[Joslin Hall Rare Books, ABAA]

Demours, A.P. PRECIS THEORIQUE ET PRATIQUE SUR LES MALADIES DES YEUX.

Paris; Chez L'Auteur: 1821.

Demours, a member of the Royal Academy and the Legion of Honor, is perhaps
most famous for his grand 1818 study "Traite des Maladies des Yeux", which
was illustrated with vivid colored plates. This scholarly work is
dedicated to the members of the Academie Royale de Medicine, and is signed
by the author.

Hardcover. 5"x8", xvi + 598 + a 4-page catalog of other medical books by
the publisher + 2 pages of tiny manuscript writing at the rear. Bound in
full period grained calf with gilt spine decorations, a red leather spine
label, and marbled endpapers. Bookplate of the Janus Foundation. Covers
with some minor scuffing, contents fine and clean. The several pages of
tiny handwritten notes in French at the end are of the period but are
fairly undecipherable. [00784] $250.00
