6925Six folding engraved plates. Title in red & black. 1 p.l. 308 pp. 8vo cont. mottled sheep flat spine nicely gilt contrasting leather lettering piece on spine. Lausanne & Geneva: M.M. Bousquet 1744. First edition of this important book in which Cheseaux 1718-51 grandson of Crouzas and a fellow the Royal Society of London first stated what was to become known as "the paradox of Cheseaux": "With an infinite and uniform distribution of stars throughout space the night sky should shine with a brightness corresponding to their average surface brightness." A number of notable astronomers have struggled with this problem including Halley Olbers Struve and Herschel. "The magnificent comet of 1744 was both bright and unusual in that it was reliably reported that it had multiple tails spread out like a fan. The Swiss astronomer Jean Philippe Loys de Cheseaux after whom the comet is often named began his observations on December 13 1743 and computed a parabolic orbit based on his own observations through March 1 1744.Before morning twilight on March 7 and 8 1744 Cheseaux reported seeing a multiple-tail system with 6 distinct rays extending above the horizon."-Yeoman Comets pp. 161-62.

Overall a superb copy. ìPhilippe PinelÃs TraitÈ mÈdico-philosophique sur lÃaliÈnation mentale ou la manie which presented the textual foundation of psychiatry stands as the first great publication of the nineteenth century in clinical medicineî Grolier Medicine. ìIn October 1793 while serving as mÈdecin des infirmeries at BicÃtre Hospital Pinel 1745-1826 had the chains struck off from forty-nine male psychiatric patients in order to substitute for this cruel oppression his ëtraitement moraleà a humane form of psychiatric therapy that identified insanity with illness rather than moral perversity or demonic possession. This dramatic act performed in the liberating spirit of the American and French Revolutions found immediate and enduring favor in the popular imagination as a symbol of a new attitude toward the insane and ignited a general desire for more humane treatment of the mentally ill that culminated in the English non-restraint movement of the mid-nineteenth century. Yet humanitarian treatment of the insane although crucial to PinelÃs psychiatric work was not that workÃs sole focus for Pinel also devoted himself to establishing psychiatry as a scientifically based branch of medicine. His TraitÈ replaced the speculation and theorizing characteristic of earlier discussions of insanity with his own practical observations of the lunatics of the BicÃtre whose illnesses could now be observed undistorted by cruel treatment. He retained the old classifications of mental illness stating that contemporary medicine was as yet too primitive for more precise categories but did introduce some subdivisions isolating mania from delirium and recognizing the relationships between periodic mania melancholy and hypochondria. He recognized emotional disorders to be the main cause of intellectual dysfunction but also took into account heredity predisposition and hypersensitivity and attempted to find relationships between insanity and cranial deformityî Norman Library.

80080hardcover. 8vo marbled boards rebacked in cloth; ex-lib foxed. Paris 1838.<br/><br/> First Edition. This treatise is memorable in the history of medicine for overthrowing Hunter's erroneous ideas as to the identity of gonorrhea and syphilis establishing the autonomy of these diseases. Ricord 1800-1889 by his work in the Hopital du Midi Paris reestablished the fundamental part of our present knowledge of syphilis. His analysis of the course of syphilis into three stages which is of course conventional has however performed a great service in making it easier to comprehend the multiform symptoms which syphilis presents.<br/><br/> unknown books
