Traite de Radiologie Medical

Paris, G. Steinheil, Editeur, 1904. First Edition. Hardcover. Size: 4to 11" - 13" tall. Uber-scarce in the trade, there being currently no copies available on-line. Massively heavy, oversized volume, the magisterial edited volume, Traite de Radiologie Medicale, edited by Charles Bouchard, who was in 1904 a Professeur de I’lnstitut, Professeur de Pathologie generale in the Faculty de medecine, published in Paris by G. Steinheil. The original treatise was published in two large quarto volumes, containing 1100 pages of text and illustrations. This volume has brought both volumes together and rebound them in raspberry-colored buckram cloth with gilt illustration to spine, and with new endpapers, leaving a remarkably clean, unmarked, and bright-appearing interior likely to last another 100+ years. Charles Bouchard's masterful editing collated and compiled chapters written by numerous writers from the most prominent faculties of France. The opening chapters consider the sources and variety of electricity and of electric apparatus, including many words devoted to the consideration of the Crookes tube and the physical and chemical properties of x-rays. The second half of the work deals with the practical application of x-rays in medicine and surgery. The question of radiographic plates, their preparation, exposure, and development, is treated in minute detail. The technique of fluoroscopic examinations and of skiagraphic procedures also receives thorough discussion, with numerous well-executed illustrations of apparatus. Next follows a treatise on "Stereometry and Stereoscopy." Included are discussions of the study of the practical application of the x-rays in surgical conditions--fractures, osteitis, myelitis, acromegaly, orthopedics--and tumorsof bone, luxations, arthritis, gout, rheumatism, and the arthropathies get minute examination by at least French authorities. Then follow contributions about the viscera, the vascular and nervous systems, the special senses,and obstetrical and fetal radiography, but also the "accidents" of radiology, and particularly of x-ray dermatitis and of burns. Augmented by 356 figures/illustrations and with seven plates. French language texts throughout. [3], 2-1100 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .

A Treatise on Physiology Applied to Pathology

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Carey & Lea, 1832. Third American edition. Hardcover. Size: Large 8vo 9" - 10. Translated from the original French by John Bell, M.D. and R. La Roche, M.D., with notes, and a copious appendix. Published as the Third American Edition in Philadelphia, 1832, by Carey & Lea. Original publisher's full brown calf binding. 19th century previous owner’s marks in pencil and pen on paste-down and fly-leaf. Front hinge split, board attached by cords which are showing, with a small tear of spine leather at top edge. Boards are moderately scuffed and corners bumped, with light to moderate toning to text-block, though much of the remainder is bright and clean, surprisingly so given its age. Final few endpapers are lightly damp-stained, not affected text. The original, true First Edition was published a decade prior in France. Measures approximately 8 3/4" x 5 1/2" x 2". Overall a Fair to Good condition copy, still quite handsome on the shelf. The author, the French doctor Francois Joseph Victor Broussais, was, like many of his contemporaries, a strong proponent of bloodletting-by-leeches. One of the two co-translators, La Roche, was known partly for his work on yellow fever, while the other co-translator John Bell was a lecturer of medical jurisprudence in Philadelphia. He is NOT the more famous Scottish surgeon of the same name. Fourteen chapters, including a particularly lengthy disquisition, frank and extraordinarily misogynist, on sexual organs, sexuality and reproduction. Else and withal, a nice copy in early edition of an important early work on anatomy and physiology.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . Good

Bartholomaei Eustachii [Eustachius]

Tabulae Anatomicae

London, England, Druckerei Holzer, Weiler im Allgau, for the Editions Medicina Rara Ltd., 1975. Limited Edition Reprint. Hardcover. Size: Folio - over 12 - 15" tall. A brilliant facsimile exemplar of the Anatomicae Tabulae by Eustachius built upon reproduction of the copper-plate engraved illustrations done originally by Giulio de'Musi, "a Roman artist under the direction of Eustachius and his assistant [and relative] Pier Matteo Pini of Urbino" (K.B. Roberts) after the anatomical investigations of Eustachius done over a century and a half prior. The text that would have accompanied the plates was either never written or was lost and remains a mystery; later editors and publishers had perforce to supply an anatomical commentary. Eustachius was "physician to the Duke of Urbino and then to his brother, Cardinal Giuilio d'ella Rovere, in whose service he remained" until his death in 1574, having taught medicine and anatomy in the medical school at Rome (the Sapienza), probably his own Alma Mater (K.B. Roberts). The work was published first in 1714 under his Latin name Bartholomaei Eustachi[i], but had been completed 140 years prior. This exemplar was published in 1975 by Editions Medicina Rara Ltd. (T. Laqueur), London, printed for them by Druckerei Holzer, Weiler im Allgau, from a binding in full burgundy calfskin leather done for them in Stuttgart, West Germany, at the bindery of Richard Mayer. This copy is from the library of eminent Sydney, New South Wales neurosurgeon Dr John Sheehy, an uncommonly accomplished book collector and medico-legal authority, according to the previous owner, the noted paleographer and squidinkulist Andrea Boltresz. Currently only one additional copy available on-line of this Special Limited Reprint Edition of 2500 copies that was split further into an edition of only 300 done in full leather, this being Copy #CCLXVI (#166). Tall folio format, measuring 14" tall and 10" wide. Spine augmented with five raised bands, gilt titling in compartments, quite sharply done, fine publisher's device also in gilt at front cover, perhaps an artistic take on a system of body parts? The black-and-white plates are reproduced from a copy of the original 1714 "Lancisi edition" that belonged once to the so-called Wurttembergische Landesbibliothek, Stuttgart (says the colophon), "Lancisi" being D. J. Mariam Lancisium, physician to Pope Clement, thanked profusely and multiply at Preface and elsewhere. This copy is in Fine condition, marred only by one slightly noticeable and three extremely faint hints of foxing at fore-edge. Housed in the publisher's original paper-covered cardboard slipcase that has performed well. Text wholly in Latin, a deep, sharp, satisfying bite of the font to the brilliant special-made paper of Papierfabrik Scheufelen, Oberlenningen, West Germany. Illustrations are each numbered in Roman numerals and in full-page format, and with full-page legend opposite, detailing each of the numbered parts of anatomy depicted herein, from heart valves to limbic arteries, musculature to facial expressions, blood to organs, tissue to muscles. The author, Bartolomeo Eustachii (c. 1500-1510 - 1574) was an Italian anatomist and is said to be one of the Holy Trinity of the science of human anatomy and physiology (Eustachius, Vesalius and the "other" Columbus) and whose founders disagreed mightily on both empirical and ideal-philosophical conceptions of the body including Aristotle, Galen, Fallopius, and other giants. Ione writes, "As noted, the Egyptian, Biblical, and early Greek thinkers largely assigned cognition and sensation to the heart, rather than the brain" (Handbook of Clinical Neurology, 2010). Somewhat strangely, for Eustachius, though an empiricist, his illustrations based on dissections of cadavers that took place on an anatomy table. Whereas the figures of Vesalius "attempt to copy the natural appearance of anatomical structures," says K.B. Roberts, "Eustachius' figures are maps of human anatomy . . . " Eustachius is most famous for revealing the vena caval ("Eustachian valve") and the thoracic canal, for theorizing the difference between healthy and disease-altered organs, and after him was named the Eustachian tube that drains the ear. The illustrations here resulted from his collaboration with his relative and his pupil, Pier Matteo Pini; together they produced nearly four dozen detailed anatomical drawings of the organs and muscles involved, named the Tabulae Anatomicae Clariviri (T. Laqueur, K.B. Roberts et al.). xliv, [1], 1-115 pp. then Index Rerum, & Verborum, Emendanda, et Addenda, plus colophon. All in, a most handsome, tall volume paying due homage to 16th-century anatomy and physiology, art and collaboration.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .

A Treatise on the Science of Muscular Action

London, England, The Curwen Press, for the Editions Medicina Rara Ltd., . Facsimile Reprint. Hardcover. Size: Folio - over 12 - 15" tall. If you don't normally purchase facsimile reprints, well, neither do I, but if you must, this is the one to purchase. Special Limited Edition facsimile reprint of the 1794 true First Edition, printed then for C. Dilly, and to no little acclaim. This edition is one of twenty-eight hundred such copies that were printed for the members of Editions Medicina Rara Ltd. at The Curwen Press, London. Only 300 of the 2800, however, were bound in full leather, and this copy is one of those, Copy #CCLXXXII, so says the Colophon. It, like the 299 others, was produced at the A.W. Lumsden Bindery, Loanhead, Midlothian, Scotland. Bound extremely handsomely in a short folio format, measuring 13" tall and 10" wide, in full blind-stamped burgundy leather. Housed in a Fine condition, brick-red paper-covered cardboard slipcase with just a touch of sunning along front edges. No date of publication listed, but circa 1970s. This exemplar's virtues include the fact that the plates for this printing were made from a copy of the 1794 original. The title page is followed by an "explanation" of the vignette, verso, then another full page with two black-and-white illustrations in cameo, all the lettering being in extremely flourished calligraphy. Two-page Dedication to Sir George Baker, Physician to His Majesty, then plentiful short blurbs of positive review, then a fulsome Table of Contents, then a lengthy essay. Most of the drawings are by "Kirk," and all but a few engravings are also by him, some being by "Holloway." Thomas Kirk (1765–1797) was a noted English artist, book illustrator, and engraver; his Wikipedia entry notes that he was a student Richard Cosway, enjoyed his first exhibition (of 25 works) at the Royal Academy in 1785, and drew also for "Angelica Kauffman, Richard Westall, and Sir Joshua Reynolds." He died extremely young (age 32) of "consumption" (tuberculosis) (Wikipedia). On the final day of March, 1794, the year of its original publication, the original publisher, Charles Dilly (1739-1807), released a one-page Prospectus that announced this present work, published in one volume in a Royal quarto format, and then priced at two guineas. The Prospectus read: "A physiological, theoretic and practical treatise on the important utility and salutary effects of the science of muscular action accompanied with plain and accurate descriptions of the muscles of the human body, in various and different points of view, distinctly shewing their respective motions as produced by means of a peculiar and well-adapted apparatus for restoring for restoring the power action and strength of the limbs, whether disable by gout, rheumatism, colds, paralytic causes, chronic affections, contractions, or sprains, or weakened by other accidents. The use of this apparatus will be found peculiarly beneficial for promoting the regular tone of muscles, and re-establishing the health of sedentary persons; and will prove useful for children of weak, rickety and protuberant joints. Confirmed by several well-authenticated cases. The whole illustrated by fifteen elegant copper-plates. By John Pugh, Anatomist. The representations of the muscles are drawn and engraved by Mr. Kirk, under the immediate directions of the author." And then follows publishing and printing details galore. The black-and-white illustrations are numbered in Roman numerals, are full-page, and with full-page (opposite) legend detailing each of the numbered parts of anatomy. xvi, [1], 2-106 pp. plus colophon.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .
