Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First printing of a classic paper in physiology in which Magnus concludes that RESPIRATION TAKES PLACES IN THE TISSUES. After he had analyzed gases in the blood he found that there was a higher concentration of oxygen in the blood flowing in arteries than that flowing in the veins thus being the "First quantitative analysis of the blood gases" Garrison & Morton No. 929."In this paper Magnus determines that the oxygen nitrogen and carbon dioxide content of the arterial and venous blood of horses. He introduces blood into mercury in a funnel and by repeatedly applying nergative pressure he liberates the gases from the blood. The mercury seal maintains the anaerobic conditions when transferring the gases to a eudiometer for analysis. Magnus finds a positive arterio-venous difference for oxygen and a negative difference for carbon dioxide. rom this he concludes that carbon dioxide is added not in the lungs but during circulation. he also calculates the balance of carbon dioxide assuming values for the cardiac output and carbon dioxide elimination and the measured arterio-venous difference. This is the first use of what later came to be called Fich's principle."Gedeon "Science and Technology in Medicine" Nr. 37. </em> unknown

As the 1835 preface tells us "Petrie who has been facetiously called the Scottish Chesterfield is generally understood to have begun life as a domestic tutor in the family of Sinclair of Stevenstoun and to have ended it as a parish schoolmaster in East Lothian. His 'Rules of Good Deportment' may be taken as the result of his artless observations upon the manners of a class of society to which he was probably admitted only as a humble spectator. From the manifest sincerity however of his delineations of 'Good Breeding' and the graphic character of many of his scenes it may fairly be presumed that they were painted from nature--and they present probably less of a caricature of Scottish manners early in the 18th century than might at first be imagined." It is known that Scott had begun but did not finish the project of reprinting this work for the Bannatyne Club and the frontispiece prepared for that edition is used here. Both the first edition of 1720 and this 1835 reprint are infrequently encountered on the market. unknown
