Ricord, Philip. ILLUSTRATIONS OF SYPHILITIC DISEASE. TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH BY THOMAS F. BETTON, M.D. WITH THE ADDITION OF A HISTORY OF SYPHILIS, AND A COMPLETE BIBLIOGRAPHY AND FORMULARY OF REMEDIES. COLLATED AND ARRANGED BY PAUL B. GODDARD, M.D. WITH FIFTY LARGE QUARTO PLATES, COMPRISING 117 BEAUTIFULLY COLORED ILLUSTRATIONS. Philadelphia: A. Hart, Late Carey and Hart, 1851. 13 by 10 1/2 inches in original gilt and blind stamped brown cloth; rebacked with new endpages and the original backstrip laid-down. Complete with 50 full page hand-colored lithographs printed by P.S. Duval of Philadelphia and hand-colored by Mr. T.R. Jones. From the preface by Mr. Goddard: "The admirable illustrations which have been the result of the great care are the most graphic and beautiful delineations which have ever appeared in a medical work. I have endeavored, in the following pages, to present to the American practitioner a clear, faithful, and literal translation of M. Ricord's "Clinique Iconographique de l'Hopital des Veneriens," accompanied by copies of the original illustrations as perfect as the state of the art in our country would permit. Great pains have been taken with this portion of the work, and I feel safe in asserting that the finish and coloring of the plates in this volume are fully equal to the original French copy, and better than some copies which have been more recently imported from Paris." See Garrison-Morton 2382 and 5202.
