1702017826The Bible near the Piazza's of the Royal Exchange: J.R. for Ralph South 1702. Illustrated with a folding plate at the rear small octavo pp xiv 175 i age-toned endpapers unevenly browned but otherwise clean and sound internally contemporary calf rather worn and bleached rebacked at some point with the original spine laid down the corners repaired probably at the same time all still tight and sound. An early signature on the front endpaper - S. Smith Prior Park 1784. Richard Mead 1673 - 1754 was an English physician. His work "A Short Discourse concerning Pestilential Contagion and the Method to be used to prevent it "1720 was of historic importance in the understanding of transmissible diseases. The present work on poisons "fully displayed his commitment to Pitcairne's style of iatromechanics stating that mathematical learning would soon distinguish a physician from a quack. His most original contribution was his discussion of venomous snakes which had been instigated by his studies with Paul Hermann at Leiden. Mead dissected several vipers and accurately described the mechanism of the fang and its operation. He also confirmed Galen's observation that a puncture wound was necessary for the venom to take effect in part by swallowing a sample of venom without ill effect - ODNB". The other poisons and antidotes discussed cover tarantulas and rabid dogs through to poisonous minerals and plants opium and noxious vapours. First Edition. Full Leather. Good.

Some very slight scattered foxing, and a unobtrusive small waterstain in the upper margin of the plates and title-pages. Rare first edition (A. & J. Churchill, London)!Marcello Malpighi (1628-94), Italian physician and anatomist, was professor of physic at Pisa, Bologna, and Messina, and was physician to Pope Innocent XII. Malpighi was the founder of histology and one of the greatest microscopists. In 1660 he was the first to see the capillary anastomosis between the arteries and the veins, thus helping the completion of Harvey’s work on the circulation. He was a great embryologist; his name is perpetuated in ''Malpighian bodies'', ''Malpighi’s layer'' of the epidermis, ''Malpighi’s (splenic) Corpuscles''» (Garrison & Morton, n. 66, p. 10).

The present volume contains the first French translation of Swammerdam's famous ''Biblia Naturae''. The Biblia Naturae is one of the finest collections of microscopical observations ever produced by one worker. The book is consulted by naturalists to this day, and some of the figures have never been excelled. Although most of the objects studied were insects (depicted on 25 plates), Molluscs were also well represented (depicted on 8 plates), and especially the anatomical research of Helix pomatia and Sepia officinalis are remarkable. A further 3 plates depict the anatomy and stages of the frog.
