182896556Paris, J.-B. Baillière, 1828, in-8, 5 vol, Demi-veau prune de l'époque, dos lisses ornés de fleurons et de roulettes, tranches marbrées, Deuxième édition de cet ouvrage qui fut l'un des premiers succès de la maison Baillière. D'abord disciple de Broussais, Louis-Charles Roche (1790-1875) fut l'un des premiers à revenir à la "médecine hippocratique" et joua un rôle pondérateur dans la querelle qui eut lieu entre Broussais et Laennec. Toute la partie médicale de cet ouvrage est de lui. Louis-Joseph Sanson (1790-1841) fut nommé en 1836 professeur de clinique chirurgicale en remplacement de Dupuytren dont il fut l'élève. Les Nouveaux éléments, dont il a rédigé toute la partie chirurgicale, est son principal ouvrage. Il est réputé pour son procédé de lithotomie recto-vésicale, décrit et publié par son maître en 1836. Bon exemplaire, malgré quelques frottements sur les couffes et coupes. Rousseurs claires. Couverture rigide

An attractive manuscript map depicting the topography surrounding the small Sinaloan town of Santa Anita southeast of Culiacán near El Comedero. The map is somewhat oddly oriented with due north pointing toward the lower right corner of the sheet. It shows Santa Anita at its center with mountains to its east and dry plains to the west heading toward the Pacific Ocean. Two trails labeled "Camino Nacional de Culiacan" and "Camino del Veinticuatro" connect Santa Anita to the even smaller towns of Llano and Veinticuatro at the map borders. A small section of the Rio San Lorenzo is detailed at the eastern edge of the map area for context. The map was surveyed and drawn by Ignacio L. Rocha a graduate in 1883 of the reformed Colegio Rosales first founded in 1874. Three other maps by Rocha are located in the Mexican Agricultural Archives. A neat and appealing example. unknown books
