8vo. xvi, 920 pp. 339 engraved figures, bibliographic footnotes and index. Early quarter black morocco, five raised bands tooled in blind and gilt title, marbled boards; corners very worn. First edition. Superbly illustrated. "This work, which is one of considerable pretensions, has been written, the author tells us, with the view of placing physiology in a new light, and especially of pointing out its applications to hygiene and to medicine. Observations made in the course of the late wars in France have demonstrated the influence on the success of remedial agents of the constitution and habits of the sick, of the state of the surrounding medium. There are some practical points, he observes (such, for example, as the influence of alcohol on the wounded) which are scarcely more than alluded to in classical works, and are entirely neglected in medical and surgical tyreatises. Having held important offices both in hospitals and on the field of battle, Dr. Le Bon has frequently had the opportunity of testing theories, and he now gives to the world the result of his observations and inquiries. . . " The Lancet: Volume 1, (1874), page 415; Stefan Jonsson, A brief history of the masses: (three revolutions), (2008), page 205; Wellcome 14858792 First Edition.
