Item description from seller

London : John Churchill, Princess Street, Soho., 1839, 8°, XII, 478 pp., 6 lith. plates, orig. cloth; rebacked. First Edition! Minimally stained, with ex-libris of Thomas Archer on verso of title page. Bound in front a publisher's catalogue by Churchill "Works of Medicine, Surgery, Midwifery, and the collateral Sciences. London October, 1838. William Benjamin Carpenter (1813-1885) first became known for his handbook "Principles of General and Comparative Physiology" (1839), in which he designed a teaching system for general biology for the first time. In London, he carried out microscopic studies on shell construction and structure as well as on the systematics of foraminifera (monograph 1862). At the Naples Zoological Station, he investigated the structure of hairy stars.[4] In addition to physiological studies, he carried out deep-sea research from 1868. Among other things, he organised the Challenger expedition (1872-1876) and was involved in the discussion about the pseudofossil "Eozoon canadense". He described the ideomotor effect, named after him Carpenter effect, for the first time in 1852. He proposed the "sensory ganglion" (thalamus) as the seat of consciousness in 1853.
