2353Four folding engraved plates. 2 p.l. vi 396 2 pp. one leaf of errata. 8vo orig. wrappers some fraying & some wear to spine uncut. Paris: Méquignon-Marvis 1821. First edition in French 1st ed. in Swedish: 1820 of this very scarce and famous work in which Berzelius describes the use of the blowpipe in chemistry and mineralogy. "The scientific apparatus and reagents available in Sweden when Berzelius began his work were very inadequate.The new forms of apparatus that he built were described in the various editions of his textbook and became standard pieces of equipment in laboratories all over the world. He was especially skillful in the use of the blowpipe which had been developed in the Scandinavian countries. He utilized it in many of his analytical procedures and the book that he wrote concerning it popularized its use abroad."-D.S.B. II p. 93. The apparatus which Berzelius developed allowed him to greatly improve the accuracy of qualitative and quantitative analysis and he introduced many new methods. The translation by Fulgence Fresnel 1795-1855 is known to be excellent. Very good uncut copy. The plates depict cross-sections of the blowpipe and other chemical apparatus. ❧ Cole 137.

18480000156Boston: David Clapp Printer 1848. First edition. Original Wraps. Very Good . 8vo24 cm. Original offprint with printed orange wrapper housed in a cloth clamshell box. Collation: 2 27 1p.; 18p. This is a very good to fine copy in original wrappers. The first article was originally published in the Boston Medical Surgical Journal in 1846. The second article is from the Transactions of the American Medical Association Vol. 1. <br/><br/>Bigelow had great concern for the suffering of surgical patients and was interested in finding an ideal agent which could be used as an anaesthetic. Ether had the potential to be of use though there was concern over its flammability. Bigelow used ether and published his observations on use of vapors from sulphuric ether in the Boston Medical Surgical Journal in 1846. In the present report Bigelow discusses the pros and cons on using ether vapors or chloroform and compares this in the second article with other anaesthetic agents. This clinical research was a major advancement for surgical operations where pain to the patient was greatly minimized or not felt during the surgery. G & M 5730. David Clapp, Printer paperback books

Front cover library withdrawal rubber stamp possibly: "Concord Free Public Library". Very good. First SEPARATE OF BIGELOW ON ANESTHESIA the journal form has an entirely different pagination being pages 197-214 in the 1847 issue. We believe this is the original offprint form of this paper by Bigelow. There are several clear differences between this offprint form and the journal issue is 1 the pagination for the offprint is 1-18 for the journal it is 197-214 and 2 the journal issue has "C.-1. at the head of the paper and foot of the page has no page number – whereas the offprint form adds the line "Extracted. . . raises the title text higher on the page and includes a page number "1" at the bottom left margin. There is no known textual difference. <br /><br /> "The committee considered in detail the various anesthetic agents. According to the report some surgeons were afraid to use anesthesia in their surgical operations feeling that the advantages afforded by the relief of pain might be offset by the risks involved. However even at this early date authors of this report felt that a large group of surgeons were wholly in favor of anesthesia. The authors did however admit that some surgeons would restrict the use of these agents to severe operations after the introduction of ether anesthesia in Boston it was not until several months later that the method became generally popular in other communities in the United States. The favorable reports of its use in Boston and in Europe made for the more extensive use in American communities in 1847 and 1848. The dangers of etherization were also considered. In some cases it was thought that convulsions prolonged stupor intense cerebral excitement alarming depression of the vital powers and asphyxia apparently were caused by the inhalation of ether and chloroform. Secondary effects attributed to inhalation in a few cases were bronchitis pneumonia and inflammation of the brain. Interestingly enough according to this report p. 190 ether was considered to be a safer drug than chloroform" Keys pp. 36-47. <br /><br /> "Dr. Bigelow was the unflinching advocate of sulphuric ether as the only safe anesthetic: and his unshaken opinion had a very wide and lasting influence. Bigelow instituted important and productive experiments in anesthesia. He inhaled new and untried anesthetic agents. He made practical and original studies of asphyxia and thoroughly established the fact that insensibility from the inhalation of nitrous oxide gas is largely due to asphyxia. He was also the first to show that anesthesia by nitrous oxide could be accomplished with certainty only by the use of a large volume of gas; and thus made the way plain to Colton and others for its successful adoption in tooth-pulling and in brief surgical operations" Mayo p. 603. <br /><br /> Bigelow 1818–1890 born in Boston studied at Harvard from 1833 and became a prominent surgeon and Professor of Surgery at Harvard University. "His 1846 article 'Insensibility during Surgical Operations Produced by Inhalation' detailed the discovery of ether anesthesia and was selected by readers of the New England Journal of Medicine as the 'most important article in NEJM history' in commemoration of the journal's 200th anniversary." "He was a vocal opponent of vivisection and was best known for his description of the hip joint and for a technique for treating patients with kidney stones." – Wikip.

AMERICAN MEDICAL BOTANY BEING A COLLECTION OF THE NATIVE MEDICINAL PLANTS OF THE UNITED STATES CONTAINING THEIR BOTANICAL HISTORY AND CHEMICAL ANALYSIS AND PRPOERTIES AND USES IN MEDICINE DIET AND THE ARTS WITH COLOURED ENGRAVINGS. Boston: Cummings and Hilliard 1817-1820. First edition. 60 color plates most with tissue guards: 10 hand-colored copper engravings and 50 plates printed in color a la poupee probably from an etched stone with some plates finished by hand. Six parts bound in three volumes. Octavo in fours nineteenth-century quarter calf bindings with marbled boards red morocco label and horizontal double-rules in gilt to spines. Ex library: each volume has a bookplate and ink stamp on front pastedown a perforated stamp to title-leaf with an ink stamp on verso a perforated stamp in top margin of first text leaf and an ink stamp on p. 51. Plates are unmarked. Bindings are worn and scuffed with joints tender some starting. Plates are clean for the most part though some have offset on versos from text leaves or slight toning from tissue guards. Text is clean. "This is the first botanical work published in America. Bigelow originally planned to use hand-colored copper plate engravings which are employed in the first half of the first volume. This method proving too expensive and laborious he sought a method of printing color rather than applying it by hand. Richard Wolfe who has made an exhaustive study of the work believes that the rest of the plates the book was issued in six parts over a three-year period were made by etching a stone block then applying the colors to the stone 'a la poupee'. The stone inked with multiple colors was then printed in a single impression. This is the only use of such a process an American color plate book." - Reese 19th Century American Color Plates Books #10.
