Nineteenth century full brown calf, gilt fillets to sides, spine with raised bands and red morocco gilt lettering piece; pp. 64; 136; 40; Denman lacks title page, hinges tender, previous owner's bookplate to front pastedown, very good. First edition of first part of Fordyce, second edition of second part; second edition of Denman. Scarce. Fordyce (1732-1802) was an eminent Scottish physician and eccentric, who always ate the same single meal everyday at four o'clock - a pound and a half of rump steak, plus half a chicken while it was being prepared. Perhaps unsurprisingly he died of gout. This book was used as a textbook for the lectures he gave at the Royal College of Physicians. Thomas Denman (1733-1815) was a specialist in obstetrics who made inducing premature labour in the case of narrow pelvis standard practice in Britain. Second edition of second part of Fordyce especially scarce, not in BL. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 2110355
