Description: New York, Geo. P. Putnam, 1853. Cloth. A now uncommon copy of Horace Green's notable and much disputed treatise on diseases of the air passages.

The Long Island Historical Society, opened in 1863, was the first cultural institution of its kind on Long Island. Horace Green (1802-1866) became the first specialist in the United States to devote himself to diseases of the throat. In 1840, he announced that he had used a sponge-tipped probang, inserted into the larynx, to apply medication directly to the laryngeal mucosa. This was met with a critical and skeptical response. In this notable work, he explains his innovative methods for treating diseases of the air passages, such as bronchitis and follicular disease of the throat. He includes his own colour drawings of the throat, follicular disease of the throat, and the instruments he uses. Illustrated with six colour plates and one black-and-white folding plate. Collated, complete. Rebacked with the publisher's original cloth binding laid down to the spine and boards. Externally, sound, with a loss of cloth to the head of the original backstrip, and to the extremities of the boards. Shelf wear has caused delamination to the corners. Tears in the cloth to the joints. Hinges are starting but are firmly held. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright and clean with just a scattering of spots to the title page.
