Contemporary full calf raised bands gilt spine brown leather spine label marbled end-leaves; rubbed head of spine lightly chipped. Early ms. inscription on half-title. Franco Crainz rubber stamp on title. Very good. FIRST EDITION. Title translates as: "ON THE INDECENCY OF MALE PHYSICIANS ATTENDING TO WOMEN IN CHILD-BIRTH." In this work the pious French physician and theologian Philippe Hecquet argued that it is immodest and indecent to have male accoucheurs deliver their children and that a woman had a "natural right" to have a female midwife deliver their baby. In the second part of this two-part work Hecquet argues that it is a woman's duty to nurse her infant. He documents the problems of producing milk for nursing and concerns about the health of the mother. Philippe Hecquet was "M.D. of Reins 1684 and physician to Port-Royal 1688-93. . . Hecquet . . . had to enter the Paris Faculty as a student in 1694 obtaining the license two years later and the 'bonnet de docteur' in 1697. He was made dean in 1712 and physician to the Charite in 1710." Bibliotheca Osleriana p. 262. See: Blake NLM p. 202; Hirsch III p. 105; Osler 2922 1744; Waller 4176 Paris 1744; Wellcome III p. 232.

180813510London: Published by I. & W. Macgavin No. 107 New Bond Street 1808. Coloured aquatint. Printed on wove Whatman paper. In excellent condition. Image size: 13 5/8 x 20 1/4 inches. A dramatic view of fishermen at Worthing from Philippe Loutherbourg's great work "Picturesque Scenery of Great Britain".<br/> <br/>This impressive aquatint is plate six of Phillip Jacques Loutherbourg's seminal work "Picturesque Scenery of Great Britain." This accomplished text is comprised of six large aquatint views engraved after Loutherbourg's acclaimed paintings. The work which was first engraved in 1801 by J. C. Stadler was later re-engraved in 1808 by J. Hill. Reminiscent of Rowlandson's superb paintings this image depicts fisherman rowing out from the seashore on a stormy day. The son of a court painter in Darmstadt the versatile artist Philippe Jacques Loutherbourg was born in Fulda Germany and was a pupil of J. H. Tischbein and Carle Vanloo and Francis Casanova the elder in Paris. His romantic landscapes battle scenes portraits and biblical subjects were highly esteemed and lauded by influential colleagues such as Diderot. He frequently exhibited at the Salon and became a venerated member of the Académie Royale in 1767. In 1771 he moved to England where he was employed as the principal scenery designer at London's Drury Lane Theatre. His creative and minutely detailed sets revolutionized the genre of scene painting and he soon began dabbling in costume design. Loutherbourg once again astounded contemporaries in 1782 with his pioneering invention of the "Eidophusikon" a novel variety of moving panorama that was accompanied by music. His substantial and varied oeuvre also included book illustrations and a series of aquatints of British scenery that was published in 1801 and 1805. Aside from a brief trip to Switzerland in 1782 he remained in London for the duration of his life and became heavily engrossed in mysticism.<br/> <br/>Abbey Scenery of Great Britain and Ireland in Aquatint and Lithography 1770-1860 no.6 plate 6.
