Aldini (Giovanni). An Account of the Late Improvements in Galvanism, with a Series of Curious and Interesting Experiments Performed Before the Commissioners of the French National Institute, and Repeated Lately in the Anatomical Theatres of London, To Which is Added, an Appendix, Containing the Author’s Experiments on the Body of a Malefactor Executed at Newgate, 1st English edition, 1803, engraved vignette to title, publisher’s advert leaf and four engraved plates at rear, library stamp to title and plates, some heavy spotting throughout and old water stain to upper inner corners of plates, closed tear repairs to upper and lower margins of title-page verso without loss of text, library cloth, spine partly dampstained, 4to. Giovanni Aldini (1762-1834) was Galvani’s nephew and the greatest supporter of his theory of galvanism. Aldini’s experiments, including attempts to revivify dead bodies, were often carried out before audiences in almost theatrical conditions. The spectacles performed on humans, cows, horses, sheep and dogs produced repeated, spasmodic movements of facial muscles, arms and legs. This work was an influential book on galvanism, and presented for the first time a series of experiments in which the principles of Volta and Galvani were used together. It includes the first printed description of the magnetisation of steel needles through connection to a voltaic circuit. For one of his experiments Aldini writes: ‘The first of these decapitated criminals being conveyed to the apartment provided for my experiments, in the neighbourhood of the place of execution, the head was first subjected to the Galvanic action. For this purpose I had constructed a pile consisting of a hundred pieces of silver and zinc. Having moistened the inside of the ears with salt water, I formed an arc with two metallic wires, which, proceeding from the two ears, were applied, one to the summit and the other to the bottom of the pile. When this communication was established, I observed strong contractions in the muscles of the face, which were contorted in so irregular a manner that they exhibited the appearance of the most horrid grimaces. The action of the eye-lids was exceedingly striking, though less sensible in the human head than in that of an ox’. (1)

Anatomy. Report from the Select Committee of Anatomy, ordered, by the House of Commons, to be printed, 22 July 1828, a little dust-soiling at front and rear, title neatly re-hinged, bound with An Act for Regulating Schools of Anatomy, 1st August 1832, printed 1840, pp. [713] - 718, first page with faint library stamp slightly dust-soiled, Birmingham Library bookplate to front pastedown, modern cloth gilt, folio. The Committee for this Report was appointed to enquire into the manner of obtaining subjects for dissection in the Schools of Anatomy and into the state of the law affecting the persons employed in obtaining or dissecting bodies. Until Warburton’s Anatomy Act (1832) the obtaining of enough subjects for dissection remained a difficult problem for British medical schools. The complaints of teachers of anatomy before the Act was passed are presented here in the Report that precedes it. The Act was hastened by the exploits of the likes of Burke and Hare, the infamous body-snatchers. The Act gave anatomists access to ‘unclaimed bodies’, those who had died without any family coming forward to claim them for burial. Previously only bodies of executed criminals were legally available for dissection. (1)

Antommarchi (Francesco). Planches anatomiques du corps humain executees d’apres les dimensions naturelles..., 1st edition, Paris: Impr. Lithographique de C. Lasteyrie, [1823-1826], engraved title with lithographic border, thirty-five hand-coloured lithographed plates, each with accompanying outline plate, faint library stamp to title and each plate, spotting and browning throughout, often heavy, some marginal fraying and old dampstaining to extremities, contents broken and loose in contemporary half morocco over marbled boards, worn, atlas folio (970 x 655mm), together with the companion text volume entitled Explication des planches anatomiques du corps humain..., 1st edition, Paris, 1826, author’s signature to title verso, faint library stamp to title and dedication leaf, heavy spotting and some browning throughout, contemporary half morocco gilt over marbled boards, heavily rubbed and a little worn, folio (535 x 345mm). A rare complete first edition with accompanying text volume of this impressive and important anatomical work. This is known as the pirated lithograph edition of Paolo Mascagni’s ‘Anatomia universa’ (Pisa, 1823-32). This monumental work with its life-size copperplate anatomical images was left unfinished at his death. Antommarchi, who had been Mascagni’s pupil and colleague, edited two of his works following his death in 1815. However, Antommarchi and Mascagni’s heirs quarrelled over money, and by early 1819 Antommarchi left Italy to become Napoleon’s physician at St. Helena, taking with him copies of, among other things, impressions of about thirty plates of the ‘Anatomia Universa’. In 1822, Antommarchi travelled to Paris where he ‘met with the Comte de Lasteyrie, and together they decided to reproduce the Universal Anatomy in lithography, copying the figures from the impressiona Antommarchi had taken when he left for St. Helena. The work proceeded quickly, for they know from a prospectus that the official Universal Anatomy was to start publication, as it did, the next year, 1823... Remarkably, the first of a total of fifteen parts was ready in Paris also in 1823, demonstrating the clear advantage of lithography in terms of speed - an engraver making new plates would have completed the task in years, not months. The first part of the Parisian edition was for sale actually earlier than that of the Pisan edition, and the former completed publication by 1826, while the latter was not complete until 1832. The plates in the two editions are not exactly the same, since in both changes had been made to the original designs; Antommarchi had prepared a few entirely new plates. The size of the pages and images in the two editions were similar (Roberts & Tomlinson, pp 384-96). The Comte de Lasteyrie was one of the founders of lithography in France and these are likely the largest works issued by his press. The life-size figures at the front of the plate volume are shown standing on a Vesalian landscape, a feature not present in the engraved edition. Choulant-Frank pp 319-20. (2)

Dr. Joseph Sampson Gamgee (1828-1886) was a surgeon at the Queen’s Hospital (later the General Hospital) in Birmingham, which he joined in 1857. Here he performed a successful amputation of a man’s leg at the hip joint. The man, a former coal miner, had an enormous growth on the femur with a weight of more than two thirds the weight of the man himself. Gamgee took an interest in all hospital matters and for his efforts to improve hospital conditions, and occasioned a building of a new hospital wing. In 1873 he founded the Birmingham Hospital Saturday Fund and was also the first president of the Birmingham Medical Institute. His son Dr. Leonard Parker Gamgee was also a renowned surgeon of Birmingham. Unusually, this book has no library stamps to the text or plates. (1)

Bright differentiated renal from cardiac dropsy (oedema) and was first to correlate this and the previously observed albuminuria with the nephritic changes observed at autopsy’ (G-M 2285; 4206). ‘The second volume, divided into two parts, is entirely devoted to neuropathology, and contains detailed case histories illustrating brain tumors, hydrocephalus, ruptured intercranial aneurysm, hysteria, epilepsy, post-traumatic necrosis of the tips of the front and temporal lobes, and staining of the meninges in jaundice, as well as many other examples of congenital, neoplastic, infectious and vascular diseases of the brain. The work’s engraved plates, meticulously hand-colored to accord with Bright’s descriptions of the specimens examined, are among the most beautiful of medical illustrations. Most were drawn by Frederick Richard Say, a distinguished portraitist whose painting of Bright now hangs in the Royal College of Physicians of London’ (Norman 341). (3)
