MONRO, Alexander, secundus (1733-1817). Observations on the structure and functions of the nervous system. Edinburgh: William Creech and Joseph Johnson, 1783. 2 o (479 x 292 mm). 50 engraved plates, drawn by Thomas Donaldson, Alexander Battoni and A. Fyfe, and engraved by Donaldson, Battoni and G. Cameron on 41 sheets including 3 folding (some scattered foxing mostly to text). Contemporary boards, modern calf rebacking (some wear to edges). Provenance : F.P. Mall, Carnegie Laboratory (ink stamp on front free endpaper). FIRST EDITION. A study of the interior and exterior anatomy of the brain. Monro described - though not entirely correctly - the intraventricular foramen between the lateral and third ventricles (later named after the author). He also concluded that nerve function was not dependent on electricity. The most important work of the greatest member of the Monro medical dynasty. Garrison-Morton 1385; Norman 1538.
