[Chemistry] [Pharmacy] GEOFFROY (Etienne-François): Tractatus de materia medica, sive de medicamentorum simplicium. Historia, virtute, delectu & usu. Parisiis, Joannis Desaint & Caroli Saillant, 1741, 3 volumes. 12 by 19.5 cm. (4)-197-(3)-318-(6) pages + 1 folding plate; (4)-794-(6) pages and (4)-836 pages. Contemporary full calf, 5-rib spine, ornate bindings, red title-pieces. Minor old and well-executed restorations, very good condition of binding. Paper sometimes slightly foxed. 1) De fossilibus ; 2) De vegetabilibus exoticis ; 3) De vegetabilibus indigenis. First edition. Conlon 41: 497; European Americana 741: 93; Muller, Biblio. des Kaffee 91. "Previously 1st published, London, 1736, as Geoffroy's "A treatise of the fossil vegetable, and animal substances that are made use of in physick", which purports to be based upon a ms. of the author's lectures. American plants include balsam of Peru, cacao, ipecacuanha, Jamaica pepper, Virginian snakeroot, etc." (European Americana). "Etienne-François Geoffroy, a native of Paris, was a master apothecary and doctor of medicine in Paris. Geoffroy proposed a classification of chemical substances according to their greater or lesser "disposition to unite" with a reference substance. The idea that some substances could unite more easily than others was not new, but Geoffroy took credit for bringing together all available information in a large general table, later called the affinity table. The controversy between him and Louis LEMERY, one of his colleagues at the Académie, bears witness to the new way of practicing science, with everyone putting forward a conjecture that they tried to corroborate with experiments, and proposing new experiments to refute the opposing conjecture. This new art of scientific debate was to provide a solid foundation for the emerging science of chemistry.

Frontispiece with portrait of the author. Frontispiece in red and black. Typographic mark on title page. Xyl initials and friezes. Text in two columns. Slight flourishing and browning on some papers. Good copy. Bound with: MUSGRAVE, William. De arthritide anomala, sive interna dissertatio.Genevae: apud fratres de Tournes, 1715 Pp. [14], 170.Typographic mark on title page. Xyl initials and friezes. Text in two columns. Slight flourishes on some papers. Good copy. Rare edition of Sydenham's collection of works containing a series of dissertations on epidemics in various cities and regions of continental Europe during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Among the authors represented are Ramazzini, Lister, Hamilton, Drelincourt, and many others. Thomas Sydenham (1624-89), one of the main founders of epidemiology, revived the Hippocratic methods of clinical observation and personal experience. His detailed analysis of malarial fever, measles and numerous other diseases is based on his first-hand clinical observations. He can be regarded as the founder of a new clinical school dominated by the sound criterion of common sense, dedicated to an objective study of pathological symptoms. William Musgrave (1657-1721) is famous for his writings on the throat. His important medical works concerned arthritis and its effects. His publication De arthritide sintomatica included the first scientific description of "Devonshire colic," later cited by John Huxham and George Baker. SYDENHAM, Thomas.
