About this Item
Stephenson & Churchill, Medical Botany. 4 vols. in 2, 8vo. Unpaginated. 186 attractive hand-colored botanical plates (numbered 1-185, plus an unnumbered plate of "Atropa belladonna" in Vol. I). 19th cent. half calf, marbled boards, a little rubbed. Minor foxing and offsetting from plates, but a very good set. Ownership signature, dated 1871, on endpaper. First edition. A very handsome series, including the Dublin pharmacopeia, which was not used for Woodville's botany. The handsome hand-colored plates make a very good impression next to more celebrated works by Sowerby, Edwards, etc. See G-M 5740 for Stephenson, who was the first to be operated on by Roux for cleft palate, and who first described the operation in his thesis of 1820. Churchill was the great pioneer of acupuncture in England; see Lu & Needham, "Celestial Lancets," pp. 297-99. Nissen 1891. Pritzel 8946. . Seller Inventory # 39705
