Description
liv, [2], 618 pp.; 2 p.l., 400 pp. Two vols. in one. Thick 4to, cont. speckled boards, excellently rebacked in antique calf, gilt, reusing the two red morocco lettering pieces on spine. Paris: G.F. de Bure, 1767. A very rare large paper copy of the extremely uncommon auction catalogue of the first of three sales of duplicates from the library of the duc de la Vallière, who formed by the time of his death in 1780 the most important collection of books of the 18th century. La Vallière, born rich and richer still through several inheritances, began buying in a serious way at the sale of the comte d’Hoym in 1738. For more than forty years, he acquired MSS., books, and entire collections on an enormous scale, buying at every major sale in France (and even in London at the Askew sale in 1775). We know that in one single year — 1774 — La Valliêre bought more than 6000 books. Such a pace of acquisition caused the Duc to have many duplicates and triplicates. This catalogue, which contains 5633 lots, contains duplicate books and MSS. (!). We see that La Valliêre was not above selling unique items: lots 5566-5633 are all precious early French MSS. A fine copy, priced throughout in a contemporary hand. ❧ Guigard, II, pp. 294-95. Peignot, p. 128. Pollard & Ehrman, pp. 247 & 341 & no. 347. Taylor, Book Catalogues, p. 248-49.

Description
24 pp. 8vo (198 x 125 mm.), modern aubergine cloth, title on upper cover. Paris: Félix & Regnault-Delalande, 1819. A very scarce auction catalogue marking the dissolution of Pierre Blaizot’s inventory; WorldCat records no copy in North America. Despite the lengthy interval between his death and this sale, we can identify the seller as Pierre Blaizot (1740-1808) due to the offerings in the present catalogue — prints, maps, and luxury paper — that match the description of his business on the BnF Data site. Blaizot’s page on the site notes that he was orphaned at age 9, but managed to set up an office in Versailles and a store in Paris in 1775. Suspected of selling illicit books, he spent a week in prison in 1782. His business was the target of investigations during the Revolution, leading him to gradually cede control to the bookseller Nicolas Angé. In the final decade of his life, he trained his son-in-law Antoine Hippolyte Etienne (1776-1840) as a bookseller and assisted in the establishment of Etienne’s bookshop. 227 lots, including prints by B. & J. Audran, Balechou, Bartolozzi, Bloemaert, Callot, Desnoyers, Flippart, Ingouf, Morghen, Poilly, Porporati, Rembrandt, Strange, Thouvenin, Wille, etc.; the celebrated books of Le Clerc, du Cerceau, Vitruvius, Blondel, Dupuis, R. & J. Adam, etc.; maps (lots 185-208); engraved plates, and drawings. Lot 148 is a massive group of Le Clerc’s work numbering 3432 pieces which was part of the comte Rigal sale (1817). A very nice copy. In the characteristic binding of the Bibliothèque Heim, with the library’s stamp on the verso of title. ❧ Lugt 9564.

Description
Philadelphia: Lea & Blanchard, 1848. First American Edition.. Original publisher's black cloth.. Very good; cloth split along the front joint.. 8vo, xii, [1] - 216, 32 (adverts - dated 1855) pp. + 6 color plates of cerebral circulation. Burrows studies showed that alterations in the cerebral circulation might be related to apoplexy. Burrows pursued the difficulties of identifying and examining circulation in the brain. Burrows correctly postulated that the cerebrospinal fluid was an important element in the contents of the cranium and that it must be in constant relation to the quantity of blood. Burrows book is one of the few original works on the subject prior to the twentieth century. Garrison/McHenry - '... milestone in the study of cerebral vascular physiology.'
