Quarter mottled sheep paste paper boards vellum corners slightly worn at spine. Light browning & foxing but a fine copy. First Edition. Garrison-Morton 4922. Pinel was one of the first to treat the insane humanely striking the chains from the lunatics at the Bicetre Hospital and implementing his "traitement moral" a compassionate form of psychiatric therapy that identified insanity with illness rather than moral perversity or demonic possession. In his Traite Pinel replaced the theorizing and speculation characteristic of earlier works on mental illness with his own practical observations of the Bicetre's mental patients whose behavior could now be observed undistorted by cruel treatment. He retained the old classifications of mental illness but distinguished mania from delirium and recognized the relationships between periodic mania melancholy and hypochondria. He recognized emotional disorders to be the main cause of intellectual dysfunction but also took into account heredity predisposition and hypersensitivity and attempted to find relationships between insanity and cranial deformity. Pinel founded the Salpetriere's famous school of psychiatry and trained a generation of psychiatrists the most important of whom was Esquirol. Norman 1701. Hunter & Macalpine pp. 602-10.

Engraved title-page followed by 17 numbered engraved plates. Small 4to. 219 x 165 mm bound in contemporary Flemish vellum with title in manuscript on the spine. Preserved in a green half morocco folding box. Antwerp: Galle 1587. First Editions of both sets of prints designed and meticulously executed by Philipp Galle one of the foremost Flemish engravers of the day. These allegorical depictions of classical water deities and personifications of European waterways set male and then female figures among their appropriate geographical environment. The settings often include topographical or mythological iconography i.e. Nilus or the Nile shows a pyramid and obelisk in the background or Lerna with its Hydra in the distance however it is undoubtedly the figures themselves that are of most interest to the artist. They clearly show the influences of High Renaissance Italy with the musculature of the male figures evoking Michelangelo and the elongation of the female figures reminiscent of Parmigiano's Madonnas. Philippe Galle 1537-1612 ranks among his peers Johannes Stradanus 1523-1605 Martin de Vos 1532-1603 Adriaen Collaert 1560-1618 and Maarten van Heemskerck 1498-1574 as being known for introducing Italian art into the Northern Netherlands and influential on Dutch artists of the great period of pictorial art the Dutch Golden Age in the following century. Both sets of prints are rare. We locate a copy of both at the National Gallery a complete copy of just Semideorum marinorum at the Bibliotheque Nationale and a selection of odd plates at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and British Library. A very desirable copy bound in an un-restored contemporary vellum binding with nice impressions of the plates and wide margins. Some insignificant soiling or spotting. Brief early manuscript notes on the verso of seven plates. hardcover books

Overall a superb copy. ìPhilippe Pinelís TraitÈ mÈdico-philosophique sur líaliÈnation mentale ou la manie which presented the textual foundation of psychiatry stands as the first great publication of the nineteenth century in clinical medicineî Grolier Medicine. ìIn October 1793 while serving as mÈdecin des infirmeries at BicÃtre Hospital Pinel 1745-1826 had the chains struck off from forty-nine male psychiatric patients in order to substitute for this cruel oppression his ëtraitement moraleí a humane form of psychiatric therapy that identified insanity with illness rather than moral perversity or demonic possession. This dramatic act performed in the liberating spirit of the American and French Revolutions found immediate and enduring favor in the popular imagination as a symbol of a new attitude toward the insane and ignited a general desire for more humane treatment of the mentally ill that culminated in the English non-restraint movement of the mid-nineteenth century. Yet humanitarian treatment of the insane although crucial to Pinelís psychiatric work was not that workís sole focus for Pinel also devoted himself to establishing psychiatry as a scientifically based branch of medicine. His TraitÈ replaced the speculation and theorizing characteristic of earlier discussions of insanity with his own practical observations of the lunatics of the BicÃtre whose illnesses could now be observed undistorted by cruel treatment. He retained the old classifications of mental illness stating that contemporary medicine was as yet too primitive for more precise categories but did introduce some subdivisions isolating mania from delirium and recognizing the relationships between periodic mania melancholy and hypochondria. He recognized emotional disorders to be the main cause of intellectual dysfunction but also took into account heredity predisposition and hypersensitivity and attempted to find relationships between insanity and cranial deformityî Norman Library.

1864Best.-Nr. 13458Paris: Dusacq & Cie. Editeurs 1864. Hand-coloured lithograph after a painting by Linder. Very good condition apart from some mild rippling a small loss in the top margin and a few skillfully repaired tears in the bottom margin. A beautifully coloured humorous plate that was most likely part of a series published by Dusacq of images by various artists depicting railway related scenes. During the mid-nineteenth century the technological advancement and financial prosperity of France under Napoleon III hastened the development of the railway and other modern modes of transportation such as the omnibus. These improvements brought about a culture of mass tourism as members of various classes flocked to the railroad to take day trips. An archetypal symbol of modern life the railway station became a popular subject during the period and was represented and parodied by artists such as Honoré Daumier and William Powell Frith. It was an ideal place to observe a varied cross-section of society and the idiosyncrasies of human behavior. In the tradition of Daumier's satiric railway scenes from the 1840s and 1850s Linder exploits the comic possibilities of this bustling modern subject in this charming print. The title 'Pleasure Train' was most likely intended as an ironic play on words since pleasure is the last thing enjoyed by the swelling crowd of people on the platform many of whom scream in frustration as they are pushed and prodded in an effort to exit and enter the train. A pupil of the celebrated artist Charles Gleyre Philippe Jacques Linder was a genre and portrait painter who regularly exhibited works at the Salon between 1857-1880. Cf.

1708Best.-Nr. M13627Paris:: Jacques Etienne 1708. 1708. Two works in one volume. 147 x 86 mm. 12mo. xviii 94; xiv 145 7 pp. Decorated initials headpieces; lightly water-stained. Contemporary full calf raised bands gilt spine brown leather spine label marbled end-leaves; rubbed head of spine lightly chipped. Early ms. inscription on half-title. Franco Crainz rubber stamp on title. Very good. FIRST EDITION. Title translates as: "ON THE INDECENCY OF MALE PHYSICIANS ATTENDING TO WOMEN IN CHILD-BIRTH." In this work the pious French physician and theologian Philippe Hecquet argued that it is immodest and indecent to have male accoucheurs deliver their children and that a woman had a "natural right" to have a female midwife deliver their baby. In the second part of this two-part work Hecquet argues that it is a woman's duty to nurse her infant. He documents the problems of producing milk for nursing and concerns about the health of the mother. Philippe Hecquet was "M.D. of Reins 1684 and physician to Port-Royal 1688-93. . . Hecquet . . . had to enter the Paris Faculty as a student in 1694 obtaining the license two years later and the 'bonnet de docteur' in 1697. He was made dean in 1712 and physician to the Charite in 1710." Bibliotheca Osleriana p. 262. See: Blake NLM p. 202; Hirsch III p. 105; Osler 2922 1744; Waller 4176 Paris 1744; Wellcome III p. 232.
