    The morbid anatomy of some of the most important parts of the human body

    Rare Books

    The Morbid Anatomy of Some of the Most Important Parts of the Human Body by Matthew Baillie (1761-1823), published in London in 1793, was the first systematic treatise on pathology, and the first work on the subject in English. Baillie, the nephew of John and William Hunter, based most of his descriptions on observations he made from specimens preserved in John Hunter's medical museum. Though portions of Hunter's museum were lost in World War II, what survived is preserved in the Royal College of Surgeons of London.

    Rare Books

    This collection contains periodicals and monographs with content written by or about poet, novelist, and short-story writer Charles Bukowski that were collected by Bukowski's long-time publisher and Black Sparrow Press founder, John Martin. The collection contains 703 items from 255 periodicals and 37 monographs dating 1940 to 2003, with the bulk of items spanning from 1956 to 1979, that include poems, short stories, interviews, introductions, and excerpts by Bukowski, as well as some additional periodicals associated with Bukowski. The earliest items in the collection -- a January 19, 1940, issue of the Los Angeles Collegian, Bukowski's college newspaper, and the first issues of The Naked Ear dating from 1956 -- do not contain writings by Bukowski. Among the earliest items with contributions by Bukowski is the September-October 1957 issue of Existaria. Items consist primarily of literary periodicals (including "little magazines" or 'zines), magazines, and alternative/underground newspapers, as well as some chapbooks and anthologies. The collection features a complete run of the ten issues of the periodical Nomad published between 1959 and 1962, as well as eighty-six issues of Open City from the late 1960s and issues of the Los Angeles Free Press that together provide a near complete run of Bukowski's column "Notes of a Dirty Old Man." Many of the items have penciled annotations including "C", "D", and "E" numbers that reference A Bibliography of Charles Bukowski (Black Sparrow Press, 1969) by Sanford Dorbin, as well as "NID" notations indicating items not in Dorbin's bibliography. The collection forms a subset of the Charles Bukowski Printed Material Collection held in the Rare Books Department of the Huntington Library.

    The Greene and Greene Collection contains a wide variety of materials, from Greene and Greene ancestor, architect/engineer James Sumner's "Memo of the Timber wanted for the Steeple in Providence," dated 1775, and a diary of a European grand tour from 1829 to 1931 by an English ancestor of Charles Greene's wife, Alice, to drawings and photographs of Greene and Greene works from the time of construction through the close of the 20th century. The bulk of the collection dates from 1889 to 1975. Photographs comprise most of the records documenting their architecture. There is a small number of architectural drawings; most of the firm's drawings are housed at the Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library at Columbia University, New York City, with a smaller collection of drawings from the estate of Charles Greene at the Environmental Design Archives, University of California, Berkeley. The collection is organized into four series: I. Personal papers, II. Office records, III. Job (project) records (including furniture), and IV. Related research materials. In general, the papers and records of both brothers have been kept together for the periods in which they were living together as students and young men, and for the period when they were partners in the firm of Greene and Greene. Within each series, the organization follows the separate lives and works of each brother from the dates at which they diverge. Although the collection has been assembled from many different sources, most items have a unique accession number identifying the donor, so that the researcher can easily identify the source of most documents.
