Description
LAENNEC (René). Traité de l'auscultation médiate ou traité du diagnostic des maladies des poumons et du cœur, fondé principalement sur ce nouveau moyen d'exploration. Paris, J.-A. Brosson, J.-S. Chaudé, 1819. 2 volumes in-8, basane racinée, smooth spine decorated, marbled edges (period binding). First edition. It was in this reference work that Laennec (1781-1826) laid the foundations of a new medicine based on a true doctrine of auscultation. In particular, he advocated the use of the stethoscope, which he invented. It was with him, and thanks to his research described in this book, that the pathological study of the lung, liver and heart really began. The work is illustrated with 4 folded plates. From the library of Dr L. Sardallion, with stamp on the titles. Joints cracked, headpieces missing, corners dulled, some minor foxing.
