About This Item
Paris,: Chez l'Auteur; Durant et Didot,, 1780.. 2 works in one volume: iv, 320, [iv,approbation]; 90, [iv, approbation] pp. Small 8vo (10,5 x 17,5 cm.). Contemporary half dark brown calf, spine richly gilt decorated "á la grotesque", gilt lettered red Morocco label (small tear [ca. 3 cm.] in the gutter of the front side). A nice copy of the first edition of both works. There are 4 later editions, the last in 1805. The author, "ancien chirurgien-major de la Marine" was a great advocate of catheterisation. According to a contemporary review, the work on urology has some interesting point of views, but written in a horible style. In both work Guérin strongly oposite quackery and urge the public not to deal with charlatans. Rare. Hirsch II, 688; Dezeimeris II/1, 656; Wellcome III, 175.
