Vouilléme, Berlin 4259. ‘‘ In his three great biological works, the ‘ History of animals’, the ‘ Parts of animals’, and the ‘ Generation of animals’, Aristoteles discusses many biological problems current to this very day. He laid the basis of the doctrine of organic evolution in his teaching concerning the ‘ scala naturae’, he developed coherent theories of generation and heredity, and he founded comparative anatomy’ (Singer, Anatomy). 7.

A monument in the history of medicine. This French edition of that monumental work which from its first edition in 1761 remained unappreciated and unobserved until its revival through Corvisart in 1808, is only mentioned by Neuburger in his study on Auen- brugger (1922) und wnknown to the other bibliographers. Except the Vienna-Latin-edition of 1763 (copies of which are quite undiscoverable and equally rare as copies of the 1761 first edition) and a Latin reprint in Wasserberg’s ‘‘ Fasciculus ’’, 1775, our present edition of 1770 is the only one of this fundamental work between 1761 and 1808. — Auenbruger’s little book is the-~ first record of the use of immediate percussion of the chest in diagnosis, based upon observation verified by postmortem experiences and experiment. 9.
