Gouvieuz, [the author?], 1924. Small 8vo (17.3 x 11.0 cm). 20 pp. Original printed wrappers.

A very rare publication, containing three polemical essays by the French medical doctor Xavier Raspail (1840-1926), the son of the famous naturalist François Victor Raspail (1794-1878), who is principally known as an ornithologist. Inscribed and signed by the author above the first drop-head title: à l'Académie des sciences d'Amsterdam, hommage de l'auteur, Xavier Raspail à Gouvieux (Oise), and with the academy's stamp on the front wrapper. The pagination is odd: [v]-xxiv, which may suggest that it is a separate offprint from a larger work, but this remains uncertain. The first essay, not mentioned in the title, is titled Avertissement de la 79e année du Manuel de la Santé. Fold, stamp (as noted) and handwritten number on the front wrapper, otherwise a very good copy. Rare, especially with the author's inscription. Not in any major bibliography.
