160pp, [2]. Uncut in original publisher's cream paper boards, title in manuscript to spine. Lightly rubbed and marked, short tear to spine. Internally clean and crisp. The second Italian edition, following the 1777 first (both of which translated from the French version), of English physician, and principal figure in the development of orthopaedics, Percivall Pott's (1714- 1788) pioneering treatise on the treatment of bone fractures. The monograph, first published as Some Few Remarks upon Fractures and Dislocations in 1769, is considered to be his most important contribution to the medical sciences, primarily for presenting the first definitive description of fractures about the ankle and for describing a variety of fracture forms previously merely referred to as a single injury. Size: 8vo.
