DALTON, John Call (1825-1889). Topographical Anatomy of the Brain. Philadelphia: Lea Brothers, 1885.
3 volumes, 4o (348 x 280 mm). 48 heliotype plates, each with duplicate in outline. Original cloth, gilt-stamped on front covers and spines (some light rubbing, some light wear to spine ends, front free endpaper of vol. 1 detached). Provenance: Howard Charles Gale (ink stamp and inscription on front flyleaf of each volume); Endicott College Library (ink stamp on title-pages, library call numbers on spines).
FIRST EDITION OF THE OUTSTANDING AMERICAN NEUROANATOMICAL ATLAS OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY, and one of the best American photographically illustrated medical books of the period. Dalton was the first experimental neurophysiologist in America. His atlas, which was published in a small edition, contains precise photographs of vertical and horizontal sections that equal modern works. "The photographs are of a superlative order and beauty, and made from specimens and cross-sections which could not be duplicated out of hand" (Choulant-Frank p. 409). McHenry, Garrison's History of Neurology p. 179. (3)
