ANATOMICAL EXERCISES OF DR. WILLIAM HARVEY DE MOTU CORDIS...
by Harvey, William
Number 1028 of 1450 copies. Dreyfus, Century number 51. Bound in full niger morocco with gilt title on spine, and gilt double rule frame with stars in the corners on front and back covers. Printed by Joh. Enschedé en Zonen on Van Gelder paper with the NONESUCH water mark. Fold-out illustration of the valves in the veins of the fore-arm engraved in copper from a drawing by Stephen Gooden. Top edges gilt "on the rough." A landmark edition of an important work--based on the first English text of 1653 and printed on the three-hundredth anniversary of the initial appearance of the work in Latin. Newly edited by Geoffrey Keynes, author of a bibliography of the work of Harvey. A very good copy of the work.
