Description
Paris & Montpellier: Gabon/ Bruxelles: Chez Gabon, 1829. FIRST EDITION. With 7 folding plates. Contemporary calf-backed marbled boards, spine labels; text leaves toned, some browning and spotting. Laid in is a folded piece of paper with contemporary annotations containing a recipe for a topical ointment for skin ulcers and lesions. First edition of Récamier’s work on cancer treatment. He describes the manner of extension of cancer and demonstrates the process of local infiltration. Récamier was the first to recognize the process of metastasis to describe the spread of cancer as secondary growths in the brain occurring in mammary carcinoma; it was in this book that he coined the term. He also described for the first time invasion of veins by cancer. Récamier (1774-1852) was a French gynecologist and master of gross pathology. He is credited with the popularization of several instruments in gynecological medicine. Garrison & Morton, 2610; Norman, 1805; Waller, 7787; Wellcome, IV, 485.

Near Fine
Description
Glenwood Springs, Colorado: Dennis, 1890. Albumen photograph, 7 ¼ x 4 ¾ inches on larger mount. Near Fine. An uncommon cabinet card lampooning the plight of the solitary miner through a series of drawings. The drawings show a man setting out to strike it rich before burying himself in a hole, from which he is eventually rescued. The final drawing shows him relaxing at home with a pipe and his foot in a cast. We find no record of the photographer, only a similarly named E.W. Dennis who was active in Canon City and Colorado Springs during the same era. Fine condition with minimal wear.
