from Wikipedia:
The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides with Samuel Johnson, LL.D. is a travel journal by Scotsman James Boswell first published in 1785. In 1773, Boswell enticed his English friend Samuel Johnson to accompany him on a tour through the highlands and western islands of Scotland. Johnson was then in his mid sixties and well known for his literary works and his Dictionary. The two travellers set out from Edinburgh and skirted the eastern and northeastern coasts of Scotland, passing through St Andrews, Aberdeen and Inverness. They then passed into the highlands and spent several weeks on various islands in the Hebrides, including Skye, Coll, and Mull. After a visit to Boswell's estate at Auchinleck, the travellers returned to Edinburgh. Johnson published his Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland on 18 January 1775.

from the book:
"VINEGAR AND ARTHRITIS
Arthritis sufferers spend $8 to $10 billion each year searching for relief - relief that, too often, does not come. Those who are feeling the pain of arthritis will try almost anything to be free of the disease. This often results in large sums of money being spent on supposed cures which do not improve health, relieve chronic pain, or stop the progression of the disease.
The Select Committee on Aging's Subcommittee on Health and Long Term Care (House of Representatives, 98th Congress) calls the marketing of supposed arthritis cures a $10 billion a year scandal. In reporting on this, the Journal of the American Dietetic Association notes that both medical and nutrition authorities agree on one important fact about arthritis care:
The only specific treatment for arthritis is "weight control ... and a nutrient-dense diet ...."
This respected journal goes on to explain the conclusions nutritional scientists have drawn from studies of the eating habits of arthritis sufferers:
Sometimes the patient's diet is found to be "... grossly deficient in some nutrients."
...
The time honored recipe for dealing with arthritis is 1 teaspoon honey and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, mixed in a glass of water and taken morning and evening. ... "

Two volumes of
The Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson
Volume 1 : Essays First and Second Series
and
Volume 4 : Nature, Addresses, Papers from the Dial
by
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Copyright - circa 1900 ... Publisher was in business from 1880's to 1910 ... no date on book
Publisher - Jefferson Press, Boston & New York
~980 pages total, lightly tanned and tightly bound. Book Binding is half leather with marbled paper. Marbled paper endpapers, frontis of Ralph Waldo Emerson and volume 4 has frontispiece of the Emerson House in Concord. Leather spines are cracked , split and chipped, front boards on both volumes are starting to loosen, top of page edges are gold gilt. Many pages of both volumes are "uncut" so very likely unread, these are quite easy to open, if you are unsure how to open them, I will be glad to provide instructions. This uncut text block is a wonderful indication of the quality of the text block, and will provide and authentic proof that these are turn of the century works. Frontis and second leaf have been rebound on Volume 1 , spine edge was loose ... archival quality Brodart brand materials used. (see photo) Overall condition is Acceptable or a bit better. Wonderful addition to an Emerson fans library with this nice early printing, still looks great on the shelf and plenty sturdy enough for a reading copy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803 - April 27, 1882) was an American essayist, philosopher, poet, and leader of the Transcendentalist movement in the early 19th century. His teachings directly influenced the growing New Thought movement of the mid 1800s.
Emerson's religious views were often considered radical at the time. He believed that all things are connected to God and, therefore, all things are divine.
The Papers from the Dial, was originally published by The Transcendental group (which Emerson helped found) in July 1840
A wonderful classic collection of Emerson's works, as they would have been read at the turn of the century.

Reviewers say:
"First among the mighty (commentaries) for general usefulness we are bound to mention the man whose name is a household word, Matthew Henry. He is the most pious and pithy, sound and sensible, suggestive and sober, terse and trustworthy . . . he is deeply spiritual, heavenly, profitable; finding good matter in every text, and from all deducting the most practical and judicious lessons . . . It is the Christian's companion, suitable to everybody, instructive to all."
H. Spurgeon

Henry has profound insights on the content, message and nature of God's divine revelation. Perfect for all readers of the Bible who want a comprehensive commentary.

London through Russia into Persia ; and back through Russia, Germany and Holland
To which are added,
The revolutions of Persia during the prefent century, with the particular hiftory of the great ufurper Nadir Kouli
VOLUME II only in this auction ( of two volume set)
by
Jonas Hanway, Merchant
Copyright - 1754 (MDCCLIV) - apparent First Edition ... first Irish Printing certainly.
Publisher - Printed for William Smith and Richard James, Bookfellers in Dame-ftreet. Dublin Ireland
599 pages (volume 2 only), lightly tanned and slightly wrinkled, several pages have slight water mark stains. Binding is cracked at spine hinges, leather half bound has spilt in spine, marbled boards are corner bumped and lightly soiled. Top and bottom of spine is missing from pulls. Tightly bound text block. Good condition overall.
Jonas Hanway (1712 - September 5, 1786), English traveller and philanthropist, was born at Portsmouth.
In 1743, after he had been some time in business for himself in London, he became a partner with Mr Dingley, a merchant in St Petersburg, and in this way was led to travel in Russia and Persia. Leaving St Petersburg on September 10, 1743, and passing south by Moscow, Tsaritsyn and Astrakhan, he embarked on the Caspian Sea on November 22, and arrived at Astrabad on December 18. Here his goods were seized by Mohammed Hassan Beg, and it was only after great privations that he reached the camp of Nadir Shah, under whose protection he recovered most (85%) of his property.
His return journey was embarrassed by sickness (at Resht), by attacks from pirates, and by six weeks' quarantine; and he only reappeared at St Petersburg on January 1, 1745. He again left the Russian capital on July 9, 1750 and travelled through Germany and the Netherlands to England (October 28). The rest of his life was mostly spent in London, where the narrative of his travels (published in 1753) soon made him a man of note, and where he devoted himself to philanthropy and good citizenship.
Hanway left seventy-four printed works, mostly pamphlets; the only one of literary importance is the Historical Account of British Trade over the Caspian Sea, with a Journal of Travels,
This auction is for volume 2 only, which largely covers his return trip and the interesting exploits of same.
An interesting tid bit concerning Hanway, He was the first Londoner, it is said, to have carried an umbrella. I suppose he brought that back from his travels, and I sort of marveled at it ... hopefully you will too!
