Title: Traité de la Suppuration Author: Quesnay, [Francois] Place: Paris Publisher: Chez la Veuve d'Houry Date: 1770 Description: [x], 432, iv, 88, [3] pp. With woodcut decoration on title, woodcut head-pieces. (12mo) original calf, raised spine bands, gilt compartments, spine label lettered in gilt, marbled endpapers. Enlarged Edition. Quesnay (1694-1774) served as physician to Louis XV, and in the following decade he embarked upon a series of economic studies and publications that proved of considerable influence on the study of economics and society. Although this work is clearly of a purely medical nature -- suppuration, its treatment and prevention -- there might be some inclined to suggest that occasionally the topics have some commonality. Lot Amendments Condition: Some wear to binding with rubbing to extremities, minor corner bumps, joints starting, small label on spine; ink stamp of Mayor Dr. Ch on title page, offsetting to endpapers, light scattered foxing; very good.
