Book
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Hardcover. Full, original, brown leather. Maroon spine label. Leather worn and scuffed, but binding tight. 229 and 247 pages (two volumes bound together). Pages faded, but overall quite good condition. 1 strip missing from outer edge of front free endpaper. The name Sam Brown signed on the front free endpaper. Again on the half title. Again, in pencil, on the title page. Once more, smudged, on the final page. Bookplate of Joseph A. Humphreys on the inside front cover. Scarce. Dr. Samuel Brown was born in Rockingham County VA in 1769. He went to Dickinson College in 1787 and graduated in 1789 (a member of the 3rd class to graduate). After graduation he moved to Staunton VA to study medicine with his brother-in-law Dr. Alexander Humphreys. From Staunton, he went to Philadelphia to continue his studies with Dr. Benjamin Rush (signer of the Declaration of Independence). Then he went to Scotland to complete his studies at the University of Edinburgh, the leading Medical School in the English-speaking world. When he returned to the States, he moved from Maryland to Kentucky and eventually to New Orleans, setting up successful medical practices wherever he went. He wrote and published medical findings, corresponded with Thomas Jefferson, carried out the first smallpox inoculations in frontier Kentucky, and also found time to introduce the art of lithography to the United States - with his friend Bass Otis - which they presented to the American Philosophical Society in 1819. There are two historical markers to his memory in Lexington, KY. One at his law office recognizing that he was the first professor of chemistry, anatomy and surgery at the University there & also that he made innovations in steam distillation in the making of whiskey. The second marker recognizes his innovations in manufacture of gunpowder and his friendship and advice to the Lewis and Clark expedition. (Brown was friendly with Clark, who collected samples for him on the Expedition). He died in 1830. Joseph A. Humphreys is a bit trickier to track down, having lived a generation or two after Dr. Brown. He appears to have been Alexander Humphreys grandson -- therefore he was Dr. Brown s sister s great nephew -- born in 1826 in Kentucky to David Humphreys & Sarah Scott. The gift inscriptions in the books, as well as the bookplate, were likely added by Joseph Humphries later in life (as he was only 4 when Brown died). It is a testament to Brown s reputation (both in his own family and without) that his grand-nephew would keep and cherish his medical books. Joseph Humphrey has attended medical school himself, but did not practice medicine. Please email with questions or to request photos.
