First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 1 leaf, 31 pp; 2 figs. (Frontispiece = fig. 1). Original boards. Very Good. Reprint of Forbes's English translation of Garrison-Morton 2672 (citing 1st Latin ed., 1761): 'The greatness of Auenbrugger's discovery of the value of immediate percussion of the chest as a diagnostic measure was not at first recognized. His little book met with a cold reception, while a French translation by Rozière de la Chassagne in 1770 attracted little notice. But Auenbrugger lived to see the appearance in 1808 of J. N. Corvisart's classic translation of the book, after which the value of percussion was universally recognized.' See annotation to Garrison-Morton 2672 for this edition by Henry Sigerist.
