COOPER, Astley Paston (1768-1841). The anatomy and surgical treatment of inguinal and congenital hernia . London: T. Bensley for T. Cox, Messrs. Johnson, Longman & others, 1804. [Vol. II: The anatomy and surgical treatment of crural and umbilical hernia . London: T. Bensley for Longman & others, 1807]. 2 volumes in 1, broadsheets. 29 engraved plates by Heath, Parks, Basire and Milton after G. Kirtland, with tissue guards (minor spotting throughout). Modern half morocco, gilt-lettered spine, blue and white boards. Provenance : Western Medical & Surgical Society (presentation inscription "To the Western Medical & Surgical Society from F. Seymour Hartley Oct. 26 1861", stamp on title). FIRST EDITION. "Cooper's contributions to the anatomy of hernia include the discovery of the fascia transversalis, the fascia propria and Cooper's ligament; he also gave the first clear account of the inguinal canal, and an improved description of Camper's fascia" (Norman).
