John Hunter:THE NATURAL HISTORY OF THE HUMAN TEETH

John Hunter, the father of experimental surgery and the leading medical scientist of the eighteenth century, classified the teeth in a system still used today. He traced their development in the fetus and the child, and established their structure of pulp, bone, and enamel. Considered a classic in both the history of science and medicine, this work combines the first complete analysis of human dentition with exquisite illustrations making it a fine example of late eighteenth century English bookmaking. Our facsimile edition of the very rare 1778 edition captures the charm and felicity of the original, particularly as regards the fidelity of reproduction of the sixteen exquisite engravings of Part I, which were drawn by Van Rymsdyk under Hunter's personal supervision.
