Description

First Edition, Leather Binding, Very Scarce

A very scarce first edition of this work.

A critical examination of the doctrines and medical proceedings of Jean Francois Sacombe.

Sacombe was an active opponent of caesareans, and was known for his 'Luciniade', a poem about the art of childbirth, which earned him a literary reputation as a madman.

In this work Demangeon attacks Sacombe's works and medical theories.

By Jean Baptiste Demangeon.

Final leaf is the errata.
