BERNARD, Claude Princpes de Médecine Expérimentale. Avant-propos par le Pr. Léon Binet.Introduction et notes par le Dr. Léon Delhoume. Preses Universitaires de France Paris 1947 Orig. printed wrapps. Scarce first edition. xlviii, 308pp. 8vo. Bernard's epochal Introduction à l'etude de la médecine expérimental, , (1865), was originally conceived of as merely the preface of a planned "grand treatise", Principes de Médecine Expérimentale, for which Bernard wrote the rough drafts of several chapters. "The Introduction itself was rewritten in the course of the following two years and was given its definitive form in the version published in August 1865. A grave illness in October 1865, from which he recovered after eighteen months, led Bernard to abandon the Principes. In 1947 L. Delhoume published, under the same title, a reconstruction of the work based on the rough drafts and augmented by the unpublished text of Bernard's lecture course of 1865."--- DSB, II, p. 26. --Olmsted & Olmsted, pp. 231-32.
