933; he was a demonstrator in physiology. She resigned her position in 1934 and had the first of her four children the following year. Able to afford household help, she took an unpaid position as a lecturer in natural science at St. Hilda's in 1940 and received a paid position as a research fellow there in 1946 that she maintained until her retirement in 1968. She collaborated with her husband on muscle reflexes before and after the birth of her children. "Demonstrating great ability in dissecting minute sense organs with intact nerves, she recorded nerve activity. As an excellent histologist, Cooper fixed, stained, and examined the microstructure of the sense organs. Alone and with colleagues, she made advances in understanding how the muscle spindles functioned relative to their structure"."

Proc. Roy. Soc. B, 100. - London, Harrison and Sons, 1926, 8°, pp.448-462, orig. wrappers. Offprint! "Studying spinal reflexes Camis (1910) from observations on M. semitendinosus (cat) reached the conclusions that " the cells of a spinal motor centre ca be regarded from a functional point of view as divided into several independent groups," but that "such independence is however not absolute." The present experiments pursue a like inquiry. That in a reflex evoked by weak excitation of the afferent nerve the resulting contraction of the muscle may involve a portion only of the muscle has common acceptance. Camis's observations, however, employed maximal stimuli and yet the muscle evidenced fractional responses ; whereas later (3) Dreyer and one of us found, contrary to previous experience, that reflex tetani in some instances activated the sum-total of the muscle. Both of these observations are confirmed by the present experiments. Cooper, et al. Sir Charles Scott Sherrington (1857-1952) was a British neurophysiologist.
