Sobre este artículo
[vii]-xxviii, 720pp. 2nd (Revised) edition of the English translation (First published in French in as De l'Auscultation médiate (1819), with the 1st English language edition of only 500 copies in 1821). 8 engraved plates by John Pope Vibert (Plates iv and v bound in incorrect order, but both present). Lacking frontispiece portrait of the author and advertising leaf. Title page foxed with tape repairs. Otherwise, largely clean and tightly bound with occasional edge repairs.
Laennec's invention of the stethoscope, which he announced in his 1819 treatise, provided the first adequate method for diagnosing diseases of the thorax and represented the greatest advance in physical diagnosis between Auenbrugger's percussion and Röentgen's discovery of x-rays. The publication of this book revolutionized the study of diseases of the thoracic organs. The second edition is even more important, since it gives not only the various physical signs elicited in the chest, but adds the pathological anatomy, diagnosis, and treatment of disease encountered. Laennec, perhaps the greatest clinician of his time, died of tuberculosis." (Garrison & Morton).
