Additional Details

first edition of Rozière's book on pulmonary diseases, containing the first edition in french of Auenbrugger's 1761 Inventum novum, first describing thoracic percussion. Neither the original version in Latin nor Rozière's translation drew much notice, and Auenbrugger's discovery was largely ignored until publication of Corvisart's version in 1808. Norman 82.
