"As a nosologist, Pinel wanted to take advantage of the progress made in his own days by the natural sciences, physics, chemistry, and botany ... In brief, he wanted medicine to become a branch of natural history. [Thus] it was he, the the alienist, who anticipated the major role we ascribe today to the basic sciences in our curriculum and training." [Riese, The Legacy of Philippe Pinel. NY: 1969]. Inquire | Order $1250.00

"A new advance [in nosology], however, began to take place, especially in France, at the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth century, and this was possible through the important additions to knowledge from a deep study o f pathological anatomy. A pioneer in this advance was Philippe Pinel (1755-1826) in his Nosograpie philosophique (1802). His classification of inflammations (phlegmasiae) was particularly important. He recognized five orders of phlegmasiae a ccording as they affected 1) the skin, 2) the mucous membranes, 3) the serous membranes, 4) the cellular tissue and parenchymatous organs; 5) the muscular, fibrous, or synovial tissue" [Bulloch's History of Bacteriology, pp. 155-156; also se e p. 390].

Slight chipping to the spine tips and corners, else very good with library bookplate and rubber stamp to the title-page of volume one and to several other leaves. Originally published in two separate volumes priced 10 shillings sixpence and 18 shillings. Volume one is the sheets of the 1852 edition, presumably issued with the second volume in this conve nient single-volume form soom after the second volume appeared. Quekett's 1848 book on microscopy was "the first major work on object preparation in any language" [Bracegirdle, p. 32]. Quekett's lectures on histology are to modern eyes "a curious blend o f plant and animal histology, omitting many of the now usual tissues. They were, however, based on his splendid series of preparations, some of which are still to be seen in the Hunerian Museum. This collection was probably the most extensive in the wold by the 1850s; Kölliker stated that it ranked with the Hyrtl collection of injections in Vienna, with the collection of injections and some sections in Utrecht, and with the London collection of Tomes (teeth) and Carpenter (hard tissues of the lower anim als). In fact, this was probably an understatement of its importance, in spite of the fact that the interest and industry of one individual alone was responsible for its creation" [Bracegirdle, A History of Microtechnique, pp. 313-315]. Quek ett was by 1854 Resident Conservator [in 1852 just Assistant Conservator] of the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, and Professor of Histology. Inquire | Order $200.00

The first section is a history of the microscope, the second d eals with its use, and the third (more than half the book) with specimen preparation. This is a thoroughly practical work set out in a properly scientific way. A second edition was issued in 1852, and a third in 1855. An edition in German was published i n 1850" [Bracegirdle, A History of Microtechnique, p. 32].

"Raspail held a prominent place in the development of science in the nineteenth century. In organic chemistry he specified the properties of numerous substances . . .

Although it would be too strong to call him the creator of the modern concept of the cell, the definitions and descriptions he gave of the c ell are truly remarkable. On the basis of precise observations he described the general characteristics of the plant cell long before Mohl . . . . As an expert microscopist, Raspail not only set forth theoretical considerations of great importance but al so made many significant observations. . . . Scientists now agree that he was one of the founders of cytochemistry. As he himself put it, he brought chemical analysis under the microscope. . . . [Raspail] constructed a system of general pathology, which he set forth in his voluminous work on general health and illness . . . [in which] he provided valuable new data on the causes of various diseases. For example, he determined the agent of scabies, the itch mite . . .

Raspail is the founder of histochemistry -- his 1825 paper being the first on the subject ("Développement de la fécule dans les orgnaes de la fructification ..."). Duveen held that this was the first book in which the microscope was successfully used in organic chemistry, though perhaps his 1830 Essai de chimie microscopique ap pliquée à la physiologie, in which he detailed the histochemical tests he had used in his chemical researches.
