Descripción

10 1/4 in. x 7 in., 352 pp., 131 in-text woodcut illustrations of plant details, cells, lab equipment, etc. Black cloth spine & printed paper-covered boards. Spine is worn, edges worn, covers show age or lab spotting; inner hinges are nearly separated from the text, but appear to be re-attached. Printed on a thin paper showing some edge tanning & fragility. Bold signature of famous American biologist & pathologist Theobald Smith & date of 1888 in ink at top of front paste down & some pencil marks besides various text passages, most likely also by him. Excepting defects noted above, book is not in that bad of condition for a fragile & not expensively produced students' manual. An important association item. To quote the Columbia Encyclopedia (1950) on Smith: "Smith, Theobald, 1859-1934, American pathologist, born Albany, N. Y., M.D. Albany Medical College, 1883. He was professor of bacteriology at Columbian (now George Washington) University (1886-95) and of pathology at Harvard (1896-1915) and served as pathologist with the Department of Agriculture (1884-95), the Massachusetts state board of health (1895-1915), and Rockefeller Institute (1915-29). He discovered the parasite causing Texas cattle fever and its transmission by the cattle tick, differentiated between human and bovine tuberculosis, and contributed greatly to preventive medicine. He wrote 'Studies in Vaccinal Immunity' (with R. B. Little, 1923) and 'Parasitism and Disease' (1934)." Signed association item. (German text). N° de ref. del artículo ABE-379632714
