Later edition (first issued in 1650). There are two issues of this 1682 issue: some copies have a frontispiece portrait of the author, some other copies do not (this is one). / ?All writers on the diseases of children agree in their admiration of this book. Its 416 pages are full of original observation. The propositions arrived at are stated in a scholastic manner, and some of the accompanying hypotheses are associated with physiological doctrines now forgotten, but these are not mixed up with the observations of patients during life and after death, which make the book a work of permanent value.?? - DNB, VII, p. 1316 [for the 1650 London edition]. / ?It is common knowledge that Dr. Whistler's first description of rickets was eclipsed by Dr. Glisson's scientific contribution of five years later. Francis Glisson (1597â"1677), born and raised in Rampisham, Dorset, published a book on rickets, which was particularly appreciated by both the scientific and public communities. His publication ?De Rachitide Sive Morbo Puerili, qui Vulgo The Rickets dicitur, Tractatus? is dated 1650 [55]. Dr. Glisson received the credit, but in the text more contributing authors were mentioned as well. This report has been recognized as the first official statement from a medical college for both scientific and public audiences using physical evidence and inquiry rather than purely theoretical speculation, emphasizing both clinical and anatomical features of the disease with the help of the morbid anatomy. Glisson's book 'De Rachidite' (1650) was inspiring. Glisson, in addition to being Regius Professor of Physics, Cambridge (1636â"1677), and President of the Royal College of Physicians (1667â"1670), was also one of the first fellows of the Royal Society (1663).?

Small 8vo, pp. (viii), 283, 294?373, (4). Title within typographical border, a few woodcut illustrations in the text. Woodcut on p. 320 cropped (as usual?, being larger than the text) but several lower margins still uncut, a few paper flaws without loss, paper slightly browned. Contemporary mottled sheep (a few wormholes in the…lower cover), competently rebacked in the mid-twentieth century with morocco and with new endpapers, three of the four original endpapers preserved, tips of corners neatly repaired with sheep. Signatures of Henry Chapman, 1656, and Henry Wyles(?) on original front endpaper. FIRST EDITION IN ENGLISH. G&M 3729 and 4297.91 (first edition of the year before). Although preceded by Whistler and Boot, Glisson's was the fullest and most important account of rickets to have appeared. He also described infantile scurvy for the first time. In his clinical descriptions, Glisson was one of the earliest to emphasise the importance of morbid anatomy. He included a detailed study of the biomechanics of deformed bones and joints, and an early study of the pathologic anatomy of scoliosis. He used braces, splints and shoes to straighten bowed legs and curved spines, and advocated exercise and massage to overcome muscular weakness. In attempting to correct the deformities of rickets, Glisson?s work did much to advance the treatment of distortions in general. In 1645 the Royal College of Physicians commissioned a book on rickets, at that time considered a new disease. Having eight contributors, the book was one of the earliest instances of collaborative medical research in England. Glisson, however, was by far the major contributor and editor (and his first book), but his chief collaborators, George Bate and Ahasuerus Regemorter, are also named on the title-page. With the exception of Caius on the sweating sickness, a much less thorough treatise, this was the first monograph on a single disease published in England, and hence one of the earliest published works on deficiency diseases. It was universally acknowledged as a classic account, and Norman Moore in the DNB described it as "one of the glories of English medicine". This English edition is exceedingly rare. Only two copies are recorded as having appeared at auction since 1902 (both with damaged or lacking title-pages). Not in Krivatsy (but the library has an imperfect copy). Wing G860, recording only two copies outside England; even so some of these may be the ?corrected, and very much enlarged edition? also dated 1651, which is not in Wing.

First edition. THE FIRST FULL CLINICAL DESCRIPTION OF RICKETS . First edition, co-author's copy, of the first full clinical description of rickets, then thought to have appeared only recently in England, and the first description of infantile scurvy. "In 1645 the Royal College of Physicians assigned to Glisson, Bate and Regemort…er the task of writing a book on rickets - one of the earliest Instances of collaborative medical research in England. Six years later they published De rachitide, which, though not the first, was the fullest and most important account of rickets that had yet appeared [Daniel Whistler's Leiden 1645 dissertation was the first description of rickets as a definite disease]. Glisson's investigation of the essential nature of the disease so impressed his fellow workers that they allowed him to draft the entire book, which combined the observations of the three principal investigators with those of five other contributors. Glisson's account of rickets, his first major publication, occupies chapters 3-14; aside from the clinical material and post-mortem observations on rickets, he deals with such subjects as circulatory regulation, mechanisms of nervous function and the nature of hereditary disease. He denied that rickets was caused by either syphilis or scurvy, and gave the first published description of infantile scurvy" (Norman). "Glisson emphasised the importance of morbid anatomy in the study of this disease and, indeed, described his post mortem findings before giving a description of the clinical signs and course of the disease. He was the first to appreciate that infantile scurvy was a separate entity, although it might coexist with rickets, whereas the profession generally considered them to be one disease until Barlow's paper was published 200 years later. Glisson recognised, too, that rickets were neither congenital nor inherited, were not contagious, nor caused by syphilis. The nearest he came to a nutritional cause was to blame excessive feeding with its resulting indigestion, adding: 'and perhaps this may be reputed among the especial causes why this disease doth more frequently invade the cradles of the rich than afflict poor men's children' . The discovery of this new disease, rickets, in the middle of the 17th century was probably due to the increasing urbanisation taking place at the time, as well as to misguided practices in infant feeding" (Dunn). The list of contributors on A5v includes the three main authors as well as the physicians R. Wright, T. Sheafe, N. Paget, J. Goddard, and E. Trench, making it "hard to tell how much of the classic anatomical and clinical descriptions of the disease belongs to Glisson alone. He claimed originality specifically for chapters 3-14. These are concerned mainly with the nature of the disease, which he believed to be a cold and humid distemper" (DSB). Like Glisson's other works, this one is presented in an archaic, scholastic framework of reasoning. Harvey's new theory is incorporated in the work "as a matter of course" (DSB) in a chapter on regulation of the circulation of the blood. ABPC/RBH list five other copies in the last half-century. Provenance: Ahasuerus Regemorter (1614-50), with his signature on p. 416, holograph corrections throughout (following the printed errata list), and a prescription in his hand at the foot of p. 377; Later signature of James Peiree on recto of front paste-down (detached from board); King's College [Columbia University] Medical School (ink stamp on p. 100); Purchased from H. P. Kraus; Haskell F. Norman (bookplate). "It is exactly three hundred years since Francis Glisson (1597?-1677) published the monograph on rickets which is justly regarded as one of the glories of English medicine. He was the son of William Glisson and was born at Rampisham in Dorset in 1597. He entered Caius College, Cambridge, in 1617, graduated B.A., later proceeded M.A., and became fellow and lecturer in Greek of his college. In 1627 he was incorporated M.A. at.

[48] 458 [14]pp. 2 folding engraved plates, engraved text illustration, text woodcuts. London: Du-Gard for Octavian Pulleyn, 1654. 166 x 111 mm. 17th cent. calf, rebacked, endpapers ren…ewed. Marginal dampstaining, lower edge of pp. 301-2 repaired, other lower edges frayed. Early inscriptions on flyleaf and title. First Edition. G-M 972. The first book printed in England to present a detailed account of a single organ based on original research, and the most important book to date on the physiology of the digestive system. Glisson used advanced anatomical methods, such as casts and injection of colored fluids, which enabled him to illustrate the vessels of the liver (portrayed in the two engraved plates). He described the passage of blood from the portal vein to the vena cava, and proved that lymph flows not to the liver, as was then believed, but from it, passing to the recently discovered capsula communis. This fibrous capsule, which Glisson was the first to describe accurately, is now known as "Glisson's capsule." "Educated at Cambridge, where he later served as Regius Professor of Physic, Glisson was part of the extraordinary ferment in medicine and the life sciences that occured in the two English universities in the earlier seventeenth century. Like his influential colleague and friend, William Harvey, Glisson epitomized the English style of biological research: he was theoretically conservative and non-dogmatic; and at the same time he was committed to a rigorous program of experimentation, precise observation, and accurate description. His principal publications, especially the Anatomia hepatis, join an experimental exactitude and direct observation of the particular with a felt concern to preserve basic Aristotelian and Galenic traditions of natural philosophy. . . . Glisson's classic work on the liver . . . was based on dissections that Glisson had done over a decade earlier. It was the first work to recast fundamentally the physiology of the abdominal organs, to delineate the structure and function of the liver, and to identify and describe the fibrous tissue encasing the liver (Glisson's capsule). It also introduced Glisson's important concept of 'irritability,' in which he argued that irritation was the organism's way of recognizing substances to be expelled. The property of irritability was thus basic to the health of the organism" (Grolier Club, 100 Books Famous in Medicine [forthcoming], 29). DSB. Lilly, p. 67. Norman 911. Russell 322. .
