Item description from seller

Octavo size, 45 pp. Sir Percivall Pott (1714-1788) is considered one of the greatest surgeons of the eighteenth century and is thought of as one of the founders of orthopaedics; he was the first scientist to connect environmental causes to cancer (chimney sweeps' carcinoma). He received several honours for his work, including Election to Fellowship of the Royal Society, Honorary Diploma of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, and Freedom of the Irish College (n.b., from the web site of PubMed Central). He is perhaps best know for his "Treatise on Ruptures", which was based on personal experience. "In 1756, he had a fall from his horse during his visit to the Anatomy School in Covent Garden and sustained an ankle fracture. He, against advice, did not opt for amputation and survived the incident and wrote his famous 'Treatise on Ruptures' " (ibid). Two years later, he had additional thoughts on a certain type of rupture which he did not address in his first treatise (per his comment on page 5 of this work). This is the first edtion of that work. Scarce: we were unable to locate any in the trade, a single auction record (per RBH) and eleven with institutions. ___DESCRIPTION: Marbled paper wraps with the text block glued in; binding octavo size (7 7/8" by 5"), pagination: [iii-iv] (title page with blank verso), v-vi (dedication), 1-41; note that this copy is lacking the half-title leaf, which would have been pp. [i and ii]. ___CONDITION: Overall very good condition, the paper wraps are clean, the textblock is sound and square, and there are no prior owner markings; missing pp. [i-ii] (half title), and slight age toning to title page. ___CITATION: ESTC No. T18942. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note the following: (i) additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs, please inquire for details; and (ii) any taxes, duty, or tariffs charged by your country will, of necessity, be your responsibility. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
