    [Gall, Franz Joseph (1758-1828)]. Bobba, Charles G. Un mot sur les idées du docteur Gall avec un extrait de sa théorie tiré de l'original allemande. 69, [3, including errata]pp. Folding plate. Milan: De l'Imprimerie du Génie Typographique, an I de la République italienne [1802]. 197 x 123 mm. Later boards, hand-lettered spine label. Presentation Copy, inscribed on the title: "A M. le Dr. Mayor / L'auteur." First Edition. After Gall's first account of his system of localized brain function appeared in 1798, Bobba, a member of the faculty at the University of Göttingen, published one of the earliest critiques of Gall's system in Un mot sur les idées du docteur Gall. Bobba began by presenting a French translation of an excerpt from the 1802 reprint of Gall's treatise, enlivened by his own running commentary in the footnotes; he followed this with a 24-page essay attacking Gall's theory of cerebral localization. Scarce, with only two copies cited in OCLC (Bib. Genève; Univ. Bibliothek Tübingen). .
