DE LA ROCHE, Daniel.
Analyse des fonctions du système nerveux.
Genève, Du Villard fils & Nouffer, 1778.
Two 8vo (177x110 mm), 48-272 pages / 334 pages. binding : Contemporary full calf, spine with six compartments. Fresh copy.
First edition. Daniel De la Roche was a doctor and naturalist, he was to run the Necker hospital after the Revolution. His books are sometimes confused (as Quérard [II, 440] does) with those of his son, a doctor too.
The question of the role of nerves in sensations is discussed at length. A very good copy.
