FIRST EDITION of Cruveilhier's monumental atlas of pathological anatomy, published over thirteen years, in forty separate parts. "The fine hand-coloured lithographs of gross pathology make this one of the greatest works in this kind" (Garrison-Morton). Creveilhier's atlas "has become less dated than some more recent ones that make the most use of the microscope" owing to the accuracy of the illustrations (DSB). Garrison-Morton 2286; Norman 538.
