Thierry de Maugras - Dictionnaire des plantes médicinales indigènes - 1858

Dictionary of indigenous medicinal plants, written by Doctor Thierry de Maugras (Chief Surgeon). This is the second edition, published in Paris in 1858 by bookseller-publisher C. Dillet. This historic work lists the French flora in alphabetical order and details the therapeutic virtues and traditional remedies of the era (uses of blackcurrant, caraway, catnip/herb of cats, etc.). State of conservation: • Period binding: In full black morocco (or embossed black cloth). The spine is very well preserved with raised bands and gilt titles and rules clearly legible. The boards are clean and the corners are in good condition (very light normal wear on the edges). • Interior: Very fresh, text perfectly readable. The paper has remained bright white with very rare discreet foxing. • Complete: The book comprises 176 pages and indeed contains the publisher’s catalogue at the end (Imprimerie H. Carion). A very beautiful display piece for enthusiasts of herbalism, botany, the history of medicine, or collectors of antique books.
