FIRST EDITION. "Baudelocque is associated with the technique of
pelvic mensuration, the principles of which had been developed by
Smellie... He invented a pelvimeter, and taught that the anteroposterior diameter of the pelvis could be reliably estimated by
measuring the external conjugate of the pelvis, now usually referred
to as 'Baudelocque's diameter.' This doctrine held sway until the
advent of x-rays, which revealed its inadequacy." (Norman 138).

Second edition of one of the most important pre-Vesalian works of

anatomy, expanded and revised, with more finished versions of the
woodcuts. Berengario, who taught anatomy and surgery at Bologna
from 1507, was the first anatomist to publish treatises on anatomy
based on his own dissections. Between 1521 and 1523 he issued a
series of three works illustrated with woodcuts which were the first
works since Galen - over a thousand years earlier - to display any
considerable amount of original anatomical information based upon
personal investigation and observation. Berengario's first original
anatomical work was a commentary, over 1000 pages long and
illustrated with a woodcut title-page and 21 full-page anatomical
woodcuts, on the Anatomia of Mondino, a 14th-century dissection
manual. "The Commentarla ... was the first work since the time of Galen
to display any considerable amount of anatomical information based
upon personal investigation and observation, and ... must be
considered the most important forerunner of Vesalius' Fabrica" (D.S.B.).
He followed that work one year later with a condensation entitled
Isagoge Brevis republishing the same woodcuts. This was a practical
manual of dissection consisting of 72 leaves. One year later Berengario
produced this revised and expanded second edition of 80 leaves with additional woodcuts - his last and
definitive contribution to anatomy.
The second edition of Beregario's Isagogae added three more
anatomical woodcuts, as well as some revisions to the illustrations that
had appeared in the first edition. "These alterations and additions
emphasize the anatomy of the heart and brain, and include THE FIRST
PUBLISHED VIEW OF THE CEREBRAL VENTRICLES FROM AN ACTUAL
DISSECTION." (Norman, 189). The architectural title-border was first
used in Berengario's Commentaria (1521). Here it has been altered to
read "Maria" instead of "Leo P.X.," and Berengario's surname "Carpus"
appears both in the architrave and the vignette. The shield has also
been altered to read "YHS."
Berengario's woodcut illustrations of muscle men posed before a
landscape background, while lacking in detail in comparison to those in
Vesalius's Fabrica, make a bold and aesthetically graphic statement, and
represent the model on which Vesalius based his series of larger and
more scientifically portrayed muscle men. "There are six dramatic
woodcuts of men standing four square with their legs apart... The
muscles are indicated by lines representing in a diagrammatic way the
direction of the muscles fibers. In all but one the figures show us their
own dissected parts by holding skin and muscle flaps away. All stand in a sketched-in landscape with a few
hillocks and a few grass tufts or weeds. The second plate is the most dramatic; behind the gesturing man are
bold rays of light in a dark sky--technically and aesthetically a fine
woodcut." (Roberts & Tomlinson, p.71). Some of the woodcuts do
however show the influence of predecessors and contemporaries notably the illustration of the bones of the hand, which bears close
similarities to a drawing from one of the notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci
(Roberts and Tomlinson, p.77). Berengario was also the first to begin to
incorporate into anatomical woodcuts some of the theatrical props that
Vesalius' images would later make more famous. For example, one of
Berengario's muscle men stands holding a rope, by which cadavers were
typically suspended for muscle study. The rope was also a reminder that
anatomists typically studied the bodies of criminals who had been
executed by hanging as their bodies were better preserved than those
who had been executed in a more intrusive manner.
The first edition is virtually unobtainable; this second edition is also
quite scarce, with only 3 copies sold at auctions in the past 30 years, all
of them smaller in size and cased in rather recent bindings.

First Edition and very rare when complete (portrait and plate no. 2 are
often lacking). "Bidloo, professor of anatomy at The Hague, was at one
time physician to William of Orange. An English contemporary,
William Cowper, furnished his Anatomy of humane bodies almost
completely with engravings plagiarized from this book by Bidloo, who
promptly and publicly excoriated Cowper in a published
communication to the Royal Society. Before the days of copyright, this
is one of the most famous instances of plagiarism in the history of
medicine...These plates are considered among the finest illustrations
of the Baroque period,..." (Heirs of Hippocrates 667).
"The value of Bidloo's 'Anatomia' lies chiefly in the 105 fine
copperplate engravings drawn
by Gerard de Lairesse, and engraved by Pieter van Gunst. These are
masterpieces of Dutch baroque art" (Garrison-M).
"One of the finest anatomical atlases of the Baroque period. The 105
plates were drawn by the painter Gerard de Lairesse, under whose
influence the French style of Poussin and Lorraine became dominant in
Holland. For Lairesse, the anatomical illustrations Bidloo asked him to
undertake were an occasion for an artistic meditation on anatomy: he
displayed his figures in an emotional, almost tender manner, contrasting
the raw dissected parts with the full, soft surfaces of uncut flesh, placing
flayed, bound figures in ordinary nightclothes or bedding, setting
ordinary household objects such as books, jars or cabinets in the same
scene as cut-up torsos or limbs, and in one plate showing a fly crawling
on an opened abdomen. His illustrations brought the quality of Dutch
still-life painting into anatomical illustration, and gave a new, darker
spritual expression to the significance of the act of dissection. According
to the most recent scholarship, the plates were probably engraved by
Abraham Bloteling, inventor of the rocker tool for mezzoprint

engraving." (Norman 231)

th
"The book took six years to make, and it was not a best seller, even by 17 -century standards. The publisher
probably sold the plates to try to recoup some of his losses. But today, the 100 copies still in existence are the
prized treasures of the worlds great academic libraries, among them Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Yale and
Vassar" (Vassar College Libraries).

RARE FIRST EDITION of this photographic atlas devoted to cases of hysteria and epilepsy, accompanied by case
histories. The third volume includes discussions of hypnotism, somnambulism and magnetism. Bourneville was
Charcot's assistant at the Salpetriere from 1870 to 1879. In 1862 Charcot became physician to the hospital of
the Salptrire, with which his name will always be associated. Here, from small beginnings, he created the
greatest neurological clinic of modern times, which was followed by enthusiastic students from all parts of the
world. This collection of numerous cases of epilepsy, &c., is important on account of the brilliant photos taken
at different stages of the attacks by two of the most gifted of Charcot's pupils.

Those dealing with the other four sense organs are new. Among them, in the especially important section
dealing with the EYE and VISION (pp. 257--346) are the first pictorial representations of the conjunctival glands,
later known as the Meibomian glands (cf. Garrison-Morton 1481). All the plates, according to Choulant-Frank,
are done with unusual care and are anatomically exact. Casserius anatomy of the sense organs is of great
importance in medical history, since for the first time he adds to a complete account of each human organ a
full study of the same organ in various animal forms.

FIRST EDITION, the rare issue with title vignette and engraving on verso of the
second plate LVI printed in red. "THE MOST FAMOUS AND AMONG THE MOST
ARTISTICALLY INTERESTING OSTEOLOGICAL ATLASES EVER PRODUCED" (Norman).
Printed on thick paper and large folio format allowing natural-size illustrations of the
separate human bones. According to Russell, "nearly all" the vignettes and four of
the large plates were drawn by Jacob Schijnvoet (1685-1733), and the remaining
plates were the work of Gerard van der Gucht (1696-1776). To maximize the
accuracy of the large plates of adult, fetal and pathological bones Cheselden used
the camera obscura, which he was the first
to employ for the purpose of book
illustration. He also personally supervised
both the drawing and engraving processes.
400 copies were printed, but only a small
number of books were sold to subscribers.
"This work, with its magnificent plates
depicting the human skeleton, separate and
articulated, still ranks among the best
osteographic atlases. It shows normal adult,
fetal, and some pathological bones with
great accuracy. Cheselden lost a considerable
amount of money on the production of his anatomical atlas because so
few copies were sold. As a result, many of the sets were broken up so
the plates could be sold separately in order to reduce the amount of his
losses. Because of this, complete copies of this work are rare. All
complete copies, as here, contain the text and a double set of plates.
One of this set is lettered and has descriptions on the verso of each
plate; the other set is unlettered with no descriptive information."

"This splendidly designed and illustrated work contained full and accurate descriptions of all the human bones,
as well as many of animals. Cheselden is the first person to have used the camera obscura to gain precision in
his illustrations, and the vignette on the title page shows him using this instrument." (Garrison/M.)

Important first collected edition, very rare. Fabricis best known and most important medical work is his classic
monograph on the venous valves, De venarum ostiolis, firt published in Padua in 1603 and reissued with four
other works in 1625 under the general title Opera anatomica and Opera physica anatomica, respectively. This
tract, published originally as an unbound folio pamphlet consisting of 23 pages of text and 8 engr. Plates, has
been described as one of the rarest and most beautiful works in the history of anatomical illustrations. Among
the plates is the well-known depiction of the surface anatomy of the veins of the forearm that William Harvey
adapted to illustrate his De motu cordis. Although Fabrici did not fully appreciate the functional significance of
the venous valves, hist work was a crucial precursor of Harveys discovery. As Harvey told the British physicist
and chemist Robert Boyle, i twas his recognition of the significance of Fabricis observations and his own
realization of the function of the venous valves that led him to conceptualize the circulation of the blood
(Grolier, Medicine, p.104).
Fabricius's De Venarum Ostiolis (On the Valves of the Veins) was the first detailed demonstration of the
existence of venous valves, and it contains the first extended illustrations of them. It was the immediately
significant precursor of the De Motu Cordis of William Harvey, who studied for two years at Padua where
Fabricius was Professor of Anatomy; and Harvey used the great double-plate of the veins of the arm in his own
book 25 years later. Apart from his importance in relation to Harvey, Fabricius has in recent years been
increasingly recognized as a man of mark in his own right; and in 1933 a translation, with reduced-size
facsimile, was made of the De Venarum Ostiolis by K. J. Franklin (History of Science Society, through Charles C
Thomas, Springfield, Illinois). The most striking feature of the splendidly produced editio princeps is the series
of full-page plates. As Franklin says: "The sumptuously printed folios which Fabricius published in 1603-1604
were issued separately, and unbound. Though they escaped Choulant's notice, they are among the rarest and
most beautiful works in the history of anatomical illustration. The plates are magnificent; in fact nothing on
their scale had been seen since the days of Vesalius." In addition to its significance in the history of anatomy,
the De Venarum Ostiolis is a book of the highest rarity. Copies without the title-leaf are sometimes found, as in
this case, bound with other works of Fabricius under a general title dated 1625.

Exceedingly rare first edition of Van Helmonts treatise on Fevers, published two year
before his death. In it, he rejects the traditional Galenist methods to treat fever,
especially the blood-letting and argues against the wide-spread opinion that fever is
caused by decay or rotting (W. Pagel, Joan Baptista Van Helmont: Reformer of
Science and Medicine). Lavoisier regarded Van Helmont as a very important, even
pioneering, figure in the development of the chemical methods and knowledge with
which Lavoisier was working. One of his most
remarkable comments deals with Van Helmonts
discussion of gas, a forerunner of the airs so
important to the pneumatic chemistry of the 18thcentury. He wrote that we are astonished... to find
an infinite number of facts, which we are accustomed
to consider as more modern, and we cannot forebear
to acknowledge, that Van Helmont has related, at
that period, almost every thing, which we are now
acquainted with,on this subject... It is easy to see that
almost all the discoveries of this kind, which we have
usually attributed to Mr. Boyle, really belong to Van Helmont, and that the
latter has even carried his theory much farther. (W.R.Newman et al., Alchemy
Tried in the Fire: Starkey, Boyle, and the Fate of Helmontian Chemistry, 2002,

FIRST EDITION. The Anatomy of the Human Gravid Uterus, on which
Hunter labored sporadically for thirty years, primarily with the artist
Jan van Rymsdyk, is one of the great masterpieces of medical graphic
art and printing. One of the main reasons for the book's excessively
long gestation was Hunter's difficulty in obtaining the cadavers of
pregnant women for dissection. By 1751 van Rymsdyk had completed
ten of the red pastel drawings, which Hunter exhibited publicly and
used in his lectures. The positive reception of the drawings encouraged
Hunter to undertake publication of an atlas; however, problems in
obtaining dissection material, and the great success of his obstetrical
and teaching career, inevitably created delays. Compounding this were
Hunter's ambitious plans to expand the atlas, which eventually was
published with 34 plates. "It is indeed a remarkable book, not the least
important aspect of which is the large size of the plates, which Hunter
took care to defend in the preface. For him, the technical quality of the
plates was of great importance; they combine descriptive clarity with
beauty. The work contains thirty-four plates of different kinds; some
depict several objects, others a life-size section of the human body--the female trunk between the abdomen
and the middle of the thighs. Some plates are packed with detail, others are more schematic, showing large
parts in outline only. Facing each plate are a short description and a
key..." (Jordanova, p. 386). Remarkably 17 different engravers were
employed producing the 34 plates in Hunter's atlas. Of these Sir Robert
Strange engraved only two, but he is thought to have supervised the
rest of the group. Strange had studied anatomy at the classes of the
first Alexander Monro, and is supposed to have drawn for Monro. In
1750 Strange was working for William Hunter in London. Strange spent
time in Paris and Italy, and after 1760 became an art dealer, selling to
Hunter a number of master works now in the Hunterian Museum,
Glasgow. According to Roberts & Tomlinson, Strange was knighted in
1787 for engraving "a sentimental picture of two dead royal Princes."
In format the Gravid Uterus was the largest book printed by the great
printer John Baskerville, and one of two medical books issued from his
press; it is also among the very few medical books issued from a
private press. The original drawings, from which the engravings were
made, are preserved in the Hunterian Collections at the University of
Glasgow Library. Like certain other labors of love, sales of Hunter's
atlas did not equal the passion of its author. It was originally issued for
6.6s, but remaindered in 1784 after Hunter's death for 3.13s.6d.

FIRST EDITION of Kerckrings investigations into fetal development. Kerckrings
most important and far-reaching contribution, presented in part two of the
Spicilegium anatomicum, was his discovery that the fetal skeleton develops
through the transformation of membrane and cartilage into bone. He 'was the
first to describe Kerckrings ossicle, an occasional center of ossification in the
occipital bone' (Norman); his name is also preserved in the valvulae conniventes,
or valves of Kerckring, a part of the small intestine, previously described by
Falloppio, and studied in part I of the Spicilegium.

sets forth his mistaken theory that the younger fetal skeleton is a mere miniature
of the older fetus, backing his claim with reported "observations" of
unprecedentedly early specimens, but it is clear from his illustrations that he was mistaken about their age and
structure. He was correct, however, in stating that the ovaries of both oviparous and viviparous contain ova.

Small folio authorized edition of Masgagni's great Anatomia Universa. As incredibly spectacular as the images
of the Anatomia Universa were, Antonio Serantoni, the artist responsible for the drawing, engraving, and handcoloring of that enormous work, recognized that its great size made it excessively expensive and virtually
impossible to use. Therefore, three years after completion of the elephantine edition he issued a new edition
as a normal-sized folio from Florence, with reduced versions of the spectacular hand-colored plates, and many
changes. It is from this version that the work is generally known.

strumae`contains one of the best early discussions of malignancy and benignancy in breast tumors." (Norman).
"The book's twenty plates are among the first to depict pathological lesions and to include diseased organs as
well as complete views of the individual with the tumor. He includes all manner of tumors and swellings under
the term 'abscessus' and describes their surgical treatment in detail. In the chapter on breast neoplasms he
delineates four types and differentiates quite clearly between the concept of benign and malignant tumors"

FIRST EDITION OF THE "FOUNDATION TREATISE ON THE EMBRYOLOGY OF THE
HIGHER ANIMALS" (Horblit 9a). "Continuing the work of his friend and collaborator
Christian Heinrich Pander, Baer observed the formation of the germ layers and
established the germ layer theory. He described the way in which the layers
formed various organs by tubulation, and he emphasized that the development of
the embryo is from the apparently homogeneous to the obviously heterogeneous.
In this he finally refuted the long held and much discussed theory that embryonic
parts might be preformed in the egg. The publication of this book provided a solid
basis for the further systematic study of mammalian development" (Grolier
Medicine, p. 215). After the publication of volume I, there was a delay of nearly 10
years while the publisher waited for Baer to complete volume II. In 1837, at the
insistence of subscribers to the work, the first part of volume II was published with
an explanatory note stating that the author had submitted copy only slowly during
the period from 1829 to 1834 and had then ceased to respond to the publisher's
inquiries about his progress. The final portion of the text (not included here) was published only in 1888, 12
years after Baer's death, when it was edited by Ludwig Stieda, who
also wrote a biography of Baer.
With his discovery of the mammalian ovum a search ended that
had begun over 150 years earlier when Harvey propounded that all
animals come from eggs. 'In his more extensive work 'De ovi
mammalium et hominis genesi' published in 1827, Baer gathered
together with great knowledge and scrupulous care all the known
facts of embryology and followed in detail the development of the
classical subject of embryological research, the hen's egg. He
proceeded from this to study the embryological development of
the vertebrates in general and subsequently to propose four basic
principles which provided a sound basis for the foundation of a
new branch of science' (PMM 228b).

studied the embryotic development of non-vertebrate animals and

The third and most important edition. The first edition was a dissertation printed for
private distribution only and is practically unobtainable. "Blumenbach was the founder
of anthropology... he classified mankind into four races, based on selected
combinations of head shape, skin colour and hair form... his famous terms 'Caucasian,
Mongolian, Ethiopian, American, and Malayan' were not used until the third edition of
1795" (Garrison-M. 156).
Blumenbach 'was preceded by Tyson and Linn who had prepared the ground for his
studies by relating man to the order of the primates. Linn had distinguished four races
of man chiefly by the color of their skin. From these premises Blumenbach was able to
develop the thesis that all living races are varieties of a single species, homo sapiens,
and that their differences were
small compared with those
between man and the nearest
animal; "innumerable varieties of
mankind run into each other by
insensible degrees". It is not surprising therefore that
Blumenbach was opposed to the practice of slavery and the
then current belief in the inherent savagery of the colored
races' (PMM).

This is the first appearance of Brown's groundbreaking paper on random molecular
movement, (the phenomenon that now bears his name) in a journal and the first
"obtainable" issue (preceded only by the exceedingly rare private print). "In 1827
Brown, while making microscopical observations, saw that pollen grains of the herb
'Clarkia pulchella,' while suspended in liquid, engaged in a continuous, hap-hazard,
zig-zag movement. Surprised at what he saw, he continued similar experiments with
other substances - including inanimate bodies such as minerals and smoke - and
found that when the particles were very small, they all possessed the same motion
(PMM 290). Browns 'Brief Account' was first printed as a pamphlet in small number
for private circulation. Most copies known of this private print have been presented
by Brown to colleagues (see Norman 353). There has been some debate whether
this appearance or that in The Philosophical Magazine of London, the same year
(see Norman 354) constitutes the first published edition, but a priority could not be
determined. Sparrow, Milestones of Science, no. 31 cites this paper in the

animals that had long since become extinct... Cuvier knew how to make great strides in studying these
creatures and could endow this study with new accuracy. His famous paleontological reconstructions had the
living being as their point of departure... before witnesses he removed from a stone block the marsupial bones
of a small opossum fossil, bones whose existence he had surmised on the basis of the conformation of the
visible part of the skeleton. As early as 1804 Cuvier had the idea of reconstructing the musculature of extinct
animals from imprints left by the muscles on the bones; then he merely had to imagine the skin over the
muscles and the animal was practically brought back to life" (DSB).

sense could have evolved through processes of natural selection. In discussing
man's ancestry, Darwin did not claim that man was directly descended from
apes as we know them today, but stated simply that the extinct ancestors of
Homo sapiens would have to be classed among the primates. This statement
was (and is) widely misinterpreted by the popular press, however, and caused a
furor second only to that raised by the Origin. Darwin also added an essay on
sexual selection, i.e. the preferential chances of mating that some individuals of
one sex have over their rivals because of special characteristics, leading to the
accentuation and transmission of those characteristics (Norman)

show that the same mechanisms hold good for flowering plants in general. "In 1881
(1880) Charles Darwin and his son Francis demonstrated that the perception of light is
located in the stem or root tip, whilst the tropic response (curvature) takes place distally,
and they therefore inferred that something must be transmitted through the intervening
tissues in order to elicit it. The importance of this work and the conclusion drawn from it
was appreciated by Pfeffer, who cited it in his textbook of plant physiology..." (A.G.
Morton, History of Botanical Science). The work became nearly Darwin's last work.

First edition of Ehrenberg's scientific study on "blood rain". His microscopic examinations were primarily based
on dust samples collected by Charles Darwin during the Beagle voyage.
Ehrenberg, born April 19, 1795, was appointed professor of medicine at Berlin University in 1827. In 1829 he
accompanied Humboldt through eastern Russia to the Chinese frontier. After his return he began to
concentrate his studies on microscopic organisms, which until then had not been systematically studied. For

nearly 30 years Ehrenberg examined samples of water, soil, sediment, blowing dust and rock and described
thousands of new species, among them well-known flagellates such as Euglena, ciliates such as Paramecium
aurelia and Paramecium caudatum, and many fossils, in nearly 400 scientific publications. He was particularly
interested in a unicellular group of protists called diatoms, but he also studied, and named, many species of
radiolaria and foraminifera. These researches had an important bearing on some of the infusorial earths used
for polishing and other economic purposes; they added, moreover, largely to our knowledge of the
microorganisms of certain geological formations, especially of the chalk, and of the marine and freshwater
accumulations. Until Ehrenberg took up the study it was not known that considerable masses of rock were
composed of minute forms of animals or plants. He also demonstrated that the phosphorescence of the sea
was due to organisms. He was a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences from 1836 and a foreign
member of the Royal Society of London from 1837. In 1839, he won the Wollaston Medal, the highest award
granted by the Geological Society of London. He continued until late in life to investigate the microscopic
organisms of the deep sea and of various geological formations. He died in Berlin on June 27, 1876.

the distribution of plants and to characterize geographical-ecological plant associations

First edition, first state (without leaf 402bis of "second eddition") of Lamarck's first
published statement of his theory of evolution, the inheritance of acquired
characteristics. Lamarck's first public presentation of his theory of evolution was in
his opening discourse for his course on invertebrates at the museum in 1800; it
was published the following year at the beginning of his Systme des animaux
sans vertbres. The evolutionary views sketched in the discourse leave much to be
desired in terms of organization and explanation. They are, however, very much a
part of a total view of nature, many aspects of which Lamarck had long accepted...
In the two branches of living organisms, Lamarck pointed out the 'degradations' in
structural organization of the larger classificatory groupings or 'masses' as one
moved down the series from the most complex to the simplest... Nature, after
having formed the simplest animals and plants directly, produced all others from
them with the aid of time and circumstance. In 1800 Lamarck did not explain how
spontaneous generation occurred or how unlimited time and varied circumstances
produced all other organisms. He did suggest that, for animals, changing
circumstances and physical needs led to new responses which eventually
produced new habits; these habits tended to strengthen certain parts or organs
through use. Gradually new organs or
parts would be formed as acquired
modifications were passed on through
'reproduction' (DSB)
Lamarck had first presented his theory
of 'evolution' (a term not yet used in
this context) in the opening discourse of his course on
invertebrates at the Museum dHistoire Naturelle in Paris in 1800.
First printed in the present work, the 48-page Discours douverture
contains Lamarcks first statement of his theory of the inheritance
of acquired characteristics, and of his idea of the progressive
process of species differentiation, from the simplest to the most
complex. The Systeme represented a definite advance in zoological
classification. In it Lamarck 'separated spiders and crustaceans
from insects, and classified worms into truer categories than had
Linne. He separated animals into vertebrates and invertebrates,
introducing the latter term' (Dibner).

Norman 1264. RARE. FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST FULL-LENGTH EXPOSITION OF
LAMARCKS THEORY OF EVOLUTION. In this expanded presentation of his theory,
first enunciated two years earlier in the Systeme des animaux sans vertebres,
Lamarck attempted to explain the reasons for and modus operandi of the
evolution of animal and plant species. 'Lamarck believed that changes in species
occurred over time as the result of two
factors: first, a natural tendency in the
organic realms towards increasing
complexity, as a means of explaining the
hierarchical groupings of the major
groupings... of animals and plants; and
second, the influence of the environment
as the factor responsible for all
deviations from this norm' (Norman).
'Lamarcks conception of a natural tendency toward increasing
complexity [in living organisms] provided a perfect complement to his
views of the mineral kingdom with the opposite natural tendency. In
both cases a long time span allowed nature to do her work and local
circumstances explained irregularities. Among living beings,
irregularities included all organisms below the level of the masses;
which usually meant classes but sometimes was extended to orders
and families, never to genera and species' (DSB). This work contains
two of Lamarcks most famous hypotheses: 'spontaneous generation,
as a means of generating the simplest life forms; and the development,
through repeated use, of new and heritable organs, as a means of
producing more complex species' (Norman).

The personal copy of Thomas Molyneux (16611733), Irish physician, professor of Physic at Trinity
College and fellow of the Royal Society of London.
The visit of Molyneux to Leeuwenhoek's home in
1685 on behalf of the Royal Society to inspect his
microscopes is well documented in the literature.
Molyneux gave a report of his visit in a letter dated
February 13, to the secretary of the Royal Society,
Francis Aston. It was read at a February meeting:
I have hitherto delayed, answering your last, because I could not give you an account of Mynheer
LEEWENHOECK; but last week I was to wait upon him in your name: he shewed me several things through his
microscopes, which 'tis in vain to mention here, since he himself has sent you all their descriptions at large. As to
his microscopes themselves, those, which he shewed me, in number at least a dozen, were all of one sort,
consisting only of one small glass, ground, (this I mention because 'tis generally thought his microfcopes are
blown at a lamp, those I saw, I am sure, are not) placed between two thin flat plates of brafs, about an inch
broad, and an inch and a half long. In these two plates there were two apertures, one before, the other behind
the glass, which were larger or smaller, as the glass was more or less convex, or as it magnified. Just opposite to
these apertures on one side was placed sometimes a needle, sometimes a slender flat body of glass or opaque
matter, as the occasion required, upon which, or to its apex, he fixes whatever object he has to look upon; then
holding it up against the light, by help of two small screws, he places it just in the focus of his glass, and then
makes his observations. Such were the microscopes, which I saw, and these are they he shews to the curious
that come and visit him; but besides these, he told me he had another sort, which no man living had looked
through setting aside himself; these he reserves for his own private observations wholly, and he assured me
they performed far beyond any, that he had shewed me yet; but would not allow me a sight of them, so all I can
do is barely to believe, for I can plead no experience in the matter. As for the microscopes I looked through, they
do not magnify much, if anything, more than several glasses I have seen, both in England, and Ireland: but in
one particular, I must needs say, they far surpass them all, that is in their extreme clearness, and their
representing all objects so extrordinary distinctly, for I remember we were in a dark room with only one
window, and the sun too, was then off of that, yet the objects appeared more fair and clear, then any I have
seen through microscopes, though the sun shone full upon them, or though they received more then ordinary
light by help of reflective specula or otherwise: So that I imagine 'tis chiefly, if not alone in this particular, that
his glasses exceeds all others, which generally the more they magnify the more obscure they represent the
object; and his only secret I believe, is making clearer glasses, and giving them a better polish then others can
do. I found him a very civil complaisant man, and doubtless of great natural abilities; but, contrary to my
expectations, quite a stranger to letters, master neither of Latin, French or English, or any other of the modern
tongues besides his own, which is a great hindrance to him in his reasonings uppon his observations, for being
ignorant of all other mens thoughts, he is wholly trusting to his own, which, I observe, now and then lead him
into extravagancies, and suggest very odd accounts of things, nay, sometimes such, as are wholy irreconsileable
with all truth. You see, Sir, how freely I give you my thoughts of him, because you desired it. (Dobell, p.57).

First edition and one of the grandest productions of the Royal
Society, with the rare frontispiece; this handsome folio contains
the collected works of Malpighi (1628-94), the founder of
histology and the greatest of the microscopists; they are today
very scarce on the market. The first title is the first complete
edition of his collected works published during his lifetime; all
three works are splendid examples of bookmaking. Included
here are Malpighis great masterpieces on the anatomy of
plants, the embryonic development of the chick (which makes
him the founder of descriptive or iconographic embryology), the
anatomy of the silkworm (the first monograph on an
invertebrate), the discovery of the existence of capillaries (which
completed the chain of the circulation of the blood postulated
by Harvey), and his observations on the lungs (which overthrew
the current conceptions of the pulmonary tissues demonstrating
their true vesicular nature). Malpighis writings were first
collected in Le Clerc and Mangets Bibliotheca Anatomica
(Geneva: 1685), but without his Anatome Plantarum and De
Bombyce. Also, the two folio volumes of this London edition are
far more handsomely printed, in much larger type, and the
drawings are beautifully reproduced and widely spaced upon the
plates (Adelmann, I, p. 509)
