Regular edition, limited to 465 copies. 2 vols, two-tone cloth, 4to, 29 cm, 100 pp. 24 colour plates & 396 black & white text illustrations. A luxurious fully annotated catalogue, with collations, paginations and plate counts, describing some 2,285 significant first editions in the history of science and medicine, together with some 172 items on Freud and some 153 on Franz Anton Mesmer and Mesmerism. Especially strong in association and presentation copies. In a contemporary review, Owen Gingerich wrote: "The significance of each work is succinctly described. Collations include the arrangement of signatures for the earlier books, and provenances generally report the name of the bookseller. Norman's collection includes not only the great works of the Scientific Revolution- Galileo, Kepler, Newton - and more recent names -Babbage, Darwin, Einstein- but also medical works. Vesalius's De humani corporis fabrica (1543) is the colored presentation copy to Charles V; William Harvey's De motu cordis (1628) had been owned by Constantyn Huygens. Because this outstanding collection is so wide ranging, this beautiful (but, alas, understandably expensive) work should become a standard reference for classics in the history of science." Very minor spotting to top edges, otherwise a Near Fine set. Seller Inventory # ABE-57752
