LAENNEC, RENÉ-THÉOPHILE-HYACINTHE. Traité de l'Auscultation Médiate et des Maladies du Coeur . . . Seconde Édition, entièrement refondue. 4 uncolored double-page etched plates with aquatint showing 8 subjects. Half-titles. 2 volumes. 8vo, early 20th-century 1/4 calf; text variously foxed, plates generally clean. Paris, 1826
"In the first edition (1819), Laennec pursues the analytic method, giving the different signs elicited by percussion and auscultation, with the corresponding anatomic lesions . . . In the second edition (1826), the process is turned about and the method is synthetic, each disease being described in detail in respect of diagnosis, pathology, and (most intelligent) treatment, so that this edition is, in effect, the most important treatise on diseases of the thoracic organs ever written"--Garrison, History of Medicine, page 412. Garrison-Morton 2673 note; Norman 1255.
