Treatise on Diseases of the Skin; founded on new researches in pathological anatomy and physiology

16 Prince's Street, Soho: John Churchill, 1833. Octavo, pp xxviii, 398, (ii), slightly age-toned, but otherwise extremely clean and sound internally, a contemporary signature on the front blank [C. Weathers ?], with the half-title, original cloth-backed boards, a little age-toned and rubbed, recently re-cased with new endpapers, the original spine laid down, with the remains of the original paper label very darkened. RARE. Although dated 1835, this is obviously a slightly later issue, as there are two publisher's catalogues bound in at front and rear dayed 1838 and 1839 respectively. This book seems considerably scarcer than the translation of Rayer's other work of 1835. [Pierre François Olive Rayer (1793 - 1867) was a French physician who was a native of Saint Sylvain. He made important contributions in the fields of pathological anatomy, physiology, dermatology, comparative pathology and parasitology. ]. First British edition. Cloth-backed boards. Very Good.
