1851M10991Paris:: Victor Masson 1851. 1851. 8vo. iv 441 pp. Original quarter calf over marbled boards gilt-stamped spine title; lightly rubbed. Presentation gilt-stamping on spine. Very good. FIRST EDITION. "Deval investigated whether the amaurosis weakness of sight is sthenic or asthenic. He follows Sichel in the classification amaurosis due to the retina to the optic nerve to the brain to the spinal cord ganglionary or abdominal trifacial or ophthalmic amaurosis. He praises for torpid amaurosis galvanic electricity." Hirschberg. This volume bears indication on the spine that it was awarded to a M. Julien as the "Prix de Vaccine" for 1850. The French government supported research into vaccines and vaccination actively awarding prize monies beginning in 1801. "Deval was the most outstanding among the pupils of Julius Sichel." He studied medicine and graduated 1834 as doctor in Paris dedicating . . . "himself to ophthalmology after he had been trained by Sichel for four years." He published numerous case reports and we have to assume that he treated many patients. Deval "tells us that his institute was visited by a great number of physicians and students and that he taught some of them ocular operations and as soon as he was sure that they had a steady hand he let them operate on his patients. These operations were quite successful. Deval never operated with the strictest indication. He was overtaken by his knife-happy colleagues and died a poor man." Hirschberg.
