Description

Publishers' Original Binding, Scarce

The scarce first series of these lectures.

The first series was first published in 1872, and a second and third series were later published in 1881 and 1889.

Translated from the original French by George Sigerson.

Jean-Martin Charcot was a French neurologist and professor of anatomical pathology.

This volume includes lectures on disorders of nutrition, paralysis, sclerosis, seizures, hysterical ischuria, hysterical hemianaesthesia, and hystero-epilepsy, alongside other discussions of diseases of the nervous system.

With vignette illustrations.

Condition

In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, very smart. Bumping to back strip head and tail, with small light marks towards board tails. Hinges strained, but firmly held. Pencil inscription to half title head. Internally, firmly bound. Light handling marks to title page, with pages otherwise clean and bright.

Very Good
