Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the trial of Daniel Sutton, an 18th-century pioneer of groundbreaking variolation techniques, better known as inoculation. Variolation was an early medical practice that involved introducing a live virus into a healthy person to induce a milder form of a disease in the hopes of immunizing them against more severe future infections. Sutton's methods stirred controversy among members of the medical community who accused him of practicing witchcraft and preserving the lives of his patients through secret remedies and unorthodox practices. The trial record included here sheds light on the historical debate surrounding variolation, providing insights into the nature and motivations of early innovators in the field of medicine and their struggles against fierce resistance to new ideas within the scientific community. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

First Edition
Couverture souple. Condition: Très bon. Edition originale. In-4° broché sous couverture d''attente de l'époque, exemplaire tel que paru en condition exemplaire, (cf la deuxième photographie de la couverture dans le scan) 8 pages. Le mot inoculation (du latin inoculatio, par l'anglais inoculation a d'abord désigné la variolisation, procédé de traitement de la variole apporté de Constantinople en Angleterre, au début du xviiie siècle et qui consistait à protéger le sujet d'une forme grave de cette maladie en le mettant en contact avec de la substance prélevée sur les vésicules d'une personne faiblement atteinte. En France, ce n'est qu'à partir du milieu du xviiie siècle que s'est diffusée la pratique de la variolisation. La Condamine s'est battu pour son introduction, donnant en 1754, 1758 et 1765 trois mémoires à l'Académie des sciences sur Ğ l'inoculation de la petite vérole ğ. Par une première extension de son sens, le mot s'est appliqué à toute introduction d'un agent infectieux dans un organisme, du fait de l'intervention humaine et dans un but thérapeutique. Ainsi d'abord de l'Ğ inoculation de la vaccine ğ, ou vaccination, méthode également préventive et qui a succédé à la variolisation. Ainsi, plus tardivement, et pour prendre cette fois un exemple de type curatif, de l'Ğ inoculation du paludisme ğ dans le traitement de la syphilis par la malariathérapie. Mais par la suite, le même mot en est venu à désigner l'introduction dans un organisme de tout agent pathogène, volontairement ou non, et du fait ou non de l'intervention humaine. En effet, l'agent peut être un venin, une toxine ou un poison, inoculé par un animal aussi bien que par l'homme et, quand il l'est par l'homme, dans une tout autre intention que thérapeutique.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. James CURRY, "Observations of Apparent Death, etc. Observations sur la mort apparente." which is the French translation of "Observations on apparent death from drowning, suffocation, &c. : with an account of the means to be employed for recovery." Offered in the full volume of "Bibliotheque Britannique, ou Recuell extrait des Ouvrages Anglais periodiques et autres." Geneva, Imp. De la Bibliotheque Britannique, 1800, volume 13, in the Science et Arts series, 420pp. Paper-covered boards and spine. There is a little wear and rubbing to the boards, though overall the binding is quite nice. VERY GOOD. The text is very crisp and bright. [++] The "Bibliotheque Britannique" provided translations of significant and important papers (mostly extracts, or reviews, though with some complete article translations) that were written primarily in English and then translated into French to reach a wider audience in Europe many of these translations were the first exposure to the papers on the Continent. Many of the leading lights were published here including Jenner, Davy, Thomson, Wollaston, Waterhouse, Gay-Lussac, Pictet, and many others. The journal was active 1796-1815 after which it changed direction somewhat and renamed "Bibliotheque Universelle". For more on the significance on the BB, see: "The Transmission of Culture in Western Europe, 1750-1850: Papers Celebrating the Bicentenary of the Foundation of the 'Bibliothèque britannique' (1796-1815) in Geneva" by David Bickerton and Judith Proud.[++] Included in this volume are the massive four-part Curry paper "Observations of Apparent Death, etc. Observations sur la mort apparente." which appears on pp 51-87, 138-172, 239-281, and 329-378 (161pp all together, or about 40% of the entire volume.) "Abstract: In 1791 Curry designed an endotracheal tube similar to Charles Kite s. He further described other instruments which also seemed to be based on those which Kite had described. Curry s primary purpose was to enable non-medical persons to handle emergencies of apparent death before medical help became available."--Wood Library Museum of Anesthesiology (website piece on James Curry) [++] Also bound in this volume: ODIER, "Note sur l'Inoculation de la Vaccine" pp 112-116, with a note by Odier on pp 215-216 and pp 415-416. "Odier (1748-1817) was instrumental in introducing vaccination into France and Switzerland after Edward Jenner's 1796 publication of a method for controlling smallpox by transferring cowpox. In 1760, Daniel Bernoulli had already shown that, despite the risks, the earlier practice of variola inoculation would increase life expectancy by three years, but it sparked many debates. Odier translated the works of Jenner and others, and the first usage of the word 'vaccine' outside of the English language was in his translations."--Wikipedia [++] AND: Dr. (James) Gregory, Edinburg, "A Singular Operation, etc. Operation singulaire pratique aux Indes, et par laquelle on retablit le nez." (on replacing through surgical means an amputated nose). With a plate, occupies pp 281-289. And many others ib this very interesting volume.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Power, Joseph. Compendio storico del metodo nuovo d inoculare il vajuolo.Venice, Carlo Palese, 1770. 8vo. 102p. Contemporary block-printed coloured floral boards; rebacked. Italian translation of a treatise on Daniel Sutton s new method of inoculating against smallpox as employed in England. The new technique, using injection rather than incision, was pioneered by Sutton s father and perfected by Sutton himself. He had inoculated 3000-4000 people by 1766 before any other physician had considered a similar method. Apart from increased safety, it was also possible to inoculate delicate or ill patients (previously perfect health had been a prerequisite) and treatment could be carried out all year round whereas earlier inoculators had favoured the spring and autumn. The first part of the work deals with the origins and progress of inoculation in general, the second provides details of Sutton s system, concluding with a number of attestations to the efficacy of the technique. The author, a pupil of Sutton, composed this work originally in French (published 1769) in order to further inoculation in France. This Italian translation from the French is the only other version available of the text. Blake, p361; Wellcome IV,428.
