Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. [JENNER, EDWARD.] "An inquiry into the causes and effects of the variolae vaccinae, Recherches sur l'origine & les effets d'une maladie connue dans quelques Comtés de l'Angleterre, & particulierement dans Gloucestershire, sous le nom de Petite vérole des vaches." in the "Bibliotheque Britannique, ou Recueil Extrait des Ouvrages Anglais periodiques et autres; des Memoires et Transactions des Societes et Academies de la Grande-Bretagne, d'Asie, d'Afrique et d'Amerique." Geneva, 1798, volume 9, 400pp, 4 folding tables not related to the Jenner, (paginated (3)-400, complete). First publication in French, and first printing of this epochal paper in translation, following its first appearance in London in 1798. The translation and thus popularization of Jenner in Europe was the work of the celebrated Genevan/Swiss Dr. Louis Jean Odier (1748-1817), who also introduced the word "vaccine" to the continent and the first time the word appears in French. The Jenner appears on pp 258-284 and is continued and completed on pp 367-399. [++] Bound very tightly in paper covered boards. The binding is very strong and the text exceptionally clean and crisp.I even consider the margins to be somewhat generous (not by a lot, but noticeable). Overall a very strong copy of a great classic, one of the all-time high achievements in the history of medicine. [++] After a short paper describing his results was rejected for publication in 1797, Jenner published a much longer and complete version in 1798 as "An Inquiry into the Causes and Effects of the Variolae Vaccinae, a disease discovered in some of the western counties of England, particularly Gloucestershire and Known by the Name of Cow Pox." It initially met mostly with yawning attention, but the ideas soon became accepted, with much of England attuned to the idea of vaccination before the end of the year. " "Following the publication of Jenner s book the practice of vaccination was adopted and spread with astonishing speed."--Complete DSB online. [++] "Jenner must be considered the founder of immunology; in vaccination he made the first use of an attenuated virus for immunization. For his coining of the term virus" his effort to describe the natural history of the cowpox virus, and his description of anaphylaxis, he must be considered the first pioneer of the modern science of virology."--Complete DSB online.

Written between 1250 and 1256, De Legibus et Consuetudinibus Angliae [The Laws and Customs of England] is the first treatise on English law. A systematic work, it emphasizes the separation of procedural and substantive matters and also cites cases as sources of at least intellectual, if not formal, authority. Both the principles formulated in this work and its use of precedents determined the development of English law and established the method adopted by Littleton and Coke. In Maitland's words, it is "the crown and flower of English medieval jurisprudence" and "by far the greatest of our medieval law books." This copy belonged to Arthur Henry Holland-Hibbert, 3rd Viscount Knutsford [1855-1935], of Munden House, Hertfordshire. He served as both a justice of the peace and High Sheriff of Hertfordshire. His bookplate was engraved by Sir Henry Badeley, who designed bookplates for a number of important clients, including the House of Lords Library. Maitland, Collected Papers II:43.
