Fouquet, H. Essay on the Pulse in Relation to the Functions of the Principal Organs. Montpellier: J. Martel, 1767. (120, (64), 399, (1), (8), 38, (6) p. With folded engraving. Small 8vo. Contemporary mottled cloth with raised bands, gilt spine decoration, and marbled edges. Spine damaged; joints and hinges weak and partially split. Corners bumped, but interior in good condition. Fouquet was a professor of medicine at Montpellier and a student of Bordeu, whose Hippocratic ideas he shared. His work contains many references to early authors from the time of Hippocrates onward. Bordeu had adopted Solano’s theory that different diseases produce different pulses. He and Fouquet elaborated on the ideas of Solano, who classified the pulse into pulsus nasalis, pectoralis, gutturalis, renalis, intestinales, and sudatorius. Hirsch II, p. 413. The plate depicting someone feeling a pulse. - 25.
