Jean A Jeancon

 Cincinnati, O. : Progress Publishing Company, 1885

[Pathological Atlas: Vivid Color Lithographic Plates] Folio; 49 cm.  Publisher's boards, rebacked, with renewed leather spine. Text in two columns.  Plates signed: "W.M. Donaldson & Co. Lith. Cin. O."  [8], 100 pages, 100 color plates on 98 leaves.  Some marginal wear, particularly to preliminary pages. This is the only English translation of any portion of Jean Cruveilhier's "Anatomie pathologique du corps humain" (1829-42). In the first eight sections, devoted to pathological anatomy, the plates are very high quality full-size chromolithographic reproductions of images from Cruveilhier's Anatomie pathologique accompanied by English translations of Cruveilhier's descriptive text, augmented with Jean Jeançon's detailed notes summarizing the findings of later researchers. Remarkably, Jean Jeançon does not credit Cruveilhier anywhere in the publication. The last two sections, probably written by Jean Jeançon, contain more up-to-date information on clinical diagnosis, microbiology, histology, etc.; the plates include illustrations of sphygmomanometer readings, microscopic elements of blood and saliva and the morbid histology of abdominal typhoid (See: Jeremy Norman & Co. Catalogue #51, 2015).
