Sobre este artículo
Philadelphia, 1833. [2],[5]-151pp. Original cloth, paper label on front cover. Edgeworn, scattered foxing, tanned. Good. Godman, a Maryland born anatomist and naturalist, was the editor of the first medical journal published west of the Alleghenies. Tuberculosis compelled him to focus on literary endeavors, his MAGNUM OPUS being the three-volume AMERICAN NATURAL HISTORY (1826-28). The two works contained herein were originally published in THE FRIEND, a Philadelphia weekly. They include an account of Dr. Godman's life by Daniel Drake. Sabin omits this earlier edition, listing instead an 1836 version as the earliest printing of this title. "These sketches are considered the gem of [Godman's] literary publications" - DAB. SABIN 27664 (ref). DAB VII, pp.350-51.
