[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

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 pages of tiny 
handwritten notes in French at the end are of the period but are fairly 
undecipherable.
