Tafeln Halbledereinband der Zeit; Rücken erneuert frisches Exemplar. First Edition! Sir Erasmus Wilson 1809-1884 a pupil of Hebra distinguished himself first in anatomy and was elected member of the Royal College of Surgeons but soon decided in spite of the prejudice against specialism in England to devote himself to dermatology. His contributions were many. He described trichorrexis nodosa erythema nodosum universal exfoliative dermatitis. His outstanding nosologic feat here was the assembly of the various manifestions of lichen planus into the category of a single disease; this he first described and named 1869. His suggestions of the addition of benzoic acid as a preservative for ointments introduced benzoated ointments. His chief works of the Skin 1842 which went through at least six editions. His writings on the care of the skin for laymen were credited with having made the bath popular in England. His observations and original suggestions his able writings and particularly the sanity with which he applied his comprehensive knowledge to the practical problems of dermatology made him one of the great dermatologists."

Darwin / April 1869" Charles Darwin's son. Light foxing throughout primarily affecting first leaves. VIII 272 1 pp. 1 plate. <br/><br/><em>First substantial English translation with an interisting provenance of Rask’s pioneering Old Norse grammar originally published in Danish in 1811 one of the foundational works of modern comparative linguistics. The present copy belonged to George Howard Darwin son of Charles Darwin distinguished mathematician and astronomer best known for his work on tidal theory and the evolution of the Earth–Moon system. Rask was among the earliest scholars to treat Old Norse Icelandic as a systematic and a historically grounded language rather than a curiosity of antiquarian interest. His work helped establish the methodological basis for what would become Indo-European philology. Rasmus Rask is one of the absolutely most prominent and famous Danish philologers and is very well esteemed worldwide. He was the first to systematically study the ancient Nordic languages and is the discoverer of the relations between the consonants in the Indo-European languages. This discovery served as the foundation of the rules Jacob Grimm later formulated underlying the Germanic and High-German soundshifts. In PMM Rask is identified as "one of the founders of the modern science of language." PMM 266. </em> hardcover
