Paris, Rue et Hotel Serpente (ma Imprimerie de Demonville al colophon), 1781, 8° (cm. 19 x 11,5) legatura in piena bazzana coeva, dorso a 5 nervi con tassello, titoli e fregi dorati, tagli rossi, risguardi in carta francese, pp. XVI-742-(2) con 9 tavole incise in rame e ripiegate fuori testo. Sigaud de la Fond (1730-1819) subentrò a Nollet alla cattedra di fisica sperimentale del Collegio Louis-le-Grand. Insegnò diverse materie, comprese anatomia e fisiologia, ma il suo più rilevante contributo alla scienza fu nel campo della tecnica sperimentale. Fu un grande divulgatore, conquistando attraverso le sue pubblicazioni un gran numero di laici illuminati. Il Wheeler Gift Catalogue attribuisce a questa opera il merito di dibattere con chiarezza i fenomeni e le leggi dell'elettricità e di tracciare il loro sviluppo storico. L'autore tratta inoltre i fenomeni elettromagnetici e la loro applicazione nel trattamento delle malattie. Lievi abrasioni e spellature alla legatura; fresco e croccante l'interno; nel complesso molto buono. Edizione originale. Ekelof, I, 37; Poggendorff, II, 927; Wheeler Gift Catalogue, 505.

Sigaud became famous in the history of obstetrics and was the inventor of the first symphysiomomy. His positive contributions to science were in the area of experimental technique. He is sometimes attributed with the invention of the glass insulator and the circular glass insulator and the circular glass plate (to replace the glass globe) in electrical machines. In the 1770's Sigaud collaborated with Macquer in investigating the aeriform fluids or ?airs?, newly discovered by Priestley. The experiment is often cited as an anticipation of some of the work done by Cavendish, Lavoisier and Monge on the synthesis of water, but neither Macquer nor Sigaud de Lafond fully recognized the significance of their observation.Full XVIIIth cent. calf, spine richly gilt, worming at joint, ain all good copy.Please notify before visiting to see a book.

L'autore, professore di chimica e fisica a Bourges, fu celebre anche e soprattutto come ostetrico: è giudicato il primo a realizzare la sinfisiotomia, cioè la separazione della sinfisi pubica. Small bookworm holes on first pages, out of text. The author, chemistry and physics teacher at Bourges, was well known as an obstetrician. He was the first one to accomplish a symphysiotomy.

FIRST EDITION. 8 vo. Contemp. mottled calf, rebacked with most of orig. gilt spine laid down. (8), xvi, 400 pp. Five folding engraved plates. Some scattered light staining, old brown ink marks to blank section of p. 400 and to pl. 1; otherwise, a very good, crisp copy. "In the 1770's Sigaud collaborated with Macquer in investigating the aeriform fluids or 'airs', newly discovered by Priestley. In 1776 they burned a quantity of the so-called 'inflammable air' (hydrogen), and by holding a porcelain saucer over the flame they managed to collect a few drops of a colorless liquid both researchers agreed was water. The experiment is often cited as an anticipation of some of the work of Cavendish, Lavoisier, and Monge on the synthesis of water, but neither Macquer nor Sigaud de la Fond fully recognized the significance of their observation."

A few signatures with browning; a very good, crisp copy. "While preparing for his medical degree, Sigaud attended the famous course of public lectures given by Abbé Nollet, who aroused in him such a lively interest in experimental science that Sigaud became first a tutor in philosophy and mathematics and then a demonstrator in experimental science at the Collége Louis-le-Grand. In 1760 he succeeded the Abbé Nollet in his chair at Louis-le-Grand. In 1770 Sigaud became a professor of surgery at the school of Saint-Côme. In 1872 he returned to Bourges, where, after four years, he obtained a chair in physics at the local collége." (D.S.B.). "Including a copious account of atmospherical electricity and lightning conductors, with original investigations by the author himself. He claims in the above work to have been the first to use glass plates with electrical machines in 1756, and describes an improved Leyden Jar constructed by him for measuring electricity."
