Interior almost without foxing and in surprisingly good condition for a chapbook. - A very rare compilation of reports on people of color living in England in the late 18th and early 19th centuries: Prince Lee Boo, Paul Cuffee and John Sackhouse. The account of Lee Boo's life was first printed in the late 18th century and later reissued with additions. This issue is of particular interest due to the newly added section on Paul Cuffe. - Lee Boo, one of the first Pacific Islanders to visit Britain, was the second son of the ruler of Koror in Palau. He accompanied Captain Henry Wilson to London after the China trader Antelope was shipwrecked and the survivors spent 3 months on Palau. Lee Boo quickly became very popular in London, but died of smallpox six months after his arrival. The History of Prince Lee Boo is based on George Keate's Account of the Pelew Islands ; it appeared in several popular editions, all rare, since 1789. Paul Cuffe or Cuffee (derived from his father's name Kofi) was an African American businessman and abolitionist born on Cuttyhunk Island, Massachusetts, in 1759. His mother was a Wampanoag, his father an Ashanti manumitted from slavery. He became a whaler, blockade runner and, after the Revolutionary War, built up a successful shipping business. He became involved in the settlement scheme for freed American slaves in Sierra Leone and died in 1819. - John Sackhouse had come to London from Greenland as a stowaway on a whaler in 1816. He earned a living by showcasing his kayak and hunting skills in public displays organized by himself. He was taken to Edinburgh by the painter Alexander Nasmyth, who painted his portrait and taught drawing to him. He accompanied an expedition led by John Ross to the Arctic as an interpreter and, back in Edinburgh, died of typhoid fever in 1819, aged 22.…

A serviceable copy of this landmark work on brain hemorrhages. Apoplexy (from Ancient Greek , meaning 'a striking away') is bleeding within internal organs and the accompanying symptoms. For example, ovarian apoplexy is bleeding in the ovaries. The term formerly referred to what is now called a stroke; nowadays, health care professionals typically specify the type of apoplexy, such as cerebral, ovarian and pituitary apoplexy. Informally, apoplexy is associated with being furious, especially as "apoplectic". From the late 14th to the late 19th century, apoplexy referred to any sudden death that began with a sudden loss of consciousness, especially one in which the victim died within a matter of seconds after losing consciousness. The word apoplexy was sometimes used to refer to the symptom of sudden loss of consciousness immediately preceding death. Ruptured aortic aneurysms, and even heart attacks and strokes were referred to as apoplexy in the past, because before the advent of medical science, there was limited ability to differentiate abnormal conditions and diseased states. Although physiology as a medical field dates back at least to the time of Hippocrates, until the late 19th century physicians often had inadequate or inaccurate understandings of many of the human body's normal functions and abnormal presentations. Hence, identifying a specific cause of a symptom or of death often proved difficult or impossible. Because the term by itself is now ambiguous, it is often coupled with a descriptive adjective to indicate the site of bleeding. For example, bleeding within the pituitary gland is called pituitary apoplexy, and bleeding within the adrenal glands can be called adrenal apoplexy. Apoplexy also includes hemorrhaging with the gland and accompanying neurological problems such as confusion, headache, and impairment of consciousness.
