PAVLOV, Ivan Petrovich (1849-1936). Letskii o rabotie glanvikh pishtshevaritelnikh zhelyoz. [Lectures on the function of the principal digestive glands]. St. Petersburg: [Kushnereff], 1897.
8° (179 x 123mm). Diagrams in text. (Some light spotting, old ink stains on recto of penultimate leaf, small repair to blank verso of final leaf.) Contemporary Russian black roan-backed cloth, spine gilt-lettered (corners worn).
FIRST EDITION. Pavlov became director of the Department of Physiology at the Institute of Experimental Medicine in St. Petersburg in 1891, and delivered these lectures in 1896, the year before their publication. Like Freud's researches in psychology, Pavlov's surgical experiments were uniquely his own work and marked a completely new departure in medical science, introducing to the physiology of digestion the notion of 'conditioned reflexes' or automatic responses to stimuli. Garrison & Morton 1022: 'Pavlov made perhaps the greatest contribution to our knowledge of the physiology of digestion. Especially notable was his method of producing gastric and pancreatic fistulae for the purpose of his experiments'; Grolier/Horblit 83; PMM 385.
