Soft cover. Condition: Good. 47 p. 4to. Unopened. Uncut. Old dampstain. Sewn in plain wraps. The eminent surgeon and anatomist Jacques Tenon is best remembered today by a major Paris hospital that bears his name, as well as by a capsule to which the muscles of the eye are attached. But his study of hospitals and medical education in France is his real monument. Tenon, member of the Royal Academies of Sciences, Surgery, and Agriculture, and well connected to the reforming ministers of pre-Revolutionary France, was a pivotal player in the work of a group of scientist celebrities from the Academy of Sciences, under Crown sponsorship, to rebuild the municipal hospital of Paris (1785-1789). The reports he produced and great his 'Memoires sur les Hospitaux de Paris' (1788) remain the most widely cited and influential Enlightenment treatises on the architecture, goals, and operation of what was to become the modern hospital. This is an extremely scarce separate report on the problems of effectively studying anatomy - especially with the difficulty of securing appropriate cadavers (a problem which was plaguing physicians in Italy. England, and America as well). **PRICE JUST REDUCED! FR1 Language: eng.

Couverture rigide. Condition: Bon. Edition originale. 2 textes en 1 volume in-8, XVI , 487 pp. et 14 pp., demi-basane gaufrée XIXe, dos lisse orné, chasses étroites, traces de frottement (mors, coiffes et plats), cachet au titre (Pietro Borla Biella), rares rousseurs, bon exemplaire. On trouve reliés à la suite : 1°). GUYETANT (S.). Le médecin de l?âge de retour et de la vieillesse, ou conseils aux personnes des deux sexes, qui ont passé l?âge de quarante-cinq ans. Paris, chez l?auteur, 1836. Edition originale rare de cet ouvrage devenu classique. Sébastien Guyetant (1777-1865), né à Lons-le-Saunier, fut secrétaire de la Société d'Emulation et correspondant de l'Académie de médecine. Il fera aussi paraître en 1863 de "nouvelles considérations sur la longévité humaine". Cet ouvrage fut très bien accueilli. Nous citerons une critique parue dans la Gazette médicale de Paris en 1836, lors de publication de ce livre : "Destiné à toutes les classes, mais spécialement aux personnes bien élevées, la critique la plus sévère trouvera peu à y reprendre, soit sous le rapport du style qui est toujours simple, mais élégant et facile, soit sous le rapport scientifique, car l?auteur a mis à profit toutes les recherches des chimistes et des statisticiens modernes. Quant à nous le seul reproche que nous lui ferons, c?est sur le titre qu?il a donné à son ouvrage." 2°). TENON (J.). Offrande aux vieillards de quelques moyens pour prolonger leur vie. Paris, Mme Huzard, 1813. Edition originale de cet opuscule rare et curieux. Tenon y expose les méthodes utilisées pour surmonter les multiples infirmités de la vieillesse et pour remédier aux troubles auxquels il était exposé (crampes, oedème des membres inférieurs, .). Jacques René Tenon (1724-1816) fut chirurgien et anatomiste. Il occupa la chaire de pathologie au Collège de chirurgie et entra à l'Académie des sciences. Il fut élu député à la Législative. La notoriété de Tenon et le fait qu'il était nonagénaire lorsqu'il écrivit ce texte ont dû contribuer au succès de cet opuscule. Tenon s'était "fait un devoir de donner connaissance des moyens qu'il avait employés." Il souligne l'importance de l'exercice, de la tempérence, d'une vie régulière, . Cf. Bégin, Biographie médicale (Panckoucke), T. 7, p. 308 : "A qui plus qu'à Tenon, alors nonagénaire, appartenait-il de retracer les règles d'hygiène, en préceptes de modération et de régularité, qu'il avait si bien observés, et dont lui-même démontrait, par l'expérience, les heureux effets ?".

4to, pp. (viii), lxxiv, 472, 15 folding engraved plates (including 1 very large) of hospital plans, 2 folding tables. Faint trace of a small library stamp erased from the title and dedication. Contemporary mottled sheep, spine gilt in compartments (head of spine and tips of corners nicely restored), green morocco label, marbled endpapers. A few unobtrusive scuff marks on the lower cover, but a nice, clean copy. FIRST EDITION. G&M 1600. Tenon?s major monograph on the hospitals of Paris, in which he described the appalling conditions prevailing there, resulted in rapid reforms being made. He had wanted to achieve this for forty years, and when the King commissioned him to report on the hospitals of Paris, he did so in great detail. Contemporary with Howard in England, Tenon was the most important of the early French hospital reformers, and was instrumental in founding a special hospital for children. See Garrison p. 400.

Plein veau blond de l'époque, dos à nerfs orné, pièce de titre rouge, triple filet doré sur les plats, roulettes sur les coupes, tranches rouges, mors fendus en tête et en queue sur 5 cm, coiffes usées, coins émoussés. Intérieur d?une belle fraîcheur; dans l'ensemble, bel exemplaire (condition rare). Edition originale de cet ouvrage essentiel pour l'histoire des hôpitaux et de l'hygiène hospitalière. AN EPOCHAL MILESTONE IN THE HOSPITAL'S HISTORY. Tenon fut chargé en 1785 par le pouvoir royal, par l'intermédiaire de l'Académie des sciences, d'une enquête sur les hôpitaux. Il voyagea pendant 18 mois en Angleterre et en Allemagne, puis rassembla une importante documentation avant de publier cet ouvrage. Tenon révèle les conditions épouvantables régnant dans les hôpitaux parisiens à la fin du 18ème siècle. Il vise particulièrement l'Hôtel-Dieu, dont il reconnaît néanmoins les avantages exceptionnels, n'importe quel homme malade ou nécessiteux pouvant y être reçu à toute heure. Il propose, avec une grande clairvoyance, un ensemble de réformes. Il estime en particulier qu' " il faut des salles pour préparer aux opérations, pour opérer, et pour ceux qui les ont endurées ; il faut qu'elles soient éloignées du bruit et de l?infection." Cet ouvrage eut un effet prodigieux, ayant profondément ému le roi et le public. Ce projet de réformes que Tenon préconise, jugé initialement excessif, fut anéanti par la Révolution avant de servir de guide à la conception de la plupart des hôpitaux d'Europe au XIXe siècle. Tenon indique l'emplacement actuel de l'hôpital qui porte son nom (après s'être appelé Ménilmontant). Les quinze planches représentent des plans d'hôpitaux. Jacques René Tenon (1724-1816), élève de Winslow, devint chirurgien et anatomiste. Il occupa la chaire de pathologie au Collège de chirurgie et entra à l'Académie des sciences. Il fut élu député à la Législative.

He was also instrumental in the foundation of a special hospital for children."; Wangensteen & Wangensteen, pp. 369-371: "an epochal report, outlining specifics for needed reforms. He made many important suggestions and initiated a movement that forcefully brought the lamentable situation in Paris hospitals to the attention of both the profession and the public. Many of Tenon's suggestions are universally in force in hospitals throughout the world today."; Barroux G : Philosophie, maladie et médecine au XVIIIe siècle, pp. 230-233; Greenbaum LS: "Measure of civilization": the hospital thought of Jacques Tension on the eve of the French Revolution, Bull Hist Med. 1975, 49(1), 43-56.
