C. L. F. Panckoucke. Dictionaire des Sciences Médicinales, 1814-1820. Full Calf. Very Good. Seven volumes in eight. 8vo. 20.5 by 13 cm. 425 hand-colored stipple engravings. Condition: volume I leather on rear board and upper left of spine with dark, ugly dampstain, and board corner by spine and part of joint has leather completely worn through (area is triangular, with sides about 4 cm each). Otherwise, calf generally healthy and attractive, and set, when on shelf, remains handsome despite the flaw of the first volume. Within, scattered foxing, soiling, and heavy-ish age toning, but most plates read as clean.
