GALL, Franz Joseph (1758-1828) and Johann Caspar SPURZHEIM (1776-1832). Anatomie et physiologie systme nerveux en gnral, et du cerveau en particulier. Paris: F. Schoell, 1810-1812 [Vols. I-II and atlas], Librairie Grecque-Latine-Allemande, 1818 [Vol. III], N. Maze, 1819 [Vol. IV].
5 volumes (including atlas volume), 2o (545 x 362 mm). 100 engraved plates (including one double-page). Contemporary boards, uncut (modern calf rebacking in antique style).
FIRST EDITION. "This elaborately produced work attests to the fact that, despite his later fall into disrepute, Gall was an excellent anatomist. A number of original anatomical observations are introduced in this five volume work, including the concept of localization of brain function. Because Spurzheim parted with Gall in 1814, only the first two volumes were produced collaboratively. The one hundred plates which comprise the atlas are exquisitely rendered" (Heirs of Hippocrates). Garrison-Morton 1389; Heirs of Hippocrates 1159; Wellcome III, p. 84; Norman 862. (5)
