BURROWS, George (1832-1909). On Disorders of the Cerebral Circulation; And on the Connection between Affections of the Brain and Diseases of the Heart. London: Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans, 1846.

8vo (222 x 140 mm). 6 hand-colored lithographic plates; 4pp. advertisements at beginning, 16pp. advertisements at end. (Some very minor spotting to preliminary leaves.) Original maroon blind-stamped cloth gilt (some light wear, spine sunned). Provenance: London Hospital Medical College (shelf label on spine, stamps).

FIRST EDITION of Burrow’s research, which was critical in dispelling the earlier hypothesis by Monro-Kellie that the blood volume in the brain remains constant. Burrows “demonstrated that the amount of blood in the brain can vary and this may be responsible for clinical signs,” making this publication a “milestone in the study of cerebral vascular physiology” (McHenry). The advertisement at the read is a publisher’s catalog “Corrected April 1846.” McHenry, Garrison’s History of Neurology, P237.
