ROUX, Philibert Joseph (1780-1854). Quarante annes de pratique chirurgicale. Edited by Paul Broca (1824-1880). Paris: Masson, 1854-55. 2 volumes, 8o (209 x 131 mm). (Occasional minor foxing and spotting, esp. Vol. I). Contemporary quarter brown morocco, spines gilt, marbled boards (slight wear to extremities, spine head of Vol. I rubbed). FIRST EDITION. "Among the French Surgeons of the 19th century, Roux was second in importance only to Dupuytren" (Garrison-Morton-Norman 4456). Amongst his notable achievements were his work on staphylorraphy, the repair of rupture of the female perineum, and resection of the bone. This work was intended to be a 4-volume summary of all Roux's expertise, but the author died during the printing of Vol. I. A commission led by Paul Broca completed the publication of Roux's manuscript, but cut it from 4 volumes to 2. Waller 8268. (2)
