Main picture: Milly Hughes with some of the antiquarian titles she sells from her home in Bradford-on-Avon.
A title from Milly Hughes stock is Benjamin Moseley’s A Treatise on Sugar, with Miscellaneous Medical Observations published in 1800 and priced at £300. Moseley, a physician who lived for a while in Jamaica, describes the history, cultivation and production of sugar as well as its use in medicine. The unrelated medical comments include vaccination to which Moseley was opposed and discourses on the plague and goitre.
