‎---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE dans sa reliure anglaise d'origine - Deuxième édition REVUE ET AUGMENTEE ---- Russell "British anatomy" N° 104 : "This edition has added a ten-page letter dated 16 July 1698 from Dr. Bernard O'Connor to Dr. William Briggs on muscular motion. Richard Lower's appendix of the heart occupies pp. 177/183. On pp. 171/176 is a tract by John Bernoulli "Mathematical disquisitions concerning muscular motion communicated in the Lypswick transactions" with its own plate" ---- "John Browne, physician to King Charles II, James II and William III, was primarily a surgeon who practiced for a number of years at Norwich and later was surgeon to St. Thomas'Hospital, London. His most important contribution was one of the clearest early descriptions of cirrhosis of the liver... Browne was subjected to a scathing attack by James Young (1647/1721) in which the present work was shown to be plagiarized from works of Casserio and William Molins. The thirty-seven anatomical plates were, with few exceptions, taken from Lolins'Myekotomia. Browne did not respond to Youngs criticism, but did make extensive changes to his text and issued future editions of the book under the title Myographia nova...".
