Title: Dictionnaire des sciences medicales, par une societe de medecins et de chirurgiens.
Author: ADELON, ALARD, Barbier ALIBERT, et al.
Seller: Jeff Weber Rare Books (Switzerland)
Description: Paris:: Crapart & C.L.F. Panckoucke, 1812-22., 1812. Complete set of 60 volumes. 127 engraved plates, list of subscribers in the index volume, 10 folding charts; occasional foxing, ink and water-stains. Modern quarter green spines over original marbled boards, gilt-stamped black leather spine labels; re-backed. Ex-lib bookplates and ink stamps of the Norwich & Norfolk United Medical Book Society, early ownership inscription of Hudson Gurney. Fine. FIRST EDITION. [19th Century French Medical Encyclopedia] Possibly one of the most important encyclopedia/dictionaries of medicine ever assembled, and certainly the earliest. As Diderot's encyclopedia became the model for assembling scientific knowledge, this massive set brings together all that was known about medicine in the post-Napoleonic era. Included here are numerous engraved plates of surgical instruments of the period. Also illustrated are facial expressions and signs of mental abnormality, many in the style of Esquirol's work. A smaller set, Dictionnaire abrege? des sciences medicales. . . was concurrently published, however that set is only 15 volumes. In 1821-25, Panckoucke published Dictionnaire des sciences medicales Biographie medicale. . . which includes biographies of medical luminaries. Nicolas Philibert Adelon (1782-1862) and Francois Victor Merat (1780-1851) were two of the prominent contributors to this medical encyclopedia. This compendious work was not included amongst the items exhibited by the Library of Congress in their Circle of Knowledge exhibition of the history of the encyclopedia. Panckoucke (1736-1798) was involved with issuing various encyclopedias, beginning with Diderot's Encyclopedie, which, ". . . was an immediate success: a new edition was called for even before the first had been completed. C.J. Panckoucke proposed such a new edition in 1761, and bought the rights to the first seven volumes. He approached Diderot to edit a new, revised edition and, when Diderot refused, began to reissue the original volumes. The government intervened in 1770 and seized the three which had appeared. After the death of the last of the original proprietors, in 1775, Panckoucke published a five-volume supplement to the Encyclopedie and later, in 1780, a two-volume index. The complete first edition comprises Diderot's twenty-eight volumes plus Panckoucke's seven; its publication spanned the years 1751-80." [Circle of Knowledge, (1979) p. 8]. Provenance: Hudson Gurney (1775-1864) was an antiquary and verse-writer of Norwich. He became an M.P. for Newtown in 1816 and sat in six successive parliaments. In 1835 he was high-sheriff of Norfolk, and was elected fellow of the Society of Antiquaries (1819), was vice-president from 1822-46, a fellow of the Royal Society and a member of the British Archaeological Association. As such, Gurney may have been the donor of this set to the Norwich & Norfolk Library. [DNB Vol. VIII, pp. 803-4]. Circle of Knowledge, 1968, 1979; Wellcome II, p. 465.

Description: 1784. First Edition. (CONSTITUTION). The Whole of the Proceedings at the Assizes at Shrewsbury, on Friday August the Sixth, 1784, in the Cause of the King on the Prosecution of William Jones, Attorney at Law, Against the Rev. William Davies Shipley, Dean of St. Asaph. For a Libel. BOUND WITH: An Authentic Copy of the Judgement Delivered by the Right Hon. Earl Mansfield, November 16, 1784, in the Case of the King Against William Davies Shipley Dean of St. Asaph. London: Printed by H. Goldney; Printed for John Stockdale, 1784; 1785. Octavo, modern half calf and marbled boards; pp. (ii), (1), 2-112; (1-3), 4, (5), 6-26 (6). $1400.First edition of this important work documenting the 18th-century English seditious libel trial of Shipley, sparking focus on freedom of speech and the right to a jury trial, issues at the core of the American Constitution with freedom of speech at the heart of the 1735 American trial of John Peter Zenger and America's highly divisive 1798 Alien and Seditious Acts, this preferred rare London edition bound with the first and only 18th-century edition of ""Authentic Copy of the Judgement delivered by Right Hon. Earl Mansfield"" in the trial, key to both English and American legal history.""Seditious libel trials of the 18th century constitute an important chapter in the history of freedom of the press and the growth of democratic government"" (Green, Jury, Seditious Libel, and the Criminal Law). In the 1780s England's Rev. William Davies Shipley, Dean of St. Asaph, had distributed a pamphlet entitled, Principles of Government, in a Dialogue Between a Scholar and a Peasant, published anonymously but actually written by William Jones, Shipley's brother-in-law. It advocated for a number of controversial democratic reforms in parliamentary representation., leading to Shipley's indictment for seditious libel. Famed barrister Thomas Erskine represented him in August 1784 at a trial that ""was to become one of the most noteworthy libel trials in British history... Erskine's eloquent arguments for the expanded rights of the jury in libel cases"" were rejected (McCoy S342; emphasis added). The jury found that Shipley published the material, but that it was not libelous. Unsatisfied with the outcome, the judge, the Hon. Francis Buller, exercised his authority and overruled the jury to find the material libelous and Shipley was found guilty. However his trial proved a crucial first step in reforming England's government to provide greater, democracy-enhancing freedoms such as freedom of speech. Rare preferred London edition: without half title. Issued same year as the Dublin edition and a London edition ""printed and distributed gratis by the Society for Constitutional Information"" (ESTC T52458), no priority established. This copy is bound with the first and only 18th-century edition of An Authentic Copy of the Judgement Delivered by the Right Hon. Earl Mansfield, November 16, 1784, In the Case of the King Against William Davis Shipley, Dean of Asaph. With three leaves of advertisements at rear.

FRENCH LANGUAGE. GARRISON-MORTON No. 534.65 "Dareste devoted his career to experimental teratology, and in this work established the field as a science. The second edition (1891) is greatly revised and enlarged. Contains a valuable history of experimental teratology." CAMILLE DARESTE (1822 – 1899) was a French zoologist and pioneer in experimental embryology and teratology. He initially served as chair of the faculty of natural history at the University of Lille, and was subsequently appointed director of the laboratory of teratology at the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris. Following the work of Etienne and Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, he became a founder of teratogeny, the experimental study of conditions for the artificial production of monstrosities. Beginning in 1855, he produced monstrous chick embryos by using "indirect methods" that exposed the egg to teratogenic factors such as altering incubation temperatures for several hours. In 1877 he was awarded the grand prize in physiology by the Académie des sciences for the first edition of Recherches sur la production artificielle de monstruosités. He discovered that the more serious abnormalities were induced by disruptions at earlier developmental stages. Based on his experiments he proposed five principles of teratology in the greatly expanded 1891 edition of his book (offered here).
