1st, Rare so acceptable
Dr. Robert HOGAN (b. 1800). [Cuba] Strictures on the present state of the medical profession among the foreign practitioners in Havana. New York: printed by J. Seymour, 1824. Octavo. Pp. [1-7] – 8 – 37[-40, including final blank leaf]. (Toned, spotted). Stitched, but almost unbound.
Very rare: one copy recorded in the Library of Congress, two others at Yale and SUNY. Unlicensed medical ineptitude: Hogan blasts the European mountebanks and charlatans who have set up as doctors in Havana, as well as the system which allows them to practice. It appears that Irish-born Hogan was so disgusted with the situation that he left Cuba and settled in New York where he become an important figure in the Irish-American community. OCLC 1282633615 and 29394605.

Shadowrock Rare Books (https://shadowrockrarebooks.com/): a relatively new multi-faceted book business by a relatively old bookman. Starting in the 1970s, Adam Langlands has worked for most of the great auction houses, and been associated with a number of the greatest dealers. He has examined, researched and catalogued a huge range of books representing many subjects, languages, techniques, dates and price-points: from 'Sky-Hi A trip into space with Terry' (1952, kid's transformational book) to the Fox/Bute copy of Audubon's 'Double-Elephant Folio' (sold at auction for $8,802,500). Inspired by their recent move to a home which previously belonged to both George Simenon (of Maigret fame) and Seymour Hacker (founder of Hacker Art Books), Adam and Susu Langlands have decided to continue the literary connection and set up Shadowrock Rare Books. Today's global online marketplace means that there is a danger that the call of the unique will get drowned out by the cries of the banal: it is the mission of Shadowrock Rare Books to rescue and highlight these gems. Joining Getman’s Virtual Book & Paper Fairs was an obvious next step for us – we have cheered him on from the sidelines from the beginning!
