Kupferstichtafeln, feiner Kalbsledereinband, 5 Bünden, mit reichlicher Rückenvergoldung; auf den ersten Seiten leichter Wasserrand; feines Exemplar. FIRST EDITION - mottled calf, back richly. "Work of merit in which the phenomena and laws of electricity and magnetism are discussed at length; electric and magnetic phenomena compared; application to the cure of disease; historical development." "Including a copious account of atmospherical electricity and lightning conductors, with original investigations by the author himself. He claims in the above work to have been the first to use glass plates with electrical machines in 1756, and describes an improved Leyden Jar constructed by him for measuring electricity." "While preparing for his medical degree, Sigaud de la Fond (1730-1810) attended the famous course of public lectures given by Abbé Nollet, who aroused in him such a lively interest in experimental science that Sigaud became first a tutor in philosophy and mathematics and then a demonstrator in experimental science at the Collége Louis-le-Grand. In 1760 he succeeded the Abbé Nollet in his chair at Louis-le-Grand. In 1770 Sigaud became a professor of surgery at the school of Saint-Côme. In 1872 he returned to Bourges, where, after four years, he obtained a chair in physics at the local collége." D.S.B. Wheeler Gift Cat. 505; Ronalds, p.475. Gartrell 491. Ekelöf Cat. 496.
