A TREATISE ON RUPTURES CONTAINING AN ANATOMICAL DESCRIPTION OF EACH SPECIES WITH AN ACCOUNT OF ITS SYMPTOMS PROGRESS AND TREATMENT

1824ST20601London: Printed for Callow and Wilson 1824. Fourth Edition. 235 x 145 mm. 9 1/4 x 5 3/4". xvii 1 568 pp. Publisher's gray paper boards flat spine with printed paper label leaves untrimmed. WITH TWO ENGRAVED PLATES one folding. Early ink ownership inscription of Jas. McKee on title page. Wellcome III p. 462; Garrison-Morton 3587 5th Edition; Heirs of Hippocrates 822 Second Edition. Spine and boards a bit darkened covers with a hint of soiling occasional light foxing a few closed tears not affecting text other trivial defects but AN EXTREMELY FINE COPY the insubstantial binding with nothing approaching a significant defect and the text remarkably bright clean and fresh. Still in its original boards and in lovely condition this extensive treatise on the causes and treatment of hernias was written by an English surgeon known as a radical precursor of Darwinian attitudes towards the nature and development of man. One of our author's earliest publications when it was first issued in 1807 as "A Treatise on Hernia" the present work won a prize at the Royal College of Surgeons. According to Heirs of Hippocrates William Lawrence 1783-1867 "contributed significantly to the understanding and management of ruptures" and his "Treatise" "remained for many years the standard work on the subject." Lawrence crossed swords with both the Church of England and the medical establishment with several lectures and publications that espoused his materialist views applauded France and the United States for their commitment to free scientific thought and even dared to question Old Testament narratives regarding the origins of man. DNB tells us that "Throughout the nineteenth century . . . he was often regarded as a martyr for the cause of science and of intellectual liberty. His lectures were even cited as precursors for such later works of scientific naturalism as Charles Darwin's 'Descent of Man' 1871 and Thomas Huxley's 'Man's Place in Nature' 1863." Various editions of the present work can be found on the market but it would be difficult to find one in better contemporary condition than ours. Printed for Callow and Wilson

MEMORIA CHIRURGICA SUI PIEDI TORTI CONGENITI DEI FANCIULLI E SULLA MANIERA DI CORREGGERE QUESTA DEFORMITA DI ANTONIO SCARPA

1803ST18718Pavia: Appresso Giuseppe Comini 1803. FIRST EDITION. 309 x 225 mm. 12 1/8 x 8 7/8". 42 pp. without the blank called for by Norman. Contemporary paper boards patterned to look like tree calf smooth spine. WITH FIVE ENGRAVED PLATES THREE OF THEM FOLDING BY FAUSTINO ANDERLONI. Norman 1900; Garrison-Morton 4308. See also: Heirs of Hippocrates p. 292; DSB XII pp. 136-39. ◆Two-inch dampstain to upper right corner of front cover also slightly affecting margins of first 10 leaves extremities a little worn but still a nearly fine copy--clean fresh and bright internally with excellent impressions of the plates in a sturdy contemporary binding. In excellent unsophisticated condition this is a rare copy of the first edition of what Garrison-Morton tells us is the "first accurate description of the pathological anatomy of congenital club-foot." In addition to correctly describing the anatomy of this common birth defect surgeon Antonio Scarpa also devised a brace for treating the malformation--detailed engravings of which are shown on the accompanying plates. A student of Morgagni Scarpa 1852-1932 quickly rose to prominence becoming a professor at the age of 20 and authoring several important works in the fields of otology cardiology ophthalmology and neuroanatomy among others. As DSB relates "his fame was so great that in 1805 he was personally complimented by Napoleon." According to Heirs of Hippocrates Scarpa was "a brilliant artist as well as a brilliant anatomist" who included his own anatomical drawings engraved by Faustino Anderloni in many of his published texts including the present work. The images here go beyond simply depictive to evoke an emotional response from the viewer who is invited to identify with the distress of the afflicted. Our first edition is a rare book: we could trace just two copies sold on RBH. Appresso Giuseppe Comini unknown

PRACTICAL OBSERVATIONS ON THE CONVULSIONS OF INFANTS

1826ST14206London: Burgess and Hill 1826. FIRST EDITION. 215 x 135 mm. 8 1/2 x 5 3/8". x 2 282 pp. 1 blank leaf lacking half title. Recent retrospective dark brown quarter calf over marbled boards raised bands gilt titling. Title page with ink library stamp of University College Hospital Medical School Library. The Founders of Child Neurology 1990 pp. 148-52. ◆Title a little foxed with a half-inch brown strip from older binding along gutter edge last two leaves with minor foxing otherwise a fine copy clean fresh and surprisingly bright in an unworn sympathetic binding. This is the first edition of the first monograph in English on the subject of convulsions in children by a man considered to be one of the founders of child neurology. One of 300 original Fellows of the Royal College of Surgeons and a renowned London practitioner specializing in midwifery and the diseases of women and children John North 1790-1873 was a forthright plain-spoken man whose obituary even noted that "he was occasionally too brusque to be pleasant." This candor was an asset in his writings. As "The Founders of Child Neurology" notes "Whereas most 18th- and early 19th-century medical authors were opaque verbose and interminable theorists North wrote simply and clearly avoided speculation admitted ignorance and actually dealt with practical matters such as distinguishing between types of convulsions and the extent of treatment required. Also perhaps in keeping with his character he did not hesitate to criticize other authors with whom he disagreed." One of his main targets was John Clarke who had declared that "every case of convulsion" resulted in "inevitable organic damage" to the brain. Consequently Clarke called for drastic treatment of every seizure whether caused by teething or serious illness often doing more harm than good with his purgatives clysters and bleeding. North saw convulsions as a disturbance in the brain but not as evidence of organic disease citing as evidence the lack of brain lesions found in autopsies of children who had died of convulsions. He distinguished epilepsy from other causes of seizures and was perhaps the first to note the association between rickets and convulsions. "Founders" concludes "his greatest gift to his contemporaries may have been his reiterated contention that most babies with convulsions need not be assaulted with calomel leeches and the lancet.".

ANATOMIE PATHOLOGIQUE DU CORPS HUMAIN

1829CJW1310Paris: J. B. Baillière 1829-42. FIRST EDITION IN BOOK FORM bound from the original parts. 486 x 337 mm. 19 1/8 x 13 1/4". Two volumes. Contemporary marbled boards backed with recent calf raised bands flanked by gilt fillets black morocco labels. WITH 231 LITHOGRAPHED PLATES two folding OF WHICH 167 ARE IN COLOR many heightened with gum arabic later tissue guards. Garrison & Morton 2286; "Heirs of Hippocrates" 863; Norman 538. ◆Corners and edges somewhat rubbed with some loss of paper as expected with large picture books text with variable foxing persistent but usually light never severe and principally confined to margins a handful of black & white plates with moderate spotting additional small defects internally otherwise quite a commendable copy of a book always found foxed browned and worse our volumes solidly restored now the spines unworn and the text and remarkable plates with no fatal condition problems. Garrison & Morton declares that "the fine illustrations of gross anatomy seen here make this one of the greatest works of its kind." The inaugural professor of pathological anatomy in Paris anatomist and pathologist Jean Cruveilhier 1791-1874 provided in the present work the first description of multiple sclerosis and an early identification of Cruveilhier's palsy. Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis and ulceration of the stomach due to hyperacidity were also detailed for the first time here. In "Doctrine of the Nerves" John A. Spillane called Cruveilhier "the prince of physician-pathologists" and this work a "treasure chest of neurology." "Heirs of Hippocrates" notes that "this atlas contains some of the finest illustrations of gross pathology ever made." The plates were done by anatomical illustrator Antoine Chazal 1793-1854 a French painter engraver art teacher at Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle and great-uncle of Paul Gauguin. This work was originally issued in 40 parts at nine francs each over a period of 13 years. The parts were ultimately bound together into two volumes as here in a print run that based upon the subscriber's list was likely just more than 400 copies. While no stranger to auction rooms the book--a practical reference book heavily used by professionals--is all too often found with missing plates and/or parts and in condition that leaves much to be desired.

Sept. 28th 1845 letter addressed to Messrs. J. & H. G. Langley Publishers Astor House Broadway New York regarding Subscription to the Journal of Medicine

184531608Shelbyville Tennessee: m/a 1845. Letter. Good. Bifolium letter. 4 pages. Multiple folds creases and small edge tears to the paper. Signature at bottom is missing a couple of letters from a chip. First page used to to discuss subscription fee receipt etc. for the Journal of Medicine. Address for J. & H. G. Langley Astor House Broadway New York publishers of Medical journals and science periodicals and postal mark from Shelbyville Tennessee on the back page. From Rootsweb Ancestry dot com: DR. THOMAS LIPSCOMB one of Bedford County's oldest and best citizens was born in Louisa County Va. July 22 1808 to the marriage of William Lipscomb and Ann Day Cook natives of Spottsylvania and Louisa Counties Va. respectively. The father was killed by a falling tree in January 1829 having been a farmer. The mother attained the ripe age of ninety years and her old age was marked with great vitality. With her own hands she knit over 100 pairs of socks for the Confederate soldiers after she had passed eighty years of age. She lived nearly forty years a widow. The subject of this sketch was reared with his parents on a farm and received a common school education. At the age of twenty-one he went to Winchester Tenn. and began the study of medicine. Thence he attended the Medical University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia whither he proceeded and returned the most of the way on horseback. After one course of lectures he returned to Franklin County Tenn. where his parents had moved in 1826. In 1831 he came to Shelbyville where he has spent a lifetime in the practice of medicine surgery and obstetrics and has attained eminence in his profession. He has been president of the Medical Society of Tennessee of the Bedford County Medical Society and of the Female Institute at Shelbyville. Since entering into the practice of his profession the honorary title of M. D. has been conferred upon him by the University of Louisville and by the University of Tennessee. He has been successful financially. Since 1855 he has carried on farming. He is the president and largest stockholder of the Victor Mills of Shelbyville and was the president of the Branch Bank of Tennessee at Shelbyville at the opening of the war. The advancement of the schools and churches is due greatly to him. For two years he held the Shelbyville post office the emoluments of which he allowed to the widow of a former postmaster. He is not now actively engaged in the practice but at the age of seventy-three he successfully performed the difficult ovariotomy operation for the first time in his life. He was married May 22 1832 to Rebecca Stevenson who bore him ten children all of whom were raised. This wife died December 6 1880 and he then wedded October 26 1882 Miss Mary A. Cowan. Dr. Lipscomb and wife are members of the Presbyterian Church as was his first wife. Politically he is a Democrat and wields large influence as a worthy citizen of the county. m/a unknown

Pourquoi la France n'a pas Trouvé d'Hommes Supérieurs au Moment du Peril

187147582Rome: Forzani et C. 1871. First Edition. Folio 33cm.; publisher's tan printed card wrappers; 18pp. Wrapper lightly soiled faint vertical creasing a few tiny chips to spine ele Very Good internally fresh and fine save the crease. Polemical attack on the state of the French university system written in March 1871 two months after the end of the disastrous for the French Franco-Prussian War. As Pasteur argues whereas in Germany universities proliferated across the country France "stymied by revolution was always occupied with the sterile search for a better form of government giving only distracted attention to her institutions of higher learning" p. 9 our translation. At the root of all this was the regime of Napoleon I who in the early years of the 19th century neglected the country's twenty-eight extant institutions of higher learning in favor of his Université de France a disastrously centralized state-run institution that he established in 1808. The University suffered greatly during the Restoration and with it the quality of education so that by 1868 only £8000 were being spent for "true academic purposes" across the country cf. W. Chandler Roberts et al "Journal of the Society for Arts Vol. 32 no. 1655 August 8 1884 p. 905 creating a lacuna of learned and innovative thinkers to match Germany's. Perhaps in order to combat this downward trend Pasteur later founded the Pasteur Institute in 1887 serving as its director until his death in 1895. This appears to be the only separate appearance of Pasteur's tract published abroad and distributed to various foreign leading scientific figures among these "Darwin's Bulldog" Thomas Henry Huxley who makes mention of this work in an address delivered in October of that same year. The essay appeared again in print in 1947 following an even more disastrous encounter with Germany in a collection titled "Pour l'Avenir de la Science Française." This publication quite scarce with four physical copies noted in OCLC as of February 2020. COPAC adds one copy at the LEC Library UK. Forzani et C. unknown

L'arte di generare maschi e femmine ad arbitrio : sistema completo della generazione / di monsieur Millot.

Upon learning that his friend's wife had given birth to yet another female Palmieri proposed to him the method devised by Jacques-AndrÃ© Millot surgeon-midwife of Marie-Antoinette and the Duchesses of Orleans and Bourbon with which they hypothesized techniques during the conception which would have guided in the choice of the genre of the unborn child and set about the translation with commentary of the work printed in its first absolute edition in Paris in 1800 with the title L'Art de procreÌer les sexes aÌ€ volonteÌ ou SysteÌ€me complet de geÌneÌration par Jacques-AndreÌ Millot.The work however is not a mere translation. As stated by Palmieri in the introduction some parts of the original work have been summarized while an extended commentary and some revisions have been implemented.In his treatise the author proposes natural methods to choose the gender of the unborn child avoiding the bloody ones suggested in the past such as the removal of a father's testicle before conception. The method in summary theorizes the specialization of the ovaries in the development of one gender rather than another proposing through precise positions during conception to fertilize one ovary or the other according to the desired gender.In detail:Â· In the first part of the text the historical theories on generation known at the time are retraced.Â· The second part describes the Placenta its origin and formation the blood circulation in the foetus the phenomenon of superfetation the similarities and dissimilarities between new-borns and parents the ovaries and their functions the uterine tubes.Â· Finally the third part is dedicated to the description of the methods proposed to pre-define the gender of the unborn child. In particular it discusses the way to choose the gender during procreation the experiences and proofs of the functioning of the method ending with the final conclusions.The text then continues this is the missing part in the works recorded in WorldCat with the extensive notes and comments of the translator and with the final part dedicated to the Memoria sulla Dissenteria epidemica del 1808."I do not believe I can render a greater service to humanity than to give it the mode of procreating the gender at will; this knowledge would also have its Moral goal: it is I believe the only means of increasing if it is possible the tenderness of the Fathers and Mothers and the attachment of the Children for them because the parents who will have only Children of their choice will see them with continual satisfaction " Millon op. cit.Census: University of Chicago Signature 2 xiv 160 pp. Cornell University Library New York Signature 2 xiv 160 pp. Pontificia UniversitÃ Gregoriana Roma signature xiv 176 47 1.World-Cat apparently records only three copies of this title. The two copies present in the United States are however characterized by a different reduced signature compared to the present copy and the one owned by the Gregorian library. The signature of the copies in the US is in fact pp. 2 xiv 160 with respect to the signature pp. xiv 176 47 1 of the present copy.In fact they are missing the Nota del Traduttore translator's note pp. 161-176 and the first edition of the Memoria sulla Dissenteria epidemica del 1808 pp. 1-47 of the second part.All the other libraries mentioned in WorldCat own an electronic copy of the book.Conditions: Small restoration at bindings.
