FRIEDRICH MIESCHER (1811-1887) De inflammatione ossium eorumque anatome generali. G. Eichler 1836 xiv, 281 pp., 4 leaves of plates. 24.9 cm.

This well-known student of Johannes Müller (see No. 1631 ff.) served successively as professor of pathology, anatomy, and physiology at Berlin, Bern, and Basel. Miescher discovered nuclein and was also the first to suggest the existence of a genetic code. In this book, Miescher discusses the embryology and growth of bone as well as the various inflammatory diseases that afflict the skeletal system. The work also contains Müller's Observationes de canaliculis corpusculorum ossium atque de modo, quo terrea materia in ossibus continetur illustrated with four very fine lithographic plates.
