It must be remembered that, at that time, anatomy was the fundamental science of medicine and formed the basis for assigning function to human organsmost remarkable about this study (which first proposes the term neurology, in greek, ?e???????a) is the attempt of the author, thomas willis () to define areas of localisation of brain function and to discuss the anatomic features of the brain from a dynamic and functional perspectivethe cerebellum and brainstem were correctly assessed as being more instinctual and acting reflexively, independent of the higher brain functionstruly a classic booktwo texts in one smallish octavo volume (134 x 76 mm): [11ff/f], 32 page [14] with 16 plates in the first text (15 folding) and two plates in the second textnote too that an 8vo/12mo appeared in in london: it is not clear whether the amsterdam edition here predates thisare you interested in this item? this item is up for auction at catawikithe library suggests the possibility of a frontispiece but this is not sofrom this perspective, willis examined the brain and tried to relate his anatomic findings in cadavers to living functionsat one point, he injected black ink into the carotid arteries and noted that the exterior part of the pituitary gland was stained blackour weekly auctions feature thousands of unusual, rare, and exceptional objects you won’t find in just any storehe discussed the swift integration of the senses into the function of the brain and the quick reactions that lead from sight to imaginationwillis attributed pulse and respiration to cerebellar functionthe company of surgeons appointed him in their anatomy lecturer on the muscles, in succession to sir charles scarborough, and he held that office till his deathhe also described the internal carotid artery at the base of the cranium and its emergence into the intradural compartmentthe only copy traced is at the wellcome library but this copy is missingthis quarto edition is listed as having 15 plates, not 16 as here (see listing at bonhams in ) it should also be noted that some copies of the two books in one volume list only 15 plates, rather than 18his work here on muscular motion appeared in london in and then (like the work of willis) came out in amsterdam in the same yearit is quite likely the first issue of the book following the first edition quartothe date on the first title page has been scratched; there are some signs of wear on the calf binding (slightly later perhaps), which shows signs of having been washed rather too readily with soap, some of which has become encrusted (remediable, one imagines)small piece of one page missing, without affecting the text (see photo) the is the continental 8vo/12mo edition of willis’s work which appeared first in the same year in londonthe frontispiece appeared in the schlagen edition and is indeed datedplease click on "respond to advert" (orange button) to get redirected to the catawiki websitehowever, willis was more concerned with the flow of ‘humours’, or toxic substances, from the brain through the floor of the third ventricle and into the pituitary glandhe described the ophthalmic artery as bringing blood to the ocular region and attributed sleepiness after the consumption of alcoholic beverages to distension or “boiling up” around the eyesthis is probably the first demonstration of the blood supply to the pituitary gland originating from the internal carotid arterieshe also discussed reflex stress reactions to fever and the quickening of the pulse and respirationturning to the work of willis, the book ushered in the era of modern neuroanatomy and laid the groundwork for future neuroanatomic and neurophysiological investigationshe also conducted experiments to investigate the cadaveric anatomic features of the brainthroughout his book, willis attempted to assign functions to various anatomic componentsas far as croone () is concerned, he was created a doctor of medicine in cambridge by royal mandate and was chosen one of the first fellows of the royal society in , after the grant of their charter, and he frequently sat upon the councilthe quarto edition supplied the plates for this small octavo edition (plates are from drawings by sir christopher wren & richard lower)in superb conditioncatawiki’s goal is to make special objects universally available

It highlights what is distinctively "human" about human behaviour in relation to things in the world, and elements which distinguish human practical activity from that of automataits starting point is the belief that wittgenstein's seemingly unsystematic remarks on seeing aspects of pictures and words, are in fact focused on a phenomenon which he labels "continuous aspect perception"this focus not only confers unity upon his treatment of the topic, but also connects that treatment with fundamental questions in the philosophy of psychology (taking issue with davidsonian approaches to these matters, for example)oxfam bookshop tunbridge wells on being in the world: wittgeinstein and heidegger on seeing aspects by stephen mulhall this study aims to cast new light on a neglected but important area of wittgenstein's philosophy, and to reveal its pertinence to the central concerns of contemporary analytic philosophyby setting seeing aspects within this interpretative framework, the author seeks to demonstrate parallels between wittgenstein's interest, and concerns at the heart of heidegger's "being and time"in very good condition, with clean pages and a cover only faintly marked at the backsee oxfam website for delivery information read morethis work strives to show that wittgenstein's investigation of aspect perception is designed to illuminate much more than a bizarre type of visual experience
