A Treatise on the Gout
London: printed for R. Griffiths, 1760. Full Leather. Good binding. Item #4577
Octavo. xv, [1], 384 pp. First English Edition. Translated from the French, Traite de la Goutte. Bound in contemporary speckled calf. Boards have been sensitively reattached; head and tail of the spine leather is chipped with a small portion of the textblock showing; corners and board edges rubbed; notable, early dampstaining to the bottom corner of the textblock throughout. While Liger's work is not necessarily a groundbreaking inquiry into a disorder that was first documented in ancient Egypt, it is, nevertheless, an uncommon work with fairly limited institutional holdings according to OCLC. ESTC T117893.
