Norman 168; Heirs of Hippocrates 1297; Waller 890; Wellcome II, p 315; Notable medical books from the Lilly Library, p.165. - FIRST EDITION of this important work by Bell, with among the most detailed illustrations of their type to date. Bell studied the brain and the nervous system throughout his life and discovered the two distinct types of nerves, sensory and motor. "In this work Bell displays both his descriptive and artistic capabilities. The twelve aquatint plates (eleven of them hand-colored) were engraved by Thomas Medland after Bell's own drawings and constitute what is probably Bell's most beautiful work on neuroanatomy and one of the most beautifully illustrated in the entire literature" (Heirs of Hippocrates 1297). "The anatomical work of Bell was the most important in the British Isles during the early part of the 19th century" (Garrison-Morton). - Visit our website to see more images!
