Beschreibung

8vo. xxiii, [1], 440, [2, errata], 4 (ads) pp., half-title. Contemporary half green calf and marbled boards, black morocco spine label; tips bumped, old library stamp to verso of title, spine shelf label, text toned and occasionally foxed "The greatness of Auenbrugger s discovery of the value of immediate percussion of the chest as a diagnostic measure was not recognized until many years after he first published. His little book met with a cold reception, while a French translation by Rozière de la Chassagne in 1770 attracted little notice. But Auenbrugger lived to see the appearance in 1808 of J. N. Corvisart s classic translation of the book, after which the value of percussion was universally recognized. It should be noted that recognition did not occur until nearly 50 years after Auenbrugger first published" (Garrison-Morton).REFERENCE: Garrison-Morton 2672 ; Heirs of Hippocrates 955; Norman 83; Osler 1866; Waller 526; Wellcome II, p. 70.
