Traduit du Suédois, de feu M. Nils Rosen de Rosenstein, Chevalier de l'Etoile-Polaire, Président de l'Académie Royale des Sciences de Stockholm, Médecin de la Famille Royale, 1 vol. in-8 reliure de l'époque pleine basane marbrée, dos à 5 nerfs orné, Chez Pierre-Guillaume Cavelier, Paris, 1778, XII-582 pp. et 1 f.
First french translation of this work, considered by Sir Frederic Still as "the most progressive which had yet been written". "It gave an impetus to research which influenced the future course of paediatrics. Rosen was the founder of modern paediatrics and was particularly interested in infan feeding" (Garrison & Morton, 6323). Première traduction française de cet ouvrage, considéré par Sir Frederic Still comme "le plus avancé qui ait jamais été écrit". "Cela a donné une impulsion à la recherche qui a influencé l'évolution future de la pédiatrie. Rosen a été le fondateur de la pédiatrie moderne et s'est particulièrement intéressé à l'alimentation des nourrissons." (Garrison & Morton, 6323). Etat très satisfaisant (coiffe sup. arasée, mq. au dos en queue, coins frottés, bon état par ailleurs).
Stockholm, Wennberg et Nordström, 1771. 8vo. Uncut in a very nice recent full calf binding (by Henning Jensen) with four raised bands, gilt lettering and ornamentation to spine and blindstamped frames to boards. A very fine copy. (4), 540, (34) pp.
The improved and expanded third edition of this seminal treatise on paediatrics. “Sir Frederic Still considered this work ‘the most progressive which had yet been written’ it gave an impetus to research which influenced the future course of paediatrics. Rosen was particularly interested in infant feeding. The Underrattelser were originally published in the calendars of the Academy and were later collected and issued in book form in 1764” (Garrison-Morton). It is widely recognized as the inaugural textbook of pediatrics. The book addresses various subjects such as smallpox, smallpox inoculation, teething, measles, breastfeeding frequency, and the impact of breastfeeding on infant health. It displayed foresight as it recommended feeding young children diluted cow's milk through a sucking bottle, and advocated for covering children's food to prevent insect contact, emphasizing other hygienic precautions. Nils Rosén's insights extended to accurate descriptions and prescriptions for scarlet fever, whooping cough, diarrhea, and other illnesses. Nils Rosén lived and worked during a period when Sweden struggled with poverty, a low average life span, and a child mortality rate exceeding fifty percent. In 1753 Rosén initiated the publication of articles in small almanacs by the Royal Academy of Sciences. These articles covered children's diseases, breastfeeding, nursing, and preventive medical treatments, presenting novel findings from empirical research. Eventually compiled and edited, these articles formed the basis of the work. The book achieved widespread influence, translated into numerous European languages and becoming the most widely disseminated Swedish textbook globally. Over the 18th and 19th centuries, it underwent twenty-six editions in ten different languages. Anders Sparrman, one of Linné's 'apostles,' translated it into English during a circumnavigation with Captain James Cook on The Resolution (1772-75). (Garrison & Morton 6323 - the first edition).
