First French edition. ""Burton was the first to suggest that puerperal fever is contagious"" (Garrison & Morton No. 6268 (Engl. ed.). - Waller No. 1667 (only the Engl. ed.). - Wellcome II, p. 277. There seems to be published an additional part (or is it so that a 12mo-edition from the same year is published in 2 vols.), although the present volume is a finished work.
