First American Edition. <br /> <br /> This 1852 American edition of On Syphilis Constitutional and Hereditary; and on Syphilitic Eruptions by Erasmus Wilson F.R.S. presents one of the most important mid-19th-century clinical treatises on venereal disease. Wilson—already renowned for his dermatological writings—provides a detailed examination of the pathology transmission symptoms and progression of syphilis with special emphasis on the distinction between primary and constitutional disease. The text includes discussions of contemporary treatment protocols case observations and the evolving medical understanding of syphilitic eruptions. This edition also includes a dedicatory preface to Philip Ricord the leading French authority on syphilis acknowledging Ricord’s influence on Wilson’s own work.<br /> <br /> The volume is further distinguished by four hand-colored plates illustrating syphilitic lesions with notable clarity and detail—an important resource for physicians of the period and a major reason for the book’s collectibility today. The copy contains period library markings from the Cincinnati Hospital Library received 1893 and the Colorado Medical Library Association giving it documented medical-institution provenance. Internal pages show scattered foxing typical of American medical publications of this era and all plates appear present. Overall this is a historically important medical monograph documenting 19th-century venereal disease treatment and dermatological study.<br /> <br /> Condition & Binding: Bound in the original publisher’s dark cloth blind-stamped with decorative panels and gilt spine title WILSON ON SYPHILIS.
